The vast majority of fights in this series win because of bullshit, most notably the fight against Hades, where when Makarov shows up and they talk, he literally calls bullshit on the whole fight, and chalks up their victory to complete circumstance and friendship power. You're saying vs. Future Rogue (rematch) was good? Erza vs. Kyoka? Mira vs. Seilah? Natsu vs. Jackal? Erza vs. Minerva (both times)? Natsu vs. Zancrow? Seriously, all of these are just examples of garbage fights. There have been only a handful of good fights in this entire fighting series. And throwing the Queen of Bad Fights up with Mr. Pretty Boy and her personal lackey into a fight against a member of the Spriggan 12, who are supposed to be roughly around the same level of base power (enormous, just as a reminder), mind you, does not get my hopes up. Neinhart better have the power to bend reality itself, because- oh wait, nevermind, Erza already has an armor that can cut through magic. And therefore she can win whatever she wants. Sorry.
