I find it a little difficult for the Krolp to even land any hits. As mentioned, their primary weapons (gravity and nuclear force) have longer recharge times. In my opinion, that recharge time will be the end of them.

The time it takes to recharge the special weapons can potentially be negated by the fact that there are two operators, but there isn't enough firepower individually to do much damage. The gravity gun is impressive--trapping homura in a miniature blackhole and keeping her occupied by gravity will definitely cause problems. But, knowing how she can survey her opponents in time-stop, it's likely she'll go after the gravity Krolp first. It's even worthy to note that unless she's really occupied to the point that she isn't in timestop, getting crushed won't be happening.

Four energy blasters together will make up for their lost firepower. Homura will have to simultaneously keep track of the energy (balls?) flying at her, as well the support troops that would lead to the final kill. One shot, and she'll be taken down. But she will win if the right strategy is used. Which, yes... happens to be surprise. This will no doubt this will be a long distance battle, at first. One second the Krolp are patrolling an area, and the next second there are AT-4s and anti-ship missiles yelling halleluiah. Her first strike is guarenteed because of time stop. This means she can target whoever she wants first, and it will most likely be one of the support Krolps. Granted, the de-atomizer may stop the projectiles, but it's re-charge is low, and if the projectiles are sent in waves--it's useless.

I think in one timestop, much much more than two squads of men and material will be used. More than enough material for one Krolp.

Deadliest Warrior:

The only reasonable ways Homura loses this is because she gets stuck in the blackhole. To hit her they need her to stay still, and the blackhole has that potential. But again, just to reiterate, it's hard to believe they'll get the shot off. The next is their sheer numbers. If Homura simply gets overwhelmed by their size and numbers, the gravity, the pressure--she will lose. All it takes is one mistake.

But if she keeps her distance and keeps a level head, this battle should be short. They'll get cocky. Get caught off gaurd with a pre-emptive strike. Struggle to find where the projectiles are coming from, even if it's only seconds. Lose the support troops. And lose. With time stop, and using surprise to her advantage, I don't see this fight lasting longer than two minutes.

My vote, is Homura Akemi.
