Death Battle Match Ideas: Baiken

Seeing how progress on Black Adam vs Apocalypse and Scrooge vs Krabs are both becoming slower due to finals this week, I figured I'd take a break from them and spread some more awareness to certain characters that have had little-to-no exposure in the VS Community. To start things off, I decided to go with Guilty Gear's resident one-armed, one-eyed samurai, Baiken.

Bio:

Baiken Slices Into Death Battle!Baiken Alias: The Lone Samurai Age: Unknown, but should at least be a little over 170 Height: 5'4 Weight: 100 lbs Occupation: Samurai, Guardian to Kum Haehyun (Xrd REV 2) First Appearance: Guilty Gear (May 14, 1998) Themes: Feats: General -Survived the destruction of her village when she was a child -Trained herself in swordsmanship so she could hunt down Asuka R. Kreutz (AKA That Man) for his role in destroying her village Guilty Gear -Entered the Second Sacred Order Tournament in order to seek out That Man and get revenge on Justice, the Gear responsible for Japan's destruction     -Though she was eventually forced to retreat aft...

Backstory:

The year was 2073. Thanks to the efforts of the scientist Asuka R. Kreutz, also known by the confusing alias of "That Man," the long-abandoned Gear Project had finally begun to make progress toward advancing evolution. By combining the DNA of various species with the cryogenically preserved cells of his deceased friend Aria Hale, Asuka had managed to create Justice, the first complete member of the Gears, a race created by combining the best aspects of multiple species.

Unfortunately, this progress would soon hit a snag thanks to the efforts of a being known as the Merciless Apocalypse, who would harvest Justice's DNA and unleash it upon the nation of Japan. The Gear cells would mutate most of Japan's population which, when combined with the spacial anomalies known as Information Flares, led to the infected becoming incredibly dangerous and unstable Anti-Matter Gears. The Information Flares would begin to merge reality with the Backyard, another dimension that would disintegrate both the body and soul of whatever enters it. Realizing this, Asuka would be forced to activate Justice and use her Gamma Ray to destroy Japan, an act that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Those who survived the nation's destruction would be placed under the care of the United Nations and placed in special colonies. Unfortunately, these were still vulnerable to attack, as Justice would show when she commanded her Gears to lay waste to one of the villages. One of the few survivors of this massacre would be Baiken, a child who had witnessed the bloody deaths of her parents and friends after having her left eye gouged out and her right arm severed. Amidst the flames of her village, she could see the silhouette of That Man, and she would swear vengeance upon him and his creations. From that day forward, Baiken committed herself to learning the ways of swordsmanship and began collecting a series of tools for one purpose: to hunt down That Man and the Gears so she could make them pay for what they'd done.

Record:

So far, Baiken has been in one fight.

 vs Future Gohan, by myself:

Death Battle: Future Gohan vs BaikenPrelude here: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all! It's time for a Death Battle!------------------------------------------------------ European Forest, December 2187 “Dammit! Hold still!” A rough, feminine voice demanded as a katana flew through the air. Its target, a woman in a shoulderless red jacket and witch hat, only responded with a wry grin as she leapt back.“Come on! What fun would there be if I did that?” The red-clad woman, I-No, taunted as she avoided another strike. Before her opponent could attempt a third swing, the red witch strummed her cyan guitar, producing a massive sound wave that kno...

Owned by: No one

Who I think wins: Baiken due to having every advantage

Connections: Samurai who wander a dystopian future

Owned by: No one

Who I think wins: Why would you do this to Jack?

Connections: Ponytailed, stoic swordsmen who survived an apocalyptic event and possess a fighting style that primarily focuses on defense and counters
Owned by: No one
Who I think wins: Hakumen’s more intelligent, a better strategist, the superior swordsman, and could use his Unlimited Mode and the Power of Order to lessen the physicality gap, but it doesn’t change the fact that Baiken easily blitzes and one-shots him

Connections: One-eyed sole survivors of a massacre that took place in a Japanese village
Owned by: No one
Who I think wins: Jubei’s the better swordsman, but Baiken destroys him physically-speaking

KOKONOE (BLAZBLUE)

Connections: Pink-haired, foul-mouthed women who occasionally use magic in combat and are obsessed with revenge
Owned by: No one
Who I think wins: You could bend the rules of Death Battle to give Kokonoe everything she’s ever built/worked on (including characters that would be outside help, like Tager and Lambda) and Baiken would still destroy her

RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE (BLAZBLUE)

Connections: One-eyed, one-armed, foul-mouthed swordsmen driven by vengeance
Owned by: No one
Who I think wins: Ragna’s Soul Eater, healing factor, immense willpower, and forms could help him, but they’d only be delaying the inevitable

JIN KISARAGI (BLAZBLUE)

Connections: Stoic swordsmen who wield a sentient blade that desires blood
Owned by: No one
Who I think wins: Jin’s hax, Unlimited Mode, and ability to use the Power of Order could keep him in the game for a bit, but Baiken slaughters so hard in physicality that it’s unlikely he’d even be able to use them

BULLET (BLAZBLUE)

Connections: Busty, stoic women who specialize in close quarters
Owned by: No one
Who I think wins: Bullet’s one of the lower tier characters in terms of Blazblue’s scale of power, while Baiken’s at least mid-tier in terms of Guilty Gear’s, so take a guess

NINE THE PHANTOM (BLAZBLUE)

Connections: Pink-haired, foul-mouthed magic users with quick tempers

Connections: Ponytailed, stoic swordsmen born over a century ago
