Best Fights of Tartarus arc

 * 5: Wendy vs. Ezel: This was pretty badass! Wendy actually showed character growth, achieved Dragon Force, and used a badass spell! And her victory didn't feel cheap at all. What's not to love?
 * 4: Gajeel vs. Torafusa / Gray vs. Silver: GvT was awesome, mainly because Levy also contributed to that fight, and this manga is definitely in need of more Levy! As for GvS, the plot twist was godawful, I admit, but I thoroughly enjoyed this fight, from beginning to end!
 * 3: Jellal vs. OS: Frankly I've been waiting for ages to see those guys back in action again. The victory didn't feel like an asspull, as Jellal sacrificed his eyesight, and it also didn't underestimate the strength that OS are supposed to have, so yes, this fight was great.
 * 2: Natsu, Lucy & Happy vs. Franmalth: At this point nobody can change my mind that despite looking (and acting) like a joke, Franmalth was the strongest member of Tartarus with the most haxxx ability. The way they beat him was admittedly cheap, but at least I'm happy that Natsu was not able to solo him and that without Lucy's interference they'd all fail. This fight was both epic and funny at the same time, and there's just nothing not to love about it.
 * 1: Lucy vs. Tartarus: For those of you who know me, I'm a major Lucy fan, and I've been wanting for her to demostrate her potential for a really long time now. She basically saved the whole world, and I couldn't be happier. Her fight was epic, emotional, still had some ecchi, but overall it made me really proud of Lucy who I've been rooting for since the beginning ;D

Worst fights of Tartarus arc

 * 5: Natsu vs. Jackal: It was kind of interesting, mainly because Jakcal, but that's all.
 * 4: Gray (+ Gajeel?) vs. Tempesta: If he was to be wiped out as simply as that, why even bring him back? ( ._.) I hate underused characters with potential.
 * 3: Lisanna vs. Lamy: I finally expected to see Lisanna more in action, but all we got was a cat fight...literally ( ._.) and she didn't even conclude it.
 * 2: Erza vs. Kyouka: I think that by now we can all agree that there's nobody in the whole fandom who actually enjoyed this fight. We all know how Mashima loves doing...what he always does, but here he clearly overdid it. It's by far the shittiest and most undeserving victory that Erza's got, but at least the fact that Minerva landed the finishing blow somehow saved it for me.
 * 1: Erza vs. Minerva: Remember how some lines ago I said that I hate underused characters with potential? Minerva is just that. After seeing that magnificent lady be such a badass epic villainess, who wants to taint the world at her darkness and will stop at nothing to do that, we get a 2-page flashback sobstory to feel sorry for her and then she is "redeemed". And that's not even the end of it; Erza could barely fight against Minerva without her haxxx armor in the GMG, and now she defeats an EVEN MORE overpowered Minerva with crying fists and kicks??? Are you fucking kidding me??? And not only that, but somehow this joke of a fight supposedly exhausted Minerva leaving her unable to fight later? Mashima just can't be remotely sensible when he writes/draws Erza fights. Erza has now become my least favorite character to see in fights surpassing even Natsu, and that sure says a lot.
