GF 93: Don\'t get me wrong, I think One Minute Melee is a very good series for the most part, but my personal DMOS has to go to \"Zero vs. Meta Knight\". It was a great idea for a fight for various reasons (The two not only both being sword-wielding mentors and friendly rivals to the main heroes of their respective franchises, but also being very popular and Badass characters in their own right), so it\'d be a great episode for either this series or a Death Battle, right? Sadly not. It was a massive disappointment in several respects, and just overall reeked of wasted potential. The fight itself was very pedestrian for the series\' usual fast-paced and exciting standards, with neither character (Especially Meta Knight, who is limited to only his basic swordplay and not even allowed to use his Super Smash Bros. moves or abilities despite using the same voice and appearance from there) really being able to do anything much considering their usual amount of powers and abilities that could have come into play, and the animation was nothing spectacular. Dishonorable mention however, has to go to the ending, for the sheer amount of Critical Research Failure and Out of Character-ness abound from both characters. Zero uses the Rekkoha to summon lightning, Meta Knight Screams Like a Little Girl (Despite him normally being The Stoic and never reacting to anything in such a way in his own series) and lets his guard down, allowing Zero to inflict a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown which ends with him stabbing Meta Knight through the face with his superheated Z-Saber, before slashing upward to bisect him vertically, with blood splattering across the ground from each of the two halves. Not only is it needlessly graphic and brutal for a series whose fights don\'t normally end in death, but it goes completely against Zero\'s established character, who outright refuses to kill sentient living beings. With that in mind, he could have easily knocked Meta Knight\'s sword out of his hand and then sliced his mask off from there, which would have been a nice Call Back to how he\'s defeated in the Kirby series.
I\'m going to have to object to this one. One Minute Melees are decided without any research. So you can\'t criticize lack of research when that\'s the whole point of the melee.
