[Random Consonant]

Godlike

Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears)
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV)
 
Heavy

Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile)

Middle

Stocke (Radiant Historia) vs Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3) - Oh hey, a match Stocke wins without needing to healstall, this feels rarer than it perhaps should be.
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII)
Odessa Silverberg (Suikoden) vs Edward (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) - The possibly undernommed vs. the very likely overnommed, any reasonable interpretation should give this to Odessa, I would think.

Light

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default)
Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV)
Genis Sage (Tales of Symphonia) vs Aguro (Lufia & The Fortress of Doom) - Genis needs to be seen as both 2HKOing and being fast enough with anything worth a damn to do so first, and when in doubt, make judgement calls against ToS attack magic.
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF)

[Dark Holy Elf]

Godlike

Elyon (Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) vs Ashera (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn): Elyon doesn't have MT that I can recall, while Ashera does.
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears): Citan does get a turn, but he's not so damaging that he could OHKO even if all his attacks landed (which they won't).
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose): Oh wow, someone actually spoils Lady. Sealed Throne steals all her stock, which leaves her as merely a decent Godlike, not an amazing one. Meanwhile Orgulla now has two boost gauges to do her ice sword bullshit with.
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV): 25% fire resistance isn't cutting it, Killer.
 
Heavy

Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria): Alicia doesn't limit-dodge well, and she triggers counters. Harken even resists light.
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII): Statusblocker... fight! Fang resists instant death obviously. Fog -> Pain is a 2-turn win for Fang, now (Geno doesn't have a 2HKO except maaaybe with Geno Flash x2 which will be sealed by Fog), so Geno has to block silence. But this drops his speed so Fang goes first and has 2HKO damage. Geno can Boost to avoid the 2HKO but he won't OHKO with his one turn thereafter.
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile): 2HKOs first.

Middle

Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII): Heal-locks... though a first-turn Osmose could stave that off maybe? If it does, Vivi wins, since he can heal until trance (and if Red stalls then Vivi goes for status). Anyway, Red just under 60% per swing here, so Osmose needs to cut current MP by a third. Does it? Mm... scaling Osmose against average FF9 PC MP, looks like not quite. Really close!
Odessa Silverberg (Suikoden) vs Edward (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn): Probably.

Light

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default): White Mage is a decent dueller against people who can't heal and who don't have great durability.
Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV): Better slugger.
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF): Power Seal does its thing. Labby wishes XF defences were more potent so I could hype her reducing it to turn 3.

[Pyro]

Godlike

Elyon (Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) vs Ashera (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) damage is enough here.
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears) no ohko
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose) I suppose Orgulla
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV) pc slayer vs boss slugger.
 
Heavy

Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria)
Lilka Eleniak (Wild ARMs 2) vs Galcian (Skies of Arcadia) too fast. Reflect answers eternum and attempts to dispel are a waste of his turn.
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII)
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile) invincible aura and bonesplitter axe let him win in spite of being 2hkod

Middle

Stocke (Radiant Historia) vs Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3) fire check
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII) I guess he can win with Osmose to cut into damage?
Odessa Silverberg (Suikoden) vs Edward (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)
Rauny Vinzalf (Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen) vs Ryudo (Grandia II)

Light

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default)
Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV)
Genis Sage (Tales of Symphonia) vs Aguro (Lufia & The Fortress of Doom)
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF)

[Dhyerwolf]

Godlike

Elyon (Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) vs Ashera (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears)
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose)
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV)
 
Good week for my Godlike noms! (Until they start running into Yuna)

Heavy

Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria)
Lilka Eleniak (Wild ARMs 2) vs Galcian (Skies of Arcadia)
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII)- Does Geno not ignore Death resistance?
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile)- Huh, I guess Pyro's argument makes sense

Middle

Stocke (Radiant Historia) vs Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3)
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII)- Hmm, MP damage scaling questions.
Odessa Silverberg (Suikoden) vs Edward (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)
Rauny Vinzalf (Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen) vs Ryudo (Grandia II)- Even if she 3HKOs, Ryudo does too

Light

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default)
Genis Sage (Tales of Symphonia) vs Aguro (Lufia & The Fortress of Doom)
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF)

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears) - People letting Yuna get a turn: the movie.
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose) - You know, without Sealed Throne I actually would have to think about this match.
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV) - That 25% fire res ain't cutting it, no.
 
Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria) - Oh wow, Alicia so doesn't have the right damage type for this.
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII) - ID resistance to the rescue. Geno wishes Geno Boost was damage x2.
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile) - Faster. Stronger. More aggressive.

Stocke (Radiant Historia) vs Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3) - A toddler with a matchstick beats the crap out of Mitsuru. G-Fire is more than slightly better than that.
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII) - Nice, a match where Osmose matters. Too bad it ain't enough.
Rauny Vinzalf (Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen) vs Ryudo (Grandia II) - I suppose? I don't think I even see Ryudo's techs as unevadable against evasion as comprehensive as OB's.

Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV) - I guess?
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF) - Damn ye black heart, Marivel.

[superaielman]

Godlike

Elyon (Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) vs Ashera (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears)- Water Eater  makes Citan very, very sad on top of his other issues here.
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose)
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV)
 
Heavy

Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria)- WA1o
Lilka Eleniak (Wild ARMs 2) vs Galcian (Skies of Arcadia)- Galcian's dispel having bad damage is enough here offhand.
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII)- Don't think I see Geno Whirl as resistable, have to block it to win.
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile)- Invincible Aura hype? I'm missing something here.

Middle

Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII)- I take FF7 against a lower average due to limit scaling, which is probably enough.
Odessa Silverberg (Suikoden) vs Edward (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)- Wrath is a serious problem. Odessa can't really play with sleep, it could wear off at the wrong time and each Edward turn has the risk of something seriously ugly coming up... but... no reason she can't just 2HKO him with a physical+Shredding. Yeah that should work. Suck less at taking hits Edward.
Rauny Vinzalf (Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen) vs Ryudo (Grandia II)- Should 2HKO so this is easy enough. Even if she doesn't, faster 3HKO works.

Light

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default)- Eh sure, Leo's bad.
Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV)- Ace is boring but competent.
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF)

[Dark Holy Elf]

Why would Geno Whirl ignore resistance? SMRPG doesn't have status resistance to ignore. I'm willing to grant a "resistance-ignoring" flag to things like Tir's Deadly Fingertips, where literally every random in the game is vulnerable, but plenty of randoms in SMRPG immune Geno Whirl.

Re Invincible Aura, my understanding is that it gets better if you grind proficiencies until it's maxed (which Dhyer's stat thread assumed for everything but Time Gate), but on my file at least, it was nowhere near that good.

[Pyro]

How much grinding did it take?

Super: Galcian's dispel 'damage' is pathetic. ~2% PCHP maybe. Lilka's Mdef (WA2 DEFENSIVE STAT HYPE) probably cuts that down to nothing if you take it subtractively.

As is, she runs circles around him so that probably won't be a problem even so.

[SnowFire]

Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears)
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose)
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV)
 
Heavy

Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria)
WAo Harken is a bad Middle IIRC.
Lilka Eleniak (Wild ARMs 2) vs Galcian (Skies of Arcadia)
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile)
I guess I'm okay with grinding up Invincible Aura.

