The fifth match of Group 8 is

(6)Morrigan Aensland vs (11)Ivy Valentine

You only need to look at Morrigan to know why she's popular; she is sexy as h*ll. Morrigan's sleak and sexy design, alluring face and seductive personality make the succubus a breakout fan favorite. She surpassed the popularity of her own series and became a Capcom and gaming icon; appearing in countless crossover games. She is a defining sex symbol of the 90s too. Morrigan has a bit of an immature streak despite her looks, but ultimately accepts her responsibilities as the successor to her family's demon world throne. Her relationship with her "sister" Lilith is also a bit suggestive, to say the least. Her fighting style and moveset in Darkstalkers is also iconic. She has a unique manner of midair movement which can be taken advantage of with moves such as Shell Kick. Morrigan is best known for her Soul Fist projectile, which can be oppressively spammed in conjunction with certain super moves.

Ivy is one of the best-known sex symbols in gaming, although she is not above criticism. Some say she is too sexualized and that her costume is too skimpy - most fans do not mind. Ivy's design leaves VERY little to the imagination, and her exotic white hair and British accent are also appealing. Her sharp tongue and rough demeanor combined with her signature whipblade weapon give her the appearance of a dominatrix, which naturally is another popular aspect of Ivy. Despite that, Ivy is a celibate lone wolf who considers her bloodline cursed, and is determined to defeat her father - the mad pirate Cervantes. She is a very sexualized yet unattainable crush for many Soul Calibur fans. Her moveset in the games is very unique, making use of her weapon;s superior range in both sword and whip states. She is a very difficult yet satisfying character to use.

I think that Morrigan has likely lost strength since 2013, but she still likely wins this. Gfaqs doesn't really care about 3D fighting games in general. 65% win for Morrigan.

The sixth match of Group 8 is

(3)Yoshi vs (14)The Boss

Yoshi is just really cute. His simple design effortlessly stands out and appeals to fans. He is one of the most popular and cutest characters in gaming. Yoshi first appeared in Super Mario World and brought a lot of unique elements to platformers of the time. He could stomp on enemies, eat items and enemies alike with his long tongue, and gain different abilities (and colors) by eating Koopa shells. And Mario could jump off Yoshi's back to save himself; a sacrifice that would be made commonly by players. Yoshi is one of the signature sidekicks in gaming, and a loyal partner to Mario. Yoshi has had many games of his own, including Yoshi's Island and Story, which introduced his signature flutter jump and ground pound abilities. His constant presence in Mario spinoffs and smash helped his iconic status.

The Boss was only featured as a major character in Metal Gear Solid 3, but made a huge impact in that game. She is a tough soldier who was a WWII hero, and supposedly betrayed the U.S. for the Soviets. She is presented without a hint of sexualization - rare for major female character in gaming. She is attractive, but that is not really important. She is a pure bad*ss who relies on nothing but her own strength and determination to accomplish her goals. The Boss' role in the game and backstory are praised as emotional and complex. And her final showdown with Naked Snake is one of the most iconic moments in gaming. She is a character who is still loved to this day, and her legacy would be important in later Metal Gear games.

Obviously Yoshi is a lot stronger here, but The Boss definitely has a fanbase on Gfaqs. She avoids a doubling I think - 66% win for Yoshi.
