T260G (SaGa) vs. Belial (WA4) - 2RKOs, and Belial doesn't kill in time.
Heavy:
Emelia (SaGa) vs. Edgar Roni Figaro (FF6) - Rematch
Middle:
Red XIII (FF7) vs. Byleth Eisner (FE3H) - I'm very interested in seeing the math on this one.

Red XIII (FF7) vs. Byleth Eisner (FE3H)
Normally, FE characters are good vs. Limits because they can chip around them, and normally FE characters are good at slugfests because they get free counterattacks, but... these two aspects work against each other here? I'm pretty sure counterattacks in FF7 still fill the Limit Gauge. So a vanilla strategy is:
R13: Attack, Byleth counterattacks with SotC
B: Brave Sword attack
R13: Attack, Byleth counterattacks with BS (1x hit)
Red has taken 30+50+25 = 105 FE3H damage, which still isn't a KO to average. But that last counterattack probably sets up a Red Limit, so even if Red is just running the vanilla L1 Sled Fang, this should still 3HKO Byleth, assuming Byleth didn't evade or get multiple healing procs or the like. But given that Limited Moon is listed at 114% base accuracy, I think Red actually takes this. Byleth can equip an Iron Sword or something to reduce the damage of the first counterattack, which if this is seen as preventing an L1 Limit might be the right call, but then Byleth risks not KO'ing on their second turn and needs to gamble on getting Crest of Flames (but only in their second attack, not too early and thus handing the Limit over anyway!). Seems Red-favored.

Godlike:
T260G (SaGa) vs. Belial (WA4) - Belial needs way too much time here and smashcan isn't walled by distortion.
Middle:
Red XIII (FF7) vs. Byleth Eisner (FE3H) - Honestly Byleth has no way to avoid a L2 to me barring a lucky crit at the right time.
not gonna bother with voting on the rematches

Congratulations to T260G, Emelia, Red XIII, and Virginia Maxwell for winning RPGVO 2023. A followup post will probably be put up tomorrow discussing the future of this tournament and giving some explanation. However, to all who voted in or nominated for it, I hope you had fun.

T260G (SaGa) vs. Belial (WA4) - V-MAX, Starlight Shower, the end.
Emilia (SaGa) vs. Edgar Roni Figaro (FF6) - pew pew
Red XIII (FF7) vs. Byleth Eisner (FE3H) - Yeah, don't think Byleth really can avoid a L2 and uh that's bad news. It's not like Byleth has the easiest time against Nanaki even before limits come into play.
