I certainly hope Lucy will be able to get at least a tie out of this battle. I've been waiting for her battle. I hope her training really paid off. In other arcs Lucy has been shown to be quite a bit weaker than other main characters like Natsu, Erza and Gray. I'm not saying she was weak, but she wasn't as strong as the other main characters. She was always trying to catch up with them, but failed to do so in most cases. She usually ends up relying on the power of her friends or her own luck to survive.

I hope she surprises me in this battle. The next chapter will probably have lots of gags, boobs and comical moments before she gets serious in the end. I just hope that she delivers when she gets serious.

She's probably going to play a key role in the dragon slayer business later on, so it's about time for her stand together with the others, instead of trying to catch up with them.

I was disappointed because I wanted Hiro to show-case some new abilities or tactics for each character, but only Eve and Chin-man seemed to utilize any tactics, and only Rufus displayed any worthwhile ability. That left the impression that Leon, Yeagar, Beth, Juvia and Gray were just running around slapping each other.
I kind of agree with you. I understand Raven Tail and Sabertooth having strong members, but it was like the other teams didn't even try. Gray usually uses his creation magic in unexpected ways, but I haven't seen him use any of it. Same goes for Juvia, Leon, Yeagar and Beth though. Hiro is probably using this round to glorify Raven Tail and Sabertooth, while saving Gray's and Juvia's skills for a battle later on...

I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing a Leo and Capricorn combo.

It wouldn't be surprising if Flare or someone else in the tournament turned out to be a celestial wizard (or if more than one of them did), because Lucy still has two more golden keys to prove she's worthy of having. And as I have said once before, I want to see Lucy walk away with at least a tie. It's allowed, after all, and both teams would be awarded 5 points, which would keep the first day from being a complete and utter failure. Otherwise we'll have to wait for the start of the second day onward to see Fairy Tail turn things around.
Nope I mean exactly what I wrote. FT should not win this tournament and Sabertooth is most likely the guild to prevent that from happening. I don't really care about Raven's Tail right now because I want an arc just with FT and Raven Tail without the other guilds.

Lol I loved Mirajanes fantasy
Now I want to see the match between them even more, Mirajane clearly still has rivalry going on so she won't go easy on Erza.

So just because he lost a fight where he was completely unaware of what was going on, especially regarding a new environment, he now sucks? Where a butt chined maniac was stalking him.
I guess you think most characters suck or something. Nice logic.

It's "Gray" btw.

You can say the conditions were more unfavorable for him than others (why?), but remember they all started out the same. He still came dead last without being able to do or even understand anything. Maybe he'd have come first or second in an ice sculpture contest, but that's pretty faint praise...

You are evidently missing my point. The gist of my argument is that poster said gray sucks (which may have been sarcasm, i don't know). I took an exception to that thus me arguing that he lost one match where the opponent's ability was better suited in regards to a glorified hide and seek game in a unfamiliar environment.

Yes I agree he could've been better, made better decisions, instead of being surprised every few seconds, however saying he sucks is downright laughable. It's like saying natsu sucks because he lost to gildartz.

I'm just waiting for him to take his "revenge", and beat some ***** up. I'll admit gray's my fav character so I'm being a bit oversensitive, whatever.

10 to 1 says Lucy is gonna loose. First in order to hype up raven tail, we can't have them loosing or even tying this early on. Second, a come from behind victory will be more interesting to see; as such fairy tail needs to loose these early fights so that they can remain the underdogs. Third, i doubt Lucy would be the one to give us Fairy tail's first solid victory; i'd be more expecting of Natsu or Erza to give us their first solid victory... with 5 days and two competetions a day, that means there is enough time for Fairy tail to perform poorly in the first 2 days and still come out well from behind by the end of day 5.

Granted fairy tail B team, might see a bit more luck in the battle depending on who they are matched up against. If its sabertooth, then they are certain to loose for the same reasons as above for Lucy loosing, plus the fact that sabertooth needs to furthar prove their strongest guild status before that status can be challenged... if its anyone else, then they have a chance. But i'm thinking that B team will end up against Sabertooth to help hype them up. Both sabertooth and raven tail are essentially playing the role of antagonist in this arc.

Explain how Gray's power was less suited than Leon's. Or Juvia's, or, well, anyone's.

He only got curbstomped like that by the Sabertooth guy, along with everyone else. But he lost to everyone else because, in this instance, he was less clever, less adaptable and less determined than the others. He's had nice victories where he did display intelligence and resolve. But this time, he was passive and dumbfounded from beginning to end. Maybe they should have put a gun to his head or something.

You are still missing my point of what the merit of my argument is. Ugh. I guess I'm going to have to convey my argument more concise and clearly:

When I meant his opponent I obviously meant nulpting. He was strictly up against him. Sure lyon, juvia were his opponents, but the most damage was dealt by that raven tail member. As you can see lyon and juvia (whom both got points, gray had 0) weren't all that better in contrast to gray.

Nulpting has the ability to completely alter his body to whatever he wants which is again a big time overcoming advantage in what is evidently a glorified hide and seek match whereas clones are produced. Has shown to have a greater agility than his appearance was perceived to be and planned his ideas on what to do better compared to gray's. Where to one point was basically stalking him and being his only one objective. Where gray was looking out for the other opponents and not realizing nulpting was primarly only after him.

I blame this all on hiro!

Nulpting is probably what we have seen is raven tail's smartest member so far as well. Also it seemed like gray underestimated that troll (yes that is gray's fault), and was basically thinking about fighting lyon (even if he didn't mention it). Nulpting finally also has the ability to enhance his perception on finding out who the original being is, to a point which even made erza an s class member shocked.

Again he could've faired better, but we haven't seen the tournament end and what gray will be doing next

Agreed with the second part, even though you put it bluntly. This will all be mostly forgotten if he gets his revenge on rufus and nulpting.

This is probably gray's second loss of the series If I'm not mistaken.

I'm pretty sure that Gray losing to everyone else had less to do with being less clever, less adaptable, and less determined than them, and more to do with that he had one guy unerringly attacking him every minute and a half and the others didn't.

I still sense Lucy will lose the coming match, even though she might pull out some surprises and her big guns. Now, whats more interesting to me at the moment are the people in Fairy Tail's B Team.

Are you seriously expecting this tournament to actually last till the end? I'm about 97% expecting one of the naughty people to crash the party...be it Zeref, Raven Tail, Fairy Tail or the freakin' Pumpkin-man.

I actually expect it to have a deciding winner. Never thought about a scenario like the Chunin exam.
