I personally would like a balanced fight for once. All of the fights since I-don't-remember-when have had two people of unequal power trading blows and randomly dealing heavy hits when least expected--or worse, when completely expected. You may argue that we've seen plenty of those, but when has it ever happened? The whole Hueco Mundo and Fake Karakura town arc was basically "push this button; enemy destroyed". Kenpachi: needed to use two hands. Deus ex machina. Byakuya: crush Zommari completely and utterly like he's nothing. Shunsui: play a game with your opponent. Defeat him without using your full strength. And of course, Ichigo: crush your opponent's full-power hado 90 with your hado 91: Frickin' left hand and then destroy him completely and utterly with your strongest moves. I want to see more fights where things are obviously somewhat equally matched, somewhat like with the fight between Ulquiorra and Hollow Ichigo in the beginning of Hell Chapter and, to a certain extent, in the anime. The action in that fight was amazing; the two were trading blows pretty well, and while Ichigo did end up dealing the finishing blow in both instances, the whole thing was exciting to watch since Ulquiorra was actually able to recover and strike back in several instances. A fight of back and forth ownage is too old now, and I really want to see people actually try hard to even wound their opponent while stopping said opponent from wounding them, and the opponent doing the same thing. You might think that everyone's been doing that, but have they really? Think on that for awhile.
