I agree with Jester, this is a pretty split match and I have no idea who will win. I do however believe that terain will be the most important aspect of this match. Range will play a limited role at best because none of the fighters present are really equiped for distance and the terrain provides too much cover.

The urban setting is great for Az and downright perfect for Penelope. The tommy gun is perfect for clearing rooms and assorted close range match ups. Furthermore, his semblance will find unlimited use in the disorienting confines of an unknown building. Penelope too couldn't ask for anything better. In an urban setting she doesn't need to worry much about close combat, and the remote control nature of her weapon means she doesn't even need to be in the same room as the fight. Lastly, her sembalnce allows for a smoke screen, more huge bonuses.

On the other hand, both Leo and Darian are ill suited to the close quaters fighting boound to come in the city. Unless they duke it out in the streets both will find limited use in the cramped confines of a shop or room. For Leo, a slow and hulking brute, small rooms and alley ways are just a bad idea. And if he tries to use his semblance in a high rise, he could end up sending himself out of a fifth story window. Likewise, Darian's weapon, topping off at four and a half feet in length, will find little use in a tight space. His sembalnce however, given its increased precision, won't be so much of a hinderance.

In the end, this fight will come down to who gets knocked off first, Az or Penelope. After that it will be left to hunting down the remaining opponent. I say slight advantage to Darian and Penelope mostly because of speed, but still too early to vote.
