For most of the Spriggan battles, I'd like to see 2 v 1, or more v the Spriggan. Or, if we do eventually get a 1 v 1, I want the Spriggan to have already fought and won previous battles. Mashima hasn't done this sort of thing (or well, at least) imo since Tenrou, but that's what made Tenrou so great for me. Azuma takes out Mira, takes out Lisanna, falls to Erza. Rusty takes out Elfman and Ever, falls to a team of 5 FT Mages. Meredy holds her own against Erza and Juvia, then tries to also take down Gray, but falls(?) to Juvia. They were all nice battles imo, and the losses weren't so bad when you looked at what they achieved before they fell. Since then I feel we've only gotten 1 v 1 with no clear winner and then the enemy falls later to a single FT Mage, or one that has barely any help. I just think it'd be better to see multiple fights with multiple people. Might only be me though.

As for August v Jellal, I too crave this. People call Jellal weak because he's never had a chance to properly show the abilities he's been hyped to possess the entire time. Everything Wrath said about the Council etc is true, but his fight history SUCKS:
 * "Fight" with Erza was... lost? I dunno, to me this was always a psychological battle, which Jellal won.
 * Showed some great (albeit incomplete) abilities in v Natsu, but fell because... bad guy syndrome.
 * Oracion arc used all his Magic attempting the Nirvana destruction -> fell to Midnight early due to having no power left (plus, his mind was fucked this arc).
 * Vs Zero was just Natsu's power-up .-.
 * GMG lost because sabotage. Note though that he seemed poised to defeat Jura, the level 5 Saint.
 * Vs OS was trying to recruit and not defeat and didn't have the motive to defeat, rather impede and recruit. Was more about getting his message across (whilst defending them all off) and then asking them to join.

Imo, as such, Jellal has never (since his good guy turn) had a chance to go all out on an enemy with everything he's got. He's either been sidelined with excuses, or not had the need to go all out, and I think people underestimate him for this.

August has been stated to possess knowledge of a vast array of Magic. Jellal, as a character on this wiki, has the most amount of Magics listed in his userbox. He's talented in a wide variety too, and imo hasn't shown his true potential. Again, I think I'd like August to have already fought and defeated others (because ngl, I think August could trump Jellal due to experience - at least from what's been stated so far) and then face Jellal. It would be a great battle imo and make the "Jellal's weak/why does everyone say he's strong?/what a sissy" haters shut up for 5 minutes (before hating on a different part of his character) ( .__.)
