Division 8 Match 7
Ellie vs. KOS-MOS

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5156-character-battle-ix-division-2-round-1-kos-mos-vs-dunban-vs

I really want to take Ellie here. KOS-MOS has to stop being voted for eventually, right? The Last of Us is significantly stronger than any Xenosaga game and everyone likes Ellie. No one actually cares about KOS-MOS. She's like Ryu Hayabusa except replace 'being a cool ninja' with 'being a hot robot' and...okay that's been working out well for Hayabusa so far but the buck has to stop somewhere. GameFAQs wouldn't vote a random robot over an actually really good character from a game they clearly appreciate simply because the robot has tits, right?

Result:
Ellie - 43%
KOS-MOS - 57%

KOS-MOS has an 85% chance of winning

Division 8 Match 8
Aqua vs. Quiet


https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4217-best-of-2010-game-of-the-year
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7069-whats-your-all-time-favorite-5-game

Oh hey, a B8 Special character that is actually going to win!

Quiet should be the favorite here, and would be on any other site. MGS5 was a much bigger game than Kingdom Hearts: Another Portable Spinoff. The thing is, MGS5 wasn't received well on GameFAQs. At all. It did poorly in the 2015 Games Contest and that other poll I linked to is a really bad look as well. The game's writing and characterization were especially criticized and Quiet wasn't immune to that. And she's just...not that well-liked in the first place? I never once got the impression that she had remotely as many fans as any of the other MGS characters that have gotten into these contests, not even Otacon. I'm honestly surprised she got in at all.

Aqua would have been really weak back when her game first came out, but I think enough time has passed for the Kingdom Hearts fanbase to learn about her existence even without having had to play the game, especially since it seems like she'll be an important part of the story moving forward. So instead of really weak, she'll just be...weak. That's enough for me to take her over Quiet, who I have absolutely zero confidence in to win this match on her own merits rather than Aqua being bad.

Result:
Aqua - 56%
Quiet - 44%

Aqua has a 75% chance of winning
