Exactly, because if we really think about the Erza we know and love, she would’ve used the Nakagami Armor to take out Kyôka, but why didn’t she? Because it only negates magic, and it was already said that cures Exceed magic
Erza never needed nakagami armour to beat Kyouka. She literally punched her out and then slashed her with regular swords. Takeover itself is a magic. Erza can dispel Mirajane's takeover entirely. Not that Erza would really need to summon nakagami. If she just drops all her swords on Mirajane like she did Acnologia while Mirajane is transforming, that alone would be enough.Exactly, because if we really think about the Erza we know and love, she would’ve used the Nakagami Armor to take out Kyôka, but why didn’t she?

But look at it this way, Seliah has already had Erza under Macro, Same way she had Elfman, Mira will use Macro and do the same thing seliah did because Erza would’ve fallen to Macro if not for who?Erza never needed nakagami armour to beat Kyouka.

Curses were never confirmed to be better than magic. The only person that said curses is better than magic is Mard Geer, and Mard and his entire guild were defeated by mages. Tartarus was basically rendered completely irrelevant once the parent dragons (who all use magic) decided to react to Acnologia. Even if Mard had beaten Natsu and Gray, one of the parent dragons would have just stepped on him after they destroyed all of the faces. Everyone stronger and more knowledgeable than Mard Geer all consider magic to be stronger than curses. Zeref and Mavis both recognize that Fairy Heart, which is a magic, to be far stronger than any curse. Acnologia considers the etherious to be a joke compared to his own magic power. The strongest curse users are ridiculously weak compared to the strongest magic users. There are more magic-using characters that can solo the entire cast of curse-using characters than there are actually curse-using characters. Really think about the implication of what that means. Magic has more raw power, better hax, and stronger characters.
That was during the Tartarus arc. Current Erza is much stronger. Macro wasn't really a factor against any of Mirajane's opponents post-timeskip, and Erza is arguably stronger than any opponent Mirajane faced except Irene. Plus, Mirajane needs to be in her takeover to use macro on Erza. In the time that it takes Mirajane to transform, Erza could just drop a bunch of swords on Mirajane.
Current Erza is several times stronger than Tartarus arc Erza, and several time stronger than opponents that current Mirajane struggles with. "Telling your opponents to go to sleep isn't a battle" is no excuse. Mirajane was fighting a war, and she ended up spending all her magical power on Juliet and Heine tells us that they were beyond the capabilities of her simply macroing them. Same with Jacob, and all the other opponents Mirajane has fought this arc.
It is an excuse. Hacks are not battles so they are not used, just like how Bloodman simply forgot to use Macro on Gajeel.
No, it's not an excuse. "Hax is not a battle" doesn't explain why Mirajane would use up all her magic power fighting fodders when there was a far simpler way to beat them with macro, unless macro simply would not have cut it. The mere fact that Mirajane herself had to resort to Alegria meant that she couldn't have just easily macro'd Juliet and Heine. Saying "because plot" or "PIS" is just a bad excuse for hyping characters beyond what they have shown. Macro didn't work on Wall's proxy bot, and it didn't help against Mirajane fighting any strong. Mirajane didn't take out hundreds of people with macro. She took out like 30. Also 100 fodders is still 100 fodders. Taking out 100 fodders doesn't mean you can tickle a Spriggan. No reason to assume it Macro would be a deciding factor against Erza, who is far stronger than anyone Mirajane has ever fought.
Oh. So you’re ignoring the fact that Bloodman didn’t use Macro on a Gajeel? Why didn’t he? Because plot: You’re ignoring the fact that Satan Soul was nerfed? Interesting. Mirajane wouldn’t have known Macro wouldn’t have worked because she didn’t use it. Nobody in their right mind wouldn’t at least try. It takes her a few seconds to give an order but she didn’t. Why? Because plot. That’s an objective fact. She didn’t use Macro because the plot didn’t allow it. Mirajane went straight to Alegria because she needed to show us a new form. Alegria wasn’t necessary to defeat the swords. At all.No, it's not an excuse.

