It proved Erio has improved a lot since StrikerS, but trying to pull any other facts from a point system game isn't a fair gauge of ability.

In words you can comprehend - I don't think Cypha is stronger than Signum just because she won. And that one was a real fight. But even the better fighter wont always win if caught off guard, or is fighting under terms that doesn't let her use her full potential.
Actually, the Cypha/Signum fight isn't a bad metaphor. Just like Cypha is using her haxx Eclipse powers ("Hah! I will now defeat you by letting you hit me until your weapon breaks!"), Nanoha, Fate, and possibly some of the others* are fighting under limiter effect in the ViVid skirmish (which offers a little input on the Nanoha/Ein engagement as well).

*I don't know how far down the list went, so I don't know about Tea, Subaru, Nove, Erio, Caro, and Lulu.
