comment
1 Minute Melee (formerly One Minute Melee) was a Spin-Off series to DEATH BATTLE! on ScrewAttack, done by DB animators (mostly Mali De'lisser). Exactly as the name suggests, every fight is over within a minute, and unlike Death Battle doesn't have outcomes determined by research (in this case meaning the winner is decided purely through Author Appeal), and the fights don't necessarily have to end in death.In 2016, One Minute Melee split away from ScrewAttack and has dissociated itself from Death Battle. It is now run by a studio known as Hyper Gauge, featuring the same animators working in collaboration.

Twist Ending

comment
Twist Ending Ichigo vs. Sasuke ends with Ichigo cutting Sasuke down... only for Sasuke to knock Ichigo out using a genjutsu with his Sharingan at the last second. Goku vs. Sonic ends with Saitama killing Goku and being subsequently challenged by Superman. After Meta Knight's victory in Meta Knight vs. Shovel Knight, the real Meta Knight appears to dispatch the first one in about three seconds — revealing him to be the evil impostor Dark Meta Knight, and in turn explaining why he attacked a fellow hero first and then tried to kill Shovel Knight afterward when normally, he would not.

Evasive Fight-Thread Episode
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_197a0651
comment
Evasive Fight-Thread Episode: One could see the match between Lucario and Renamon as this when it comes to the two Fandom Rivalrys since the fight ended in a draw. Another episode between Samus Aran and Mega Man has Mega Man seemingly fight Samus with the later reveal that its actually SA-X from Metroid Fusion. Mega Man is declared the official winner even though he technically didn't even fight Samus- he was actually fighting the SA-X the whole time. Samus herself actually stepped in to help Mega Man finish the SA-X off, and then left without any hostilities exchanged. Also the case with Link Vs. Sora, since a more accurate title would be Dark Link Vs. Sora. Sora wins, beating the curse out of Link. They then team up to take on Dark Link and his army of Heartless. Yet another case with Bowser Jr. vs Metal Sonic, as Mecha Sonic is the one who defeats/destroys both of them. Ichigo vs. Sasuke ended relatively inconclusively. Ichigo was about to kill Sasuke before being caught in a genjutsu, but Sasuke opted not to take advantage of his incapacitation, leaving both fighters alive. Ichigo was given the win, due to having overwhelmed Sasuke with his bankai and having got the final blow in before the timer ended. Simiarly, the April Fools' Day episode of Goku vs. Sonic ended with both characters defeated: Sonic is knocked unconscious 2 seconds into the fight while Goku, who had defeated Kirby, Godzilla and the Avengers, is killed by Saitama.

Actually a Doombot
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_1ca6727d
comment
Actually a Doombot: In "Samus vs. Mega Man", the Samus that Mega Man fights is actually the SA-X. After Mega Man defeats it initially by using the Black Hole Bomb to drop a building on top of it, it comes back in its mutated form and nearly ends up killing him — at which point the real Samus Aran shows up in her Gunship to save Mega Man by strafing the beast with cannon fire, and jumps down to lend the blue robot a hand in finishing it off. Mega Man is still credited with the overall win, though. This happens again in "Meta Knight vs. Shovel Knight". After an unusually-vicious Meta Knight defers Shovel Knight, he prepares to finish off his downed opponent with a Sword Beam — only for another Meta Knight to teleport in and stop him, before soundly defeating him in combat to protect Shovel Knight. The first one is subsequently revealed to be the evil Dark Meta Knight in disguise, and the second one is the real Meta Knight, who gets subsequently credited with the overall win.

"Meta Knight vs. Shovel Knight" ends with Meta Knight attempting to finish off the downed Shovel Knight with a Sword Beam — which, as a heroic invidual with a strong code of honour, seems very Out of Character for him. It's at which point the real Meta Knight teleports in to stop him, revealing that the one who had fought beforehand was the evil Dark Meta Knight, before quickly destroying his Mirror World counterpart to save Shovel Knight.

