ok we're back on

The fifth match of Group 5 is:

(6)Yuna vs (11)Slime

Summoner is a fairly common RPG archetype, but Yuna is arguably the definitive example in gaming. Her design is popular and mixes the conservative culture of Spira with a hint of Yuna's own desires to be free from her fatalistic mission. Her development in Final Fantasy X is widely praised, as she slowly opens up to the idea of having her own identity. Her romance with Tidus is iconic, of course. The tragedy of this relationship makes Yuna one of the most praised doomed maiden characters in gaming. Her muted VAing is polarizing, but a vital part of her appeal. Her redesign in FF X-2 was also very popular; it is one of the most iconic "hotter and sexier" redesigns in any media. However the game itself and Yuna's cringey dialogue in it were polarizing. Yuna is a standout female protagonist and a vital part of FFX's emotional story, and remains well-loved to this day.

What you see is what you get with Slime. It's a cute little starter enemy. Slime is likely the first random encounter in the majority of Dragon Quest games, and the easiest to defeat. A suitable introduction to the turn-based RPG battle system. Slime's simple teardrop design and ease to find in its games made it very popular, and an RPG icon. Slimes also have a gooey speech quirk, which influenced similar traits with characters such as Moogles. Slimes appeared with a variety of colors and upgraded forms such as Metal Slime, setting the standard for RPG mook enemies. Slime was also the mascot for Enix.

Yuna has been a respectable midcarder in contests, and is a bit stronger than Tidus. Slime appeared once and did ok against Lara Croft, but it is clearly near the fodder line. 65% win for Yuna.

The sixth match of Group 5 is:

(3)Kratos vs (14)Nemesis

When Kratos made his debut in God of War, he and his series found instant success. The gameplay was brutally violent and brought masculine gamer fantasies to fruition. You don't just beat your enemies - you tear them apart while raging at the world itself. And the female enemies. . . get a SPECIAL part of Kratos. Kratos' backstory and design fit this role perfectly. Kratos makes a deal with Ares when facing defeat in battle, and receives the Blades of Athena. The weapon gives him a bloodlust that ultimately leads him to slay his own wife and child. Their ashes stain his body to form his iconic bad*ss design. He rages across many games as an agent of the gods, and as an enemy of the gods. He is very popular and sympathetic despite his brutal personality, and among the most iconic anti-heroes in gaming. He even took on a fatherly role in the recent GoW4, which was widely praised.

"STAAAARS. . ." Nemesis is one of the most popular and well-known horror monsters in gaming, but it is not because he has complex motivations or sympathetic origins. He is a Tyrant BOW who was reprogrammed by Umbrella for one purpose: eliminate the STARS team. He relentlessly pursues Jill in Resident Evil 3, and shows a frightening amount of intelligence when compared to RE2's Mr. X. He can use a rocket launcher to attack from a distance, and CAN OPEN DOORS. His coat signifies how human-like he is, and is an iconic part of his design. It takes a lot to repel him and he never stops in his lumbering tracks for long. It is a relief for players at the end of RE3 when they are finally safe from him. Nemesis' rivalry with Jill remains one of the best-known and oddest in gaming.

Kratos performed like a solid midcarder in 2018 thanks to GoW4. Nemesis only appeared in the villains contest, but held up well against Ocelot. However the God of War is far more relevant today. 63% win for Kratos.

The seventh and eighth matches of Group 5 are:

(7)Capcom vs (10)Capcom
