Every new character that fights FT initially gives them a problem because they aren't used to their abilities. It's just sheer arrogance on the part of Brandish to assume that Marin could topple both Natsu and Gray, when Natsu as we saw could kill a thousand people at once and kill a God in one hit, and when we have also seen Gray utilize his new strength to freeze entire scapes of land in an instant just like his father. Brandish was judging based on appearance alone, and the fact that they were from Fairy Tail. Every single Spriggan is arrogant as balls.
