User blog comment:Sargenttacos115/Why are Sting and Rouge so weak?/@comment-83.80.135.61-20140828164942

What makes you think they're weak? I'll have you know that the fight between Natsu and Sting/Rogue was purely plot-armoured. There was NO way Natsu could have won that fight if it wasn't for the bullshit PoF. In reality, Sting in Dragon Force is just short of Natsu using his Lightning Flame Dragon Mode while Rogue in Dragon Force is only weaker than Gajeel in Iron Shadow Dragon Mode. All across the internet, people have been complaining about the fight; that ridiculous fight had only been there for the plot, also known as PIS.
