Even ignoring speedrunning, there's something about it where the more you increase the difficulty of the game, the more valuable Chomper becomes. For example I playtested a PvZ1 mod that made the game a lot more difficult but otherwise kept the plant balance intact, and the combination of feeling the need to plant more sunflowers & armored zombies spawning more often than Instas recharges, actually made me spam Chomper unironically and it worked in some cases.
I do find it a bit annoying that the game both knows that people won't be using chomper, and also doesn't do much to convey how good they can be, even from a casual perspective. Quote from the tree of wisdom: "Chompers and Wall-nuts work exceedingly well together." Obviously trying to encourage players to work around the chewing time, but the thing is, *they don't work well together* at least, not in my expericance. A better piece of 'Chomper advice' they could've put on the tree of wisdom, in my opinion is something like: "You wanna know how I deal with the tougher zombies quick and easy? Emergency Chomper. They never see it coming..."
Funny thing is that chomper’s also really good in the console exclusive vs mode, despite having no changes. Because of how aggressive the mode is in high level play. Having someone who can take off most high health zombies with a 7 second recharge has it’s use, as well as being able to potentially use him as a deterrent to high health zombies due to the fast recharge. His viability is a matter of environment really, in aggressive environments like speedruns or versus mode are where he thrives due to the faster pace.
In a casual setting, Scaredy is overshadowed to death by Puff. Yeah, 25 sun for a Peashooter is extremely good where it matters, but how about 0 sun? In a speedrun, you want to plant shooters to fill up lanes FAST. So, pick BOTH Scaredy and Puff. Puff being free makes the process way easier. Plant Puff on one lane, Scaredy on another, etc. Early game gets way faster. Same idea revolved around for Cactus' case, a plant thought *the* worst in PvZ. Cactus does work on Roof's low surface, so maybe take that with Peashooter and Cabbage for cheap and fast planting. The whole idea is to reduce time spent recharging.
this reminds me of the three musketeers from clash royale, its not that these cards/plants are bad, but people just dont know how to use them efficiently and/or their playing style just don't really match up with the card/plant
3M is gud, bad cards are probably something like sparky, loved her, tried to make her work but she’s too niche! Niche is fine if she excels at certain things, but she don’t, has too many counters/rare circumstances to work, etc. just rip her
Never realized Chomper got this much hate, it's a fun concept of a plant and It's really fun. I play casually and I always saw it as more cost effective than other instant plants because it's a recharging instant kill so I could save sun for other stuff. A lot of levels I had a front line of wallnuts with chompers behind them and that generally served me well enough.
I do think a lot of chompers hate comes from people incorrectly comparing it to plants like peashooter, Instead of plants like squash. It’s an instant that functions like a non instant. It’s cost is almost entirely made up for as soon as it kills it’s second zombie which is very possible in speeding since you’re usually keeping the zombies off the front line. It’s honestly still useful in casual as an instant you use closer to your line since it’ll deal with the stronger zombies for you
Squash is 50 and can kill 2 at once if they are close enough together Chompper costs 150. 1 v 1 chomper is worse than squash by a lot. It's only because you can spam him that makes him useful.
@@doomed89squash's recharge makes him pointless yo use unless there are gargantuars. And even then, just use a freeze to let your normal shooters kill them
During my casual playthrough of PvZ, I always brought chomper because of its fast cooldown. The downside of it having a long attack cooldown is completely negated with the shovel. Just dig up the old chomper and place a new one!
Its mostly the fact that High health zombies don't appear often enough to the point you can't use any other small insta like Potato Mine or Squash And I doubt in a casual playthrough you spam Sunflowers So Chomper's cost becomes a problem Wasting 150 sun for 1 zombie that may not even be the one you want cause even if 2 zombies appear Chomper could eat the weaker one Thats why I think its not good High D tier at best for Casual cause It can work but its severely outclassed
I love your showing a casual perspective of why they would think Chomper is not their favorite. One thing to add that casuals don't consider chompers as instants.
I’ve always loved Chomper, used it mainly with Snow-Pea. The chilly lad would keep weaker zombies away while Chomper handles things like Football and the like. One of my all time combos.
i always play chomper. basically every level, i play chomper. everybody used to think i was stupid and just wasteful of sun, but then they watched me actually play and suddenly im a genius. its a great plant, and ive been training for speedrunning pvz because of it.
I never understood why no liked Chomper. It got me through the game very easily. Two rows of Chompers is just an impenetrable wall. Cool to see it be good in speedrunning.
Chomper is funnily enough the most important plant in the flash version where you face off against giga football zombies in endless mode. They can tank 2 squashes or cherries but chomper still eats them in one go.
Dude, i've never seen anything about pvz speedrunning. Chomper has always been my favorite plant so i'm here for that. Also thank you for the amazing video.
I always loved chomper not because I tought it was anything spectacular but because i really like the design, so 5 year old me picked chomper for every level in the game, chomper is still my favorite plant to this day!
Man. You really mentioned every PLUS fact that's so important about Chomper. Very good video, covers all of my thoughts about the Plant. Keep it up. Also, I really wonder what your opinion about Tall-Nut is...and, I wanna see you doing a Stream with only Pool Speedruns, but you're forced to use both Tall-Nut and Mime Tall-Nut. It might end up as a brand new type of Speedrun idk 😁 have a good one bro!
I remember using 2 rows of chompers and just a bunch of garlics and ice shrooms for slowing down zombies with 1-2 rows of spikeweed if theres zambonis. Good times
I was surprised to see this in my recommended, I didn't know there was such a hate for the Chomper. I'm casual as ever, and I always like to use chompers whenever I can because of their cool down. I guess not everyone plants 2-3 full collumns of sunflowers as a minimum for one flag levels lmao.
I stumbled across your videos right when I was replaying pvz, for the first time in many years. As a man who rarely plays any video games I don't understand the point of speedrunning a game that's a decade old, let alone competing in it, and yet I found your explanation of star plant very interesting. I tried using the strategy with 4 instant plants and a star plant on a roof level and my God how interesting it was! For that I am grateful!
