The problem is, there's no winning.
If you don't make Matsuri cross server, you get crushed constantly on your own server and make no progress.
If you do make it cross server, you have a higher chance to fight people closer to your power but also people way above it. Again, the people who benefit from single server Matsuri are the big fishes in tiny ponds when the people that get crushed by the 'big fishes' tend to do better on cross server.
I was LV56 with 21k power during yesterday's Matsuri and my fights went something like this (I doubt anyone I fought posts on the forums but if you do feel free to correct me if we fought)
1. LV52 6k power
2. LV58 9k power
3. LV68 19k power
4. LV 56 7k power
5. LV71 20k power
It was roughly like this and luckily won them all, what I get matched against varies wildly but only up to about 15 levels higher than myself.
Usually, since I've been matched with 20k power people as early as my 3rd fight, I take out my main team after my first 2 fights and use a sub team, if you lose, it resets you to fighting people BELOW your level, and then slowly builds up like that again, if you have two strong teams that don't overlap and you don't mind losing to win more fights later, then this is the way to go.
If you're not fortunate enough to be abnormally strong for your level, or if you run into some bad luck (I encountered 23k people in the past) you c*e the reset method to get your 5 wins.
