Okay, really sorry for not doing anything in the last match up, but hopefully I can make up for it by doing some work here. It seems to me that this battle is between a brawler/assassin pair and two speedsters. Quite frankly, I pick the brawler/assassin pair.

My main issue here is just the use of ranged weapons. Carmine and Hitori both have at least some ranged capabilities, while Sin has zero and Suika has a one shot only weapon This issue alone makes it pretty clear who I think will win, but forgetting that factor lets see what else we have to work with.

In terms of sembalnce Carmine and Hitori hold the advantage again. Sinclair would be great if it weren't for the cool down, but that basically kills him. Suika had the ricochete which is interesting, but she still only gets one shot and even then a ricocheted bullet just doesn't have the same impact velocity as a straight shot. Carmine on the other hand has a high damage fire-and-forget weapon while Hitori has a semblance good for entanglement, the speedster's weakess.

Lastly, terrain. In a situation with more cover and solid platforms then maybe this fight would turn the other way, but its a beach. With no cover and no ranged weapons Suika and Sin are just straight up screwed. Second, the beach is a huge disadvantage for the speedster. I don't know who else has ever had a beach vacation, but running in the sand is HARD. If you're trying to sprint left and right while dodging bullets you need a solid, high traction, surface and sand just doesn't meet that requirement. In the long run, this battlefield favors stationary fighters who don't rely much on movement.

Sorry, but my final stance is Carmine and Hitori.
