This one is kind of tricky to figure out.

First of all, Stealth Mastery is mostly a non-factor seeing as Aria's ability to sense the air around her to even a minute degree would allow her to catch any of their shenanigans. As for Wilbur, seeing as he's been able to react to Aria's kicks midway through their motion while off guard, it means that unless the Ghostface's get really lucky and gang up on him, he should still have enough wiggle room to avoid their knife stabs.

Speaking of which, the knives. The advantages that Wilbur and Aria possess in Strength and Durability are somewhat mitigated by the knives seeing as a fatal wound would spell the end for either of them despite what they've survived in the past before, especially since they also have the Speed advantage as well as relative Lifting Strength. On top of all of that, they possess better teamwork via being able to plan out killings.

The only concrete advantage Wilbur and Aria have are combat .skill, and that Aria can suck the air out of her opponent's lungs. Hilariously, this one ability she has completely flips the matchup 180, as the Ghostface duo have no feats of fighting while deprived of oxygen. Plus, you'd think that the masks would make it impossible for her to suck the air from their lungs, but the Ghostfaces need to have holes in the masks in order to, you know, breathe. As for Wilbur, he doesn't provide too much other than more manpower to keep them at bay for Aria to suffocate them. Add onto the fact that it tends to be her first move, and it's no reason why I considered Aria to be nearly overpowered for early in the Dark Hood story.

Overall, if it wasn't for Aria's Air Manipulation, this fight would be a STOMP in the Ghostface duo's favor, but because of Aria's master over the wind, the duo of Wilbur and Aria close out this matchup with a hard earned W.

Wilbur + Aria FTW (Mid-High Diff)

Wilbur + Aria FTW (Mid-High Diff)

Technically, I've only seen Aria suck the air out of one person unless if I forgot stufg. Amd how would Wilbur react if he didn't know where Billy and Stu is going to attack?

The duo can gang up on Aria first, but eh, I see where you're coming from.

Will count this vote.

She did it with the gang members in Chapter 7 before they met Acco. There were four of them and Wilbur was confused as to why she killed them like that. As for how Wilbur would know, Aria would likely tell him what direction they are coming from.

 

[SSB64]

- The dead bodies of four gang members are lying around near the abandoned building. Wilbur and Aria had just defended themselves from the gang's attempts to restrain them. However, Wilbur was more hesitant to actually end them than Aria. As they move from the abandoned road onto grass and poorly managed pavement and make a left from the abandoned building, Wilbur turns to Aria with his face full of confusion. "Seriously? Why did you have to suffocate them? Knocking them out would've been enough." In response, Aria simply shrugs. "They were the ones attacking us. I was just defending myself."

Shouldn't ghostface scale to Roman's 9.3 KJ feat? Giving them more AP, or should the duo be 9-B via fighting Acco?

Shouldn't ghostface scale to Roman's 9.3 KJ feat? Giving them more AP, or should the duo be 9-B via fighting Acco?

For the Ghostface duo, their best feat looks to be about 2.3kJ as shown on their profiles.

As for Wilbur and Acco, they scale to more than 1/5th of Bloodclaw's power, not the full force of it. The same goes for Acco himself. This gets them to 3.4kJ

Even if the Ghostface duo do scale, that isn't exactly the wincon they need since again, Aria just sucks the air from their lungs. Plus, another thing that might help is that Wilbur uses the terrain to his advantage, like what he did with Aria to beat her. Wilbur sure does know how to wield knives effectively. Maybe that could help as a distraction.
