I agree in many cases, but some of it depends on how you work the mechanics of the crossing over itself. Certainly if you're going to directly fuse the two universes, then given proper training Ranma could be as capable as any of the other human cast members. On the other hand, if you're doing one of those "wormhole" type crossovers (where both the Ranma and DBZ universes exist independently, and something happens to bring the two universes into contact) then you probably couldn't say that.

I think there's some ammount of leeway for the authors to fudge things in that regard. If we're playing with the rules, we can also play with how much energy is required to do some of those things. (Heck, Happousai's Bathouse-fu appears to incorporate a rather odd form of teleportation.)

Bleah. Agreed, let's avoid that one. Like the plague.
