But Irene was the one who was standing last in her fight. I don't think it's safe to say that Erza and Wendy>Irene, since Irene had to commit suicide in the end when she had Erza at her mercy. By the same token Gildarts and Cana are not>August.
We haven't seen August use any DS in his attacks though, that's the issue. We can only use attacks we've seen him display. Though I do agree on the PiS point, both Spriggans were treated too awfully in their fights.
I'd say the best thing August can do i negate all of Irene's spells. This is for her human form. If she uses her Dragon form and uses spells like Deus Sema and her Dragon Roar, August would he hard pressed to counter all of these perfectly. Both of them have the magical reserves to last in this fight as long as necessary, so I think in the end, the fight ends up being a physical brawl.
Dragon Irene edges out here, imo.
Hehe, i always have trouble arguing with you because you always make good points. But on that subject you won't manage to convince me =)
That's right, Irene > Erza and Wendy, however the girls still pushed her pretty hard and that was not an easy win by any means. In comparison Gildarts and Cana did nothing at all against August aside from inflicting him, a nose bleed or whatever itwas. Little blood around the mouth, that's it. Irene was pretty beat up, despite being the last one standing.
That's the issue for a lot of people, not for me. Makes no doubt in my eyes that he can use DS magic, that has already been debated on in the August vs Natsu topic though. Dont really feel like starting it all over.
You're right, August can negate every of Irene's spells in her Human form. I also don't see why he couldn't negate Deus Sema or her roar, considering that her roar has no feat (in her backstory only, and was no different than a regular Gajeel roar for instance, not a big deal for August) and that Deus Sema got destroyed by a broken Erza aka not impressive.
In the end, Irene has no magic to use on August, only her physical attacks, which are pretty strong in her Dragon Form. I do believe August can use Meteor or whatever it takes to dodge. He also has a ton of spells, and wield DS magic (which, again, is debatable but that's my belief).
I don't think you'll change my mind on that. I stated it a while ago and i'm stating it again, August with PiS restricted is unbeatable. The only character i could possibly imagine beating him are Acnologia and FH Zeref.
that but somehow lost to august in this tournament even with POF so august>Irene>POF natsu>FH zeref in most ppl eyes
