Elgb's "'BRAAAAIIIINNNNNSSSS!!!!" 'EDGES!!!

Standard: I'm giving this one to the Zombies. The only advantage that the Infected has is their aggression and speed, but I don't think they'll be smart enough to use them to their advantage. An infected's running speed is only effective when they're cahsing someone, but against an opponent who doesn't run away they'll be utterly useless. The Zombies maybe sluggish, but they can take more hits than the nimble infected. If both undead come face to face (which they will obviously) the more durable Zombies would come out on top. EDGE: Zombies

Hard Hitter: The Charger is basically stronger, faster, larger and more durable than the football zombie, who by the way isn't really that different from a normal zombie. EDGE: Infected

Exploder: Jack in the Box easily. Boomer's bile isn't isn't really that lethal. While it can be used to attract other zombies to the poor sod he's puked into, it's actually a bad idea since it will attract them to a zombie that can explode. If all infecteds end up ganging on a jack in a box then they're toast. EDGE: Zombies

Sneaky One: This is arguably a tough one to decide on. The Hunter has the advantage of range and power, and he also has the ability to pin down his enemies defenceless on the ground. The Digger on the other hand is more durable, and if his enemies can't attack him when he's on the ground. Though in the end, I have to choose durability over speed. The Hunter's jumping ability is cool and all, but it can't attack the Digger if he's still digging underground. By that time he sees him it's all too late as the Digger comes out of nowhere and pummels him. Besides, a pickaxe beats claws everytime. EDGE: Zombies

Strange One: The Jockey is sneaky and all, but he severely lacks power. Even if he latches onto a zombie it won't gaurantee a kill since, well it can only do minor damage, and worse is that zombies are more durable than the jockey is used to facing. Even if the Jockey manages to latch on, Micahel Jackson... I mean the Dancing Zombie can just call up another to take its place. Eventually, the sheer durability will be too much for the jockey and he will be forced to let go, to which the zombies would eventually gang up on him through their sheer numbers. EDGE: Zombies

Mini-Boss: Uhm yeah well, I have to give this to the Robo Cone Zombie. I like the witch and all, and her long claws and sheer ferocity will make mincemeat out of any zombie dumb enough to disturb her. But the Cone Zombie is encased in a steel armor which I doubt the Witches' claws can penetrate. The only way for her to beat him is that she breaks the glass and swipes at the zombie in his face. But the Zombie Cone on the other will not have this kind of problem and he can freely damage the Witch wouthout any hindrance. EDGE: Zombies

Ranged: Smoker easy. The catapult zombie may have the range advantage, but his basketballs lack the power and lethality to kill. The smoker can jsut use his long tongue to drag the catapult zombir away from his vehicle and rip him apart. EDGE: Infecteds

Support: I have to give this one to the Spitter due to her versatility. The Wizard zombie's power is impressive, he can only do this once before recharging. Besides that he doesn't have any other means of attack. The Spitter can spit her bile from a farther distance, and while it can't turn anyone to sheep, it will burn through any zombies it comes into contact with. Unlike the Wizard, the Spitter can also do melee, and if she ever dies then her bile can be used to create a large pool which will destroy any foolish zombie that walks into it. EDGE: Infecteds

Big Bad: Both giant undeads can unleash a hell of a lot of power that can pulverize any average human being. However, besides power only the Tank offers speed between the two. In terms of durability both are equal. In terms of strength, the Tank's huge mass isn't really that far from the Gragantua's telephone pole club. But in terms of range however, the Tank's use of debris and pavement as projectiles is superior than the imp the Gargantua is using. EDGE: Infecteds

Deadliest Warrior?

Damn at first, I was all going for the Zombies since they're way harder to kill and are tremendously terrifying up close. But in the end I just have to go with the Infecteds. Speed isn't a game cahnger here since both dumb groups will end up facing each other in a melee. While the Zombies does have the upper hand since they're more durable, the Infected does have the advantage in range, and when you're a slow sluggish zombie than that's bad news. Almost all the special infected offers range attacks, not only that but these attacks are pwoerful enough to damage the zombies overtime before they can get close. The Spitter's bile can burn through a ton of zombies as they approach, and the Tank's sheer strength adn boulders will barrel through and kill hordes off them from afar. The zombies are tough and all, but you have to know that in the gam, it was range that eventually defeated them. And range is what the Infecteds here are packing.
