Meta Knight Vs Beta Ray Bill by Ssundpool on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

(Kirby vs Marvel)

Connections I got from Skadooshed:

Strong badass alien warriors who are similar to an ally of theirs (Meta Knight is the same species as Kirby while Bill wears similar armor to Thor). Both have the power to rival one of the most powerful heroes of their respected universes (Kirby and Thor). Both are first shown to possibly be enemies and rivals (Tho I think Meta is still kind of a rival?) but do become allies. Both are involved with some sort of a cool reveal that being Meta Knight being unmasked to be the same species as Kirby while Bill lifts Thor's hammer. Both travel through space challenging opponents while also doing good deeds. Both occasionally aid their allies (Kirby and Thor) by joining them on their journeys. Both are the captains of their own spaceship and are a part of a group of fellow warriors (Meta-Knights and Thor Corps) Both rely on and wield a powerful weapon being Meta’s sword and Bill’s Stormbreaker which can both generate lightning, electricity, and manipulate the weather There's an evil version of both that being Dark Meta Knight, Galacta Knight, and Omega Ray (Galacta Knight and Omega Ray were also sealed away). Both fly. Both are apart of a dying race (Korbinites and Star Warriors)so I'm gonna rant for a second, I know that this matchup has flaws such as a height difference, power difference, and weapon difference. but here is a problem Zero from Mega Man gas 2 of the 3 problems.

Height Difference:

so this is an argument I seen for this matchup "the height difference hinders the animation" Zero is 5'9", Beta Ray Bill is 6'7"... Meta Knight is 10". by the logic of the height difference Zero also has that problem so it shouldn't be a Beta Ray Bill exclusive issue if another matchup has same god damn issue, stop cherry picking issues for one thing then saying another is perfect. oh and Majin Boo vs Kirby exists so the whole size difference argument is thrown out of the water

Power Difference:

Beta Ray Bill washes Meta Knight, and Meta Knight washes Zero. so that argument is kinda stupid if you don't do the same with the other. the argument I've seen is that Metal Knight speed and Beta Ray Bill's power don't mix well either so it hinders the fight. Raiden vs Thor, Raiden is somewhat fast and he was going fast during the whole fight so that argument is also not that good. and don't me started on the whole stomp bullshit, Flash vs Quicksilver exists so stomps don't matter.

Weapon Clash:

Beta Ray Bill and Meta Knight's weapon clash is ok argument but it adds animation and Stormbreaker is an hammer/axe, they show the hammer and sword clashes, and with them doing you know A SWORD VS HAMMER FIGHT ALREADY they can do another one

another argument I've seen is art clash, there is a thing sprites, they can look how you want to them look, "but the art styles they have clash", you know they did a fighting game vs a kids game with different art styles? it was Riptor vs Yoshi, a darker game that revolves around beating the shit out of people and causing blood to go everywhere and then a game that has you stomp on goomba's and doesn't have blood almost ever.

then another (also the most stupid argument) it cucks other matchups...Thor appeared 3 times, Vegeta appeared 3 times, Wonder Woman appeared 3 times, Batman appeared 4 times, just because a character appeared more than once doesn't mean that they won't appear again

this matchup isn't my favorite, but it's better than people give it credit for
