And he's fought PLENTY of different kinds of robots over his career as a Maverick Hunter, not to mention won a lot more against that variety than Metal has against his one plus a few different peeps here and there. On the flip side, Zero was designed to kill Mega Man, sure, but also carry out Wily's plan for world conquest. And again, there isn’t even like a swordsman in that group. Tails, Rouge, Cream and Charmy are all packing flight and maybe one unique ability (except maybe on Cream’s part since all she does is throw her Chao at bad guys), and even with the power-types, you have Omega and Vector both using fire attacks and Big and Vector both having something akin to a ground pound technique, so it’s not as big great as an accomplishment as it may sound. Sonic and Shadow basically have the exact same moves and share plenty of similarities with Amy and Espio. Also if we’re being completely honest here, there isn’t a ton of differences between all the characters. So I think it's safe to say the Badnik here isn't gonna have a clue how to deal with the Maverick Hunter, and that's gonna mess him up a lot.Īnd yeah, I know, he could take on the teams from Sonic Heroes, but that’s because he hid away from them and copied their abilities in secrecy without them knowing it, which is something he’s definitely not going to be allowed in Death Battle. And even with the fast dudes thing, Zero's fighting style isn't the "run around at a blinding speed" thing Metal normally deals with when fighting Sonic. Meanwhile, Zero has an arm cannon for projectiles, a sword for melee attacks, and PLENTY of different techniques for each of those. Sonic has his hand-to-hand fighting, spin attacks, spin dashes, homing attacks, boosts, and all that stuff. I mean they're both pretty fast dudes I guess, but that's about where the comparison stops. Heck, they've used this exact strategy numerous times in the comics. For starters, going at even their basic purpose, Metal Sonic was designed solely to outclass Sonic, and we've seen before that he can't handle characters too different from him. And in that case, Zero has a toooon more going for him. So with their stats equalized out like that, the fight would come down to what they've got packed in their coding to me. If you don’t want that, I suggest you just skip to the last three paragraphs or so of this thing. I can actually talk more than who's stronger, faster and tougher this way, just to drive home some extra points. I don’t agree with them myself, and I'm mainly just equalizing out the stats to make it a bit more interesting for myself and not “dis one blew up a thing that is bigger so they win yeah ok”. And though he usually plans against this by shapeshifting into something else to observe and copy from a distance without being caught, this would be akin to prep-time in Death Battle, which of course wouldn’t be too fair on Zero.Īnd bare with me here if you're already raising eyebrows or rolling eyes at those stats, folks. Anything too unsimilar to the foes he faces should reasonably mess him up. Not to mention, Metal Sonic isn’t a perfect A.I., with his coding being preset with every buildup, and thus isn’t capable of improvising on the spot with each fight. And even then, Sonic has defeated his robotic doppleganger plenty of times before. While he can still fare well against certain opponents (such as Mega Man in the Worlds Collide crossover), this weakness still comes back to bite him eventually. Metal being designed specifically to take the hedgehog down makes it difficult for him to battle foes who aren’t the blue blur himself or bare similarities to him. While Metal Sonic is a powerful robot more than capable of taking Sonic on, this exact purpose is also his greatest weakness.
