For those who don't know, Dual Pistol Pinecone was originally another plant called Rotten Red. He was removed and replaced because of copyright issues. Rotten Red was designed by a Make-A-Wish kid named Miles for a video and a video ONLY. However, Talkweb (devs) actually put the plant in the game regardless, without asking for permission from him or his parents in any way.
I Think Yo Should Make A Series Overanalizing International version plants and zombies so that it helps new players or just entertain others. i have seen people not using it corectly, somepeople actually need it series
Just when I thought Cold Snapdragon was better than the original, leave it to Thunder Snapdragon to blow that out of the water. Once again I really approve of the music choice, I also appreciate how they're organized by the plants they were used for in the credits, as well as adding the composers. Phenomenal work as usual!
Normal and cold are technically better for multi-lane coverage… but since all three are pretty cheap and have a fast recharge, spamming thunder snapdragons in multiple lanes does invalidate the other two.
Narcissus shooter also caught me off guard with that extra-powerful stream of bubbles. at first, I thought it was just a worse Fume-shroom! if you were to get Narcissus, Thunder Snapdragon, and Ent all on the same account....well, you wouldn't need anything other than sun producers, they could probably solo literally every level!
The power difference between some of these plants is ridiculous. You have crystal orchid, which does very little damage, can snowman-ify the same zombie twice, can't snowman-ify a scarily large pool of zombies, and it's possible for it's plant food to do nothing when there's a zombie close enough to eat it. And then zapdragon solos entire waves at like level 2 and costs half the price of crystal orchid
Maybe they could give crystal orchid damage on her wind comparable to fume-Shroom? Wouldn’t be a huge buff since it would be niche, but at least she won’t be useless on zombies she can’t freeze
12:14 It should be noted that this is isn't the Chinese version being weird, ice plants in the international version are also pretty inconsistent. Winter Melon, Iceberg Lettuce, and Snow Pea can all be frozen, while Cold Snapdragon, Missile Toe, and Iceweed cannot. It's weird.
@@silverpotato4272 You are right. Cold Snap Dragon being freeze-resistant makes sense because it has a thick fur but I have no idea why Missile Toe and Iceweed are immune though. Winter Melon and Snow Pea not being freeze-resistant makes sense to me but I have no idea why Iceberg lettuce isn't resistant because it literally _is_ a chunk of ice.
@@silverpotato4272 Snow Pea is also premium, so it's not that. The three that don't have it were added before Frostbite Caves was even a thing, so I guess they just forgot to go back and add the resistance to them
@@ClonedGamer001 I still think that they made Frostbite Caves as a desperate attempt to curb down the usage of Winter Melon (as it was the strongest plant in the entire game at that time). Then, eventually, when they started releasing some overpriced plants, they added chill-resistance to make them seem good. Unlike Chinese Version devs, international version devs care more about these things.
I’ll assume a few things about Alarm Explosive Arrowhead - it sleeps for a bit to stop you from just throwing it in the middle of a hoard - it’s “laser” is a tripwire, giving it the “alarm” in it’s name
@@patrykchladek2184Incredible, it's effective against one single type of zombie and only under specific circumstances, AND it's slightly effective against a few specific zombies, doing the same thing that a certain plant that was meant to help against this handful of zombies in specific does, except just worse? Extraordinary! Simply outstanding! There are no words in the English language to describe how astonishingly good this plant is! And just for a very little double the cost of a Squash, which is less situational and doesn't need to be planted in advance?!? I'm speechless!
@@guacodile2528 Bro thinks the better the plant the better the concept, thats not how it works buddy balance is key, also the person making the main comment is stupid too, the plant DOES suck not for your reason tho, cause its overcomplicated garbage and inconsistent with stunning.
from a first glance, i expected Narcissus Shooter to be another unnecessary plant with an awkward design. seeing its unique ability and little details in Big Wave Beach (which wasn’t even necessary considering that BWB is the only water world in PvZ 2) really made me like it a lot more than i anticipated. really happy that PvZ 2 China continues to surprise me with some unexpected gems every now and then :) also that level 5 ability is unbelievably busted.
Zapdragon was the first Chinese plant I found out about years back, gotta say I've been obsessed with it despite never actually using it once.. So many of these Chinese plants are way cooler than the ones in the international version.
As another person in the comments said, You've got to be one of the best PvZ content maker, and a very underrated one as well. I wish You better success at RU-vid, because the amount of subscribers You have now is criminally low for such good videos.
Alarm Explosive Arrowhead is such a cool plant in my opinion, it's like one of those cool laser defences that always appear in spy movies, just that the fact that the top one gets eliminated when a zombies crosses it kinda makes no sense
a neat idea would be if when a zombie crosses the red line, both Arrowhead's go to where the zombie stepped and explode in a 3x3 radius, make the ability mean somthing
Yeah she is one of the more unique plants that was not a copypaste of a previous plant. The only thing I wanted is a better snowman design and animation (this does not fit the style of pvz imo)
Stumbling upon your channel is my biggest relief and also something i would never regret, i watched every single one of your PVZ 2 Chinese version vids at least 3 times now and they never get old, keep up the good work Flag.
Fun fact: Narcissus Shooter used to be called just Narcissus and Alarm Explosive Arrowhead used to just be called Alarm Arrowhead and Thunder Snapdragon used to be called Zapdragon I have no idea why they got rid of the original names
Man this channel is so underrated despite making great content, I have been watching for a while and your content keeps getting better throughout every video, I hope you skyrocket in views and subs
There is some strangely relaxing quality to these videos that have me coming back to them. Something about the music you play combined with your form of commentary is surprisingly charming.
