The earlier games were also pretty bad for "It's the last turn and you've been leading all game? Oops, looks like it's time to give all your stars to somebody else and there's nothing you can do to stop this." That's not strictly "winning every battle and still losing," since your overall loss is a consequence of losing that one critical battle (a loss which was entirely luck-based), but it's no less frustrating for it.
I mean, is "Chance Time" really a battle? If you're not the one who landed on it, there's absolutely no input from you. It's not like you had a chance - even just one based on luck - to alter the results in any way.
Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.
Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror!
