Round 1, Match 2 results
I really like both of these characters. As such, I honestly tried to give them both a fair shot...but I just can't envision any way that Miss Melee doesn't come out the winner of this fight.
Jose was a tough dude...no question about it...but he's essentially just a brawler with a lot of heart. He's Rocky Balboa with nunchakas. True, several of the sites reference his "martial artist" skill...but that appears to primarily be thinking in terms of boxing.
While a solid boxer is nothing to sneeze at, this doesn't appear to be anywhere near the level of martial arts mastery we see in Miss Melee.
I also think we have to consider the difference in outcomes of Gangbuster's battle with Combattor (i.e., he got his spine broken) and Miss Melee's show-down with S.A.B.R. (i.e., she's roughed up, but ultimately victorious). Admittedly, however, Miss Melee got a critical timely assist from Kid Melee that saved her bacon...so I doubt you could make the case for MM strictly on the comparison of those who battles.
The dehydration limiter could've made a difference, but I'm going to engage in a little speculation and guess that the chi-force (or whatever Miss Melee tapped into to overcome S.A.B.R.) can also be applied to sustain her physical endurance for awhile. That doesn't seem too far afield of standard comic book lore, and since Gangbuster has nothing comparable to appeal to...I'm going to have to say "Congratulations, Miss Melee! You're going to the second round!"

Round 1, Match 3
Round One's third match pits a hero against a villain for the first time this season. Specifically, we want to know how Chesler's Golden Age Night Hawk (as depicted in All New Short Story Comics #1) would fare against Marvel's Cutthroat (as depicted in Captain America #395)
