Match 2 Franciscus does have more ranged attacks in his arsenal and can probably wear Nathaniel down since he's slower. On the other hand Nathaniel has got a lot more stubborn determination and honestly if he closes in one good whack probably slows Franciscus enough for him to get shoved out the ring.
Match 3 This is kinda funny because they both tend towards pacifism as a first resort so there's probably just going to be a lot of quiet circling each other at first. Maybe they sit down and have a drink with each other before the fight. But Pralaya probably wins just because his magic is more versatile.
Match 4 Cori also has stubborn determination but honestly not enough to take down a full-grown swan. Her best hope is to hit with a Sing or a bunch of debuffs but even then Louis probably takes it.
Match 6 Honestly John's wards against evil probably fail against the Griffin because he's more blue-and-orange morality than evil. And while he can use his guitar as a last-resort melee weapon the Griffin doesn't have the silver vulnerability that killed the Ugly Bird, so Griffin takes this.
Match 7 Eliza doesn't pull out all the stops but even some of the stops is enough to win probably. Tip probably sees through her attempts at illusionary disorientation but her boosted strength+various transformations make Eliza the victor.
Match 9 Surolam going dragonform makes her resistant to Franciscus' main attack strategy. She picks him up by his collar and deposits him on top of a building.
Match 12 While Eliza has tricks up her sleeve Hope can actually try and match them with her own biokinesis. In the end they both claw each other up pretty badly but I think Hope's the one who's got the scrappyness to last.
Match 13 Surolam probably has trouble against Pralaya's magic but her objectspeech ability gives her some advantage there as well. She probably ends up swatting him out of the arena when one of his spells fails at the wrong moments.
Match 14 Nira uses a lot of barriers and repositioning to move Hope out of the battle arena, Hope still has biokinesis but isn't as good at using it for quick mobility here.
Match 15 They both do neutral damage against each other, basically. Nira can restrict Surolam's flight options somewhat but I think if Surolam manages to grab her opponent then she wins. On the other hand Nira's got the experience to play keepaway here and they're both stubborn little fucks so I think it ends with Nira outlasting but barely.
Surolam gently picks up Foxy by the scruff and deposits her in a tree. She gets whacked a few times with a bat but is pretty much fine.

Nira tucks Cat-Eyed Boy under her arm like a football nad carries him out of the arena
