Sometimes the obvious pick is too obvious to not pick

The third match of Group 3 is:

(5)Sora vs (12)Guybrush Threepwood

Sora is the protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series, and looks like it. His appearance is the perfect fusion of Final Fantasy and classic Disney character design, and very well-received. His series is extremely popular among fans, even some that would otherwise never play RPGs. The series gameplay also redefined the standards for action RPGs. Sora himself is praised for his idealism and his development throughout the series. He goes from an unskilled kid to a seasoned fighter, but does not waver in his ideals and conviction. His voice acting is also an iconic part of what makes Sora one of the most popular protagonists in gaming.

While classic adventure games are far from a mainstream genre nowadays, they were very popular in the 90s. Few characters from those games are recognized today, but Guybrush is one who still endures today. His design is hardly intimidating, but that's the point. He is a pirate that is not a born fighter, but he has to learn and get by with his wit and pure luck in other cases. Nonetheless he is very popular among classic gamers, and utters a lot of iconic lines over the course of the Monkey Island series. His rivalry with LeChuck and romance with Elaine are praised as well, and contribute to a lot of the series' trademark humor.

I shouldn't have to say anything about Guybrush in contests: he is the iconic loser who keeps getting into contests only to be crushed year after year. Sora had a disappointing 2018, but Guybrush won't threaten him. 75% win for Sora.

The fourth match of Group 3 is:

(4)Tifa Lockhart vs (13)Captain Falcon

Tifa may not have had the influence and cool factor of Sephiroth, but she has stayed relevant despite having few major game roles since FF7. The main reason might be that male fans REALLY like her. She was the first gaming crush for many young players, and she gets massive amounts of. . . fanwork to this day. She's very attractive and her design makes leaves little of her figure to the imagination. But the fact that she's a hand to hand fighter and has RED EYES adds an element of danger. She is very much able to handle herself in bad situations, and her confident, but kind and motherly personality endears her to both genders of fans. Her complicated romance with Cloud is iconic, and Tifa's mental toughness is a big part of why it can work. Tifa is argubly THE lady of RPGs.

FALCON PUNCH! There are a lot of people who know nothing more than that about Captain Falcon, and well, its hard to say he would be relevant today without smash. The F-Zero series is effectively dead, but the games were popular and influential in the racing genre. Falcon wasn't a huge part of their success, but he was recognizable as the cool lead character. His appearance in smash catapulted his popularity to new heights. His bad*ss cool guy design was very well-received, and his moveset even more so. He gave rise to countless memes, and is one of the most popular characters in smash to this day. Falcon is a prime example of a character who is simply cool personified.

Falcon has been a decent midcarder in contests, but Tifa has risen to Nobel Nine levels as of 2018. Solid 63% win for Tifa.

The fifth and sixth matches of Group 3 are:

(6)Tecmo vs (11)Midway Games

and (3)Capcom vs (14)Origin Systems
