Meh outcome to the fight, was hoping it would've been a little tougher of a fight for Natsu but whatev, Fairy Tail and Hiro Mashima in general hasn't created villains as compelling as HxH or even One Piece for the Matter

I feel like some people in this thread should look into taking an Argument and Debate class when they start attending college. It would do wonders for some of the comments here.
For the people who come into these threads and talk about how much they hate the manga and are going to drop it, why don't you? I get coming in to have a discussion about issues you have with a specific chapter or story line, but if you are making threats about dropping the manga then you obviously don't enjoy it. You do not need to justify to the MAL community why you are dropping this.
For those who are upset about the power ups, you have to make sure you do not fall into the trap of expecting that because it is written it must be true. Until there is proof of power or abilities everything is just pure speculation. The only people you really know the power of in this manga are the members of Fairy Tail and the people they have defeated so far. It is quite easy to get a reputation without really having the proof to back it up. Take for instance the very beginning of this manga. While Natsu was strong, he was not the equivalent to a S Class mage. However, he was one of the most well known mages. Most of that was due to his destructive nature, but it was misconstrued by the public as power.
Remember that at the very beginning of this manga Fairy Tail was considered the #1 guild in Fiore. That was before Lucy joined and became strong. That was before Juvia, Gajeel, and Wendy joined. It was before all the events with Gray and Natsu that solidified them as two of the more powerful mages in the guild. They were #1 even though Elfman was at half power and Mira was essentially useless. A lot has changed in Fairy Tail pointing in the direction of them getting stronger, not weaker. I am sure the other guilds have changed and added their own power as well, but we don't know that for sure yet. Again, all we know is Fairy Tail. Since they have returned we have seen them really only lose in odd events that weren't battles. The only real exception to this is the Lucy battle. It is obvious that the girl she fought was much stronger than her, but Lucy has never been considered the top tier of Fairy Tail and has always been less powerful than the others. That would make sense considering how late a start she had in being a mage.
Is it really surprising that the top members in FT would not be losing? They have proven repeatedly in the manga that their top tier mages are not to be trifled with.
Flare was not stronger than Lucy. Were in not for Obra or holding Asuka hostage, Lucy would have wiped the floor with her.
Sorry I wasn't actually thinking of the Flare battle. I really considered that a victory from the reader's standpoint so it never crossed my mind that she technically lost it. I was thinking of the water bubble battle that was an event deal, but really ended up with Lucy getting her ass handed to her. That was the only battle that was really against Fairy Tail and honestly that was probably against the strongest member of ST outside of the guild master.
