Good points. I mean I get the feats>hype logic, but at the same time, in any vs battle in any universe, we should be able to extrapolate what a character can do based on their hype, because the hype gives an idea of the character's skillset, skill level,and their combat experience- and this refers to the quality of opponents faced, amount of battles, and type of experience gained, the wisdom, skills, and mastery that comes from progressing through battles. I mean, was it a big surprise to anyone that Pain defeated Jiriaiya? The same Pain who defeated Hanzo, who was the same Hanzo who defeated all 3 Sannins in battle at the same time in the 2nd World War? Pain's hype alone already told us what we needed to know about who would win between him and Jiraiya. The feats are important too, as they give us more specific details, including scaling of their physical stats, which are important to consider alongside experience. IF hype contradicts feats, then its bad writing, or the character who gave said hype was terribly misinformed. That said though, I'm more open to the idea of sasuke defeating kid kakashi given that I can't verify how kakashi fought as a kid when he joined the anbu.
