Welcome to the King of Fighters 2020 (NOT MERCS) Simulated Character Battle Tournament!

The game is simple. The two* listed characters are placed in an (imaginary) location with a variety of (imaginary) environments, kind of like a picture in a child's schoolbook that describes different types of geological features. Within a ten mile radius, there is an (imaginary) urban downtown, exurbs, plains, snow-clad mountains at the edge, dry plains, etc. Fighters start wherever is most appropriate for them, but feel increasingly compelled to seek out their opponent and fight. Strong-willed fighters can try to hold out in their chosen environment for longer... eventually, all will succumb and actively search for the other to battle.

To participate, just vote in bold for whichever character you believe will win. Giving reasoning is optional, but please be polite and read what others have said and carefully make your decision. I'll ping the nominators (they can opt out) to give arguments if they wish.

TODAY'S PARTICIPANTS:
The Bride (Kill Bill)

A master swordsman, martial artist and assassin, The Bride is a person who has mastered their body and possess immeasurably determination

vs

2pac (East vs West)

A legendary rapper, 2pac is back as a hologram... unable to interact with physical reality? (I'm assuming this is the version Maria wants given their noms)

It doesn't seem like either can hurt the other?

I guess the Bride can fuck him up with mirrors if that would count? And both could probably try to convince the other to give up, which will probably work better for the extremely stubborn Bride

I mean, there has to be projectors and electronics for a hologram to work, those things are vulnerable to attack.

the only offensive action holo-2pac can take is to make obscene gestures so yeah

The Bride

Does 2pac's hologram ability make The Bride aware he's a hologram out of the box

No. When she sees him she can tell if the effects aren't good enough (or just by recognizing him if you think she knows enough pop culture to realize he's dead)

From the Washington Post:
"The image of the rapper is not, in fact, a hologram. The 2D-image is an updated version of a stage trick that dates to the 1800s. In the old version, an actor would hide in a recess below the stage as stagehands used mirrors to project the image of a ghost.

According to a 1999 patent uncovered by the International Business Times, the trick used by the company AV Concepts employs an angled piece of glass placed on the the stage to reflect a projector image onto a screen that looks invisible to the audience."

So there's just "an angled piece of glass" reflecting "a projector image onto a screen."

Keeping that in mind, what does 2Pac even do? How can he harm her? I mean I guess in real life Tupac Shakur probably carried a gun on him, but can a hologram even use a real gun? If he uses a hologram gun, how does it hurt the Bride? Should we assume for the sake of discussion that the hologram can interact with the surrounding world?

Honestly, if they can't hurt each other, I can see them trying to fight, then having a civil conversation about how much their respective lives have sucked.

Then the Bride sees the mirror and breaks it with her fist.

The Bride.

I feel like I'm misunderstanding something here because what is a hologram even going to do

if he's a self-supporting hologram then I guess he'll still be alive when she dies of old age??

If he's self-supporting, won't he run out of power eventually?

Oh, unless you mean he's not using power. He just exists.

yeah. I mean, that doesn't make sense, but I don't "get" this match in general

I'm not sure if I'm overthinking a joke nom or if Maria had something specific in mind that the writeup isn't capturing

2pac uses his blue ghost powers to defeat her, and I won't be convinced otherwise

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