One of my favourite casual strategies for adventure mode pool use to be to fill the land lanes with spikeweed, then the pool with chompers. I always felt that it was convenient for trying to get the ambush zombies out of the way quickly
I feel like it's like Mag Grass in the sense that it's a direct conversion from sun to damage (like creeps20) has said. it's also like, idk, a fast-recharging instant with an upside, so it's not actually bad ...
When I was younger and started playing this game for the first time I used chomper quite often actually even tho I wasn't speed running and he was actually quiet helpfull because I mostly the nut wall in front of him which really helps him out and since then I started loving chomper and using him more often even when not speedrunnig
Chomper is my favorite plant for this exact reason- he’s so unique that you have to play around him, either by changing his role (making him like a cherry bomb) or by changing your loadout to work with him
I am not a speed runner but atleast in plants vs zombies 1, chomper is a very good plant defensive play-styles(where you focus on getting sun producers, ranged plants and defensively oriented plants onto the lawn quickly) do to being able to draw out the early part of the wave long enough to get you defences and sun producers up more easily.
Well for a long time like a couple of years I was into agreement that yes chomper is a bad plant but my heart changed and it's one of my favorite plants if not my favorite! Because I'm a fan of Sonic I'm also a fan of plants that make plants versus zombies go faster. Because usually Sonic is a platformer that takes around a minute to be to each act. And chomper helps make a 10-minute long level into a 2 minute long level
I feel left out as a casual player who likes chomper, it can target zombies standing on the other side of a wallnut. That's bonkers, and basically marks them as a better alternative to the potato mine.
I had no idea so many people were down on chomper. Im a total casual but chomper was like THE central plant of my run through the game. Tbf i like to stall and use instas, so chomper fit perfectly for my playstyle
My favourite strat in PvZ is spamming Sun flowers/shrooms and Potato Mines, and it really made Chomper shine in Zombotany. It even takes out Tallnut zombie, which tanks 2 insta plants
I just would add to this video about the way waves progress in PvZ 1 and 2 For the moment a zombie arrives, a certain timer starts and the next wave will arrive after that amount of time passes, OR if you depleted a certain percentage of the total amount of hp of the last wave that appeared. This was probably implemented so the player would never be awkardly waiting for more zombies. That's why Chomper and other instas taking down zombies faster allows for less time spent on the level. Chomper specifically benefiting from this due to it's fast recharge and cutting out a large chunk of the wave's hp by eating the strongest zombies
My friend's favourite plant is the chomper, even though he isn't that good, the nostalgia of playing pvz and using chomper, for me I get that he is kinda niche casually, but still I like him too
I unironically used chomper during both adventures all the time, to me, it was the most badass plant despite his flaws, and it's been my favorite ever since.
ok so this one time i was doing a pvz challenge (to try and upload something longer than 3 minutes) where i could only use instas and i straight up had to ban chomper halfway through because it was dealing with everything extremely efficiently. like two rows of chompers was pretty much an instant win and that definitely make me appreciate chomper more (then i had to scrap the video because i found out someone already had the same idea years ago)
Today me and my friend did some myth busting and we said can Chomper eat the pult zombie and it blew our minds cuz it's the first time I've seen it and we also tried it out on Zomboni and bobsled and boy it made me like Chomper even more
casual players wouldn't be dunking on chomper though, i remember all those years ago when i first started playing pvz, chomper was really cool to me, i put chomper in a seed slot a lot.
I played PVZ around 4-6 years old. It was my favourite and best plant for night levels lol. But I was using chomper against Bucketheads too and as a front liner with Walnuts. Edit: he was also my defensive plant so I could ignore polevaulters and use Chomper as my Defense against them instead of Tallnut.
Even when I was casually playing I always felt in the back of my mind that chomper was a great plant. I loved to get a few rows of chompers and double sunflowers and some added flaming pea spam just to salt the wound. I don't think this would constitute casual play though, because, as you said, all that casual players care about is what works and beats the level. I was experimenting far more than I was succeeding, and I think that could have been a third type of player to mention, because I most definitely was not speedrunning😂 As an experimental player, I say that chomper is a good plant. See what you can accomplish with chomper, and other lesser plants, yourself.
Well speedrunners community is a community where they sometimes regard dying as a good thing. Of course they will have different opinions to chompers compared to casual.
Thanks for all the support on this video guys! What plant should I talk about next?
cob cannon🦐
Tall-Nut 🥜
talk about snowpea lmaoo
How about imitater?
Magnet-shroom. It's one of my favorites.
chomper has the same case as guacodile in pvz2, many casuals dont get that they are both not a worse insta/peashooter, but a spamable insta
cost is a problem but if you have a good farm you can spam easy
But the fact that early wave in pvz2 is quite hard that you can't greed too much
@@daunderrated3106 for me it's the opposite, if i can't greed the early game enough, im doomed regardless
@@alricwengguac is cheaper than chomper and it’s a 50 sun meta so cost is even less of a problem
@@daunderrated3106you can?
Chomper eating Zomboni is the most cursed thing that won't fit into my mind
Try using it for bobsled bonanza. Sometimes you might catch it eating a whole bobsled at once
Well it’s not like the Zomboni won’t fit into the Chomper’s mouth
How do chompers fit zombonies in their mouths? 😂😂😂
It's so stupid that this idea never crossed my mind as possible before I saw it in a video
Chomper can eat a whole bobsled team at once, if they haven't left the sled yet.
Even ignoring speedrunning, there's something about it where the more you increase the difficulty of the game, the more valuable Chomper becomes. For example I playtested a PvZ1 mod that made the game a lot more difficult but otherwise kept the plant balance intact, and the combination of feeling the need to plant more sunflowers & armored zombies spawning more often than Instas recharges, actually made me spam Chomper unironically and it worked in some cases.

