Personally I find it rather fitting that a manga that has "friends are awesome" as a theme has such meaningful contributions from the main character's friends in battle. Some people take this as evidence that Natsu is weak, but I find that those people tend to not only utterly dismiss fodder, but also ignore that when you're roughly equal to a bunch of people, sometimes you'll beat them, sometimes they'll beat you, and some match ups are better than others.
But still some fights Natsu wins and he shouldn't have won them like against Gajeel
if good writing and luck is on his side he wins most of his epic battles
