They did with giving Android 18 Energy Absorbtion, which she's only had in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1/2. Android 17 and 18 were new androids with perpetual energy sources, so they didn't require one like Dr.Gero and his earlier creations did.
Oh wow, this thread takes me way back. I'm surprised you continued working on these sprite sets after so long. I hope you make enough progress to complete it this time, tons of great work done so far, keep it up!
DBZ fans won't care about Roshi, they only care when it's one of the saiyans or villains. They're not allowed to lose or else they will throw a fit. Buu vs Kirby was a particular example because it was two franchises with fans that can't accept not being the strongest.

DBZ fans threw a fit when Android 18 won against Captain Marvel because she didn't win hard enough, and accused Screwattack of hating DBZ and being biased against the character because they "downplayed" her strength in a fight that was already being presented as a one-sided curb stomp.
FFS, DBZ fans threw a fit about the Naruto vs Ichigo fight because the math they used to calculate Ichigo's top speed accidentally implied in a secondhand fashion that Ichigo maybe might be slightly faster than a DBZ character in certain instances. It's insane.
Would you have liked it if in a fight between Batman and Spider-Man, Spider-Man suddenly used Carnage powers without it being mentioned previously? They did something similar with Android 18. They gave her both forms of Energy Absorption. Neither of which she had. In and of itself that wouldn't have been an issue, but it was the linchpin for how she won the fight in the video. Do I still think she would have won without it? Yes. I do. But i'm not happy about if it they fudge details. I don't see how that's an unfair thing to ask for.
Similar thing with Kenshiro vs Jotaro. In Kenshiro's universe, people without pressure point training can still mitigate the effects by having high enough resistance or "battle aura". I personally think the fact Jotaro's battle spirit was physically manifested into a being would be a good enough qualifier, but that wasn't taken into account. (unlike the OMM video which did exactly that)
Look at it this way. It's like someone has a shotgun a rifle and a pistol. They're all guns, but a pistol is not a shotgun. All Mobile Suits in the series are Mobile Suits, but not all Mobile Suits are Gundam. Looking back over the video, the year given 2179 seems a bit off. The actual begging of the Universal Century has always been murky but that exact year feels like it was pulled out of thin air. But it is true that MSG is supposed to be a space opera fiction version of our world as it makes several references to it's history, such as the "middle ages" dictator Hitler.
I'm hoping this doesn't turn out like the Android 18 vs Ms. Marvel video where I agree with the outcome but the details on both sides get horribly overlooked. Android 18 can't absorb energy!
Well the question is how deep into the lore you wanna go here. The term itself "Gundarium Alloy" was propaganda for during/after the One Year War. The original name was Lunar Titanium alloy, which wasn't just a replacement or substitute for Titanium, it was actually much, much stronger. Scaled up Machine Gun fire was 100% totally useless while Rocket Launchers would "only" smack the Gundam around. Anything above that was still dangerous to the unit though.
I don't think that reaction time is as one-sided as you think. One of the issues in the original Gundam series is that Amuro's budding Newtype powers also came with absurd reaction speed. He actually started to break his Gundam because he could take manual control so quickly that the Gundam's frame was damaged over time. [Most combat in early Gundam is automated to a large degree, with manual override controls for more precise actions]
He had to get an upgrade later on so that the Gundam's frame could keep up with his manual control.
Well if ScrewAttack does it's usual shtick of "anything relevant is relevant" then G1 Optimus himself had a Matrix in Beast Wars. It was the same Optimus as Gen 1 but they were in a time paradox, blah blah.
Anyway, what kind of weapons does Optimus have? In Mobile Suit Gundam, Amuro has to know what weapons he needs before heading out into battle but in various video games he simply has all of his weapons at once. He's got
Vulcan Cannons Beam Rifle Hyper Bazooka x2 Hyper Hammer (giant flail) Beam Saber Beam Javelin and Super Napalm, packs he can throw around and detonate manually.
Weakness to Fire and high frequency/really loud sound is just an inherent weakness of the Symbiote species.

But yeah, this fight was pretty much one-side from the get-go. Carnage is a pretty serious threat for sure, but he's been bested by many people with feats far smaller than his own, such as Spider-Man. He never really had a chance in this fight.
The big question for the next fight is if Amuro's Newtype ability is compatible when fighting against a sentient robot. His spatial awareness doesn't work like a spidey-sense, it's based on reading the emotions and intentions of those around you and reacting in response. Essentially, a rock falling on him vs a person throwing a rock. Would his Newtype powers be able to sense the intentions and feelings of a robot?