Out of Character
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_379b8809
comment
Out of Character: Some of the combatants exhibit behaviour that goes against their canon selves: Samus viciously fighting Mega Man without a good reason to. It's revealed after the fight that it wasn't her, but the SA-X taking on her form. The real Samus shows up afterward to help Mega Man put it down for good. Sonic the Hedgehog intentionally and brutally murdering The Flash for fighting his friends — who are implied to have attacked him first, no less — and saying he deserved it. Fortunately averted in Mario vs. Sonic, where he's portrayed much more accurately as the cocky but well-meaning Jerk with a Heart of Gold he is in canon. Link attacking the heroic Sora, Donald and Goofy without any good reason to. After the fight, it's revealed that he was being possessed by Dark Link, who most certainly would. For a case of this from both combatants in a match, Meta Knight squealing like a little girl (Complete with derpy facial expression) at Zero's Rekkoha despite normally being very calm and collected (Although to be fair, this was likely intentional.), and Zero being outright gleeful at brutally stabbing him through the face and bisecting him vertically when his canon self certainly would not have been — not even taking into account his usual refusal of killing sentient living beings.

Although he loses all three battles against his opponent, Kenpachi's still able to put up a good fight each time, and even came close to killing Akuma in his Oni form in the last confrontation they had before having the Shun Goku Satsu performed on him, so props to the guy for that, at least.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Metal Sonic vs. Bowser Jr. doesn't even try to hide the fact that both of the titular characters stand no chance against Mecha Sonic. Junior at least put up some semblance of a fight, but Metal gets absolutely trashed even before the actual fight begins. Also, Master Hand vs Polygon Man. Polygon Man tried to put up a fight, but the fight is basically a fist punching a face, so the outcome isn't surprising. Asuna vs. Orie starts off even enough, but when Orie brings in her Thanatos spirit, she very quickly gains control of the fight, with Asuna being forced to spam projectiles just to get a hit in. Cell vs. Meruem is extremely one-sided in favor of Meruem. Try as he might, Cell can only land two hits on Meruem, while the Chimera Ant King disassembles him piece by piece. GOKU vs. SONIC? is the biggest example of this by far. It takes all of two seconds for Goku to defeat Sonic. Zero vs. Meta Knight is likewise extremely one-sided in favour of Zero. Not helped by the fact that Meta Knight's forbidden from using any of his special abilities and techniques beyond his basic swordplay (Despite using his voice and appearance from the Super Smash Bros. series), an unusually-bloodthirsty and psychotic Zero pretty much stomps him throughout. Meta Knight is literally only able to get a few hits in before the Maverick Hunter brutally and gleefully murders him, despite Zero's usual outright refusal to kill living beings. Zig-zagged in Painwheel vs Decapre. When the fight starts, Decapre is relentlessly beating down Painwheel, blow by blow. Come the last twenty seconds of the fight, Painwheel flies into a rage and completely destroys Decapre. Guts vs. Kirito ends on a similar note as Asuna vs. Orie. Once Guts goes into his Berserker Armor, the rest of the fight consists of him absolutely destroying Kirito. Meta Knight vs. Shovel Knight involves the second-biggest example of this after GOKU vs. SONIC?. Although the battle itself is pretty even for the most part, it takes Meta Knight himself all of three seconds to appear and dispatch Dark Meta Knight at the end. Played With in Bill Cipher vs. Sans. Although most of the fight ends up being a huge stomp in Sans' favour thanks to his telekinesis and Gaster Blasters, Bill Cipher still wins by pausing time right at the last second and slapping Sans once — giving the impression that Bill himself was just toying with him. Gaara vs Crocodile: Crocodile manages to consistently No-Sell Gaara's attacks, up until the latter starts attacking physically instead of using only sand, but Gaara is unable to turn the fight around. While for most of Goten vs Boruto, the fighters were about even, when Goten turns Super Saiyan, Boruto gets utterly trounced. When Luffy, Zoro, and Ichigo try to attack Aizen in Aizen vs Madara, Aizen knocks them all out with a single attack.

Butt-Monkey: The universe isn't very kind to Ryu. First, his death by Scorpion's hands is alluded to in Scorpion vs. Ghost Rider. Second, his chance for redemption against Jin Kazama ends in a Double KO. Third, he gets blown up, or at the very least teleported away by Polygon Man at the beginning of Master Hand vs. Polygon Man. At least he didn't die in his actual OMM.

Wham Shot: For anyone who watched Super Mario Bros.

Fans of SMBZ knew in that moment that poor Bowser Jr. was screwed before the real fight even began.

