comex1@village.ios.com thinks that Ranma will lose the first match, then
win fairly consistently thereafter.

I think that Ranma is more likely to win the first match (given their
native fighting styles) and that A-ko will take this as something of a
wakeup call to seriously study martial arts, and as her skill improves
she'll pull slightly ahead of him.  From that point on, he'll win
whenever he's got an effective new trick that she hasn't caught onto
yet, but otherwise her physical advantage in speed, strength and
toughness will win out.

Note for instance that Ki-blasting A-ko is a very bad ideal, as she can
easily shrug off single massive attacks. (In A-ko #2 the giant robot
fist attack broke B-ko's bra but didn't even scratch A-ko's panties...)

For my opinion of A-ko, read my fanfic:
