That is curious. Reading your post I ran 10 tests with each level of weapon and armor upgrade pitting 20 vikings against 20 mutas and the vikings prevailed every time. Even when I tried a-moving the vikings and microing the mutas. Sounds like you were behind on upgrades?

No, we were both 0/0, he didn't upgrade at all and I was transitioning into marine/thor since I knew he was massing mutas.
Packs of Mutas simply don't have the overkill problem that cripples packs of Vikings. I have never, ever seen Vikings beat Mutas cost-for-cost. That's the reason why nobody ever opens Vikings against Zerg, in competitive play. Top tier players understand that the harassment comes too late, does too little damage, and is rendered useless by one of Z's best units - Mutas.
