With Thor, I don't think you guys are taking into account the added abilities he gained when Odin died. He can do more than project lightning and wind. And, as for his fighting skills, just because he's been around for a long time doesn't mean he's a master of a fighting skill. He largely just runs in with his hammer and bashes things. Compare that to someone like, say, Captain America, who's more tactical and tends to be more methodical in how he takes out his opponents. A four means he's extremely good...but not a master of a style. It doesn't automatically mean anyone with a five can beat him, mind you, just that he hasn't mastered anything (and, let's be honest, have we seen ANY evidence he's mastered any fighting style? Because we can't really go on "oh, he's been around for centuries, so he MUST have". Especially with all of the periods of rebirth the Asgardians go through and the number of times we've seen them just...sitting around).
