Pygmy Hippo's "Showbiz" Edges

Abilities:I don't think it's fair to say that Mettaton has more options, for attack yes, but in other categories he's lacking. He has literally no defensive or mobility options besides being able to keep fighting without his limbs which isn't even an ability while Ember McLain can fly, teleport away from attacks, turn invisible for stealth, and turn intangible to avoid attacks which admittedly might not work against the robot. While Ember relies on the crowd for her power, it's not like she doesn't have the means to avoid Mettaton's attacks and keep blasting him with her guitar. Edge:Ember

X-Factors:In Endurance, Ember McLain takes the edge as there's no way that being able to fight with grievous bodily harm is better than being able to heal it. In Versatility, Ember McLain takes the edge as while both have long and close range attacks she backs it up with previously mentioned abilities for defense and mobility. In Charm, Mettaton takes the edge as he doesn't have to focus on playing a song as he fights to keep up the momentum. Edge:Ember

Overall:I'm going against Tybalt for this one and giving this fight to Ember McLain for her more varied abilities and healing factor giving her better endurance. Not going to lie, Mettaton's attacks are going to be a pain in the ass for her to deal with as it's practically bullet hell but as I've said before, it's not like she can't dodge them. One might think that Ember's the worse off in Experience but I don't think Mettaton's ever fought anyone besides Frisk who wasn't even trying to kill him while Ember fought Danny Phantom who's an experienced ghost fighter and actually surpassed him at one point. Needless to say, I think Mettaton's going to have trouble stopping McLain's performance before she beats him.

Winner:Ember McLain
