Meanwhile, you guys can start giving feedbacks to this tournament and the future ones! The system, the restrictions, the characters, etc.

I am thinking to ban character that has won in previous tournament.. and 2 tourneys with 32 top dogs and 32 underdogs separately, and another format (not a bracket). But for the last 2 is gonna require a lot of work (would need more mod).

 

[aymen24]

We Don’t know the specifics, and from the recent showings from characters weaker and stronger than Gildarts, it would confirm that there was indeed a fight with him.

I don't think so.......But let's see

here is some more info that they did fight back then

[aymen24]

Yes, it shows us the difference
When Acno was serious against him he lost in an instant.....

And that's really what happened with them in the end when he got serious, they lost with one attack... (And Gildarts with them)

 

[WoWfan]

It did not mean the fight ended with literally only one attack from only Acno and not Gildarts, even Natsu survived and attack from serious amped up Acno at the end of the series, so yeah.

 

[grey matter]

Aldoron went down after one technique’s first use, as many people would put it, is a one shot, don’t really see a statement that he used all his MP, not severly, it didn’t really hamper him as he said it was only a little bit.
Not really when Irene managed to trade blows with Acno for a bit. And August is roughly the same level as her, Acno literally stated she was strong which acknowledges her.

if Jellal didn’t get one shot by Acno, I doubt Gildarts would get same treatment.

By that logic most opponents in FT gets one shot because a final attack is the one that defeats lmao. DF Natsu and Aldo were trading blows, until Natsu used his finisher. Not a one shot.
Yea no, Eileen didn't "trade blows" against Acno. She pushed him once, dodged an attack, and send him off somewhere because she knows she's literal fodder to him. And this was an Acno who was bored and trying to pass time, who didn't even realize she was a DS.
The fact that August didn't register what had transpired when Acno one shot Serena, and was shitting his pants, is enough to conclude serious Acno one shots August and everyone in Alverez arc.

If Acno was serious, Jellal gets one shot easily. He was laughing maniacally the whole time

The dude literally said it was over in an instant before he registered what had happened, and you're here saying there was a fight. WTF?

He didn't say there was a fight, all he said was that Acno was on an entirely different level against him, indicating he was playing around in Tenrou (which he was).

x784 Gildarts was only strong enough to mid-high diff Bluenote. x792 Natsu one shotted him with a roar. Every mid tier (eg Elfman) and above character in x792 > x784 Gildarts
The only characters who faced Acno that he didn't need alive were Jellal and Eileen (he needed 7 DS alive to stabilize his realm). Both of them would one shot (or at least low diff) x784 Gildarts, and they both were also one shot materials for Acno had he been serious

That is what many people see those kind of fights as (one shots) despite the evidence they are not as you pointed out, the point I make is that we don't have a confirmation of a one shot for Gildarts. Which is still trading blows with Irene and Acno, she sent him away to not have him interfere with Alvarez. he literally acknowledged her strength, nothing mentioned because he was bored, he was even surprised and excited. There was not any evidence or statement that he didn't register the attack unless Acno was absolutely serious as you claim because Irene could register his attacks too and August scales to her, he was shocked because someone like GS who has 8 DS magics was defeated so clickily. Acno wants to kill all DS, and Jellal was in his way, so off course he was serious. Acno when amped by a dimension worth of magic could not even one shot Natsu. Gildarts confirmed there was as I posted where Acno did fight back then compared him fighting in Tenrou. "fought" in literal definition is to take part in a violent struggle involving the exchange of physical blows or the use of weapons, Acnologia getting serious could not even oneshot Christina and knocked back when Acno was getting serious, even Gajeel who was amped by Brandish managed to stagger Aldoron, and Brandish would scale to that since that is her power, and by retrospect, so would other Spriggans since they are stated to be of the same level (Before you say anything, the only reason she didn't fight Aldoron is because she is not a Dragon Slayer so Gajeel's attacks would connect). You are forgetting something, mid-high tier x792 FT Wizards < x792 Gildarts.

In the end, Word of God holds more weight than any of our opinions, and if Hiro states Gildarts is too strong for the sequel, then that is that.

 

[Hexbend]

Clear cut case of death of the author or Mashima's words have different meaning and not literally he's too strong for 100 year quest, when the DGs, Acno tier characters can one shot characters stronger then Gildarts.

Either way you look at it, Gildarts isn't anywhere near DG lvl or in the same stratum as them.

 

[aymen24]

Spoiler: .......

August did not see or notice anything.....

This scene says that August is like Serena
The difference here is that Serena is the target

This is a clear
He doesn't mean the five dragons

 

[WoWfan]

August was more taken back as to GS's defeat like everyone else. as shown later on how even another Spriggan can react to his attacks.

We already know of Acno being stronger than Gildarts, he was clearly referencing the non DG characters that he is too strong for. That is the thing, we have not seen any case of DG one shotting anyone of that scale of the FT group.

 

[Raven]

Regarding this tournament settings, It's amazing but lacking balance, For example we had Suzaku against Sting or Natsu against Gajeel and Laxus against Gray. These fights are purely onesided IMO so i have a suggestion for future tournaments.

I think distributing the characters based on their power levels into 3 divisions will do the trick. So we get 3 winners for this tournament. Instead of having 1 character who happened to be privileged to be that powerful. For example August like the last tournament or Natsu, Gildarts and Suzaku in this tournament. They simply out-scale the rest and leave no room for others to compete..

 

[Brandish μ]

Approximately 12hrs left in this tournament.

All the polls are closed. The results shall be published in the coming days. Thanks~

Yeah we have. Selene just oneshotted George. George is stronger than Suzaku. Suzaku is stronger than Natsu and Erza combined, which also makes him stronger than Gildarts.

 

[Raven]

Natsu won like he should, Happy with the final results.

 

[Ramen]

Natsu legit lost to the guy in the manga but somehow won the tournament.

Base Natsu, this is Dragon Force.

 

[Raven]

Spoiler

 

[Jean Grey]

predictable result.

better to see Natsu win the tournament than others I guess.

oh well, it's slightly better than the last tournament

Natsu legit lost to the guy in the manga but somehow won the tournament.

Ikr

he doesn't even start in DF to begin with lol (when people don't read the rules ).

I guess activation and using moves is instantaneous at the same time

Natsu Prime One Million is simply too strong for this verse.

TFW we're still arguing about the matchup even after the tournament has ended.

 

[Seven777]

Suzaku obviously should have won based on feats, but we all know the Black Knights are going down to FT, so it's prob for the best at the end of the day.
