The first match of Group 4 is:

(1)Megaman vs (16)Kanji Tatsumi

It's. . . freaking Megaman I guess. He's been in tons of games and is one of the most popular protagonists in gaming. His simple design is standard for the late 80s when he came out, but there is more to the blue bomber than a cute face. His ability to steal enemy's weapons was groundbreaking at the time, and the run-and-gun gameplay of the series is iconic. Not to mention the slide, charge shot and unique boss arenas. The Megaman series was influential for hundreds of games, including its own spinoffs. Despite some recent gaffs with the series from Capcom, Megaman's legacy and iconic status stands strong to this day. Smash helps too.

Disclaimer - Kanji is on the shortlist to be cut from the bracket. But I felt it was important to include him because of how long it really took gaming to treat LGBT characters and issues seriously. It is not stated what Kanji's inclination is, but the questions he asks himself and his struggle to be comfortable in his own skin are praised, but also scrutinized. It is also representative of Persona 4's overarching theme of being true to yourself. He is probably the most universally liked P4 character for his development, as well as the humor he brings to the game. The discrepancy between his tough guy appearance and his overreactive character and uncommon interests leads to many funny situations, but he also has moments where he shows his kindness and heart to others.

Obviously Megaman is going to win by a lot here. Its hard to get a read on Kanji, but I think he would be close to Narukami in strength. 77% win for Megaman.

The second match of Group 4 is:

(8)Tidus vs (9)Wario

AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes the laugh meme is pretty popular and helps keep Tidus relevant, along with Dissidia. While his design is criticized by some, it wholly establishes what kind of character Tidus is. He is much more upbeat than most RPG protagonists, despite dealing with world destroying monsters and his pretty substantial load of personal issues. One of which being that his good old dad Jecht is said world destroying monster. It is one of the most iconic father-son rivalries in gaming. Also his romance with Yuna is highly praised, due to the close connection the two share and the emotional moments at the end of the game. It might be one of the most influential romances in gaming. Tidus is very unique among RPG protagonists, which makes him very memorable.

Wario is kind of the ultimate troll character. There are dozens of memes associated with him, and his hilariously self-centered character along with the frequent physical misfortune that befalls him leads to many funny moments in his games. While his design looks like a bad ripoff of Mario, Wario quickly became popular in his own right and transformed the Mario Land series into Wario Land. His gameplay quirk of gaining powers based on taking hits from enemies is an iconic element of his platformer games. Wario's games in general are unique just for starring a greedy anti-hero like him. The Warioware series is also popular with titles on almost every Nintendo system, and retains the same humor. Wario is also playable in nearly every Mario spin-off game and is a popular choice mainly due to his VAing.

This is a tough one. Nintendo in general has gained strength and Tidus actually did pretty well against a suddenly near-elite level DK. But I think Wario is far enough down the Nintendo pecking order that Tidus is able to take this. 51% win for Tidus.

The third and fourth matches of Group 4 are:

(5)Konami vs (12)Did not originate in a game
