As an honest-to-God _Plants vs Zombies_ fan, I can confirm I prefer the Michael Jackson version of the Dancing Zombie over the 1970s disco version any day; Not just because it's the original, but also because it feels like Popcap _actually_ put Michael Jackson himself in the game. Also, I agree with your Backup Dancer opinion; It's so ironic! The original is based off the backup dancers from the music video of Michael Jackson's song "Bad", and the zombie is bad. However, they _can_ be good under proper circumstances; If you're playing the _I, Zombie_ level _ZomBoogie,_ they can take the Chomper bullet for the Dancing Zombie.
Football Zombies aren’t that annoying. in the night levels, you can use a Hypno-Shoom to hypnotize the Football zombie since they have high health and fast speed, and in the day levels, if you have a TorchWood and some repeaters behind it, you won’t have a problem. In my opinion, it should be in S-Tier
I was trying to think of a reason why it’s not S-tier. I did say in the video that it COULD be S-tier. The reason it’s not is because the normal zombie is just exponentially faster than everything else in the game. So when it came down to the decision, the football is really good, just not as regular zombies.
@@Sasquash19 “The reason it’s not is because the normal zombie is just exponentially faster.” Yeah, good point. The Football zombie still is really good tho
I suggest waking up the Doom Shroom first then placing the Squash so that it could kill the Garg at the same time and you dont have to deal with the imp
That’s usually what we do. The doom also is large enough that we usually don’t have to deal with the imp. The issue is that if you make even a slight mistake, you could be losing upwards of 30 seconds.
Tried doing more dedicated speedrun strats lately instead of a blend between causal and speedrun (setting Potato Mines further back to build sun, etc.) and I get why Pole-vaulters are ranked so low. They can just ruin an entire lane sometimes. Can't assume that a plant to stall them will work unless I place it a tile ahead either.
Great vid!! I would like to see a speedrun tip to beginners, (or maybe like bow to be consistently fast at mouse cuz i suck lol) Edit: I actually encountered the Yeti in Pogo Party, you might say you can kill it instantly cuz I have Squash and Imitater Squash. But my instas are on cooldown, so that costs me a ton of time. I remembered I uploaded it, but its BAD quality lol.
@@Sasquash19 for some reason, i practice that on Seeing Stars (No Sun Plants). Just practicing mouse precision with Puffs (when Bucketheads spawned on a vulnerable area).
I feel like the ratings could have also been like how strong the zombies are. How hard they are to counter. How much of challenge they bring to the player.
But the mobile version of Dancer zombie moves as fast as michael jackson on old version of pvz,and and even reach closer to my cob cannon at the 6th column which is pretty annoying, that is why i still prefer to playon PvZ Gotty PC than on mobile version.
Ladder definitely has a forward head box because at first it's not where the zombie itself is it's worth a ladder is if you're using a straight shooter
I'd probably switch balloon zombie to b or C the reason because in nighttime especially when you're doing a no sunflower run balloon zombie is your worst enemy 4-3 isn't that bad but 4-4 and 4-9 are the problems your rolling the dice for a 16.4 chance of getting the zombie in a row with a lawn mower and because of the run were sunflowers are not allowed you have only 57 and you can't see through the Fog you are basically playing pvz blindfolded halfway in a normal any%/100% speedrun your best bet to will be getting a balloon zombie and it for example for survival
Micheal Jackson was the original dancer. They changed the model when he died. The Micheal Jackson dancer is part of the original 2009 release. The dancer you’re familiar with is from the 2010 Game of The Year edition (which is the version everyone likely plays anyway).

Disco zombie is S tier. he dances, he's groovy, he's one of the most useful in the I. Zombie puzzle, he dominates any non piercing zombie. and He throws down a disco party every time he spawns!!!
last thing i expected to hear is "Michael Jackson is slightly faster than the Dancer"
"i hate miners"
"I would rather have dancers than miners"
@@itsfoppe if miners were actually good for speedruns then....
"I hate minors" - Sasquash, 2023
I think it would've been more concerning if he had said "i love minors"
Honestly as someone with 0 knowledge, and very little interest in pvz speedrunning, this was great, I understand how waves work and that was about it.

This may not make the best video, but a world mechanics ranking would be really cool from a speedrunner.

Is it bad that I got the joke instantly?
There was a glitch in my game.
I'm just playing in pool level and the 1st wave has a Yety zombie
Did you know the Flag zombie In vs mode Technically is the one who makes the big wave
I’m glad that miners aren’t good for speed runs. If they were you’d have to say something that would sound very controversial out of context

Mouse precision and accuracy comes with practice! If I had to recommend a category for it, either any% or Normal Survivals, to increase it faster!

He forgot about one shoting zambonies with spike weed
Didn't forget, we just don't use spikeweed in speedruns (except bobsled bonanza)
have you ever thought about making videos on speedrunning strategies and how to do them?
I have yeah. I just didn’t know how many of you guys were interested in actually running the game

Since 2009!

Why do you think Yeti is much worse than buckethead? They both have high HP and low speed, and Magnet is not used so often in the game.
Now do pvz2 plants and zombies at the same time after the plants you do the zombies
Bucket heads are annoying like because the plants that Insta kill them take a long time to regenerate
That’s why we use chompers in speedruns. It has a fast recharge so it’s easy to spam.
Gargantuars should be in s, because of the 50% rule

what is 50% rule
It's basicly how you get the wave / waves to start I think
Zombies spawn in waves, if you kill 50% of the zombies the next wave spawns, speeding up the level.
Bro hate flag zombie than bucket zombie...💀
A flag zombie spawns an entire wave, a bucket head just has a lot of hp
