Having an ability or arsenal is different to actually applying it in a real fight. I shouldn't have said powerscaling, I should have said how they applied it.

Some Examples I would point out:

Natsu vs Ace, Ace does have Conqueror Haki, but never actually mastered it or used it at his own will, the fact that Ace has kept up with Gear 2 Luffy's speed but it doesn't mean he relies on speed to dodge an attack. Whereas Natsu uses his Mobility and Speed more often to get up close to his opponents in a blink of an eye. Some say Ace may have some physical abilities such as strength and speed. True, but the way he fights is really an over-realiance on using Fire for Attack and Logia Intangibility for Defense.

Zoro vs Erza, Erza has a vast amounts of armor but her habit and reliance on the clear heart clothing to finish the job is what dragged her down as Zoro surpasses her in Speed, Strength and Skill in swordmanship. Scaling Zoro's Speed was faster than what Erza's reflex when she deflected a bullet.

Personality traits are also counted such as in Donkey Kong vs Knuckles, Knuckles stubborn attitude and rushing in without combat strategy is also a reason why he lost.

Imo, Death Battle and VS Battle are completely different. Death Battle takes into account of the combatant's ability, weapon, skill, weaknesses, personality and actually shows where the combatant applies it. Whereas VS Battle just uses pure powerscaling, arsenal and stats, assuming that the combatant stands still waiting to get hit just like a videogame Pokemon Battle, which I don't find any reliable.

Knowing this, I find it one-sided on Natsu's favor knowing that he is a more experienced fighter, faster than the eyesight and stronger. Issei would be starting by boosting his gear every 10 seconds, and of course Natsu is way much faster than that. While Issei charges, he usually counts on Rias and his friends to defend him. Which is why if Issei boosts, Natsu could already kill him already, unless he charges power before the battle. Just like the time where he boosts his gear, a demon stabbed him instantly. Unfortunately combatants in Death Battle are not allowed to prepare the fight.
