    I must disagree with this- I would expect Ranma to be even a better
fighter. He would be lacking the grueling training his father gave him,
yes, yet he would have an even better teacher: the streets. He could
become a really great fighter by living on his own. After all, isn't the
current Ultimate Fighting Champion a guy who applied street-brawling to
Jujitsu? I'd expect him to have lots of fighting experience in all
areas, and be tough as hell.

That's dependent on where he grew up.  Remember much of Ranma's training
_did_ come from the "streets" the backroads of China and Japan.  I mean do
you really think that a street brawler could beat someone from the Amazon
village?  I'd say his father was tougher than the streets as well (who
else do you know who's willing to toss his son into a pit of hungry cats,
the guy was willing to do _anything_ to train his son in martial arts.
Besides Ranma was on the streets for a good deal of his time with Genma
anyway.)
