Truly I really don't think you have thought this through. For starters neither you, nor I, nor anyone here has been in a life and death fight to start with, so I don't think it is right to comment. Secondly I can tell you for certain that Strength has a significant impact on a fight. I would choose skill over stregnth given the choice, but there are levels of brute force that no amount of skill can overcome despite what any manga might claim. Finally you completely overlooked the factor of experience. An untrained fighter that has survived a number of life or death struggles would be able to use it to compensate against a better trained, but less experienced opponent.