It's an official game that's made by actually employed developers who are somehow more incompetent than the modders who mod the international version only as a hobby
This is the second time I’ve see an Undertale/Deltarune reference in your videos. I don’t care if they are intentional or not. I love them, keep them coming!
God I wish Thunder Snapdragon was in the international version, electric plants are some of my favorite kind of plant in the game but there aren't a lot of them in the international game (and the ones that are in it are limited premiums). Plus it just looks cool.
These videos are just incredible. I really love tho music choice and the addition of what the plants are based on. I think it would be great if you explained some of the other features in this game like artifacts and such.
Crystal Orchid is a pretty cool concept for a plant. Looks way too weak, though. Why does it target the furthest zombie, that just makes it less likely for the snowman to do anything? At least the vulnerability would help if it targeted zombies that might get hit by the rest of your defenses.
Zombies that are turned into snowmen by Crystal Orchid take the same amount of damage they took when they are frozen, meaning they take multiple damage when they are frozen.
@@silverpotato4272 so basically popcap and make a wish made a collaboration. And they made a plant based of the boys sketches. In the end they made a promise not to use it in any games, but pvz2 china developers just straight up took it and later they had to change it because of the scandals
@@TheOnlyZober didn't the boy design it for GW2 tho? Obviously putting it in the game initially was messed up, but I thought the moveset was original, so the new plant is fine. (I have no idea what I'm talking about tho so feel free to correct me)
Could be, in fact you can spot a Digger being turned into a Buckethead Snowman. All implies that Conehead Snowmen are used for generic armor, while Buckethead Snowmen are reserved for armor that can be removed by Magnet-Shroom. The real question is what Punk Zombies turn into.
Partway through the crystal orchid, I totally thought I knew the Jack Frost Nitrome game music and it just brought back memories of me getting on Nitrome a lot and playing games, Jack Frost included
I like the concept of thunder snapdragon, the concept of a melee plant with aoe was always cool because it seemed like it would involve a lot of skill to use Thunder snapdragon does not involve any skill to use
You forgot to mention the previous version of Dual Pistol Pinecone, Rotten Red EDIT: He already mentioned Rotten Red in the comments. Thanks Flag Zombie, I enjoy watching your videos, and making this comment was to make the video even more complete
alarm explosive arrowhead's laser mechanic might be designed so you could cover every lane with only 2 of them. still not great for a single use plant, but its something
Definitely not, way too many glitches and balancing issues. I'd rather have the game have fewer plants that are more balanced and consistent rather than have a messy hodge-podge of plants they made in a day to entice mouthbreathing players
@@walterwhite5764there are some levels in this game so horrendously designed that literally have tent spawning gargantuar at the start of the stage and the tent have the same stat as a gargantuar. Theres also many levels that spam an deranged numbers of objective at you that is extremely hard to fulfiller. If you think the plants are op you haven’t seen how shit this game levels are
1. Missed opportunity for a plant called the zapdragon 2. Is the level 5 thunder snapdragon effect in the other snapdragons or is it just for thunder snapdragon
Every plant in this video summarized for you Dual pistol pinecone: pew pew nut Narcissus shooter: Fume shroom but better Alarm Explosive Arrowhead: Squash EMPeach electric current Crystal orchid: A weird staller with funni snowmen Thunder snapdragon: Electric pea but with splash
Narcissus Shooter: Narcissus Reason: No reason to add the word “Shooter”. Also if the PvZO Narcissus’ name wasn’t made Narcissus Shooter, why not the PvZ2 Narcissus? Alarm Explosive Arrowhead: Alarm Arrowhead Reason: Like Narcissus, there’s no reason to add the word “Explosive”. Also, it’s name translates to Alarm Arrowhead, so adding that word was unnecessary. Crystal Orchid: Frostbloom Queen Reason: She looks like her fire variant (Firebloom Queen) Thunder Snapdragon: Zapdragon Reason: Snap and Zap rhyme so why not?
With electric snapdragon being ridiculously overpowered, i can only imagine that a poison snapdragon would be the opposite, a fun gimmick that is basically so useless you might as well give the guy a face mask instead of letting him fight the zombies
Bro imagine ur in that situation where u got almost surrounded by zombies and then thunder snapdragon pull up to the crib and start shooting his electric ball at zombies at his level 5 💀
I like the Alarm Explosive Arrowhead (what a name). But of course it is overpowered. I like the idea. And why does it and Pinecone have the same face as Red stinger 😂
I swear, Alarm Arrow Head and Ruby Red are the 2 easiest legendary plants to found in the game, Talkweb doesn't want us to get other legendary plants without paying money.
My ranking for those plants(my opinion): Dual pistol pinccone: looks fun to use and its good Narcissus shooter: good support plant and have pretty good damage Alarm explosive arrowhead: same as squash, good early game plant with amazing damage Crystal orchid: too gimicky to be useful Thunder snapdragon: DBS GO BRRRRR
Narcissus sounds good at first but it's actually terrible because of its slow recharge and 300 sun cost. Magnet Shroom and Acid Lemon would do a much better job.
dual pistol pin cone was actuality mad by a kid with a different food as his make a wish but he did not say his plant can be in game so they changed the plant to a pin cone
Looking at electro-snapdragon performance even at 1 level i can see why it's legendary rarity - imagine that thing used at pvp where you can put it into 5-rank slot and then spam him so he could spam those entire-lane attack all the time and perma-stun anything that comes too close.
