Ghaleon (Lunar: Silver Star) vs Claude Kenny (Star Ocean: The Second Story)- Noooooooooooope. E: Even if Claude's healing was full run out of MP long before killing Ghaleon.
Magus (Chrono Trigger) vs Elincia (Fire Emblem Series)- Also no unless someone wants to argue that he should be held to PC Magus.
Jenna Angel (Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga) vs Monk (Bravely Default)- no/3.

Heavy

Edgar Roni Fatima (Final Fantasy VI) vs Spell Fencer (Bravely Default)- Kneejerk of Edgar being faster+having 100% status.
Asellus (SaGa Frontier) vs Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII)- Possibly three divisions apart here. Ugly.
Tengaar (Suikoden Series) vs Justin (Grandia)- Faster. Tengaar gets a second L4 by endgame which removes any doubt.

Middle

Cleo (Suikoden) vs Nelis (Suikoden V)- Fire defense. Not that it matters to me persay but yeah. Cleo not good.
Ross (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones) vs White Wizard (Final Fantasy)- I don't think Ross 2HKOs right off the bat and he needs to do so.
Melody Vilente (Wild ARMs 3) vs Warlock (Suikoden IV)- Strongly suspect Warlock can blitz down ehre.

Light

Tia (Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals) vs Ramus Farmain (Lunar: Silver Star)- Ramus is pretty incompetent at offense and speed. Tia handles things well enough.
Mukumuku (Suikoden II) vs Garr (Breath of Fire III)- Good work Garr, you can beat a flying rodent.
Cray (Breath of Fire IV) vs Aeris Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)- Better. What's Aeris going to do, tickle him to death while he buffs up?
Enrique (Skies of Arcadia) vs Nio-Fio (Chrono Cross)- Kneejerk of being less awful. Neo-Fio is garbage even by CC scrub standards.

Black Fiend (Lunar 2: Eternal Blue) vs Charlton Blunt (Wild ARMs XF) - I seriously don't remember EBO Black Fiend enough for this after over a decade.
Ghaleon (Lunar: Silver Star) vs Claude Kenni (Star Ocean: The Second Story) - Maybe if Claude's healing was full. -Maybe-.
Jenna Angel (Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga) vs Monk (Bravely Default) - Even if I see Monk punching through the HP buffers, I really don't think she can avoid seeing a Bhairava.

Edgar Roni Fatima (Final Fantasy VI) vs Spell Fencer (Bravely Default) - Spell Fencer blocks Confuse and this completely fucks Edgar over. I guess this could change if you see each individual Brave turn triggering an Air Anchor proc, but I'm honestly not -too- inclined to make this call.
Asellus (SaGa Frontier) vs Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII) - Mops the floor with him.
Tengaar (Suikoden Series) vs Justin (Grandia) - Faster, 2HKOs.
Bishop Stone (Xenogears) vs MOMO (Xenosaga Series) - EDIT: Slow makes MOMO3 absolutely miserable against him, if the insane EDef wasn't enough. XS1 MOMO even has mostly physical damage, but her healing sucks and the same pressure problems end up applying. MOMO2 just checks out and goes home.

Cleo (Suikoden) vs Nelis (Suikoden V) - I'm actually not sure. Cleo's physical makes this not mindless, she's faster and resists Nelis' damage on top of having good mdur. Both probably 3HKO each other to boot. Sooooooooooo... (doesn't matter for super, since Cleo needs the Fire Rune to resist fire, Nelis just 2HKOs while not being 2HKOed back in that case). EDIT: ahahahahaha, oh wow, this is actually worse for Nelis than I thought: she doesn't have a third L4 charge, so she actually should -4HKO- Cleo in practice. Yeah, that's game. Cleo relies on a crit to win either way, but she's significantly more likely to get it in four turns than three.
Samurai (Final Fantasy Tactics) vs Poo (Earthbound) - Confuse blocking, Shell and the crappy healing -really- put a wrench on Poo's strategy. The speed difference is a thing, but Poo really sucks at capitalizing on it.
Ross (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones) vs White Wizard (Final Fantasy) - Actually, Ross should 2HKO WW.
Melody Vilente (Wild ARMs 3) vs Warlock (Suikoden IV) - Warlock 2HKOs Melody and Kindness Rain even heals Poison, which I think really puts Melody's pressure game in the crapper.

