One Minute Melee

... Wait, both? I only remember him being pitted against Superman. Who else did he fight?

Anyone else notice the moment when Kakashi buried himself in the ground without Aizawa noticing?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

There was also Saitama vs Goku.

... Oh, right. Now I remember it.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Me too. I especially like how the expression on Saitama's sprite never changes from his usual utterly bored face, meaning that, for him Goku is as memorable as that dude from the very first manga chapter / anime episode.

Hell, Saitama probably forgot about him after half a day.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

I do lots of stuff. The real question is am I any good at that stuff.

Huh. Not a bad fight, even if I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Sasuke.

If not for the fact that they've said they'll never use him, I'd like to see this as a DEATH BATTLE! actually.

What keyblade was that?

It actually looked like an over-sized car key.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

That is Riku's new Keyblade as of Kingdom Hearts 3. And yes, it does in fact look like a car key. The first time I saw it in a promotional image I thought it was photoshoped. Oh how wrong I was about that...

I do lots of stuff. The real question is am I any good at that stuff.

I actually expected Sasuke's last move to be another Tsukuyomi ploy.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Sasuke doesn't have Tsukyomi in his moveset, it's Itachi only. Each MS gives a different ability, with the exception that Sasuke and Itachi both have Amaterasu.

They definitely got the feel of Sasuke down, right down to Susano'o being really goddamn cheap and Sasuke having to spam Amaterasu to win.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"

Actually, Sasuke does have Tsukuyomi, he just can't use it as well as Itachi can (demonstrated in his battle versus Danzou, who notes that Sasuke's version lacks the extreme time compression that Itachi's version has). And he even escapes certian death at the end of his OMM fight with Ichigo using a Tsukuyomi-based genjutsu.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

(4) Hm.

(3) And again, hm. That fixed it.

Behold the (to quote a random You Tube commenter) battle of the two most popular side characters fangirls like to ship the main character with.

Indeed Sasuke is just a really cheap fighter. When push comes to shove all he does is spam & abuse his hax bloodline powers.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Sasuke doesn't have it. I'm not sure if there's some sort of anime inconsistency going on, but he definitely doesn't have it in the manga.

MS abilities are three per user - everyone gets Susano'o, but you only get two powers per eye, and Sasuke's are Amaterasu and Blaze Release (the power that lets him shape Amaterasu).

He can use genjutsu from his eye, but he doesn't have Tsukuyomi.

Also, they sent him against Ichigo? You'd think Yusuke would be a far better opponent for Ichigo, he needs to get back at him for ripping off his entire manga and hashing it up so much.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"

Shonen manga rip each other off all the time, mostly due to the fact that the authors share ideas with each other all the time. Its considered an honor, actually.

Watch Symphogear

Sasuke from the beginning of Shippuden vs. Ichigo from the end of the Soul Society Invasion arc.

They stole my idea!

So even in One Minute Melee Genos' arm isn't safe.

Bet you didn't see this coming.

Ok. On the one hand, Pete did kinda pick that fight, and any other hero would have done the same, but on the other hand, a Teenager running around with a giant Scythe Shotgun would in fact be reason enough to pick a fight. Of course, Jameson doesn't need to know that...nor will he care since it's a chance to shit on Spiderman. Which is very unfortunate for our favourite Web-head.

I can follow the logic there, but for some reason I can't agree with it.

‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

Should have ended with This melee's winner is... J. Jonah Jameson!

By the way, is "The Divine Lights are Blazing!" the most over the top the intros have ever been?

I think so.

Now, I'm not sure what the theme was here. Teenaged... "superheroes"... vigilante might be a better word, who wear red and are known to be a little hyperactive and/or annoying?

I liked seeing Ruby's speed vs Peter's spider-sense but other than that...
