I don't think Sonya or Kitana would be that much weaker than Scorpion. And Hayabusa seemed to have lost some strength as of 2018.

The seventh match of Group 3 is:

(7)Mewtwo vs (10)Albert Wesker

In the original RBY Mewtwo was ultimate boss of the game. You had to beat the E4 before you had the right to take on and capture Mewtwo. It was the most powerful Pokemon available in Gen1, and had a backstory suitable for his role. It was created by scientists to be the most powerful Pokemon ever. . . and they succeeded. Its alien-like design made it stand out from every other Pokemon in Gen1, and made Mewtwo very popular. Mewtwo's leading role in 2 Pokemon movies were also received well, and particular praise was given to Mewtwo's development in the first movie. Mewtwo is an iconic example of a super-powered creation that never should have come to be, but regardless must find its own purpose in the world.

Its no secret now that Wesker is a villain. His betrayal in Resident Evil 1 is iconic, as well as his karmaic apparent death. However, his death only served to destroy his humanity. Due to an experimental virus he gained superhuman abilities, which he put to use in furthering his plans throughout appearances in several RE games. He had his hands in many schemes involving B.O.W. development, and his use of threats and cunning to get what he wanted was well-received. As the main villain in RE5, he showed off his cool new look and his plan for global domination. Wesker was praised for his charisma and stellar VAing, as well his vicious use of his powers to accomplish his goals. He is perhaps one of the best scheming villains in games.

Poor Wesker just never gets a fair shake in contests, and this match is no different. Mewtwo is just a bit too strong for Wesker to take on. Mewtwo wins with 58%

The eighth match of Group 3 is:

(2)Bowser vs (15)Barret Wallace

Its freaking Bowser - the most popular villain in gaming. He looks bad*ss, breathes fire and has spikes on his shell. No matter how many times he loses to Mario he always comes back for more, and he does it with style and charisma. And the occasional flop, but his humorous failures are praised as well. He has had many iconic fights with Mario over the years, and even teams up with him on occasion. He plays a big role in most Mario games, and there are a lot of them. Bowser defined the villain role in gaming, and finds new ways to do bad with every appearance.

There are suprisingly few black video game characters that are not a token option in a multiplayer game, and most of them do not have a lot of plot relevance. That is not the case for Barret. Final Fantasy VII starts with Cloud working with Barret on an AVALANCHE mission, and Barret remains an important character throughout the entire game. He plays the role of leader to the group, and his fatherly relationship with Marlene is well-received. His design is criticized by some for being a stereotype, and his explative-heavy dialogue is polarizing. But said design and voice tells the story of the things he has been through. He never loses his determination to do right, even after suffering through countless misfortunes and loss in his life. And his dialogue is funny, come on. Oh and he has a gun arm. Can't forget that.

Barret is a decent midcarder in contests, but Bowser is a beast and has only gotten stronger. 65% win for Bowser.