Tia (Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals) vs Ramus Farmain (Lunar: Silver Star) - Yeah, not thinking here.
Mukumuku (Suikoden II) vs Garr (Breath of Fire III) - Nor here. Garr is terrible, but Mukumuku has about the same damage and less than half the durability while having less than double the speed. On average, it just doesn't add up.
Cray (Breath of Fire IV) vs Aeris Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII) - Yeah, no. Cray's Might-boosted physical 2HKOs average, don't see why it shouldn't 2HKO Aeris.

Was going to flip my vote due to blocking confuse but I had the exact opposite reaction. Each Brave attack is a single action and is treated like in game (Each one can trigger counters and the like). Don't see any reason why AA wouldn't do the job in that case.

That is indeed true, but that doesn't apply for status procs/duration (Death Sentence's turncount doesn't take into account Braves, nor do Poison's damage ticks or the countdown for status duration running out). So, it depends on how do you see that translating for FF6 terms. I'm not very inclined to be terribly generous to Air Anchor in that regard, since it was downright terrible in-game for the very reason it had a turn delay and multiacting is rarely if ever relevant within its context in-game to boot.

Ghaleon (Lunar: Silver Star) vs Claude Kenny (Star Ocean: The Second Story)
Magus (Chrono Trigger) vs Elincia (Fire Emblem Series) - Not going to make any PC Magus only arguments today. e: but Restore staff regen every now and then > Boss Magus pressure.

Mukumuku (Suikoden II) vs Garr (Breath of Fire III)

I can't actually vote on FE10 Elincia vs. Magus, but... wouldn't staff regen, if the numbers are right, be an -actual- issue against her? His only real offense (as much as you can call a lowish 3HKO "offense") lies in his counters, otherwise he's stuck with the 9HKO-on-a-good-day Geysers and basic physicals against someone with coinflip evade and significant regen until below half HP, at which point his recharging mechanics prove problematic as well. This may not change much of anything, but given how Magus struggles against healing in a duel, this might merit some thought (moreso because, IIRC, giving up Amiti also lowers Elincia's concrete durability. At least, that applied in FE9).

Actually that's probably right, thinking on it.  It's a lousy plan ingame but it's not like Boss Magus is capable of pressuring someone who regens nearly 2/3rds of their HP that way.  It doesn't really help him that his counters/Dark Matter ram into the wrong defense to begin with.

Honestly I think Air Anchor is easy to rule here: FF6 has plenty of multiacting. How does it interact with Air Anchor? I don't know due to using Air Anchor less than once per playthrough on average. <_<

Edgar Roni Fatima (Final Fantasy VI) vs Spell Fencer (Bravely Default): What's a multi-acting enemy vulnerable to Air Anchor anyway...
Asellus (SaGa Frontier) vs Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII)
Tengaar (Suikoden Series) vs Justin (Grandia)
Bishop Stone (Xenogears) vs MOMO (Xenosaga Series): I don't remember Bishop Stone.

Middle

Cleo (Suikoden) vs Nelis (Suikoden V): 3HKOs first?
Samurai (Final Fantasy Tactics) vs Poo (Earthbound)
Ross (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones) vs White Wizard (Final Fantasy): White Wizard goes first and buffs due to Ross' inferior threat range. Does Ross then 2HKO with Killer Axe + Silver Axe and get a win via a crit before White Mage can buff further?

Mt. Zozo has a couple I believe, Borras and Punisher, though both mix in some Nothings in their double-acts so you'll have to try multiple tests if it becomes needed to confirm if the death interrupts a doubleact or not. Fortis has one, but.. checking things, it's a counter. Actually I don't know how Air Anchor interacts with counters, that could be worth checking too...

RPG Legion has all the scripts if someone wants to be less lazy than me and actually do this.

I rather suspect it does interrupt double-acting, now that I think about it, but we'll see.

Mukumuku (Suikoden II) vs Garr (Breath of Fire III)- For Snow, Mukumuku doesn't even similar damage. Garr numerically has more damage than Mukumuku in a game with a much lower curve.
Cray (Breath of Fire IV) vs Aeris Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)
Enrique (Skies of Arcadia) vs Nio-Fio (Chrono Cross)- Abstaining since I think this is a case where SoA in game EXP would make a difference since IIRC Gilder and Drachma would lose a ton of levels.