Double Knockout: Both Lucario vs. Renamon and Ryu vs. Jin Kazama end with both combatants knocked out at the same time. This later happens again in the extended cut of Little Mac vs. Ippo, after both fighters take a round each. This happens once again in Waddle Dee vs. Goomba to a humorous extent, after Bowser Jr. launches a massive Banzai Bill to attempt to help his team, but ends up wiping both sides out, as does Vergil vs. Sephiroth after the two impale each other with their respective swords in mid-air, before crashing into an erupting volcano.

Sequel Hook
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_6293c185
comment
Sequel Hook: Akuma vs Kenpachi ends with Kenpachi being launched into the sky. This continues into Catwoman vs Black Widow. Oni vs Kenpachi ends with Yachiru retrieving a defeated Kenpachi from the wreckage of the fight. This fight continues in Oni vs Kenpachi 3 and ends with Oni performing the Raging Demon on Kenpachi, thus finishing the feud. Dio vs Sakuya ends with Sakuya leaving Dio's bloodied body behind, complete with the famous JoJo To Be Continued sign. This eventually leads to Jotaro vs Kenshiro. Vergil vs Sephiroth ends with a defeated Sephiroth promising Vergil that they'll cross paths once more. Zoro vs Kenshin ends with Sasuke finding Naruto waist-deep into the cliff he was launched into. This leads to Sasuke vs. Ichigo. Peacock vs BB Hood ends with Valentine with a Slasher Smile, readying her needles for... something... Bowser Jr. vs Metal Sonic ends with Bowser and Mecha Sonic facing off, ready for combat. Sasuke vs. Ichigo ends with Sasuke limping away with Naruto after knocking Ichigo out with a genjutsu, all three living to fight again. Goku vs. Sonic ends with Superman stepping up to challenge Saitama. In an inversion, Trunks vs. Silver ends with the Sonic hedgehogs being beaten by Goku, Vegeta and Trunks. Vegeta and Shadow's fight was later released as a bonus episode. A downplayed example: The ending of Waddle Dee vs. Goomba features Bowser and king Dedede playing tennis, but is presented as a sequel hook. M. Bison vs. God Rugal ends with an ominous preview of Cyber Akuma.

In Batman vs. Iron Man, the very-much human Batman is able to repeatedly tank laser blasts and solid blows from the cybernetically-enhanced Iron Man, as well as several massive explosions — upgrading him from Badass Normal to Charles Atlas Superpower-levels of durability. Even moreso when he outright wins.

Forgot About His Powers
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_650a309b
comment
Forgot About His Powers: As a result of the "No research" clause, many characters do not use the full extent of their abilities and lose fights they might have otherwise won. Word of God is that the versions of the characters used for the battles depend on what sprites are available. Meta Knight for example, got hit particularly hard by this in Meta Knight vs. Zero. He's forbidden from using any of his moves and abilities from both the main Kirby series and Super Smash Bros beyond his basic swordplay, despite him still using the same voice and appearance as from the latter and official sprites definitely being available for at least some of his special moves, such as his Mach Tornado and Dimensional Cape.

Downplayed version in Bowser Jr vs Metal Sonic; Mecha Sonic interrupts right when the announcer says "Fight!", cutting it off and replacing it with "Here Comes A New Challenger!".

Adaptational Badass
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_736d791f
comment
Adaptational Badass: While nearly all of the characters featured in the series are exceptional badasses, Bowser takes the cake for managing to destroy the Super Mario Bros. Z incarnation of Mecha Sonic, who, to keep it short, single-handedly destroyed Mobius and slaughtered everyone short of Sonic, Shadow, and Eggman effortlessly, not to mention leveling Yoshi's Island and horribly curb-stomping all who opposed him. Meruem was already incredibly powerful and nearly unstoppable in Hunter × Hunter. How does he get a boost? By delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle to Cell in arguably the most one-sided fight in all of One Minute Melee. In Batman vs. Iron Man, the very-much human Batman is able to repeatedly tank laser blasts and solid blows from the cybernetically-enhanced Iron Man, as well as several massive explosions — upgrading him from Badass Normal to Charles Atlas Superpower-levels of durability. Even moreso when he outright wins. Mario vs. Sonic is another example compared to the original DEATH BATTLE! between them; not only does Mario put up an even fight against Sonic despite neither of them using their power-ups, but he straight up wins against him. Endermen in Minecraft are mooks (granted, Elite Mooks) that generally attack by teleporting and making melee contact with the player. Here, one is shown to have far more combat capability by fighting on par with Slender Man, being able to grab the environment as a weapon, throwing Slender Man around and smashing him through trees. Still wasn't enough against Slenderman.

