Your favorite Starcraft/Starcraft II unit?

Post by AdamGomez1987 »

I was just playing Starcraft II and am simply overjoyed how I am actually winning with Protoss against Terran. So I was wondering what your favorite unit is?

As of late, my favorite combination is a mix of zealots and stalker with my favorite unit: High Templar.

Siege Tanks are murder, especially when they have 4-5 of them, but my last game I countered them with having an observer over a hill to see what direction they're coming from as he went siege tank/marauder with medivacs which normally would have been a great combination to eat my stalkers, but when they were duking it out, my high templar blasted them to smitherines and managed to drop em.

Normally I was going to go 1000 random wins to get Maar, but I think I'll settle with the High Templar as when I play any type of rpg or mmo, I like to play the Wizard :)

My favorite unit to use is the siege tank, but I like the voice-overs from those motorcycle guys the best. I'm talking about the first game here. Starcraft had such a unique atmosphere and attitude, of the type which can't be found anywhere outside of Western-developed PC games of the 90's.

I'm a Hydralisk guy. I excel with the Zerg. My favorite Terran units are a combination of the Marine and Goliath and my favorite Protoss units are a tie between Zealots and Dragoons. Of course, I'm talking about the first game. I still play Starcraft sometimes to this day. I started a private bnet server for all classic Blizzard games a few days ago in hopes of finding people to play it. Can't play SC2 yet because 1) I don't own it 2) I need to build a better computer.
What a maneuver!

Same here. Close second is Dark Templar slaughtering Zerglings left and right.

My favorite unit is the Immortal, but the Colossus is a close second. Protoss is my favorite race to play as.

I've only played the first one. I like the flame thrower guys. Especially when they start offering propane knowledge.

I hate ghost, they are the anti-High Templar because their EMP can destroy a group of Templar's energy with just 4 shots. :cry:

Wish I could show my last video of me playing Protoss. Who would have ever thought that a Protoss would be able to rush Zerg? I built three Gateways, started massing zealots to press forward and while I was fighting them, I built a forge in my base and created two pylons and started to put photon cannons up to quarantine them.

This is the reason why I'm careful about getting vespene gas early in the game because it can make a difference spending that 75 crystal and then putting three workers on there where I can mass zealots and take some workers of my own to rush them hard and clutter the zerglings.

Anyways, I created my new base right where his expansion is at and started to put cannons on his edge, he was trying to counter by putting spine crawlers. Good thing the zealots I mass are tough, the roaches and crawlers are beating them good while my photon cannons are playing D as well. During this time, I built a Stargate >:=] the roaches try to come down and take my base out once and for all until my first void laser came that changed the title of battle, he had absolutely no air defense except for his queen and he decided to call GG as I was killing his spine crawlers and roaches and my 2nd void laser was coming I had two exp while he had one.

I love the Firebats and Goliaths. As for Protoss I love the little beep beep boop of the Reavers, brings a smile to my face every time. And the spider guys, I can't remember their name at the moment, Cyborgs? You need a Cybernetics core to get them I know that much :)
