She doesn't flinch at being hit, is not afraid of pain, and generally has "this but a flesh wound" attitude. She can simply brute force through most of what Kodachi could throw at her. She also has very low mobility, almost always deflecting or blocking instead of dodging. Against most opponents, that is her downfall. But against Kodachi... It would be like the fight of a breeze against rock. Akane would no-sell every strike and Kodachi would dodge every strike. No one would win.
That's her downfall against Kodachi right there (the underlined parts). Do you think that Akane could handle what Kodachi did during her match against Ranma? In addition to that, all she needs to do is throw something at her that will release sleep or paralysis powder (and she just happened to have a bouquet of roses that released paralysis powder when she paid Akane a visit, so she's likely to have something like that on her at any time), not necessarily because it was intercepted. Between that, Kodachi's longer range, versatility and agility, Akane's likely only going to be saved by the circumstances/author.
Plus, Akane's hardly all that durable. She's sprained her ankle twice by the time we get to Kodachi's introduction story. Sure, she has the strength to punch through a stone wall, but her body's not conditioned to take that kind of punishment without injury. Kodachi could conceivably ensure the upper hand just by snagging her ankle with her ribbon and yanking it out from under her, which is very possible if we believe that Akane is not very mobile. In reality, Akane's very much at the mercy of a fighter of Kodachi's style, even in an honest fight. That's why I think it would be more based on luck whether Akane wins: partly due to Kodachi's personality, and Akane -- being the lead girl -- not being susceptible to death or grievous injury from things like razor hoops and spike clubs.