In the melee between Shovel Knight and Meta Knight, Meta Knight is acting very oddly for his normal characterization. Meta Knight is normally stoic and follows a Code of Honor — here, Meta Knight is itching to pick a fight with Shovel Knight, and initiates the fight despite the latter's protests against it. This is your first clue that this is not Meta Knight.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: The reason the animator gave as to why some versions of some characters — like early Shippuden Naruto and Sasuke — were used over others is because sprites of the later, more powerful versions and their abilities aren't readily available or are non-existent, and a lot of time and/or money they don't have would be needed to create brand new custom sprites.

comment
Back from the Dead: There are characters that get a second chance at glory after losing their matches in Death Battle, and even within the series itself — most notably, Batman and Meta Knight returned for future matches and won after they unambiguously died in their first appearances. Most notably, Akuma and Kenpachi have fought each other three times, with each subsequent battle having them holding back less and less.note Akuma won all three. Similarly, Sephiroth and Vergil have battled twice.note Vergil won the first fight, and the second bout had both fight to a draw.

Throw the Dog a Bone
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_98576799
comment
Throw the Dog a Bone: Bowser vs. Eggman is this to the Mario fanbase to some extent, since that franchise's characters always lost to Sonic Characters in DEATH BATTLE! until Donkey Kong vs. Knuckles. On a more meta level, the fight is a tribute to Alvin-Earthworm and the fans of Super Mario Bros. Z, which was still canceled at the time. What fan of that series didn't want to pretend it was still a thing, if only for 60 seconds? And an even bigger homage to Super Mario Bros. Z ? Bowser Jr. Vs. Metal Sonic, the sequel of sorts to Bowser Vs. Eggman, has Mecha Sonic show up, DECIMATE Metal, and fight Junior in his place. Yes, an actual SMBZ character fighting on the show. It's as much of a love letter as it sounds. On the other hand, some Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic fans would put this under They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot for this reason.

Take That!: The title of Saitama vs. Superman's theme is No Limit Fallacy, which is a jab at the Hyper Gauge animators' former employers and their infamous analysis of Superman. In Bill Cipher vs. Sans, Bill remarks that Sans is overrated and that the vocal fandom of Undertale in particular is having a profoundly negative effect on the game's appeal. Though at least part of it may have been out of irritation at the Annoying Dog flattening him with the Hat of Discipline to stop him from killing Sans.

Nonstandard Character Design: Gets a bit of this, as the characters the series portrays come from different franchises. Probably the biggest example of this is Peacock vs BB Hood, Ibuki vs Valentine, and Painwheel vs Decapre. Peacock, Valentine, and Painwheel's hand-drawn animation looks especially jarring when put side-by-side with BB Hood, Ibuki, and Decapre's 16-bit style. Averted in Shantae vs. Filia, where both characters got custom hand-drawn sprites to more closely resemble each other's style, depending on the scene.

Shout-Out
 1 Minute Melee (Web Animation) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Some of the moves in Link's battle with Sora are similar to the ones in his battle with Pit in Palutena's Super Smash Bros. trailer. In the joke Ben vs. Craig battle, right after the person at the beginning of the short watches the conclusion of Goku vs. Superman, one of their portraits (aside from a Dragon Ball Z one) is an anthro Pinkie Pie with an ice cream cone. The finishing blow in Round One of "Little Mac vs. Ippo Makunouchi" is reminiscent of Glass Joe's KO scenes from Punch-Out!! for the Wii, even using the same sound effect. Likewise, the way Ippo punched Mac into the ropes and tied him up in them about halfway through is reminiscent of how his opponent knocked out Aran Ryan in the same game. The opening to "Captain America vs. Guile" has Guile entering the scene like it's a level of Metal Gear Solid V. In Shovel Knight vs Meta Knight, the shovel blade planted into a pile of burning skulls brings to mind strong Dark Souls imagery. Scott seems to have taken moves from more than just video games in his episode.

