Team 1 for me, its just too much for one man to handle, even August.
Personally im still expecting Gildarts to beat August, and not with this much help

 

[Nemispelled]

I agree, CS, Laxus, and Natsu would ultimately win against August.

CS wouldn't be a factor in this as August can pretty much just stomp them like what he did canonically.

It would come down to Laxus and Natsu vs. August, which of course, would go to the duo.

Natsu with FDKM can fodderize low-mid tier Spriggans. At full power, he is well above even the high tier Spriggans. Laxus would defeat Wahl as easily as Gray defeated Invel, if it weren't for the elemental-handicap. So he would be on the same level as Natsu.

August is only one top-tier Spriggan. While he would likely defeat Laxus or Natsu in a solo battle, the result would be the opposite if he tried to fight a simultaneous battle against 2 of Ishgar's top-tiered mages.

As a result, my conclusion to this match up would be that Laxus & Natsu wins mid-high diff.

Yeah, I agree with you guys...

• Crime Sorcière + Laxus Dreyar + Natsu Dragneel > August [Medium Difficulty]

August may be able to take down each one of them individually. But to take down 3 of Ishgar's strongest characters is a little too much. We have to keep in mind that August isn't exactly what his hype portrayed him to be. He will eventually be taken down like every other Spriggan. Plus, Zeref is stronger than him. So for Jellal, Laxus, and Natsu to lose against August means that they would be crushed by Zeref. At this point in the series, I don't see that happening.

August. If Jellal is near Natsu and/or Laxus's strength, then this is a no-brainer. August seems like be beat CS without breaking a single sweat, and if this is the case, then he should be winning this with difficulty. Maybe if CS put u some sort of fight, I may have given this to Team Laxus, but they couldn't do jackshit.

I agree with that. If Jellal is still a top-tier character, comparable to Laxus for instance, then August should have no trouble dealing with even these 3 combiined (+ the rest of CS). In theory, he's just too strong.
... But this is FT, and even August will fall eventually. If Laxus + Natsu + Jellal + OS can not beat him, i don't know who could.

 

[Demon Hunter]

August > Laxus = no diff
August > Natsu = no diff
August > CS = no diff
Laxus = Jellal > CS > Natsu
August > Jellal+CS = no diff

add Laxus and Natsu but it won't change anything.

August low - mid diff at best.

I voted team 1. I still maintain that Laxus can give Zeref's top brass a mid diff fight at least. Add in Natsu and CS, then I think it's just too much. But August did stomp CS... it's an outstanding feat. But August hasn't faced FT - the biggest improvers over the timeskip easily... no one has really tracked Natsu or Laxus' improvement.

Yeah but the fights here aren't really FT plot-based, so it's actually realistic. August will win this with no doubt, unless Natsu or Laxus gets a major powerup

If Jellal and Laxus are peers in power, with Natsu just a bit below them, then August is winning this. He solo'd CS like it was nothing, even Jellal didn't give him any sort of challenge. If Natsu showed he was very close to Zeref in power without needing Igneel's powerup, then maybe they'd have a chance.

If Jellal and Laxus are peers. Laxus can take more damage than Jellal can imo, he killed Wall as well. Natsu is probably on Laxus' level, or close to it. August can win this but I'll favour the group atm.

 

[M3J]

Natsu hasn't done anything that shows he's on Laxus's level from what I recall. I could be wrong though. But it's hard to favor the group when August didn't even break a sweat against CS, even after being stabbed.

 

[Geralt of Rivia]

We've grossly overestimated Irene and are probably doing the same mistake with August here. It's true that based on what we've seen so far, it looks like August could definitely solo them. But I just know August will be brought down with less firepower than that... -___-

Besides, Laxus doesn't have MBP's holding him back anymore. Laxus without MBP's beat Jura and stomped Base Tempesta. Laxus with MBP's got overwhelmed by EF Tempesta and passed out afterwords. Laxus now could be stronger (or maybe even much stronger) than he was before.

I'll change my vote to August and when he finally flops (only a matter of time with Hiro...), I'll change my vote back to the team.

 

[Crescent Jinx]

But August easily defended Azir against Laxus's attack. And he hurt Natsu with a lava/flame base attack, which is Natsu's element. Plus he was bored against Jellal and OS. Still think he's the shakuma of this story and it will take a very special thing like Reisha powerup to defeat him - so END/dragonizd, Acnologia, Mavis with heart, Erza with Irene's power, or Anna H.
So voted 4 August.
Depends on how Mashima develops his battle.

 

[Plutogrim]

August is great, but you guys are overating him.

At best August is about 3 Spirigan combine.
He loses this low diff.

 

[**Silver**]

FDKM Natsu soloes High-Extreme difficulty...

 

[Takuan]

FDKM Natsu soloes High-Extreme difficulty...

Wait what

No dude no...

........ The funny thing is, it's not even hard to believe.... It could very welll happen...
Trump card versus Acno got defeated by Sting, Wendy out enchanted Irene...
FDKM Natsu could actually beat August... That's how fucked up power levels have become.
Though that's DEFINITELY NOT supposed to happen.

 

[Nemispelled]

I'm going to have to disagree with the Jellal = Laxus & Natsu idea. While I understand that Jellal is no pushover, his feats just cannot be compared to his peers.

That would be discrediting Natsu quite a bit, as well as Laxus.

Laxus' only major feat this arc was defeating a Spriggan while being handicapped. But Wahl is arguably one of the few Spriggans this arc that actually possessed quite a bit of firepower.

I think there is a general consensus here that Wahl is at least mid-high tier Spriggan. And I would agree with that.

As for Natsu, so far in the arc, he is responsible for taking out a quarter of the entire Spriggan 12. Natsu has personally defeated 3 out of the 12 Spriggans including Enhanced Neinhart, Jacob, and Dimaria...

Now, given, Neinhart and Jacob aren't impressive feats... Natsu still defeated both with relatively low difficulty. And defeating Dimaria just adds to this credibility.


And remember, August has to fight a simultaneous battle in this match up. That makes it increasingly more difficult for him to dodge Natsu and Laxus' attacks.

If August were hit by Red Lightning and FDK Demolition Fist, I highly doubt he would emerge unscathed. Especially after the amount of training that both Natsu and Laxus put in, during the timeskip.

 

[M3J]

Isn't one of the CS known as one of the fastest person? If August can deal with that kind of speed and take on the entire guild without any damage, there's no reason to believe Laxus and Natsu would succeed, unless they can boost their speed to an insane amount.

August stomps this

You guys are overestimating the team. August already mopped the floor with CS, adding laxus and natsu wouldn’t make any difference since all of them are caster type wizards and it has been canonically confirmed that august is immune to caster type magic. Have you seen how he manhandled gildarts? Do you think laxus, jellal or natsu can do that to him?

August uses their own powers to beat their asses.

To be fair, all comments were made before August's copy magic was revealed.

Even so, the team has a chance. It comes down to whether Natsu can become enraged like he did against Zeref. Watching August murder practically everyone else might be enough for that.
