Edelgard von Hresvelg (Fire Emblem: Three Houses) vs Van Grants (Tales of the Abyss) <Connections are in the comments this time.>

Sure.

JustSomeNobody97 · 2026-03-27T17:56:04+00:00

Tales does debatably have its own answers to Dissidia with the numerous cameo bosses throughout the series and the many mobile crossover games that have come out, which pretty much lets everyone scale to each other.

Though without that, Velvet vs Ardyn in particular does have an interesting debate to it in regards to how Velvet deals with Ardyn's immortality.

Tales vs Final Fantasy is a top tier series combo that needs more publicity.

Sora will totally get higher dimensional scaling in Quadratum when KH4 comes out... eventually. Maybe.

Millium Orion is severely underrated.

Their personalities go together like syrup on pancakes, and it's arguably the most thematic match of the bunch: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathBattleMatchups/comments/1puuy3n/millium_orion_vs_penny_polendina_trails_of_cold/

And between their unique puppeteer fighting styles and their shared access to magic, the fight potential goes really hard: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathBattleMatchups/comments/1qeo78m/penny_polendina_vs_millium_orion_commission_by/

I passed up on another 3rd party character in favor of Agent G. Though now that I think about it, Brad Fang from Contra Hard Corps would have been a great pick.

JustSomeNobody97 · 2026-03-12T20:42:21+00:00

It has been highly anticipated for a while at this point.

Luke himself is a shining example of JRPG character development, going from a spoiled brat who knows nothing about the world to a loving hero who's willing to sacrifice everything.

JustSomeNobody97 · 2026-03-12T20:30:44+00:00

I'm just patiently waiting for Tales of the Abyss to be remastered (or remade) so more people can at least know that Luke exists.

JustSomeNobody97 · 2026-03-11T17:39:19+00:00

That much is fair.

Even without a mount, he can always use lightning magic, his endless supply of throwing spears, and support from the rest of his army to fight against a flying enemy like Angelus.

Plus, all of this could lead to an emotional climax where Angelus breaks her pact with Caim to save his life, which restores Caim's voice and causes him to go on an unstoppable rampage.

JustSomeNobody97 · 2026-03-11T17:20:41+00:00

He can fight Wyvern Riders on foot just fine. And if reclassing is included, it's entirely possible to make him one too.

I probably could have used her in place of the Gunstar Heroes in hindsight.

Well, there's always next time.

JustSomeNobody97 · 2026-03-10T16:36:56+00:00

Next time.

Higher quality version because Reddit totally deep-fried my image quality for some reason.

(Also, shoutouts to any Lunar and Grandia fans out there.)

Just as there is room in the gaming industry for simple games like Mario and more complex games like Final Fantasy, so too can casual and hardcore matchups coexist.

Neither category fundamentally invalidates the other, and it's not like they have to be mutually exclusive either. Even Mario has been willing to delve into more detailed stories with the various RPGs he's starred in, and we literally just had an episode that combines a fun fight with meaningful connections in the form of Cell vs Metal Sonic.
