Looking into what Matt said, there were a few thing sI forgot to mention (Everyone gets dropped in with their standard weapons and the goal is not to kill  for example) but I don't consider it fair to add it back in.

Xaro Leitz vs. Annie Anitho- Definitely goes to Xaro. Annie's an okay fighter but nothing against that kind of power.

Malcolm Parker vs Cal- Cal is a more subtle person and so could handle the element of surprise better.

Kat Murray v. Matt Parker- (Firstly, there are no powers of Matt listed on his page but I'll do the best with the stories on his page). Okay, so I really believe this goes to Kat and here's why. Kat's whole shtick involves being underestimated and around THO she typically ends up using the Celestial Bronze  facet of her powers. However, there is a whole other side to her powers she rarely has used around her peers- her abilities with the Mist (which she can use against demigods). Considering the facts that a) Kat has a power which pairs well with surprise b) She hasn't used it many times around him and c) if there is any celestial bronze left over from previous battles its hers to use. (This is all based off the info in the stories about Matt.)

Grayson Russo vs. Arthur Willard- I agree with the lucky shot thing. I don't believe he'll have the chance to use it against some opponents, but not Arthur.

Maxis Deon vs. Natalyia Smith-  OK, here's the thing- no prep basically assures victory for Natalyisa against anyone but a Quester because nobody knows she exists. Maxis senses her, and he's going to think she's Natalie. Seeing as Maxis is called a "nice guy" he has no plans to death touch his friends. Natalyia can easily take advantage of this.

Ava Smierc vs. Maximilian Martell- Ava's a great fighter who is typically overshadowed by Zack which leaves her with more of an element of suprise.

Michael Johnson vs. Jess McKent- I think this could go either way,  but with the whole no prep thing Michael could probably adapt better.

Anastasia Quinn vs. Henry Ernest-  Like Matt said, he has an ability which will work well against those unprepared. It may not go so well against the later enemies, though.

Jade Vao vs. Alexandria Healy- Like Matt said.

Arcana Phan vs. Kyra Musika- Another Quester whose power is masked by Zack. Considering the element of suprise and the fact that she'd probably have her bow on her, I'll give it to her.
