Hey everyone, this is XxZackAttack27xX from youtube. None of you most likely have not heart of me, but i'm one of the animators for One Minute Melee, and DeathBattle from the ScrewAttack channel.

Introductions aside, lets get straight to the point. I noticed that there's a distinct lack of fan animation for Skullgirls(I counted.. 5 "animations" in total), and I want to add more to that! So I thought what better place to show off the girls(and two guys) in action than on a web-series that's focused around fighting?

Now here's the part where you users come in. One Minute Melee is a series where we take highly requested match ups, and have the two duke it out in.. you guessed it. One Minute. Now, since there's very few fan animations in the skullgirls community I wanted to ask you guys out of all the SG characters, who would you guys like to see fight the most? Just to make you guys happy. : ] You can even suggest some match-ups, if you feel like it. Though, it would make it much easier for us if you posted the match-up requests in the youtube comments section of any One Minute Melee episode.

I must warn you though, this is a 50-50 chance of the episode actually becoming a reality. Why? Because other communities would rather see other characters fight eachother. "OOOO I WANNA SEE BATMAN FIGHT GOKU HE WOULD DEFINENTLY WIN!!!!!!!" "I WANT APPULJEK 2 FAIT DAH TREE IN KIRBY!!" I mean I can't argue with requests like these! Joking aside, the demand for something like.. idunno, spiderman vs batman would most likely be more requested than a Ms. Fortune vs Felicia. But hey, you guys could change that!

So if you're willing to take few minutes of your time to click on a poll, and check out an episode of OMM to see if it's worth typing a few words over, please go through with it. tbh im thirsty as fuck to animate Squigly fight someone. :/ http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/73a2d9482ea68ce20eecc8f9bd19764b Like, reeeeaaallly thirsty. This is a random animation I have made, btw. This won't be in an One Minute Melee episode.

Also, here's the playlist to One Minute Melee if you're curious about it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY_6uAtgkYXmXFl-zzZ0wQErGi4AbgSkn

Thank you guys for your time! I hope I didn't break any rules with this thread. If I have, my sincerest apologies. I'll take the warning.

Lastly, Beowolf and Robo Fortune are not in the poll due the following reason: We could not find the sprites for them.
 
Oh One Minuite melees are pretty hype. Unlike Death Battles the result isn't based on any research so the winner is more unpredictable.


This was probably my fav episode just because that "one minute" fight got stretched much longer due to time freeze schenaigans stopping the clock. Voted for Filia because she is the main protagonist of Skullgirls and she would be an interesting matchup to another hair based fighter such as Milia Rage of Guilty Gear.
 
I voted Cerebella mostly because favorite character however I will be happy to see whoever gets into One Minute Melee hopefully this episode will get made.

You claim to be part of the animation crew of the One Minute Melee show. Is the animation link that you have given in this post yours, because there is no information about this GingerZack. There is also no information about you, so this having me a little bit concerned. Is there any possible way for you to prove to us that you have worked for DeathBattle and OMM, like you have claim. Cause I kinda want to know, just to be safe.

Edit: So I went onto ScrewAttack's website seeing if you were part of the animation team of DiMMFX or Death Battle and there was no mention of your name. I did however find find the names of three animators by the names of Derek, Mali, and Vash.

while it's true he doesn't have any proof he's an animator for deathbattle/omm...he's not doing anything besides asking what people would like to see on OMM? the worst case scenario here is that you're telling a random person who you'd like to see in an online fan series, not like it's a risky situation, what are you trying to be safe about

Just from a bit of research before I made my first post.

https://www.youtube.com/user/XxZackAttack27xX/videos

This is his YT channel I found when I looked up the provided username in the OP on YT. Videos on playlist is full of animations and this one is notable


Which implies he was involved in a few SA animation videos from DB! and OMM such as Ryu vs Scorpion, Batman vs Captain America, etc.

Again I looked up the credits in the actual SA videos such as Batman vs Captain America


where if you read the Vid description it indeed mentions that Zack was involved with the animation [which also provides above YT channel link] which means the credibility seems legit.

None of this of course guarantees that this OP [just like we can't guarantee that we are ourselves on the internet without going though hoops] is that zack though and could be an imposter, but I kind of doubt OP would go through that trouble.

It also helps the credibility further that the posted Squigly animation was uploaded [with a handle that still has "zack"] like 11 hours ago and seems to be a similar style with his other animations on top of that so yeah.

