Again, duels. I'd rather see some sort of teamwork, multiple people fighting. Duels are so... passe. I know it's shounen, but still.
Anyway, looks to be basically be a setup chapter for the duels. Show the bad guys, show the bad guys' power, establish that the good guys are in trouble, and now we'll have multiple chapters of 1v1 (except for Lucy's group) where the good guys get thrashed around, and then pull out a win.
Seriously, Mashima, you can do better than cliche. I'm almost more interested in the tournament, where more than 1v1 is a possibility, and we don't know the matchups. Although I am interested in seeing Mirajane's fight, as we don't get to see her in a serious fight too often.
