The Best Race-Strategically

[ExtremeGamers]

Many have asked the question of who is the best starcraft race? Well if one considers the two main factors: Air-Ground The choice is simple but not obvouis.

If used properyly Terran have been proved to be the most beneficial race. Through thier Tanks in siege and "val's" they prove to dominate air and ground. If thats not enough "BCs" seem always unstopable when maxed.

Terran have a great rush with marines and can easily defend against ling rush. Nukes are always a big help and WHEN USED PROPERLY CAN eazily take races out.

Well thats wut i have to say about it tell me if you agree or not i would like to hear some feed back.

I feel that it is zerg, im always zerg and have found them top for a good team game or ffa. Here's why:

-Once you have enough hatcheries and are gather fast enough, once all ur force is dead, u can rebuild it in a sec
-Their shuttles (loading air ships) are free from supplies so a hydra drop isn't limited to supplies
-They only use one building to build units so changing unit strategies in the middle of a game is easier
-The Nydus canal adds a whole lot of variety to the game that makes sneaky and strategic players a threat

By these, zerg kill any others as they work better overall in a good game

I think it is toss. quite a few times i have defended against a giant army of BC's. They arent that unstoppable. A good mix of cannons, goons, and corsairs and its over for the BC's. or if u have time use a dark archon and steal an scv and just build your own BC's

Storm, irradiate, plague. Add some hydras/m&m/goons, and you can easily kill 12 BCs alone. Of course, if your enemy is using BC/tank/m&m, you might want to have some more... ehm.

irradiate doesn't work on BCs, and m&ms suck against bcs

If you individually attack the BattleCruisers with the Marines, you may get 1 destroyed.

There is no best race. If u know how to play the races they are perfectly balanced. U just have to know how to use them.

Hydra's work really good vs. BC's depending on the quanity. 4 Hydras could take a BC, but put 4 Hydras against 2 BC's and its the opposite. Dark Swarm and Hydra's can handle BC's pretty easy though.

I'd have to say Protoss when it comes to stragetically playing. Reaver-drops. DT rushes. I personally dont get protoss air unless it is ESSENTIAL and i need them for a counter. Otherwise, i can win a game without them. The past few games have been won without Stargates.

1 BC could kill 4 hydras...

 

[lazaznxxx]

damn right aka...4 hydra is nothing, wat about 6 or 7? would they handle a bc? and the upgrade factor too.............

 

[james_in_time]

It depend who you are and what you want. There is no one best race its the person and how good they know the race throughly. I am really good at toss and i know the there story thru and thru but i dont zerg and terran and i aint good with. So i think it just depends

You could be right, It's been a while since I played SC and I'm starting to forget alot of stuff about it..

 

[Renzokuken]

4 Hydras could never kill a BC. No chance in hell. Maybe 6, maybe 7. We don't know...and im not prepared to try it!

 

[CerebralChain]

I believe 4 hydras, fully upgraded, cud kill a single BC.

 

[james_in_time]

And the bc wasnt upgraded at all... maybe

 

[AKA-47]

Hydras need 50 hits to kill a BC while the BC needs 4 hits to kill a hydra. The BC has a cooldown of 30 while hydras have a cooldown of 15. So the hydras will kill a BC in 18,75 seconds while the BC will kill 4 hydras in...48 seconds.. Hmm, guess smashbros was right.

 

[AKA-47]

Of course, BCs gain more damage per upgrade than hydras so that would probarbly change the situation since the BC would only need 3 hits with 2 weapon upgrades.

 

[AKA-47]

Hmm, BCs have 3 base armor... that means hydras need 72 hits to kill a BC. So 4 hydras will need 27 seconds to kill a BC. Well they still win so it doesn't matter

 

[Renzokuken]

Damn. Im wrong again. Ah well. BCs can be countered easily.
