Jenna Angel (Digital Devil Saga) vs Belial (Wild ARMs 4) - Jenna's MT is horrible, horrible trash and Distortion walls Bhairava otherwise. Since Belial OHKOs every single form clean, she has no problem giving only a single turn to each form. Jenna even has a case to 3HKO Belial, but I'm not really sold on that.
Yuna (Final Fantasy X) vs Luca Blight (Suikoden II) - Yuna can just forfeit Aeons here: immunes Fire, evade+Protect make physicals fail, outstall cleanly.
Katrina Liane Elesius (Wild ARMs XF) vs Ghaleon (Lunar: Silver Star) - Kneejerk is the speed edge just creeps into madness late in the fight.
Rika (Phantasy Star IV) vs Ted (Suikoden IV) - Faster.
Phyress (Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria) vs Levin Brenton (Wild ARMs XF) - Levin against someone who can't dodge very well nor counter at all.
Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy V) vs Velna (Legaia 2: Duel Saga) - Gilgy can't even kill Velna's Origin. That's awful.
Demi (Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millenium) vs Emelia (SaGa Frontier) - Okay. Emelia 2HKOs Demi with crit+non-crit on BoundShot, which is a bad start for Demi. To make matters worse, she should have a 4-3 at worst on Demi (assuming 25% or possibly even 20% speed per SD, at least. HOWEVER, Emelia can even afford to 5-4, since she outslugs Demi fairly flat at base) and is faster than her even -before QuickDraw-. Demi can hope for openings when Emelia has to reload, since that butchers her speed pretty bad, but Demi herself only 3HKOs Emelia. Spamming Stasis Ball may also be an option on reloading turns, but Demi has trouble even -getting- to a reload turn alive. Trying that anywhere else is a waste of time, PS4 sleep-locks just don't work out too well when your opponent is faster. Due to being a RNG-reliant match and a degree of resource disparity (Emelia has 16 BoundShots before running out of WP, which Demi can theoretically outheal), Demi -does- have a shot, but the odds honestly feel kinda stacked against her, especially when the crit odds on BoundShot are so high.
Mesarthim (SaGa Frontier) vs Lawfer (Valkyrie Profile) - Lawfer even -can- block Petrify, but he just can't deal with HideRune at all. Mes can even afford to open with VitalityRune (unlike what happened with Cthulhu) to shut this down entirely.
Mystic Knight (Final Fantasy V) vs Lilly Pendragon (Suikoden III) - Due to Mystic Knight's own evade, even Lilly's 3HKO might come to question depending on her luck, and, as NEB said, she only needs one hit to land once Break Sword's up.
Flay Gunnar (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis) vs The King of Awesome (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) - Fear just isn't enough. I doubt Bowser even 2HKOs post-Fear due to Last Stand anyway.
Brad Evans (Wild ARMs 2) vs Bronzong (Pokémon) - Sleep, Confuse Ray, Steel typing, you name it.
Yosuke Hanamura (Persona 4) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) - This is just about as bad as Miriel vs. Ana, Euthanasia has 100% odds of completely crippling Yosuke here. Tentarafoo's his only chance and that's what, turn four? Not really panning out, especially when he needs at least four turns (likely more due to Auto-Taru running out!) to put down Ana after it connects and P4 confuse only lasts three turns.
Emma Hetfield (Wild ARMs Alter Code F) vs Ilyana (Fire Emblem Series) - EDIT: Emma actually gets 5-4'd by average, which gives her a degree of maneuvering. On the other hand, I really doubt Emma can do much of anything still when she gets 2HKOed by both Elthunder and forged Fire: she can't stave off a 3HKO ever, so at best she enters a Reset lock which inevitably ends in Emma eating a crit and dying after about half an hour of Tim Curry pelvic thrusts. Healing might be an option, but it honestly isn't very useful - it's only 61% of Emma's HP, which barely outdoes a single Ilyana swipe. Anti-Magic Zone could be an option, but that ALSO hurts the healing because it runs off MAG! Back to square one. So yeah, this is pretty amazing (and I really hope FE10 Ilyana isn't actually -worse- than FE9).
Irenes (Chrono Cross) vs Krin (Suikoden) - Krin actually 3HKOs Irenes on average (he 4HKOs average pretty solidly and the mermaid's actually sorta frail, 0.89 pdur whereabouts) and 3-2s. She even -should- 2HKO him, but needs techs to do it and recharge times likely say she doesn't avoid the 3-2 even post-Flu, whatever respect you give it.
Mist (Fire Emblem Series) vs Draggy (Chrono Cross) - Even though Draggy damage sucks and his techs are MAGICAL, I have to think Mist9 doesn't complete the three-rounding in time (she 6HKOs him, and I'm already assuming she gets counters in a tossed bone to her). Her mdur isn't -that- good and her pdur is just way too awful.
Melody Vilente (Wild ARMs 3) vs Archer (Final Fantasy Tactics) - Yeah, I think I'll go with the flow here. Don't think Aegis deserves any respect against Eliminate Scanner, and charging prostrats not only null any evasion argument Archer may have, but butcher his durability if he lets Melody get cracks at him while loading up damage. And I -also- see poison blocking hurting that damage anyway.
