Best Race in Starcraft

terran...it can rush in an early game and destroys some of enemy's building

terran.., massive units > all

Terran is the best because of siege tanks, ghosts, and friggin Nukes!!

there is no best race in starcraft, it depends on the person who handles them but if all top players of each race would meet on match i think the winner would be the protoss beccause protoss players like to lengthen the battle time cauz they have a strong units in the later part of the game though.

While I doubt there is a best race...I would pick my favorite race as Terran because they can move their buildings and nothing makes me happier than confusing my opponents when they counterattack where I used to be.

zerg all the way. the mass production can just mob everyone else

protoss is the best race because it is easy to build

ill agree , and on top of that say that you can last the longest in any game because if you play them right you can make your defences impenitrable. giving you an unlimited amount of time to build a massive army.

Zerg! Zerg em! They invented the Zerg Rush!

Protoss is first to me. Reavers + goons FTW! Psionic storms and archons are pretty cool too.Zerg is second, because of DS + ultras + hydras, and muta harass. Terran is tied with Zerg. Siege Tanks, M+M and Goliaths.I normally pick random though.

zerg because of their speed

I'd say protoss becuase of the powerful ground units. Also, carriers!

Wraiths.

i love all races. therefore i go for protoss most of the time, trying to steal other races to my dark side. Mind control isn't always that difficult. once i locate where the enemie's base is, i wait for that part's attack before going for a stalling battle on my side (i have lots n lots of defence, so the attack isn't fatal.) then i send some of my troops to the enemies side, preferably on an angle where attack is almost impossible, which is very time-consuming as i weave in and out to prevent any stray enemy spotting me. then i unload ONE dark Archon, accompanied by some defence troops (mostly those spider thingys) and Arbiters. then i attack forcefully with a waiting fleet of strong firepower, preferably Carriers and Scouts. This is a decoy. then as the enemy rushes to fend off my attacks, i go back to my base and prevent total wipeout due to those illogical AI.then when the time is right, i strike with a small attack force at any loophole i can find, creating another decoy and a route for my dark archon to the scv/drone. By this time my carriers and scouts should be half-dead. I send a few more to keep the enemy in a blur from my base. then the arbiter fires off its static at any unit it can see and my dark archon with its guards take control of one or more scv/drone. then i beat a hasty retreat and load them back onto the ship. i try to secure a safe route back while i leave my attack units for dead.As for the strain of costs of resources, mu advice is plan well. i get terran for their ghosts' nuclear fallouts and siege tanks. i get zerg for mutalisk, zerglings and my favourite bodyguards:hunters.i play stealth a lot, and wraiths and dark templars are lovely men i send for a sure kill, among other 'power' units. e.g. carriers, ultralisks, siege tanks. i go in forces of hundreds. then i sacrifice them with nuclear attacks and templars' psionic lightning occasionally. when the base is almost done, i send in suicide troops, and all the zerglings i have. then win!but i'm not a pro. so don't get me wrong,k?

You need to find better opponents. Anyone with any common sense and skill would have built up some defences by the time you have Dark Archons, Shuttles, Arbiters and Carriers. Are you kidding me? Siege tanks need factories with machine shops, nukes and ghosts require science facitlities with attached covert ops, nukes need silos and you need the resources to research and upgrade the ghost.

terran...it can rush in an early game and destroys some of enemy's building

Why would you rush with Terran?

Terran is the best because of siege tanks, ghosts, and friggin Nukes!!

Siege tanks can be handled easily with any basic air unit. Ghosts can easily be taken care of with Science vessels if you're Terran, Overlord and Zergling if you're Zerg or Observer and Zealot if you're Protoss.

While I doubt there is a best race...I would pick my favorite race as Terran because they can move their buildings and nothing makes me happier than confusing my opponents when they counterattack where I used to be.

Moving units is a risky strategy because you lose research and resource gathering time and a few vital units (such as the Armoury and Academy) can't be moved and without them, will screw up with your tech-tree.

zerg all the way. the mass production can just mob everyone else

Zerg = WeakYou can't use Zerg without massing and even when you do mass, it doesn't always garuntee success.

ill agree , and on top of that say that you can last the longest in any game because if you play them right you can make your defences impenitrable. giving you an unlimited amount of time to build a massive army.

Protoss have crappy defence. Proton cannons are weak, slow, large and require a lot of care. If you knock out the right Pylons, you can render even a mass of Proton Cannons useless. The only good defence Protoss has is their units but relying on units as a permanent defence will quickly drain your psy and your patience.

