Yes I remember Yurika won against Ichigo yet that was only once, but I think you misunderstood me, I was talking about the Starlight Queen Cup not the Halloween competition. But if you want to do it from the beginning bits, Rola also won twice against Yume. I also remember Ichigo losing against Aoi during the One-Day Manager Competition. But after that, no other minor/major competition were held between the two against Ichigo. Ichigo winning against Otome was completely fair though, since Otome was the weakest idol at that time.

But did Ichigo, like Yume, have any powerful rival until Season 2? Nope. Ichigo didn't declare anyone her rival as far as I can remember. Mizuki may be someone she wanted to defeat, but above all, she was a mentor. Yume had Rola as a powerful rival and they both always openly declared each other as rivals, and they were always competing. And Ichigo didn't. That's why we didn't see her battles and her losing/winning much.

One may argue that Ichigo was a 2nd year, and Yume was still a 1st year during her time, which imo is completely understandable. But if we would look back when Ichigo had just started her 2nd year, she was already the 2nd most popular idol in her time, with only Mizuki keep defeating her. This was hinted in Episode 27 and proven in Episode 28. However with Yume, her 2nd year is about to end (possibly but I don't believe only 2-3 months have passed since then) and it took her a lot more time to reach 2nd place in Aikatsu Ranking, and yet she still hasn't surpassed the likes of Hime and Elza, the two most powerful idols in Aikatsu Stars. Back in Ichigo's era, Ichigo only had one major powerful idol (Mizuki) to compete against. But in AiStars, Yume has two mentors she'll be competing against (I think Hime will take part in Aikatsu Ranking because of her Moon Coord). Yume will (hopefully lol) either defeat Elza and lost against Hime or lost against both or win against Hime and lose against Elza or finally (which I don't hope so since I want a movie) defeat both of them.
