Buffy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer vs Juliet from Lollipop Chainsaw.

Well, from the little gameplay I saw isn't Juliet above Buffy? But I haven't played the actual game myself.

Buffy kills Vampires one at a time up to groups of maybe 10.

Juliet is beheading 6-7 Zombies a swing and literally goes through hundreds of them in a stretch.

Now given that the Buffyverse vamps never did anything to make themselves particularly worse than the AVERAGE Lollipop Chainsaw zombies, much less the mid-bosses, and that SHOULD be the tale right there. But lets look further.

Buffy, when she wanted a ranged game carried a crossbow or relied on throwing whatever was handy. When she needed a bazooka or high explosives she had to steal them from a military base. Juliet, on the other hand after Stage 2 went around with a semi-automatic rocket launcher as standard equipment.

Buffy's big end-of-season bosses were, A) The Master, a vampire with nothing but a prophecy and some vague magic powers making him better than most, B) A mostly generic Vampire who's only threat came from that he used to be a good guy and buffy still wanted to goink him, C) A giant snake, D) A frankenstine Monster turned Robocop, and E) A goddess that had lost most of her powers in the transition.

Juliet's big end of stage villians were, A) a dude with a flamethrower and two axe wielding minions, B) A Zombie rocker that could literally cuss you to death, C) A Ghost-Viking ship with a Viking Rock Zombie that could split up, and attack you with each piece separately (and the horde of Zombie rock minions) with lightning control, D) A trippy hippie Zombie that could trap the whole city in a giant pot-dream so they couldn't do anything to stop her, E) A alien-invasion zombie, video-game style, F) A flying Zombie that then rode a giant undead elephant. (Again with an army of minions) G) a Godzilla+-sized Zombie God that regenerated, threw cars at you and could spawn other Zombies at will.

And when Buffy needed to defeat a mostly-depowered Goddess, she got a mystical God-Hammer, 4 other people, a robot, some large scale construction equipment, and STILL couldn't get the job done.

When Juliet had to defeat Undead Kaiju God, she grabbed the same chainsaw she'd been using the whole game and hacked him up until he quit regenerating.


Oh when people launch cars at her Juliet cuts them in half with one swing of her chainsaw. Kinda little higher than anything we saw Buffy do.

And (assuming the player is competent) she's faster and more agile than Buffy too. There are quite a few spots in the game where there's a minigame to get to the otherside by bouncing off a bunch of Zombies' heads like Mario. And the various cheerleader tricks come into play as well, including poledancing.


And when it comes to family, anybody in the Spalding clan was more badass than anyone in the whole Buffy show (except MAYBE Buffy).
