@Rilla So let's say you'd have to build a difficulty level chart using the regulars here in the arena, who'd populate it and where'd they be?
Depends, there are a lot of factors to consider in difficulty.
Khan and Skallagrim are both good at realistic combat, they have a good knowledge of what works and doesn't work in real life, coupled with their characters which tend to be strong and very flexible with few outright weaknesses to exploit they are probably the two hardest people to fight. I've not managed to defeat either of them despite fighting them a lot.
Green managed to make me rage-quit a fight which is quite a feat, due to how overpowered one of their characters was, so that could be considered 'difficult' I suppose.
LeeRoy has tough characters, but they tend to rely on brute strength which offers you a lot of opportunity to exploit their weaknesses. Though I'm only speaking from the experience of fighting two of his characters when I say that.
ImportantNobody makes too many characters for his own good, and his character's tend to have incredibly exploitable weaknesses. (Which isn't a bad thing, it just makes them easy to kill.) I think if he just made a solid character that wasn't inhibited by intelligence or was a bit more of an asshole (at least not inhibited by morals) he'd be more difficult to fight.
DJ seems to be good at the close combat martial arts stuff from what I've seen so far, though in our current fight I'm highly sceptical of the backflip, and you will see why when I get around to posting soon-ish.
Haven't seen too much of anyone else, Rilla tends to have very flexible swordsman characters, but I've never been able to complete a fight with him so I'm unsure of how difficult he would actually be. I definitely take him seriously though.
Finally, give me a pistol and a character with low morals and I'll kill you to death. I'm still learning how to effectively use more complex weapons like the sword and I only have a functional knowledge of unarmed combat, but I have a decent idea of what works and doesn't work in real life and I'm pretty good at picking out weak-points to exploit. I haven't lost a whole lot in a relatively fair fight, so read into that what you will.
Just thought I'd give you my perspective, as someone who's fought probably the most people in the current Arena.
From the old days Tantalum, Valeric and Sikako were all good and I enjoyed any fight I was in with them. Lysander was definitely better than me when I fought him, though I'm fairly confident if I re-fought that battle I could have killed him in the first move if I knew now what I didn't back then. Which bothers me greatly.
