User blog comment:WanderingSkull/Shell Of The Dead: Koopa Troops vs. Zombies (PvZ)/@comment-5465602-20140331173117

I meant to post this yesterday, but some thing came up.

Anyway, BeastMan14's "We don't want zombies in the fort" edges

Standard: Koopa Troop. What standard koopas lack in lethality, they make up for in being damn near indestructible, alongside being smarter and having a significantly better defensive position, as opposed to having to work their way in like the zombies.

Steel Power: Koopa Troop, easily. Bucket zombies are fearsome for plants, but the more powerful plant types can bring them down without difficulty, and they still move at a snail's pace like their unguarded brothers. They're essentially zombies with helmets. Hammer bros are wielding a devastating one-hit kill weapon that can completely ignore the extra armor of the bucket, alongside flying around, boomerang style, and taking down any other nearby zombies.

Burning Zerg Rush: Zombies. This is a close one, and I almost called it even, but Football Zombies are fast enough, strong enough, and armored enough to shrug off most fire based attacks, and most projectile attacks, enabling them to tear straight through Fire zombies once they close the distance.

Air vs Earth: Zombies. The Digger zombies may lack real ways to take down flyers, but they'll be much more useful for infiltrating the fort and raising general hell against the Koopas before going down, while Paratroopers will get shot down relatively easy, or torn to pieces when it tries to swoop down and attack the horde.

Ranged mobility: Koopa Troop. The Magikoppa brings a lot more versatility, between cloning, teleportation, and magic, while the Catapult zombie is slow, and only really has basketballs to fire at the koopas.

Explosives: Zombies. The Jack-in-the-box zombie may not control it's detonation, but it's blast radius is significantly larger, and if it works it's way inside or near the fort, down goes the wall, making things much easier for its team. The Bombshell Koopa poses just as a large a risk to its team if something gets it near for the fort, and it's too slow to make a major impact.

Heavy Hitters: Koopa Troop. This is a close one, but Boom-Boom is faster and smarter than the Gargantuar, which can still be brought down by heavy fire or a cherry bomb or two, while Boom Boom's can match them in strength, while getting out of range of hits and pummeling them senseless.

Surprise: Koopa Troop, easily. Koopeleons wield a devastating camo ability, enabling them to take down zombies left and right with little risk, while the only ability the imps have is closing the distance on enemies, then promptly getting crushed after doing minor damage.

Deadliest Warrior: The Koopa Troops. Man, I really wanted to vote for the Zombies, because Plants vs Zombies is a fantastic game and the zombies are a tough foe, but the Koopa's are simply the superior warrior where it counts, outranging, outthinking and overpowering the zombies at every corner. Score: 600-400
