Division 5

Squall, Zelda, Fox/Jill, and Aeris all win with ease.

Division 6

Battle 85: (1) Geralt vs. (8) Ryu Hayabusa

This one is all about guessing how strong Geralt will be. I think he's likely to be the best of the newcomers, but he's facing off against a midcarder who has beaten the likes of Jill Valentine in the past. That's not necessarily a barrier he can't naturally overcome, though. It's hard to say for sure. Hayabusa might have decayed over time as well. Geralt wins with 52%

Battle 86: (12) Pac-Man vs. (13) Riku

Not too hard. Riku consistently out-performs Pac-Man and ranks hire in the X-Stats. What's more, he's been in these contests much more often than Pac-Man ever since his first appearance in 2005 - he hasn't missed a contest since, while Pac-Man didn't make it into 2006 or 2010. Thus, if Bayonetta can beat him, she should be able to beat Pac-Man as well.

I don't think that Sans Undertale has a chance on the basis of his natural GameFAQs strength. Riku wins with 60%

Battle 87: (3) Auron vs (11) Vincent Valentine

If it weren't for 2013, this match would be incredibly up in the air. People are probably overestimating Auron's chances, because 2013 was a strange year. That being said, Vincent doesn't suddenly become a lock if we choose to ignore that contest. For instance, they tend to be within only a few spots of one another in the X-Stats. Sometimes, Auron is the one ahead.

Historically, these are both very powerful characters and whoever wins this match should be the favorite to take the division, so choosing the right one is necessary for the sake of winning the contest. I don't really believe that Vincent has suddenly declined far below other FF7 characters with whom he used to be equal. That's probably reading too much into individual results which could very well be anomalies. Auron has been a little more consistent and shouldn't be as easy to sabotage with a pic, although I doubt Allen will let that happen to Vincent again.

I really think it's a tossup. I'm inclined to pick Vincent just because it will put me ahead of a lot of other Board 8 posters if it pans out. Vincent wins with 50.1%

Battle 88: (10) Sub-Zero vs. (15) Claire Redfield

Sub-Zero should win against either opponent without much trouble, unless Ren is somehow far stronger than Yu. Needless to say, if Shulk really can beat Sub-Zero, he should win his second match with ease. I really don't think that will pan out, though, based on how weak he was before and Smash not appearing to help low-ranking characters that much. Sub-Zero wins with 60%
