Best Race in Starcraft

terran because you can rush, throw them off guard, then send in heavier stuff

I think zerg is great from early to mid-game levels. So if you can kill off the enemy early then you have an advantage with zerg. But if you let the game continue for a while and let a race like protoss develop, then I think protoss definitely has the advantage in overall strength in the end. I guess it really just depends on your style of play and how skillful you are.

its the protoss because of the dark archon ability mind control, this is the ultimate weapon in arsenl of dark archon.the combo of taking control of 5 medic or 3 defiler with the help of dark swarm helps your zealot alot.if your really good you can take control of scv or zerg drone and have two race instead of one so there for protoss (meaning first born) has the best of both worlds.http://www.blizzard....on/darkhigh.jpg

protoss are the best all the way. they can also multi build and have more life than others

Protoss!!! Because they have unique abilities corsairs could easily disable defenses leaving bases easy too attack+protoss has great anti mobs like templar and reavers...

Terran player.Get 3 barracks, 1 academy, 4 supply depots, get out a group of about 25 marines, 3-6 medics and upgrade stimpack, just walk straight into the enemy base and destroy whatever you like. Keeping your units harmed by stimpack is maybe a very strange tactic but it'll keep the medics around without needing to controll them.

well i like them all apart from terran ¬¬ but in multiplayer i always play zerg cos they are quick to start off with and u can rush the other players with mass zerglings there is no way to stop 12 hatcherys all with 3 bug things all evolving into zerglings!!!! thats like 72 zerglings coming at u at once!!!!

I'd beat the crap out of you easly, trust me.Firebats > Lings.The only thing I'd need to do is build 4 firebats to take along with me and you'd be doomed. Rushing isn't that fun, but using small teams in smart tactics is.

i prefer terrans just because i like to mass produce battlecruisers (air superiority )

Wraiths.

I prefer Terran, they the best because of thei nuclear misille¹, batlecruiser² and tanks³, with broodwar expansion they're even better while they can heal injuries in infantry units

• You actually trust ghosts with 400 resources?
• Wraiths/Scouts.
• Wraiths, Scouts, Zealots, Zerglings, Firebats, Lockdown, Carrier(s), Battlecruiser(s)...

Terrain are the best no body can beat the nukes lol

Nukes are weak. A good player would have detectors in the area by the time the nuke is even close.

they are well balanced but i still like protoss and stealing an enemy build unit with dark archon and using their own units as well as my protoss units... someone must do something about it i guess almost at everygame it takes my first priority to steal one builder...

Try using that tactic on anyone with a brain.

Whi rushes with Terran?

Even in by mid-game, Zerg really suffer. They have absolutely crap units after Hydalisks. They basic flier is weak, their spell-casters have bad abilities and their heavy support unit is a ground unit.

Seriously, Dark Archons are overrated. I'd seriously like to see you find a medic/defiler/SCV/drone just walking around without any protection.

protoss are the best all the way. they can also multi build and have more life than others

Even though they can "multi-build", their buildings and units are ridiculously expensive. They have more life because their units cost more resources and Psy. Just EMP any Protoss unit (or building for that matter) and they're just as vulnerable as any other unit.

EMP.

They all have their uses, but I guess I kind of lean towards the Protoss - simply for aesthetic reasons.

i prefer zerg. because their mobility.. it is awesome..fast, mass.. ugh coward type i guess but since i love a rush game, zerg is right choice..zerg and hydralisk is my favourite not mention air unit..ugh make me want play sc again, n sc2 either

Protosss.. any day... the units are far better than the zerg or terrans

Mutalisks are crap. They have the lowest attack of any air combat unit. Even the Arbiter has a stronger weapon that the Mutalisk. They're only good for harassing which is pointless late-game.

More expensive too.

for me it's terran. nuclear launched detected! kaboom!battle cruiser's yamato gun is owning!

If you're stupid enough to get nuked, you probably deserve it.Battlecruisers are weak. Yamato Gun is their only powerful weapon and it needs 150 mana to cast. Not only that, it doesn't do splash damage which means its only good against large units or buildings, and siege tanks are much better at destroying the latter. A squad of marines or just 2-3 wraiths can easily deal with Battlecruisers.

I like the zerg because you can make three guys at once and get a mass of zerglings.

I like the zerg because you can have to make three weak guys units at once and get a mass of weak and pathetic zerglings.

Fix'd for you.

Gotta be zerg.. just the masses..

3D Orcs and elves

you people who are saying protos are slowest to biuld are wrong they are the fastest because u can make multiple biuldings with the one probe , and what does hardest to build mean???

I personally prefer terran, MnM is just awesome with tanks and terran metal=unstoppablealso, pros acknowledge that if terran can get to 200 pop, they're unstoppable

Protoss. Their portal building really does give an advantage. You can build quickly and efficiently with very few drone units. Plus, gotta love Dark Templars. But I do also enjoy playing Zerg.

i prefer Protoss, they have the strongest starting units

I love the sound zerglings make when they get ripped apart by Reavers/ Siege Tanks.

They also cost more, need a Pylon and also take a while to 'Warp in'.

What the heck is "terran metal"?How does maxing your population make you unstoppable?

But you also need a Pylon. If you have very few drones, you are obviously not a good player.

i prefer Protoss, they have the strongest starting units

What do you mean? The Zealot costs the most and also takes the longest to build out of the 3 basic units. Sure, they have shields and a lot of health but sometimes you need quantity instead of quality. Any good Zerg player could easily take out a Zealot with 4 Zerglings if they knew how to micro.

The Blizzard done a very good job through many patches and updates to balance all races. So I think the best race discussion is more oriented for playing style and personal preferences. Mine is Zerg of Course, playing alien swarms rocks. I hope they can do the same awesome game on SC2, I'm already getting ready for losing another few years of my life.