Zero vs. Meta Knight is likewise extremely one-sided in favour of Zero. Not helped by the fact that Meta Knight's forbidden from using any of his special abilities and techniques beyond his basic swordplay (Despite using his voice and appearance from the Super Smash Bros. series), an unusually-bloodthirsty and psychotic Zero pretty much stomps him throughout. Meta Knight is literally only able to get a few hits in before the Maverick Hunter brutally and gleefully murders him, despite Zero's usual outright refusal to kill living beings.

Determinator: Kenpachi Zaraki earns this for having the sheer tenacity and power to go toe-to-toe with the incredibly powerful Akuma three times in a row, and being completely nonchalant about it. Although he loses all three battles against his opponent, Kenpachi's still able to put up a good fight each time, and even came close to killing Akuma in his Oni form in the last confrontation they had before having the Shun Goku Satsu performed on him, so props to the guy for that, at least.

This happens again in "Meta Knight vs. Shovel Knight". After an unusually-vicious Meta Knight defers Shovel Knight, he prepares to finish off his downed opponent with a Sword Beam — only for another Meta Knight to teleport in and stop him, before soundly defeating him in combat to protect Shovel Knight. The first one is subsequently revealed to be the evil Dark Meta Knight in disguise, and the second one is the real Meta Knight, who gets subsequently credited with the overall win.

Played With in Bill Cipher vs. Sans. Although most of the fight ends up being a huge stomp in Sans' favour thanks to his telekinesis and Gaster Blasters, Bill Cipher still wins by pausing time right at the last second and slapping Sans once — giving the impression that Bill himself was just toying with him.

Exact Words: Bowser Jr. vs Metal Sonic, just not the current or canon one. the title "GOKU VS SONIC?" implies that Goku won't fight Sonic in the episode. Turns out, this isn't because Sonic is KO'd in the first two seconds of the match, but because it was not Goku, but a clone accidentally created by Goku and Gohan during a training session that was shown in the episode.

Simiarly, the April Fools' Day episode of Goku vs. Sonic ended with both characters defeated: Sonic is knocked unconscious 2 seconds into the fight while Goku, who had defeated Kirby, Godzilla and the Avengers, is killed by Saitama.

Big Damn Heroes: After the rematch between Akuma and Kenpachi ends, Yachiru carts the unconscious Kenpachi — who was drifting down a river of lava — away to recuperate. "Scorpion vs. Ghost Rider" starts with Scorpion about to finish off Ken, who fought Scorpion to avenge Ryu's death in the Death Battle episode. Ghost Rider then intervenes by wrapping his chain around Scorpion's neck, pulling him over, and socking him in the face, allowing Ken time to get clear of the fight. At the end of "Bowser Jr. vs. Metal Sonic", Bowser showing up to rescue Bowser Jr. after his brutal beating at the hands of Mecha Sonic, moving him safely away from the fight before turning to engage the monstrous mecha himself for attacking his son. "Meta Knight vs. Shovel Knight" ends with Meta Knight attempting to finish off the downed Shovel Knight with a Sword Beam — which, as a heroic invidual with a strong code of honour, seems very Out of Character for him. It's at which point the real Meta Knight teleports in to stop him, revealing that the one who had fought beforehand was the evil Dark Meta Knight, before quickly destroying his Mirror World counterpart to save Shovel Knight.

Samus viciously fighting Mega Man without a good reason to. It's revealed after the fight that it wasn't her, but the SA-X taking on her form. The real Samus shows up afterward to help Mega Man put it down for good.

Would Hit a Girl: Kim Kaphwan vs. Juri Han; albeit in Kim's case, it's in self-defense. Mega Man vs. Samus Aran. Sakuya Izayoi vs. Dio Brando. Alice Margatroid vs. Sasori. Samson, Filia's hair-parasite definitely counts in Shantae vs. Filia. Mob vs. Tatsumaki; although the latter started it. Ruby Rose vs. Spider-Man; Frank West decides to try to make a buck off of that.

Continuity Lockout: Saitama Vs. Superman is a sequel to Goku Vs Sonic?!. That said, the latter was uploaded to a different channel.

Faking the Dead: We don't see it until the next season, but Dio Brando survived. Quite handily, in fact.

Running Gag: People getting lost in the same forest. It all comes to a head in the Season 4 Debut, where Luffy, Zoro, and Ichigo all try to get out of the forest together. And even then, it doesn't stop others form getting lost as well.
