Since Cube is my character, I'll argue for him, but I can't vote.
 
To start off with, Cube is one of the seven heroes, so her statistics reduction won't work. Cube also resists all of her hax, covering paralysis, power null, status effect inducement, poison, and the durability negation (which is apparently transmutation). Cube's healing and statistics amplification will keep him in the game for a long time, especially since their AP is practically equal. If it comes down to it, she doesn't seem to resist the mind hack either, which provides Cube with a solid way to damage and whale on her. Cube's healing is generally an automatic response to being attacked significantly, but Cube can do it manually as well. Cube also has a significant amount more versatility.

Question: Does her healing heal herself as well, or just nearby allies?
 
Allow me to do the advantages and disadvantages:

Attack: 5pb, see above.

Durability: 5pb, see Attack.

Lifting Strength: Cube. 10>5

Stamina: Cube. Limitless > Average (assuming at default average stamina for 5pb since its listed as unknown)

Range: 5pb. Thousands of km > dozens of m.

Intelligence: Cube. As a supercomputer, that would grant him good knowledge as well as good skill. 5pb is average at best.

Experience: 5pb. Is teen, while Cube is just a week old.

Abilities: Close one, but gotta say Cube. These two have good abilities that can rival each other, both can Amp themselves and Debuff each other, and both have good elemental resistances. While 5pb might resist statuses, she unfortunately cant resist one particular status that Cube can do: Sleep. While you say that 5pb can null that using Sforzando, in actuality, Cube resists that. So, he puts 5pb to sleep, attacks, and GG.

Conclusion: Cube, despite only being a week old, is surprisingly skilled and better stats than 5pb in most categories. By the time he puts 5pb to sleep, its game over. 5pb would not even know that she cant power null Cube, so Cube can tire her thanks to a stamina advantage, put her to sleep, and gg. While he has a range disadvantage, he can tire out 5pb until she is too tired to fight back, then he walks up to her close and does the thing. Voting Cube.
 
AP and durability advantages are minimal at best. As for experience, Cube has fought a lot of battles in that week. Doing the math, there's a total of 11 bosses in the Final Chapter, plus Oersted + OD-10, plus a plethora of random encounters, so Cube has experienced his fair share of fights despite his age. Also 5pb can't debuff Cube, since I believe her debuff relies on Cube being evil.

'side from that, looks good.
 
Mind Hack seems a little OP of an advantage, but I doubt it's enough for a stomp.


Wait a moment... my nominee... is against weekly's first.

Code:
*Unconfortable screeching intensifies.*
 
I mean, Cube's an RPG character with no battle cutscenes, so it's unlikely he'll use mind hack straight away.

Big F
 
How is being an RPG character with no canonically set move mean that he won't start with it? As far as I remember we assume characters use their skills reasonably well enough as far as their intelligence lets them if there is no set move.

Drag resists her main thing so it's alright.

Not that he won't start with it, it's that he's got about a dozen other options he could start with, so it's unlikely he'll pick that one. He has the intelligence to decide to use it later on, but whatever he leads with is a dice roll.
 
Alright, seven votes for Cube, I'll wait a bit for Genericstickman to say his peace before adding the results, but round 4 will be up shortly.
