What kind of martial art is your favorite?
A karate practitioner has less chance of defeating (in the sense of winning) a judoka of equal strength.
I voted for karate! because I've been practicing it for 2 years. Kyokushin style (Kyokushinkai, Kio-kushinkai... there are many variations in spelling)
I don't quite agree with you. It all depends on the karate style. I can say that since Kyokushin is a contact style, all contact styles are not very receptive to blows. For example, in our training, we have drills where we only hit each other (within reasonable limits, of course). And then there are sparring sessions... so we are generally crazy :smile04: :smile10: :smile26: :D
So, even hand-to-hand combat specialists won't always be able to defeat a karate practitioner.
And in our training, we are thrown onto the tatami many times (it's not that soft), and the only unpadded area is the shins (which hurt quite a bit after sparring with karate practitioners). By the way, padding won't help against a judoka, because a judoka doesn't hit (we are a rather peaceful people), but throws, twists, and chokes. Wouldn't padding help against that?
A karate practitioner has an advantage – their legs. BUT! in a street fight, there will inevitably be contact sooner or later. It won't be a problem for a wrestler to put the opponent on their back. (Hip throw, back arch, leg sweep – there's a whole range of options:D)

A judoka has reactions to both hands and legs (this is developed through grappling). So, you can catch a leg or an arm and do something with it:D
The kibodachi stance exists in karate as well (although it's not very useful... it's purely for kata and aesthetics, and for showing off - IMHO, it's only good for getting beaten up...).
I don't know about "breaking" or "suffocating," but a karateka will withstand several falls. Besides, a karateka won't just stand there; their feet "fly" like butterflies... if you miss one strike, it'll be quite difficult to recover. And if the strike was to the head, that's the end of the sparring session.
Basically, that's how we differ. You are peaceful, and we work in full contact
2. The strike must be specifically to the head (and a clean one) or to the groin. I've checked myself; other strikes (even to the solar plexus) are merely irritating.
3. Agreed, a successful strike to the head can end the fight. Just one question: "What would stop a judoka from simply reaching out and grabbing the head with their arms (assuming they are stupid)"
No matter how many fights and skirmishes there were, Judo always won only a few times...
Boxers were always the first, even when they were outnumbered... as Snowball rightly said - it's all about distance, and I completely agree with him. In general, Judo is a sport... and Boxing is a fight...
