The third match of Group 7 is

(5)Sub-Zero vs (12)Alyx Vance

While Scorpion is perhaps more iconic, Sub-Zero is very popular and influential to gaming. There are actually 2 brothers who use the name Sub-Zero in the Mortal Kombat series. The elder brother Bi-Han appeared in the first game as a brutal villain who is killed by Scorpion, who blames him for his death (prior to revival). Bi-Han would later return as the undead Noob Saibot. The younger brother Liang would take the Sub-Zero name in most other games. He is a heroic character who would make amends with Scorpion. Liang would take leadership of his tribe and adopt Frost as an apprentice. Like Scorpion, Sub-Zero's design is very simple and inspired many other ninjas in the series. His freezing attack and ice-based moves were very unique for the time and gave him a different way to play. His classic fatalities, especially the spine rip, are also iconic.

Alyx Vance was one of the most popular female game characters of the 2000s, and not without reason. She is praised as a realistic and strong woman, and one of the most competent NPC partners in any game. The player does not have to babysit her in Half-Life 2, and she does more than her share of taking out aliens. Alyx's design is not oversexualized, yet so attractive and unique that she is recognized as a sex symbol regardless. She is prominent as far as characters of Afro descent go, and noted for her wit. Despite being paired with the silent Gordon Freeman, their relationship grows over the course of the game, and Alyx becomes more of a partner then a sidekick by the end.

Sub-Zero has always been the strongest MK character in contests, and still seemed to be a high-midcarder in 2018. Alyx Vance had one appearance long ago and did horribly. 78% win for Sub-Zero.

The fourth match of Group 7 is

(4)Aerith Gainsborough vs (13)Agent 47

"Aerith dies." Likely the most infamous spoiler in gaming. Aerith is iconic just for being an important RPG partner member, a love interest for the protagonist at that, who is killed and NOT canonically revived. Her death scene is one of the most iconic and shocking scenes in any media. Aerith's design is notably conservative, but her personality is not - she is strong-willed and flirtatious, but not annoyingly so. She was also an important healer to the group, so players would absolutely miss her when she died. Her girlish and understated color scene highlights her innocence too. She is important in both the overarching plot of Final Fantasy VII, and in Cloud's struggle with his identity in the game. The fact that Aerith's death had the impact it did proves her worth as a character.

Honestly I don't know a whole lot about this guy. He is clearly popular, with many games and 2 feature films based on the Hitman series. 47 is a clone who was raised to be the perfect assassin, and he is VERY good at his job. He goes to insane lengths to stalk his targets and clean up murder scenes, and makes use of various weapons and his iconic Fiber Wire to do the job. 47's design is straight to the point and effective. He is well-dressed in a suit and has a barcode on the back of his neck (he is literally a number, nothing more). His personality is as cold as you'd expect. He does not hesitate to kill anyone, yet he is still capable of forming relationships with others on rare occasions. The duality of his questional morality mixed with his calculating assassin personality make him an iconic anti-hero in gaming.

Unsurprisingly, Hitman is not a popular series on Gfaqs at all. Final Fantasy VII definitely is, and Aerith had her best showing yet in 2018. 69% win for Aerith.
