Fio Germi

From 4chan Tournaments Wiki
Fio Germi Gallery

Fiolina "Fio" Germi is a playable character who first appeared in SNK's 1998 run-and-gun video game Metal Slug 2. She is considered one of the four main characters of the Metal Slug series, alongside fellow Metal Slug 2 debutante Eri and male protagonists Marco and Tarma.

While the series isn't well-known for its characters compared to its gameplay, Fio stands out as the most popular character among fans because of her cute, brunette-with-glasses appearance, making her a common subject of fan art (especially of lewd nature). As a result of this, she was the first tournament runner-up in Queen of /v/ and has thus far made three appearances in its Elite Eight.

Tournament History[edit]

Fio is one of the consistently stronger competitors in 4chan's Queen of /v/ character tournament due to her attractiveness and Metal Slug's positive reputation on the board. However, some anons call her a "literally who" because of her relatively less popularity compared to girls from mainstream games - but these statements are almost always shot down by other anons. She was the runner-up of the first Queen tournament in 2019, which saw her defeat a quite impressive roster that included Futaba, Jill, Shantae, and Midna, before falling to Samus Aran in the finals.

The soldier returned in Queen of /v/ 2021, qualifying in the bracket at seed 10. After breezing past the first 2 rounds, she decisively beat Pokémon's Cynthia in round 3, then overcame Ace Attorney's Franziska von Karma in round 4 to re-affirm her place in the Elite Eight - all without garnering as much fan art as other competitors did in those stages. However, she was eliminated by eventual runner-up Madotsuki in the quarterfinals, and later settled for 7th place overall.

Fio's next eligible appearance per the Elite Eight rule was in 2023. Despite being mostly silent aside from shared art with other girls and one fatposter around Round 4, she would quietly make her way back into the Elite Eight for a third time. This makes her one of two girls on /v/ (alongside Roll) to have a perfect Elite Eight streak for at least three eligible tournaments, and one of three to do this alongside Chel in Ms. /co/. In a twist of irony, she would end up facing Roll herself in the quarterfinals and lost by a decent margin. Other notable feats included knocking out the joke pick JPEG Dog in round 3 and the even more silent 2B in round 4. Fio ended up being rewarded 6th place after it was voted to base the Top 8 positions solely on the main / winners' bracket.
