@Raven You're completely misinterpreting my comment. I wasn't referring to her using her Celestial Spirits. I'm referring to how much she's bailed out of fights or assisted. How often does Lucy actually win fights on her own? Usually Natsu or someone else comes to her aid (like her battles with Angel and Kain.) That's not to say she's weak or anything. She's just facing powerful opponents. Anytime you see Erza, however, you can be certain that she's going to kick ass without anyone else's help. :/

@Nick Erza is far from the only character whose fights seem to follow a theme. As I mentioned to Raven, Lucy more often than not has someone coming in to assist her. Lucy vs Bickslow? Loke comes in. Lucy vs Angel? Hibiki comes in. Lucy vs Kain? Natsu comes in. You'll rarely ever find a fight where Lucy is battling someone alone. And as far as winning goes, literally everyone in Fairy Tail wins their battles whether they deserve to or not. It's not just Erza as each of you is so keen to have us believe. Just because Lucy needs someone to come in and assist her in her win doesn't mean she's any different.

When was the last time I was surprised by Erza? Off the top of my head: when she speared through Tartarus's island like a boss; when she annihilated 100 monsters by herself, etc. Also, Lucy's recent fight was the most surprised I've been by her in forever. >_>

Lucy is cool and all, but I'd rather see Erza any day.
