Random Splatfest topic: Mongoose vs Cobra

[Smashling79]

I was just thinking of the next Splatfest, and this topic came to mind. Both of these animals fight each other to the death. Kind of like two Squads in turf and ranked matches battling for the win. If this was chosen as a topic I would go with team Mongoose. What team would you guys choose?

Great idea, which means it will never be used.

Mongooses are the natural predators of snakes. They run circles around them. Do Cobras even stand a chance? Plus most people don't have an immediate personal affiliation with either animal, nor any real reason to gain one without much research, so I can imagine that splatfest not being well received, but it's certainly more interesting than cats vs. dogs or cars vs. planes and every other splatfest we got.

I just thought to post a unique splatfest idea even some people don't know what these animals are. Also even if Mongoose usually win, the Cobra tees would look a lot cooler than the Mongoose tees. So it can come down to the factor being strength vs style too.

They sort of became better known with Zangoose and Seviper in Pokemon.

True. That could be a way of having this splatfest topic happen. Zangoose vs Serviper anyways.

And while less familiar than Zangoose vs. Seviper, I think this is worth adding too:

This is from the current Littlest Pet Shop TV series. I write the recaps on TV Tropes for the show, so I couldn't let mention of a "mongoose vs. cobra" discussion slip without a screenshot of Sunil beating up a cobra.

A TVtropes person. I have something I really want to add to the Splatoon page and Penguins of Madagascar Movie page which would probably be a "hilarious in hindsight" for the latter and whatever is the opposite for the former but I am just too shy to sign up and do it myself.

Would you like me to add them on for you? (The opposite trope to "Hilarious in Hindsight" is "Harsher in Hindsight.")

(And for the record, the episode in question where that screenshot happens is "Heart of Parkness".)

Yeah sure and thank you so much. Sending you a PM now.