Zerg! Zerg em! They invented the Zerg Rush!

Most people would think that the Zerg rush can only be done with Zerg.

zerg because of their speed

..., low strength and crappy tech-tree.

I find that there is no best race its just opinion and play style. My favourite race would be Zerg because you can swarm the enemy early in game and the lurkers and their flying units are great but i find the later you leave it the harder it gets, the team i'm best with though would be protoss because its an easy build up and your units are all tough, even if expensive. I also love the Protoss carrier ships with a few of them a base can be destroyed.

i love protoss i cant explain it but i love that race

I personally like terran, because who doesn't like blowing stuff up with nukes?

yeah i would prfer protoss in starcrat

http://www.starcraft2.com it's offical finally they doin it!!!!!!!! Starcraft 22222222222222222222!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i prefer the protoss because i like their air support!

protoss is pretty good cayse its easy

I like terran or Protos. I hate Zerg

for base attacks i go for terran nukagefor rushin' i use zergiesfor normal games id use the protoss

I reckon the all have the goods and bads but I lik zerg and protoss.Zergling rush gg!!Protoss late game ftw!!!

I want to say Protos.... I really wanna, but I have been in the recieving end of a zerg surge... And I must say.... The zergs pack a wallop if you know how to use them. My brother has mastered the zergs and I think I have mastered the protos, and I assure you my brother can kick my .... if given even a slight chance.

Yes, I see that that's the direction that this topic has taken. But when that guy made it, I think he was thinking of "Best Race in Starcraft" generally.... w/e.I'm a protoss player myself. Love the race and their history.

how can u guys go protoss they r too slow humans are the best in terms of defence and with quite a high attack protoss only have shields thats about it, tTere carriers are good in numbers big the big human ships shoot them all down using there big cannon thingy. zerg swarms in and get beaten all the time they die much to easy i do love playing with the lurkers tho:P

I find that there is no best race its just opinion and play style. My favourite race would be Zerg because you can swarm the enemy early in game and the lurkers and their flying units¹ are great but i find the later you leave it the harder it gets, the team i'm best with though would be protoss because its an easy build up² and your units are all tough, even if expensive. I also love the Protoss carrier ships with a few of them a base can be destroyed.³

• Zerg fliers are the weakest in game. The base damage of Mutalisks is 9 for both air and ground. Base damage for Scouts and Wraiths is 8 against ground and 20 explosive against Air.
• Its not "easier to build up" if the buildings cost more.
• Anything in numbers combined with a good strategy can destroy a base. Hell, even a dozen marines and some medics can do that and it'll cost less than a dozen fully armed and upgraded Carriers.

yeah i would prfer protoss in starcrat

Learn to spell and then we'll talk.

Carriers are over-priced. All you need is a science vessel with at least 100 mana and some Wraiths to completely decimate any number of Carriers.

protoss is pretty good cayse its easy

Expand on this please.

I like terran or Protos. I hate Zerg

Why?

1.for base attacks i go for terran nukage2.for rushin' i use zergies3.for normal games id use the protoss

• Ghosts are too weak. If the enemy has a detector, you can say bye-bye to your ghost and the 400 resources you used for the nuke.
• Well thats kinda obvious. No other race can rush well.
• Define "normal games".

how can u guys go protoss they r too slow¹ humans are the best in terms of defence² and with quite a high attack protoss only have shields thats about it³, tTere carriers are good in numbers big the big human ships shoot them all down using there big cannon thingy⁴. zerg swarms in and get beaten all the time they die much to easy i do love playing with the lurkers tho:P⁵

Punctuation and spelling are you friends.

• Maybe because they are stronger and their units have better abilities.
• Actually, I would consider the Zerg to have the best defence. They only need to pay 50 crystal for a drone, 75 for the creep colony and 50 for either a sunken or Spore colony. Terrans need SCV's to build, a bunker, and marines/firebates/ghosts. Not only does it cost more resources, it also costs supply.
• And Zerg only have healing[/sarcasm]. So what if the Protoss have shields? Its not their only strength. A Zealot has more HP than 2 Marines even without the shield.
• Yamato Gun can't take out a Carrier in a single shot, and the Battlecruiser's main weapon is pathetic. The only way a group of fully armed and upgraded Battlecruisers can beat a group of fully armed and upgraded Carriers is if the Terran player can micro-manage well.
• The whole point of Zerg is to take out the enemy early in the game and to use fodder for their more powerful units like Guardians and Ultralisks.

Protoss is the best
