Protoss?

[AsassinX]

Speaking as a Starcraft Tactician, I beleive that the protoss are the hardest race to beat, especially if you are Terran. They may be expensive but when you upgrade weapons and plasma shields to level 3 and throw in a fewdark templar/archon, you have the best tactical race. Anyone agree?

 

[Jeremy]

I think its more the opposite. Protoss is easier beat from Terran than the other way around. Terrans lockdown can target most protoss units and really...photon cannons are pretty pitiful unless you pile 20 together at an entrance. I use protoss though because they are by far the most fun to play.

 

[AsassinX]

Hmm, I disagree, defenses are not as good as the Zerg who have the best but the protoss units are so good if you have the lvl 3 plasma.

 

[SmashBros.Pro]

I also think it is the opposite way around because of the major damage EMP Shockwave does to Protoss, especially to Archons. But it really depends on how you play, most skilled Protoss players I know usually bring 2 or 3 Probes with them when they set up a group of units near the enemies base and the Probes make Shield Batteries (Can't remember the name) and go in and out recharging shields so that EMP is pretty much useless. Guess the situation your in is a better time to judge on what race is hardest to beat.

 

[TrongaMonga]

a couple of tanks can easily kill those units u said, specially if u EMP them

 

[RedMage]

Especially if you have a zerg ally . EMP+Plague= Total Destruction!

 

[darkzonofdoom]

hehehe protoss is a very good race to play with. their units do most damage but are more expensive. I play with the zerg cus you swarm much better so in order to make 12 units i only need 4 hatcherys instead of 12 gateways, and they are cheeper. The protoss though is the funnest to play with but is harder to master.

 

[Zmoney]

i think toss gets ripped by terran if the terran user knows what hes doin the emp factor and lockdown are far better than anything toss can ramble up also M&M&firebats romp thruogh zelots and sometimes goons

 

[FUSION_dragon]

If u no wut yer doing, u can posses drones and SCVs and use them to build all 3 races. TOTAL ANNIHILATION! (is that spelled right?)

 

[TrongaMonga]

in money maps, i guess...

 

[Zmoney]

I still think terran is better who care about svc take over that wont happen in a non money map not enough funds to keep up all the biuldings and units better of stickingwith just toss unless u wana lose

 

[Towelie]

Terran is pretty good in non money maps. And in money maps only vs Zerg or poor protoss players. Emp Shockwave does not hurt me as I do not use ccarriers, I use dragoons, and Dragoons are better IMO than 2 hydralisks because they build faster. Zerg on non money is pretty good because you can muta rush them that gets me alot if i don't have cannons around my nexus or sometimes when they tank drop and the glitch where dragoons or nothing can attack the cannons except for air because they are on a cliff. That is so gay.

 

[Dannen-Anor]

I agree, but the only problem is against somebody who is really good with terran can wipe you out pretty quickly with lockdown!

 

[Dannen-Anor]

ZERG are the better race to play. Though Protoss hardest to beat.
You have to be able to play zerg and protoss to really be good at BW. Out of all the games i have played on line(more than most for sure) I have lost far more playing terran than zerg or protoss.

 

[Towelie]

Yes I have lost more matches playing terran. I just cant spit out micro that fast and don't build fast enough with Zerg or Terran on Non Money maps.

 

[Zmoney]

ya but zerg is so weak compared to toss so there fore i think its more fo a chalange to best toss with zerg than terran also another gay factor about toss is that its so damn exspensive

 

[~Mooksman the DrOsS~]

Whoever says zerg is weak is kind of stupid....Zerg doesnt with strong units. Any Zerg player worth his sh!t knows that zerg wins most of the time by simply outnumbering opponents. And keeping it that way, endlessly. So no, toss does not own zerg. In fact, no race owns another on any map.
Toss has some great thibgs to stop zerg with, however, most notably Psionic Storm. To use this effectively you need at least 10 or 12, at least against anyone I know.....on my zerg end of the stick, usually get about 10 queens (yes queens) and broodling the High Templar form afar. Or, with Terran, EMP their energy ^_^.
Terran is very good on money maps, despite what you think. Tanking up the center is relatively impossible to stop if the Terran manages to get enough Turrets and get about 12-14 BC in there. The BC can stop even zealots from getting close. In a 2v2, a Terran can go straight turrets and Tanks while his Protoss ally gets a bunch of corsairs (with ups) and any ground unit they wish.
Zerg has some dificiency, however, as the only real unit for killing tanks is Guardians. Dark Swarm still only blacks 50% damage, and if the Terran player has about 10 vessels they can destory your guardians extremely quickly with Irridate. Very complicated, fight Terran with Zerg. If the Terran finds you quick and catches you teching, he can M & M you and raze all your work. And if you go for lots of Hydras first, or Lurkers, the Terran can sit back and get tanks then move in before you even get a Greater Spire. With about 10 tanks and some mariens of Goliath for support, your hydra will be slaughtered. Given this, you have to find a neutral spot whereu get eniugh hydra or Lurker to stop Terran rush yet tech fast enough to get Guardians, or Defiler if the Terran gets less Tanks. And then there's always running out of gas.

There I made all the arguements i wanted to......most of this applies to Money Maps, which i know best.


BTW all those chumps who think Money Maps are newbie, just because you suck at them doesn't mean they're newbie and the only reason money maps have the reputationt hey have is because most of the people who play them are newbies. I am not, and if you tried to play a competitive money game you'd see how newbie we are ^_^.


MONEY MAP REVOLUTION!!!

 

[Hot Action Cop]

If you played the missions you would know the game isn't made to be maxed. 5 carriors are supposed to rip, and people who play money maps usually have ABSOLUTLY NO SKILL AT ALL. Money Maps Suck and should be abolished. I hate em. Its too easy all you have to do is get 50 workers and mine in one spot. No expanding. No micro. If your a real player you would know this. This is a strategy game, and money maps have none.

Key point on Toss: They may be more expensive, but they also mine and gather gas a lot faster than say terran and zerg. Zerg may be easier to get units with, but they mine a lot slower, and a lot of your unit limit can be eaten up by workers.

Thats my opinion

ALL YOU LAME MONEY PEOPLE HAVE NO SKILL!!

 

[Fingersman]

Okkkkkkkkk......someone has alot of aggression..but there is something you should know. All the mineral collectors mine at the same rate........however it is the building style of the toss that enables you to gather more probes in the begining ( because the toss's probes can start creating a building and leave it there)

All races in Sc are even, it's the player that uses tatics and give the particular race the advantage.

BTW I can micro and I play BGH, I also play non money maps as well

 

[shrimpshark]

y has noone mentioned wut zerg can do to toss i have a replay of wut could happen.... garuds early game = gg
