It's not like we've got anything better to do while we wait.
Anyways, my point is that the final match showed the way Raiser fights when he's being at least remotely serious; he swoops around like a jet, throws fireballs, and when he lands a solid hit Issei goes flying like he got hit with Heaven Thunder Hammer. He does dodge hits rather than tanking them and relying on his regeneration, by the way. Moreover, Raiser really wasn't taking Issei very seriously until he got punched with a cross, and a few seconds after that Issei lost his balance breaker form which lured Raiser into a false sense of security.
Issei kept up in that fight mostly by virtue of the shoulder thrusters in his armor that gave him a measure of limited flight and enhanced movement speed. We lack those; the best we have presently is Monkey Leap Technique. Moreover, I wouldn't be surprised if Alex made Raiser a lot stronger and said "he's taking you seriously this time" as justification. We do have holy charms, but we had those back when Alex was saying Raiser would be a big challenge for us, so I'm not willing to count on them as the only trick in our book.
