It simply means we should accept the fact that Natsu, Laxus, and Erza have greater feats than Gray, Mirajane, and Gildarts and give them the wins. Especially if their hype isn't inferior. Fair is not the same thing as equal. Also, what are you trying to imply? Natsu, Laxus, and Erza currently have the best feats on Ishgar's side. You seem to be under the impression that hype is something that should just be handed out like compensation to characters that don't have feats. If you want to use hype, you ought to have a legitimate argument that is backed up by the manga.No, what you propose is unfair.
How is it fair for Gray, Mira, and Gildartz in comparison to Natsu, Erza, and Laxus?
The latter three has had at least 10x the amount of panel time compared to the first 3.
We give those that don't have feats hype that way you can even out the playing field. In other words, we give them the benefit of the doubt because Mashima isn't giving them enough feats.
It's hardly fair to allow hype for both sides when one side clearly has way more feats.
You said it yourself.
Feats are more important then hype. That's giving Natsu, Erza, and Laxus way more advantage.
That's absurd, especially when they have enough feats to back them up.
If Natsu, Erza, and Laxus' feats aren't good enough to prove themselves worthy, then too bad.
Their skill just didn't match the level of their opponent. What's there to argue about that?
No, I'm not giving them any extra hype.
Hype is reserved for those that haven't had the chance to prove themselves.
People are degrading Gray, Mira, and Gildartz's feats to "Tartaros level" in an Alvarez-Setting Tournament.
If anybody is deserving greater hype, it's those that don't have feats up to date.
I am perfectly willing to use Gray's feats against Ajeel or during the Avatar arc to measure him.
There is no reason to believe Mirajane is stronger than Seilah, and has surpassed any Spriggans in power level.
And any assessment on how strong Gildarts is pure speculation.
