Its not sometimes. Intellect and tactics will decide the outcome any time but only if the person knows what he/she is doing and the opponent has run out of luck or the environment can be used in ones favour.

Sometimes no matter how good of a strategist you are or how strong you are if the enemy sneaks up on you, you die like any other person, similarly if you are smart you will also try to sneak up and take him/her out as soon as possible.

Well what I mean to say is Guerrilla tactics = win. I always find it strange that many anime characters lack the common sense to use guerrilla tactics and insist on charging head on. Any character that uses stealth and assassination gets a thumbs up from me. Which is why I liked Chase from the Movie. Sadly he was defeated in such a lame way.

To be honest though, I'm pretty sure that if any one of us had solid script we would dominate both of them since Mashima lacks imagination when it comes to making characters that use their imagination(lol). But again, a stupid person would stand no chance against either of them at any given point in time.
