Yea but none the less by making them connected to the four elements make them weaker as the team could use that to an advantage I.E. Water for Fire, Earth for Wind. Etc...
Nokodoka Does have an advantage too as Ken himself has said that he likes this character...
I still have the feeling that Chisame will win it, though the thought that Cho would lie is not totally un-believeable I think she was telling the truth there and if you think about it... Chisame's Science/tech mind with Negima's magic actually would end up creating a Cho ^.^
