I wouldn't say so. To just say the fights happen the way they do because the plot calls for it would be saying that the story tellings is "meh" at best. What examples do you have? I can think of few situations where a character died looking weaker than they are, and each one of those can be chalked up to circumstance. Jason is the one who looked most bitch upon death, and even then, it seems like he was just caving to fear. It doesn't happen just cause Ishida wanted it to; not to say that that doesn't have anything to do with it.

I'm just saying that just having the fight go the direction most convienent for the plot would be rather...thoughtless of him.

Well you see, that sheet works as, even if two Bikaku users are say, 36.5 (just to throw a number out there), it doesn't mean their equal in ability. One could have more stamina. One could be quicker. One could be smart. So many factors go into the battles in this series, that one can't simply say "Oh, this person is stronger."