This is all Erza needs to do to beat Mirajane. Erza can drop all her swords on Acnologia. Acnologia is faster than Mirajane and he could not dodge this attack, and it takes less time for Erza to drop her swords than it takes for Mirajane to transform into Sayla Soul, and then use Sayla Soul to make a command. Of course current Erza is way stronger than Tartarus arc Erza. God Serena or any of the Spriggans would solo all of Tartarus. Bloodman basically is all of Tartarus, and he was beaten by Gajeel. Erza was blocking END-power Natsu and Gray's enraged attacks. She broke Irene's meteor with all her bones shattered. How well did Mirajane do against Irene? She exhausted her power fighting swords that Irene enchanted lol. Erza is on a completely different level to Mirajane as a fighter.
The mere fact that Bloodman didn't even attempt to use macro on Gajeel tells that that macro wouldn't have worked. If Bloodman could have just used macro to beat Gajeel, he would have done so instead of getting ripped apart and killed by Gajeel. We can assume that the characters know the limits of their abilities better than your imagination, and that if they opted not to use an ability it's because they don't have confidence in it. Macro is the single most overrated ability in this series. It's only ever taken out fodders. The way Mirajane uses it, it's not even better than Mystogan's sleep magic. Again, if your argument is that Mirajane is simply too inept to use macro, then this is an easy victory for Erza. Because Erza has feats of simply dropping swords on Acnologia. That's a top tier opponent, and there's no hesitation.
No. Now you’re being an idiot. Why tf wouldn’t Macro work on Gajeel? Gajeel of all people. He’s not even all that. Bloodman didn’t use Macro on Gajeel beause it would’ve been an instant victory and the plot wouldn’t allow that to happen because 1. That’s not a fight 2. Gajeel needed to win
Macro wouldn't work on Gajeel for the same reason it doesn't work on Wall. Gajeel is too strong. Gajeel is stronger than Mirajane too, btw. Stop crying about plot when it's obvious that the author wants to portray which characters are stronger. It's your imagination versus the manga. Gajeel ripped Bloodman to pieces. If Bloodman's macro could have made a difference, he would have used it instead of allowing himself to get killed. The fact that he didn't is testament to Bloodman's limitations. Either the limitations of macro, or a display of Bloodman's ineptitude. If anything, arguing that macro is unstoppable even though Mirajane doesn't always use it is just proof that in character Mirajane is a jobber. In which case, Erza will easily capitalize and blitz.
Except Macro would work on Gajeel. Gajeel only ripped apart Bloodman because he was the only person who could actually touch him? I wonder why? I wonder why it was convenient that Gajeel was the only person who could physically touch him? Plot. Just like everything else in this damn series. As I said before, plot before logic in Fairytail. There’s no reason other than plot for them not attempting to use Macro. Fairytail literally won the war because of plot instead of logic.
Gajeel wasn't the only person that could actually touch him. The only reason Gajeel couldn't touch Bloodman was because his attacks are all physical. Rogue has no problem touching Bloodman's body with his shadows. Stuff like fire or lightning would make it fairly simple for character like Natsu and Laxus to touch Bloodman. Gray could freeze Bloodman. Even Juvia could harm Keith's anti-magic particles, which is the exact same as Bloodman's (though Juvia is far too weak to actually beat Bloodman).
So let’s see what Juliet and Heine can do:
Mirajane did have to use Alegria. If she could have beaten them in base, then she would have done so. Especially since Alegria exhausts her power supply, and Mirajane knew she had to fight opponents far stronger than them later. There's no reason to assume that Mirajane was nerfed. Juliet and Heine were simply too strong for her to deal with using anything other than Alegria. The reason why Mirajane didn't fly away from their attacks? Because they were too fast and she couldn't. Simple as that.
Wait... did you just say they were too fast to fly away from? How... how does that make sense? They didn’t even move. They threw their attacks and kicked Mira once and you’re saying they’re too fast to fly away from? BASED ON WHAT? Mira didn’t even bother to take her wings out.it was like Mira forgot she was fast. It was like Mira forgot she could shoot blasts. It was nerf through and through but carry on being a Mirajane hater.
Based on the fact that Mirajane got hit. Their punches and kicks could tag Mirajane before Mirajane could sprout her wings and fly away. Or more likely, Mirajane was trying to stand her ground and block the attacks, but they were too fast for her to block.
SHE GOT HIT BECAUSE SHE STOOD STILL LIKE A DUMBASS EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS SPEED FEATS THAT SHOW SHE COULD HAVE DODGED EVERY SINGLE ATTACK.