Slow, sure.

Middle

Cleo (Suikoden) vs Nelis (Suikoden V)
Gonna assume Cleo physicals don't cut it here.
Ross (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones) vs White Wizard (Final Fantasy)
Well, DoS WW loses horribly due to being slower.  NES WW also loses horribly if she goes second, although sure, threat range says she goes first.  I'm okay with allowing RUSE, but not sure it's enough here vs. Ross's critical rate...  it's close, certainly.  If Ross hits but doesn't crit, he forces healing and gets more shots at getting a crit.  Once 2 RUSEs are up, though, Ross's odds drop a lot, and 3 is mostly gg.  I'll give it to WW but it's close.

Testing Air Anchor against PCs is much more annoying because Air Anchor can't normally be used against PCs. You'd have to enter the command for Air Anchor while someone is hitting Edgar with confuse, then luck into him AAing the right person and then test. Possible, but both more difficult to test than its effects on enemies and, I would argue, less relevant.

Added in a vote for Spell Fencer. Honestly, if Air Anchor is bad in game and we can't be sure how it would even function here (especially for me since Air Anchor is barely above 50% hit rate).

Godlike

Black Fiend (Lunar 2: Eternal Blue) vs Charlton Blunt (Wild ARMs XF): Pretty sure Black Fiend needs to 2HKO through Energy Drain to take this, otherwise Charlton has a 4-3 and isn't failing to 4HKO most likely. Black Fiend only 2HKOs here if Charlton's HP is less than 1.35 or so. Not buying it myself.
Ghaleon (Lunar: Silver Star) vs Claude Kenny (Star Ocean: The Second Story)
Magus (Chrono Trigger) vs Elincia (Fire Emblem Series): Yep, Elincia survives Dark Bomb + 2x physical even if she doesn't evade. That leaves Dark Matter which just misses the OHKO.
Jenna Angel (Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga) vs Monk (Bravely Default): Yeah sure whatever.

Heavy

Edgar Roni Fatima (Final Fantasy VI) vs Spell Fencer (Bravely Default): Am I the first person to notice that Spell Fencer is faster? Because that seems to make the whole debate moot...
Asellus (SaGa Frontier) vs Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII): Has damage control.
Tengaar (Suikoden Series) vs Justin (Grandia): Sure.
Bishop Stone (Xenogears) vs MOMO (Xenosaga Series): Slow lets him overpower easily, also the MOMO I vote on isn't Heavy.

Middle

Cleo (Suikoden) vs Nelis (Suikoden V): Cleo halves fire and with good MDef, it means Nelis only... 4HKOs? Yeah, Cleo takes this with a faster 4HKO; I'm pretty impressed since I largely figured Nelis was a better version of her.
Ross (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones) vs White Wizard (Final Fantasy): 2HKOs through defence buffing, don't see the evade buffing as good enough.
Melody Vilente (Wild ARMs 3) vs Warlock (Suikoden IV): Melody only wins if she both 3-2's AND manages to avoid being OHKOed. And she has to 3HKO + poison's 20% to win (that is probably the case at least). Still, probably too many assumptions.

Light

Tia (Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals) vs Ramus Farmain (Lunar: Silver Star): Yeah sure. I generally think Ramus is better than he's sometimes given credit for but not good enough to match up with the Tia tier of High Light.
Mukumuku (Suikoden II) vs Garr (Breath of Fire III): Durability difference > speed difference, sure.
Cray (Breath of Fire IV) vs Aeris Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII): Shield lets him buff to near invincibility, gives him time to do whatever from there.

FF 6 adds 20 extra to speed right? IIRC, FF 6 characters tended to start with partially filled speed bars, which would also narrow the speed curve a bit on turn 1t? I had figured between the two that Edgar was faster myself, but I could have been overrating how much the narrowing effect was.

Fair enough, both games have weird semi-randomised turn order and you can take them however you want. By the numbers, though, Spell Fencer is faster, and that's with me taking SDs = 25%. If you take it as less (15%?) then I'd be quite surprised you still see Edgar as faster, but it's possible. Also, if you see Spell Fencer as marginally slower turn 1 but faster thereafter such that she laps, then she blocks ID instead of confuse (assuming you allow that? I can see going either way there...), and hopes to deconfuse herself while confused by Noiseblaster.