Middle

Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII)
Odessa Silverberg (Suikoden) vs Edward (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)
I don't remember Odessa's stats or a good scaling well enough.
Rauny Vinzalf (Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen) vs Ryudo (Grandia II)

Light

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default)
Well, you do have to see WM as being able to close to melee to avoid counters...  but sure.
Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV)
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF)

[OblivionKnight]

Godlike

Elyon (Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) vs Ashera (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) - Hah.  Not bad, but still relatively easy.  Karma Circle I'd see hitting a number of the barriers, so that helps. 
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears) - If only Citan could punch her to death...
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose) - Even without the stock busting, this would probably go Orgulla's way
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV) - More like RubiCAN
 
Heavy

Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria) - Die shitty Valkyrie!
Lilka Eleniak (Wild ARMs 2) vs Galcian (Skies of Arcadia) - Mmmm...WA2 skills didn't provide immunity, right?  If they did, I think I'd see Lilka winning this?  Possibly?  Wait...no.  Damage with dispel, nevermind
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII) - Where be our FF13 stats, yo
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile) - I love Lucian, he's Godlike from the cast the way I view him (interp splits are awesome, seriously - I like the variance of views), but Immortal Aura...is probably enough.

Middle

Stocke (Radiant Historia) vs Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3) - FIRE DAMAGE
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII) - LIMIT
Odessa Silverberg (Suikoden) vs Edward (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) - Loves that temp thing
Rauny Vinzalf (Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen) vs Ryudo (Grandia II) - I guess

Light

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default) - Yes
Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV) - LIGHT CHAMP
Genis Sage (Tales of Symphonia) vs Aguro (Lufia & The Fortress of Doom) - Faster, otherwise equal
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF) - LIGHT RUNNER-UP

[DragonKnight Zero]

Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII)  Flavor vote: Equip Octagon Rod and highest evade armband, stall by casting Water on self until evasion kicks in, cast Osmose.  Repeat until Red is neutered enough to scrape some turns for status havoc, poison if Red goes for a Safety Bit.  Gutcheck says that Red overwhelms with superior speed or Vivi runs out of MP but alternate interps are fun.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Where be our FF13 stats, yo

The wiki ate them. (They're still there, but you can only see them via View Source and that's annoying.)

[Cmdr_King]

Godlike

Elyon (Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) vs Ashera (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears)
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose)- Man, I know Orgulla's like the only XS2 boss to get her combos off normally, but that's still several charge turns usually.  Turn 2?  Geez.
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV)
 
Heavy

Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria)
Lilka Eleniak (Wild ARMs 2) vs Galcian (Skies of Arcadia)
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII)- I guess?  Wish I remembered what any of Saboteur's stuff did.
Justin (Grandia) vs Lucian (Valkyrie Profile)

Stocke (Radiant Historia) vs Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3)
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII)

Leonardo (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) vs White Mage (Bravely Default)
Ace (Suikoden III) vs Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV)
Genis Sage (Tales of Symphonia) vs Aguro (Lufia & The Fortress of Doom)- No vote
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF)

[Tide]

Godlike
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Citan Uzuki (Xenogears) - Maybe it Citan was Ragu!Citan. As is, *crunch*
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Orgulla (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose) -  Y'know, I'm not sure if the Stock spoiling is as decisive since the Unbral can technically counter with ZEAL STEAL. The kicker for me though is that Orgulla probably has the durability to eat a Lady D-Combo. On the other hand, I'm not sure Lady can eat a full Orgulla combo and Orgulla is faster.
Killer (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV) - Killer's 25% Fire Res reaaaaaaaally doesn't do much. He either needs more durability or a higher elemental resistance.
 
Heavy
Lady Harken (Wild ARMs) vs Alicia (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria) - Uh...this is ugly. Harken is faster, more evasive and Alicia has no way to break past Maximum Risk. Harken even *halves* Light because y'know, the former wasn't enough.
Geno (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) vs Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII) - ID Resist, then win in the ensuing slugfest. Geno Boost makes this decent though.

Middle
Stocke (Radiant Historia) vs Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3) - Spams G-Fire and stun locks.
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) vs Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII) - I didn't even think of Osmose >_>. Pretty sure Red wins the slugfest otherwise.

Light
Marivel Armitage (Wild ARMs 2) vs Labyrinthia Wordsworth (Wild ARMs XF) - Labby PLZ
