There are a few things I disagree on Junko's end, considering I know far more about Danganronpa than FNAF.

Weaknesses

(...), she is completely vulnerable to her mind or memories being tampered with.

When I first saw this I knew this would play a heavy part in the debate, and is something the blog ironically tries to heavily skirt around despite its mention. The blog says while they have ended, could still technically happen, especially with the aforementioned Illusion Discs and Fear Gas. But then what are the contexts it mentions then?

She assumed a completely new identity in Danganronpa 0 because her memories were completely wiped and she couldn’t form new ones,

This is true, most of the time in the story, but when confronting something from Junko's core memory, such as despair for instance, she's seemingly able to come back to life. And is able to do several times throughout, even forgoing her Ryoko persona despite the memory wipe and planned around to "RPG" levels. This also includes the multiple times where she has to endure mental shockwaves akin to that of the Discs and similar non-existing nature that Ryoko was able to bring upon Junko at the end.

-and in Danganronpa 3 she was affected by Ryota’s brainwashing technology.

Was affected, later shown to be analyzing his technology to perfection and is no longer affected. Something in the blog that is described as "subtly controlling the minds of whoever witnessed his art through subliminal audio cues." And had to be severely handled with for less fortunate people, along with the Despair Disease bypassing the NWP's advanced neurological technology.

So at worse, she can't handle the Discs and Gas at the moment. But would still otherwise plan around them, effectively becoming null once the battle progresses even by a tiny bit.

Junko's Scaling Issue

There is a case made for it in the blog, though I would like to point out that Junko had to directly control Monokuma. So her scaling speed wise (or reaction based) should make sense, atleast for me.

Afton's Technopathy Vs. Monokuma

This ability played a heavy part of the debate too, and for good reason considering what Junko has in her army and would work against her. At first. In the blog it mentions that Afton takes control of the systems to gain a control of the animatronics but the Monokuma Units coding wouldn't allow that to happen. Using their internal Ultimate Analysis put inside them, they'd just adapt to his hacking and physically not be controlled anymore. Leaving Afton unable to use this ability.

And even then, they can just manually explode to just not be used by him anyway.

Misc

There are also some stuff missing from Junko's side that are a little odd like her paralysis lipstick she uses on Yasuke, her infamous bat, her phone, the Monokuma Bomb she uses on Mukuro's body and feats from her time as Ryoko.

Also don't understand the point about 0's canon when it's been officially on the timeline for years and gets brought up in 2, 3 (like with Izuru not being the true culprit), and World Destroyer (Nagito having met or seen the Madarai Brothers and Ryoko for instance).

But overall I think this blog was done pretty well, just a little odd that some stuff wasn't properly mentioned for some reason.

While I am in favor of William winning and I agree with The Verdict, I have to admit that they missed some things about Junko. If I really have time maybe it will be my own version of this match

It should also be mentioned that the Ultimate Analyst talent allowed Junko to learn from other talents that Junko wouldn't have given him as well... Being able to learn from agony is a better argument than Junko to analyze agony and what he escapes from begins to use the same skills against Afton. There really are more points to cover in this match.
