The seventh match of Group 8 is

(7)M. Bison vs (10)Heihachi Mishima

Of course M. Bison is the most iconic villain in fighting games; he was the final boss in the original Street Fighter 2 and the archrival of several characters in the series. His influence in the series is felt in every game, as his criminal organization Shadowloo is responsible for countless vile deeds. His goal is world domination, and he has the power and ambition to make it happen. Bison has an over the top dictator-like design and personality, and can be equal parts cheesy and intimidating. He gave up his human empathy to obtain his Psycho Power, and relishes every opportunity to make use of it. Bison is a very popular villain, and his memetastic portrayals in the Street Fighter movie and animated show only help his cause. Many of Bison's special moves in gameplay are iconic, such as Psycho Crusher and Scissor Kick. His boss fights are also praised, particularly in the Alpha series. He is pure evil with a twist of humor, and one of gaming's defining villains.

Heihachi first appeared in the original Tekken, and has been in every game since. Despite being an old man, he is an unapologetic villain and the poster boy for terrible dads in gaming. He threw his young son Kazuya off a cliff to supposedly "test" him, but was ultimately defeated by Kaz. The two would continuously wrestle for control of Mishima Zaibatsu in later games. However, many of his actions have good intentions, and he will fight evils greater than him. Tekken 7 reveals his tragic past, and ends with a dramatic confrontation with Kazuya. His black and grey morality makes him an interesting character among fighters. His design is iconic thanks to his crazy hair, and he is praised for his power. The old man needs only a few hits to take down his opponent, potentially just one punch This bad*ss grandpa is likely the most well-known and popular character in the Tekken series.

Tekken is not popular on Gfaqs so Bison is the obvious choice here, but Heihachi won't do terrible. 56% win for Bison.

The eighth match of Group 8 is

(2)Ganondorf vs (15)Aigis

The king of evil and the holder of the Triforce of Power, Ganondorf is the main antagonist and final boss of most Legend of Zelda games. He first appeared as a demon-like boar called Ganon in The Legend of Zelda, and is stopped from conquering Hyrule. Referred to in ALttP, the Gerudo thief Ganondorf debuts in Ocarina of Time. He succeeds in taking over Hyrule Castle through treachery, and the game establishes the Master Sword as the counter to his dark power. His first boss fight in this game is iconic as well. He returns again and again with new plots in other games. His design screams evil, and he is just a cool character in his appearances. He has great ambition and power, but his arrogance and ego almost always doom him in the end. He is one of the most popular and praised villains in gaming, and his appearances in smash and the memetastic LoZ cartoon boost his status as well.

I may try to find a replacement for Aigis here, not sure yet. She first appeared in Persona 3, and was praised for her character development in that game. She starts out very robotic (fitting for an android), but gradually learns to be human. Her hidden past and relationship with the protagonist are key to the game's story. The player can pursue a romantic relationship with Aigis too. Aigis proved very popular, and was the protagonist of The Answer expansion of P3. Her design famously blurs the line between robot and human, with her cute face and slick gold and white color scheme. Aigis is powerful even without her Persona, with a multitude of weapons and flight abilities built in. She is one of the most complex robotic characters in gaming.

Obviously Ganondorf is winning this by a lot. However I do think Aigis could be stronger than Yu due to her appealing design. 74% win for Ganondorf.
