I hope for Silver's sake that if he fights Trunks they make them both a composite.

Speaking of, Silver Vs. Trunks is quite possibly the most barebones match Silver has in terms of connections. Archie Silver and a Composite Trunks is better but with their standard canon forms it's just "Time travelling teenagers who fight for their futures who have multiple forms"

Trunks also wields a sword and shoots energy blasts while Silver relies on TK. Silver doesn't have anything else in common with Trunks at all. Trunks isn't even naive in the main canon or anything nor does he have a wise best friend or mentor figure who died.

If anything Cable is a better match individually for Trunks and Silver rather than them against each other. Hell, the Hero of Time has more connections with Trunks. Tine travelling swordsmen who have to prevent the oncoming apocalypse by thwarting the evil entities who caused it while also having a female figure important to them that they had to both leave behind grant them their ability to even go on their quest. Link also saw the Deku Tree die who was like an advisor while Trunks can have Gohan or Goku be argued to be that to him.

I absolutely hate the match, and it's partly because I don't want tk see Silver be done dirty like that but also because the connections just aren't there unless you composite them, and even then they're not that special.