I was not at all expecting this.

But Sakuya Izayoi vs. Dio Brando is honestly one of my favorite youtube videos period and I've been enjoying a lot of the later OMM's too.

I voted Peacock because I've wanted Peacock vs. B.B. Hood since I first started watching Death Battle back when Ben was animating and before OMM was even a concept.

I apologize, it turns I was being a little paranoid. I'm sorry.
It's alright. Its understandable how you would think the way you have, I haven't shown evidence of me actually being.. ME.

Here, let me set in stone that i'm an actual animator of OMM/DB.

Also thank you @Number 13 for covering me while I was busy at school. <3

Double thanks for those who have suggested match-ups! I'm getting pretty excited at the suggestions so far, keep 'em coming! sigh looks like squigly isnt getting any love :C
 
Damn, just looking at this gives me hype.
Voting for Big Band because he's the husbando he is undoubtedly a good-intentioned and wise fighter.

hmmmm... heh. alright, a Shinboi can never be too safe. I wonder what Band or Bella would have to face against... maybe Bella vs Potemkin? (nah they're too similar.) uh, Big Band vs Mango Sentinel?

OH oh, what about Bella vs Goro? Battle of the Arms. (It's Cheesy, I know)

Cerebella vs Goro would be an amusing matchup. Plus, Ultimate Showstopper would be cool to see as an X-ray move, if you decide to do it.

I voted Big Band...but part of me wants to go back and vote Filia.

I've had this stupid idea for a matchup of the School Girl fighters! So people like Filia, Sakura (SF), Heart Aino (Arcana Heart)...Nanase from UNIEL? I dunno. I find the idea amusing.

Big Band because if you don't use him
THEN THE TEAM OPPOSING YOUR FAVORITE TEAM WILL SCORE TOUCH THE BALL PUCK INTO THE GOALPOINT AND WIN SPORTSBALL

I'm honestly surprised that Bigband is currently winning with 14 votes. I thought Fillia/Cerebella would be winning, but hey if that's what you guys want I aint complaining. LMAO. We still got a few more days till the poll closes anwways. I think its tuesday (6/9/15) when it closes, so we'll wait and see.

Thank you all so much for your input. I really apreciate it. <3

For those who haven't voted yet, here's a handy guide on how to pick the objectively best character:
Step 1. Vote Peacock
Step 2. Great choice, congratulations!

That said, Peacock vs Guilty Gear's Faust would be RAD.
 
Filia vs Millia? The ultimate hair fight? =P Big Band vs Jotaro. =p

There's a bunch of options if we are going for archetype matchups between genres. But right now, I can only think of Beowulf vs Haggar

I honestly think Filia is the best choice not only because she's fairly representative of the game, but because of the nature of her available sprites. They're suited for the type of animations that you'll want to be putting together for a video like this. She's a fast, in your face, rush-down character with some interesting and varied sprites.

Even still, I voted for peacock cuz she's da best.
 
Really, if you wanted to go over the top, Peacock would be your best option since most of her assets are independent of her and you could animate a lot of things she's unable to do in-game.

Like, firing Lenny out of her gun or dropping every Level 3 item at once.

Tho I guess it mostly comes down to if you'd WANT to do that, or if you wanna try and represent the characters as faithfully to their source material as possible.

Peacock, free. She represents the game really well, and would also probably win her fight.
 
Remember to suggest matchups with your preferred in the actual YT comments too [I would suggest the OMM season finale episode comment section here since it's the latest OMM video]. DB!/OMM usually at the start of their videos show some screenshots of the YT comments about the specific matchups so it shows the viewers that there was some demand like example below.

I have preference on which SG character should be picked like anybody else, but honestly don't care who it is if a SG character just gets in period. Not just would it be an entertaining video [regardless who wins], but it would give some nice exposure to the game if your familiar with the SA following.

Thought about it for awhile, school girl brawl wouldn't have that Nanase chick from Uniel, probably go with Athena from her KoF13 design :v

Off to YT to suggest mah stupid waifu skewlgarl brawl thing :D
 
Holy Crap. When I checked this thread before going to sleep, Big band had 15 votes and peacock had 2. Today I wake up and Peacock has the most votes. I also had no idea the SGs community was this active. Guess I was completely wrong. I'm really excited to have one of the characters be in my show. (Y)
