Talk:Metal Sonic VS Zero/@comment-31200947-20170614214729/@comment-32190651-20170624080752

But one of Metal's attacks in Sonic the Fighters (which is allowed to be used, as it was canon for Segata) is one where he literally just reels back, spins, claws forward, and piledrives into the enemy. Considering Metal's speed being the same as, if not better than, Sonic's, it doesn't look like Zero will have much of a good time. And then, there's also the factor of the Black and Burst Shields. While the Black Shield is seemingly impenetrable, the Burst Shield goes one step further, by removing limbs if they are in the radius of the shield, as seen in the crossover comics with none other than Mega Man and Sonic. Metal himself can actually go at light speed too, thanks to the Light Speed Dash and Light Speed Attack which were copied from Sonic. And, another note here. If you remember at the end of Sonic Heroes, Metal Overlord was only hurt by Super Sonic's Team Burst Attacks. Any attempt from regular Super Sonic alone did nothing at all except build up the meter to just Team Burst Attack again. And, when Metal Overlord was finally brought down, and Metal transformed back, he was still perfectly online, with no visible damage, and only very confused as to how he lost. And, every time Sonic and the gang have defeated Eggman and Metal, they have never been able to actually take them down for good. Say what you will about how they can't just die because they need to be there for future games, but the fact still stands.
