I don't know if I'm allowed to vote (not being a member or anything) but here's what I think.

Z-saber vs. Spin Attack: From what I know of the two, the Z-saber and the spin attack are both relatively equal in power, but the thing is, the spin attack is more mobile, but it is also much more of a risk. If Metal tries to use it on Zero, it's basically throwing himself at the enemy, and the thing is, Zero has a sword. I don't care how strong you are, throwing yourself into a lightsaber type weapon makes yourself more vulnerable, especially since, unlike Metal, Zero could in theory use another weapon with the Z-saber, but Metal can't really combine anything else with his spin attacks. Edge: Zero

Buster Shot vs. Maximum Overdrive: So, let's compare the positives here. The Buster shot is more versatile, as it can use elemental attacks, charge attacks, and be combined with the Z-saber. The Maximum Overdrive increases metal's speed and can pierce practically anything, but leaves him weakened. But a problem here is that Metal is already faster than Zero. If he increases his speed with this attack, and becomes much more powerful, I don't see the Buster Shot stopping him, or Zero really being able to dodge it. Could he survive it, sure, but it would hurt much more than the Buster can, though Metal Sonic would be injured. Slight Edge: Metal Sonic

Shield Boomberang vs. Black Shield: Ok, I'm not gonna lie, this one seems a little one-sided to me. While the shield boomberang can reflect attacks, and I have no doubt that if it hit Metal, it would hurt, the Black shield makes Metal Sonic practically invulnerable, while the boomberang shield can't stop super powerful attacks or melee moves, which to me seem like Metal Sonic's main methods of attack. Edge: Metal Sonic

 Σ Blade vs. Metal Overlord:  When I looked at these two weapons, I noticed one thing. One of them is more effective against any of the other combatants moves besides the ultimate, and one is equally effective every time, but comes with a catch. Zero's  Σ Blade increases his range, reduces energy consumption, and destroys enemy barriers, such as the Black Shield or the energy output in Maximum Overdrive. However, Metal Overlord is not only familiar with Zero's moves, but it is also so large that I don't think the  Σ Blade will damage him too severely before he kills Zero. However, Metal Overlord requires time to become, and it also requires lots of debris. My question is this, would Zero kill Metal before he transforms? I don't know much about Zero, but from what I do know, once his other weapons don't stop the Maximum Overdrive or penetrate the Black Shield, he will use it, and it will kill metal before he can transform, even if he does analyze it. Edge: Zero

X-factors: I don't have anything new to add here, as the ones on the page seem legitimate. Edge: Zero

VERDICT: Zero wins this one, but it will be close. Zero is at something of a disadvantage at long range, but the problem is, Metal Sonic is a speed fighter who actually needs to take time to fully analyze opponents, meaning he will get in close, where Zero's blades give him the advantage. Also, since Zero is a little smarter than Metal (normally, as I don't think we're using Neo Metal Sonic except the Metal Overlord tranformation,) more experienced, and more skilled, he has more dvantages going in blind than Metal. Winner: Zero
