Super Brains
Does anyone else think this is Zombies' best character? Seems like he got a buff, when he should have gone the other way, along with Rose.

As someone who mastered all super brainz (except Poison, don't have him yet), I can say the character is strong but not op.
As mentioned here before, most of the players tend to freak out if he is in close range. He shines at close combat, so you have to get range between you and any super brainz.
Natural counters are rose and chomper. A good chomper allways wins in an 1 on 1 against a super brainz. Same for every rose. The problem is a lot of people don't know how to play right against the super brainz. Countless roses stunned me with slow field (which is good!) but then they use arcane enigma and try to kill me in close combat. That's about the worst thing you can do against super brainz. Same goes for all the poison and fire chompers who try to fry me =D As chomper you just have to use goop and enjoy the meal. or dig down, so super brainz has to use his jump + skills to stay longer in the air. After that he only has his whirlwind left, which can be stopped by goop. Also corn and pae shooter can easily escape a whirlwind, but again most of the players try to outdamage a super brainz in close combat, which simply won't work. The only classes which don't really stand a chance against super brainz (once he get's near you) are cactus and sunflower.
After the patch, the meta seems to be about right. There are still some characters left who may need a little tweeking (I'm looking at you scientists =D) but super brainz isn't one of them. Also as mentioned here earlier: Never use the laser (ok maybe if you are the electro brainz, but never otherwise =D).

I agree with all of this (I've mastered several Brainz as well), I'll also add in, when I start fighting a group, a Citron who is on it with his EM, is also basically a "Hey look, free Brainz kill!".
- I agree mostly with Drommanus except for the fact that electro brains electric beam needs a very slight adjustment, nothing crazy, just enough I shouldn't be able to melt a sunflower in half a second that's standing 10 ft away from the citron I targeted