I do agree with this, the game doesn’t explain chomper’s role all that well.
This is probably a reason why chomper burrows in the shooter games.
It’s role is not only melee defense but also surprise attack

Yeah! I didn’t even talk about the vs mode but they are similar ideas!
Chomper is a living example of how we focus too much on the negatives instead of comparing the pros and cons.
Fax
People would've understood the plant if it was in fact an insta, not a normal one.
this whole video feels like what I write to make the word requirment for school essays
Don’t worry, the next video will be about several different things rather than just one plant.
Why tf people think that scaredy shroom is a bad plant?? He's literally a peashooter that costs 25 sun
Most mushrooms are cheaper than they deserve
Maybe because he still gets eaten even when he ducks.
then work around its downside of being scared by placing it in the back :v
In a casual setting, Scaredy is overshadowed to death by Puff. Yeah, 25 sun for a Peashooter is extremely good where it matters, but how about 0 sun?

so basically

My favourite strat in PvZ is spamming Sun flowers/shrooms and Potato Mines, and it really made Chomper shine in Zombotany. It even takes out Tallnut zombie, which tanks 2 insta plants
Loved the video, Chompy is indeed a really good plant for speedrunning and also kinda cute design!
Btw, why your 2-5 split is called "Horny Jail"?
bonk
Chompy?
Yes Chompy
You can name splits on Twitch as a channel point redemption, so a twitch chatter wanted to name it that XD
Yeah, that makes more sense now xDDDD
" Chomper is so bad with its 42 sec downtime "
" What downtime, Chomper is an insta plant "
😂
I just would add to this video about the way waves progress in PvZ 1 and 2
For the moment a zombie arrives, a certain timer starts and the next wave will arrive after that amount of time passes, OR if you depleted a certain percentage of the total amount of hp of the last wave that appeared. This was probably implemented so the player would never be awkardly waiting for more zombies.
That's why Chomper and other instas taking down zombies faster allows for less time spent on the level. Chomper specifically benefiting from this due to it's fast recharge and cutting out a large chunk of the wave's hp by eating the strongest zombies
The transition to conclusion/final thoughts was really loud. Really good information though!

I also like that chomper is an instant that isn't used immediately, like mines
Well speedrunners community is a community where they sometimes regard dying as a good thing. Of course they will have different opinions to chompers compared to casual.
This video was so insanely entertaining, thanks for this video bro.
Reasonable points aside, I just find it funny that Chomper can eat a fully operational vehicle whole in one bite
As a casual that uses 2 sunflower rows, couldn't hurt to try chompers when I've got 2000 unused sun halfway in the wave.
You know... I never really thought about chompers vs zombonis...
The most surprising part is that I just learned Chompers can chomp Zomboni wholesale in one fell swoop. It never occured into my mind for a decade
Summary:
1. Sunflowers galore
2. Chomper
3. + any other insta kills
4. speedrun record
