To me, Rose's defeat seemed natural. He got bewildered by the sheer stupidity/courage of Mask and the latter used the opportunity to star-blast him. On the other hand, we've got Kensei who's a Hakuda master being defeated almost immediately by another hand-to-hand combatant.

If there are people who've been training during the past century, that's no other than the Visored. However their training was focused only on developing Hollow powers and their masks became the standard power they used in fights. So, I could justify their defeat by saying they've got used to fighting with their masks on, and for a reason we don't know yet (but which probably is arrogance) they didn't use their masks.
