Hah hah, yeah, but that day comes for everyone.

Look at it like this: Lord Lastalia outclassed Erika badly in speed and combat experience while being somewhat equal in hax (plus she could not mirror his powers nor catch up anytime soon due to all of them consuming his existence): 95% of the match was Erika being ragdolled around and blitzed. If I pretend no hax was there and equalized their speed, Erika would still be ragdolled simply because in this case, her experience works against her.

It's like if you got used to fighting with a sword and suddenly someone takes that away and gives you a bow against an expert archer: There is literally nothing in verse that can strip Erika of her powers (not even the Abysstracts or, even worse, the Drives) and, if there was, she would mirror it and nope the nullification.

She never had to concern herself with such a possibility of relying on "honourable martial combat" alone, meaning she has horrible compatibility with Kharn. I mean, she's not helpless, but she would be getting used to do what Kharn does mid-battle, while he's been doing it for 10 000 years+.

As far as I'm concerned it's a-ok for this match, nevertheless. I mean, Erika's situation is not that different from characters such as Lavos or BB, who got a loss against the ax-crazy killer of hax with an axe.
