I'd buy Zecora having a means of making explosives far more than I would Derpy.

Also even if he is tipsy he still has some mad Skills that Derpy could never hope to match: www.youtube.com/watch?v=han3Af…

Also, surviving such things in such scenarios without notable signs of being hurt some time afterwords is called "slapstick": tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…

Still, I think Demoman has much more in common with Derpy than anyone.

Demoman is only intentionally prone to destruction, Derpy is just a klutz though.

Unless you've seen 'The Incredible Derp' xD

But yeah, she is more of a klutz than intentionally destructive (which can be said with almost everypony else). And while Zecora does share some traits that fits well with Demo, I see her more as a Healer than a drunk Demolition Expert.

Which leaves Berry as the only possible choice.

Her reputation as a drunk (while funny) is questionable and more of an invention by fans.

And she's really not as popular as Lyra or Vinyl Scratch. I mean, she's not exactly among the "Top 5" Background Ponies.

Top 6 actually, but she and Colgate do rank higher than most of the rest. as do the flower trio and a couple of others I can't think of off the top of my head. Besides, I personally would much rather use this beardeddoomguy.deviantart.com/… than an updated version of the zeccora one, and I am using it: askequestriabluteam.tumblr.com…

I do need to eventually explain what happen to the Zecora demos though...

Those are pretty good, I'll admit.

In any case, out of Berry, Zecora and Derpy, I still think Derpy is a better candidate for Demo. She's wall-eyed, has a love for muffins and can bring buildings down.

Zecora, while good at mixing potions, is more of a Healer. Berry Punch would be a good candidate, but that's mostly because she's known to drink.

And an eyepatch is only useful if the one eye is useless. An eyepatch on Berry or Zecora is rather pointless. Derpy however would benefit more from it.
