Also, Starlight only lost to Chrysalis the first time because of a _serious_ power disadvantage (which is absolutely true for the second time too, in addition to being outnumbered). She comes across as being _significantly_ more skilled at combat than Chrysalis is, and if the latter had a comparable (or arguably lower, judging from how she's weaker than a Twilight clone made of _wood_, without her hive) level of power, Starlight would take her down pretty much _every time_, IMO.
Which if you think about it, makes sense, because Chrysalis hasn't won a fight without a notable power advantage or the element of surprise, has she?
In other words, I like to think Starlight is generally someone who doesn't _need_ to be as strong or stronger than you to be a problem, so long as she can hurt you, while Chrysalis is used to brute forcing her way through with superior power, and/or surprising the opponent, and her reliance on minions didn't do her any favors.
