Cloud Strife, Vivi Ornitier, Liquid Snake, Zeratul and Lady Maria have challenged Kazuma Kiryu, Leon Kennedy, Mega Man, Rika Furude and Batman to a fight! Location of the fight: hadow Moses Island - The bombed out, ruined site of Liquid's past ambitions, as seen in Metal Gear Solid 4. All enemies have been cleared out, and REX's husk is not present. Attackers will begin at the snowfield, while defenders will begin at REX's resting place. Which side will win?

Guidelines

-The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment.
-The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of executing a prearranged battle plan.
-Unless stated otherwise, characters have access to their full arsenal of abilities and equipment. They may not always work at full power, however (e.g. a petrifying spell may have only a partial hindering effect not seen in gameplay or even fail outright against sufficiently powerful mercenaries). Use your own discretion.
-No mercenary can ever start in a location where they would die instantly, destroy the arena merely by existing in it, or end up ringed out of the terrain before abilities. If there's no room within a terrain to fit them, the terrain will stretch out until there's at least one yard of available, moving, safe space. Attacks may not damage the terrain enough to cause automatic deaths or ring-outs, save with a concerted effort.
-There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Rules for Voting

-Bold your votes.
-You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios.
-Leaders cannot vote for their own teams, but they are free to argue their case.
-If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish.
-This match will end in 24 hours.

Rika Furude is as she appears throughout Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. She has no equipment other than her school uniform and a mop, and is pretty much exactly as terrible at fighting as you would expect a ten year old girl to be. When Rika dies in a match, she will go back in time, and though she will retain her memories, no other mercenaries will under any circumstances. However, this power is limited: Rika will first restart the match entirely, then thirty seconds into the second loop, then a minute after that into the third (in other words, 90 seconds into the match), and so on. If the time Rika would rewind to is after her death, then she will be unable to go back and the match will proceed as normal. The rest of Rika's team will not be aware of any of this.

Leon Kennedy is as he appears in the Resident Evil series, including canonical supplementary media. He comes into battle with his two Wing Shooter pistols, his knife, a Lightning Hawk magnum, a handful of grenades and the Chicago Typewriter, all fully upgraded. He has been put into a Void Prison by Zeratul for the first 15 seconds of battle, rendering him immune to all damage and unable to act.

Kazuma Kiryu is as he appears in the Yakuza series, at the peak of his fighting prowess. He comes into battle equipped with three bottles of Staminan Royale, the Ama-no-Murakumo blade, Extremely Sturdy Brass Knuckles, a 9mm handgun with unlimited ammo, the Transcendent Body Armor and a motorcycle. He may use any of his fighting styles, Heat Actions and techniques as he sees fit, and starts the battle with full Heat, which will not drain unless used. He has completely forgotten his own past and become convinced that he is actually Jim Raynor from the Starcraft series. He will try to act and fight in battle as Raynor would, coloured through the lens of his own natural personality. If he lacks the capability to fight as Raynor at all (e.g. a gunman lacking the capacity to cast magic like a wizard would) he will gain comparable techniques to his object of idolization, though how powerful and skilful these techniques will be past a basic level is up to voter interpretation and he will have access to none of Raynor's equipment.

Mega Man is as he appears across the Mega Man series. He has access to his Mega Buster, his Magnet Beam, his dog Rush (and various Rush modes), the Double Gear system and all his weapons from the mainline Mega Man series, though Gravity Hold and Centaur Flash will share an energy pool and Flash Stopper will only have its lore effects and not stop time in any way. He also has access to his moveset from the Marvel vs Capcom series, hyper combos included, as well as a variety of weapons based on his defeated foes, allowing him to use Raiden's Murasama Blade and King K. Rool's Crownarang. If Mega Man's entire team is defeated, he will automatically revive at full health after his last teammate has fallen, including himself. His body will have vanished, and he will launch an automatic sneak attack on whatever remains of the enemy team the moment that they would have normally won. He will only have five minutes left to live, at which point he will mysteriously keel over, dead and unable to be revived in any way, shape or form. he and his team will be aware of their impending demise, however, and factor it into their battle plans.

Batman is as he appears in the Arkham game series, at the peak of his abilities. He has full access to all of his gadgets and upgrades and may call upon the fully upgraded Batmobile for assistance, but none of his other assets are available. Feats from comics, even those connected to the Arkham series, are not valid. He is aware he is incapable of permanently killing anyone in this fight. He may teleport to any point of the terrain at will. However, quantum teleportation is fussy, so it will only work if no sentient being is perceiving him when he attempts to do it.

~VS~

Liquid Snake is as he appears in Metal Gear Solid, piloting Metal Gear REX from the nearest convenient location to his team's starting point. He may not leave the vehicle, and is considered defeated if it is destroyed.

Cloud Strife is as he appears in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and continuations, with full access to all his moves and Limit Breaks seen therein. He has access to all elemental magic materia, Deadly Dodge, Parry, Steadfast Block, Healing, Barrier, Subversion, Time, Elemental (linked to Lightning), Assess, Refocus and Bahamut, all fully mastered.

Zeratul is as he appears in the Starcraft series and Heroes of the Storm with all of his skills except Void Prison. During combat, his cloaking works as it does in HotS, invisible until either he attacks or is damaged, at which point it takes a few seconds of non-action to reactivate.

Vivi Ornitier is as he appears in Final Fantasy 9, equipped with his ultimate endgame equipment and his full complement of passive abilities, minus all auto abilities except for Auto-Reflect (which he may dismiss at will but not reapply). He has access to all of his spells save Death, may apply Element Null as he sees fit and may perform Sword Magic combos with other allies as appropriate. Doomsday will not necessarily hit all enemies nor allies automatically.

Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower is as she appears in her fight in Bloodborne: The Old Hunters. She may use any attacks from any of her boss stages as she sees fit.
