How tall do you think SC Units are?

[Darkmatter]

In general, if you think about it, they are probavbly a lot bigger then most people would precieve them to be. For instance, the average marine is maybe 6 Feet to 6'5 Feet, or so. I think anyways. Now, in-game, a Hydralisk is a bit taller then a Marine, so they are probably 8 to 9 feet tall respectively. A Goliath is taller then a Hydralisk, I'm assming 11 or so feet tall, given it's a pretty big machine to begin with. Archons look to be much larger then most units, besides the Ultralisk. I believe both are well over 18 feet tall, maybe the size of a two-story houser, or a little in-between that. A BattleCrusier, on average, is probably as big as....maybe a football field or two? Who knows.

A better question would be how big are starcraft buildings. You can fit about 5-7 hydras in a hive :-/

 

[TrongaMonga]

A marine is average sized, around 1,72 meters. The hydralisk is taller, around 2 meters, and the zealot is the tallest of the three, I think he has 2,50 meters.

The BattleCruiser is just huge. Two football fields? Nah. Try two hundred.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

The buildings I would assume are not to scale like some of the units likey would be. I would go on to assume that the in game units are not to scale if they were in "real life" so to say.

Based on hiow big it looked in rthe Brood War Cinematic, it looks about the size of two Football Fields, in my opinion. It doesn't seem that big, but chances are good it is pretty big regardless. I wonder how big Dragoons are? Maybe the size of two SUV's placed side by side?

yeah but you also assume every single one would be built the exact same. Mankind has a tendency to change designs of various things, and the game wouldn't represent it but even cinematics show that humans arn't confined to the type of ships you see in game only, there seems to be a large variety of different ships with different sizes etc.

 

[Ntrik_]

drop ship is biggest unit, it can hold 2 bcs from what I herad...... ;;

marine aer 2 m
zlots are bit bigger then rines
hydras are 4m
lings are big dogs

bc isnt the size of 2 foot ball field...

dragoons are like cars or trucks
carriers are bigger than bcs.
mutalisks are relatively small, same for guardians and devours,
however pan's vagina can swallow all units in sc at a time.

It can, unless your in it

That's true too. I just wish they gave more clues as to how big the units really are. Makes me wonder if a Nexus is the size of a house or a school, you know?

I regarded the cinematic where they are cloacked by an arbiter, together with the fleet of Carriers, in the Original Protoss Campaign.

And if you look at an image of the Gangrithor, in the image that first appears in the end of the same campaign, you can see the Gangrithor floating, and it's a lot bigger than the Protoss base.

 

[Amantis]

Zerg and Protoss units = enormous

Other than terran mechanical units, biological ones are probably mega small. Uh...6ft?

I qalso remember that, but in general Carriers seem a lot bigger then Battlecrusiers to begin with. Science Vessals are also probably pretty big too, we just can't notice it. In the Cinematics, they are like..really big.

 

[Wing Zero]

wonder how they build them in like 2 minutes if there so big

 

[CerebralChain]

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere, maybe in the manual, that Zealots are 3 metres tall.

 

[Caiman]

well if you look at the marine in the campaign selection screen (with the hydralisk on the left, the marine in the middle, and the zealot on the right), you will see that the marine's head is really really small, which makes me think he's wearing some kind of robotic suit or something.

 

[Wing Zero]

maby b/c they do?

 

[RyanXWing]

The zlot is 3 metres tall

Its in the manual

 

[Crimson-Shade]

its the future

 

[Master.America]

I'd think that marines (while wearing their combat suits) are over two meters tall on average. You gotta remember that those suits are huge and they add a few inches. I'd imagine they're about seven feet tall on average... a bit over two meters. Hydralisk height would vary based on if it's standing or traveling. There's a shot of one in a cinematic in Starcraft (I think). It must've been almost four meters tall at the top of its head-crest thing.

 

[Darkmatter]

Ack. You're saying we have Yao Mings walking around who can shoot needles from heir foreheads?

I really need to get that manual. It does give a hefty chunk of info on StarCraft that you really can't find anywhere else. Can anyone give a good height rating on how tall an Ultralisk or Archon might be? The units fasicnate me, and in general I take pride in knowing a lot about them, and height is no exception.
