Splitting and higher chance of success/special/critical allready lets the higher skilled opponent come out on op.

So if you have 134% in broad sword, you can subtract 34% from the defenders parry, making it easier to get around his defenses. By the same token if you have a 156% in parry you can subtract 56% from your opponents attack, thereby causing him to miss, or deflect his attack. It really is very easy to remember and is very simple as long as you are not afraid of <gasp!> subtraction.

While subtractions might be easy, all math that is not intuitive bogs down combat.
