Yes, I do actually. I seriously doubt that Gajeel's reflexes are better than Erza's, and even if she couldn't dodge, which I'm positive she could, she could just requip any number of armors to defend her from the blast, like the Adamantine Armor per say. I seriously don't see Erza getting creamed by Laxus. Erza has a good amount of abilities on her side that make her extremely hard to deal with, she has power, (Armadura Fairy, which I may remind you collided with Knightwalker's Ravelt and destroyed an entire island, and the Purgatory Armor), she has speed (Flight Armor), and she has defense like nobody's business: defense from attacks as powerful as Jupiter, defense from fire, lightning, water, you name it, she's got an armor for it, and she has so many diverse offensive capabilities that are granted by her multitude of armors that it's hard, probably leaning towards impossible to find a discernible fighting pattern, and furthermore, she doesn't charge into battle irrationally, she'll find someone to wear her opponent down as much as possible, even if she can't win (yet). I see Laxus vs. Erza being somewhat like Erza vs. Azuma, though without her winning.
