August, Gildarts, DiMaria and Gray advance.

Very strong group, but the top 4 are those. Even someone like Bloodman doesn't enter consideration for mine.

 

[LaGOAT]

August gildartz dimaria and gray this is in order

 

[Orgastthemage]

Back! Glad I made it in time for the group stages.

Definitely August, Dimaria, Gray, and Gildarts. Question, is age seal restricted? What about magic nullification?

 

[Brandish μ]

Question, is age seal restricted? What about magic nullification?

Nah none of that is restricted. Ars Magia is restricted for August.

 

[Orgastthemage]

Nah none of that is restricted. Ars Magia is restricted for August.

It´s going to be one heck of a headache deciding on who could potentially counter Dimaria´s age seal then(I can already envision the MP debates), hahahah, I absolutley love it.

 

[Spirit]

Gotta agree with Jarred here. I don't have negative feelings for any FT characters but the strongest here are obvious.
August
Dimaria
Gray
Gildarts

Is this in order?

 

[Spirit]

Is this in order?

No particular order. Fairy Tail's power rankings don't actually interest me because they're so inconsistent.

 

[Tirl]

First of all Dimaria stops time and get oneshot from August or Gildarts.
Second, every one start spawn their spells, Neinheart will die instantly.
Midnight is very cheaty mage, but he is not so strong to hold someone of Gray's calibre.
And now we have 5 persons: August, Gildarts, Gray, Brad and Minerva.
Obviously first trio is still stronger than others and can kill each of them, but who will last longer? I think Minerva may evade many attacks with her teleport and another dimension, but Brad cant. Gray freeze him and someone kill Brad. So yes, I choose Minerva.

August, Gildarts, Gray, Minerva

No i strongly disagree dimaria oneshot Minerva. Minerva barely beat a historia wall and it isn't really confirm that she even beat him. While gildartz and august wouldnt be aware that they were affected gray might not be affected either (it's hard for me to say he fought on par with END)

 

[Seven777]

Same as everyone. August, Gildarts, Dimaria and Gray. Bloodman cuts it close, but Gray's tackled tougher demons. And Dimaria is as hax as it gets, not looking forward to her 1v1 fights.

Did you read my post? I said how fight will go in my opinion. If Dimaria will not stop time she may kill somebody, but I choose her timestop to be used from start. So she dies first.
I never said that Minerva can beat Nein, I said he dies in all-fight where many spells from everyone.

 

[Ebony Maw]

Bradman in the same group as Gray, DiMaria and August....

Apart from August, this is actually really tough to decide. Gildarts and DiMaria seem like the safest bets after August but, with this being a battle royal, DiMaria could actually end up being one of the first casualties. If she starts using Age Seal straight from the outset (which she likely will), she'll be left fighting an August that has no distractions and (IMO) a Gildarts that can beat her. The second she goes down is when things get really hard to figure out since Minerva can warp around, Midnight can use Reflector to divert attacks, Gray can use his wits and ice-make to stay in the game, and Bradman has a large variety of hax to unleash. To make things more complex, you have Neinhart there and since everyone here is an enemy, that gives him a large variety of historias to summon. Minerva can't really do anything here, she struggled against Historia Wahl so she's pretty much just a distraction. Midnight is tough to gauge and he could cause some confusion via illusions, but any Spriggan tier should be able to put him down without too much difficulty. As for Neinhart, I don't see him lasting long with the amount of firepower being thrown around, especially since he could get blindsided at any point. Bradman's a wild card due to his constant MBP emission + general hax, but Gray is in the arena too and could one-shot him. Assuming DiMaria doesn't get killed/KO'd by August in the opening of the match, she's basically guaranteed to get through, though tbh I could see her getting eliminated right off the bat.

I'm not really sure what to think, this is much harder to judge due to the large variety of hax. I think I'll wait a while before voting.

It could be said in any1 battle royal. Who knows gildartz might go after august first because he sense how powerful he is while dimaria will use time stop gildartz and august will be fighting not knowing that she used TS beacause it doesn't affect them she proceed to oneshot the weaklings that r below her gray would be the only standing while august and gildartz r till fighting bells rings the top 4 advances

Again, I brought my own version. You don't argue now the power or ability of characters, you just give your version of events. But as I found Dimaria for what she is, I have her uses timestop in very beginning.
A and G don't need to fight each others. A can say "One of that trio in TS oneshot with single blow everyone from other 5".

 

[Jean Grey]

1. Dimaria
2. August
3. Gildarts
4. Gray

as much as I love Bloodman, I don't think he can pass them.

 

[Arjuna]

August-Nothing to say.The most favourite to win the Tournament.

Gildarts-He comes second.

Dimaria-I believe Dimaria is tad below Gildarts.Her Age Seal is super.She comes third.

Gray-Gray comes fourth with his full Demonised form.

 

[CaptainTorch]

Ok, this one is quite interesting. I noticed that a lot of people don't simply vote them by power level, but by how they are going to act in the battle, so I decided to vote taking that factor in.
The way I see the battle:

1.August
I think this is quite obvious. There is no one who could rival August in this battle(and tournament). He can easily copy everyone's magic, and he is a tank as well. I see no possibilities of him losing.

2.Dimaria
Dimaria takes this quite handily. She is not strong enough to beat the top dogs as August, but she is pretty strong nonetheless. But the reason she passes is her Age Seal. Since she can stop time, it will allow her to easily avoid hits from others/land attacks. More than that, she is not an easy target, since she can simply stop time and move freely around the battlefield. Granted, August might be able to bypass her magic, but in that case she can just resume time, and knowing August, he will be busy with more stronger opponents.

3.Gildarts
Gildarts definetly passes. he is the strongest on Ishgar's side(excluding maybe DF Natsu), and his speed and strength are immense. He can easily beat everyone bar Dimaria and August. And he won't lose to both of them that easily, so even if these two target him, the battle will be long. Long enough for the other contestants to get beaten.

4.Gray.
As I think, Gray passes as well. He is a really strong fighter, and there is no one in this group who has a solid advantage over him that would result in Gray getting stomped. He solidly gets the 4th place.

5.Bloodman
As cool as Bloodman is, he is going to get destroyed. He isn't very strong, but he has hax. Sadly, this hax can be easily overtaken by Gray. And taking in the fact that Bloodman is an easy target, Gray will oneshot him.
Bloodman loses.

6.Neinhart
Neinhart is a bit tricky, especially in such a huge battle as this one. Since there's a lot of people, he can summon a lot of historias that potentially match others. But Neinhart still doesn't get into the top 4. He can't summon anything against August, so there is no way he can even match him.
The biggest thing he can summon against Gildarts is God Serena. Since he will summon only one spriggan, there is a chance that God Serena will be at full strength. However, since it was heavily implied that Gildarts would still win against GS at full power, I still think GS loses to him.
Neinhart can't really summon much against Current Gray. The strongest opponents that Gray had are very outdated, and won't play any role whatsoever(example: Ur). And even if he summons something against Dimaria(even though we cant know what it would be), Dimaria will just stop time and destroy the Historia.
So as interesting Neinharts magic is, he won't pass. I don't know how close he gets out of the remaining 4, but it is clear as day he won't par Gray and others.

7.Minerva
Minerva is pretty strong for a normal mage. She is way below Erza, but she can defeat a Historia. However she is still a mid-tier. Which means she gets destroyed this match.

8.Midnight
Midnight will survive for a while with his reflector and illusion, but he won't last long.

 

[Hermit]

Yeah August, Gildarts, Gray and Dimaria, this is pretty much a no brainer.
Btw, who chose that pic of Gray in the intro? Really nice pic, dude has solid taste
