Poll Question:
Starcraft, Best Race?
What do you think the best race is in Starcraft.
The Errans who have the Ghosts, and are the humans trying to seize power and colonize other plantes, the Zerg whos ultimate goal is to serve the overmind and its will and to kill all life an expecially the Protoss, or the Protoss who are beings which were deserted by their fathers, and they seek to defeat the Zerg.
They all have different skills, units, buildings and so forth, but what race do you think is the best.

Star Craft is my third favorite game (after heroes and half life)
I voted Zerg
It certainly the most flexiabe race out of the three, they have a bonus of heal constantly (even the buildings). It lacks in a strong air unit, but other wise its very had to take them out, if one assult fails by the time you have your next army ready their base would have been rebuilt.
Terrans is problably the easiest to play, but not as flexiable as zerg.
Protoss very hard to play and build up your base, vith very expensive, units that will last very long, not flexiable, one major assult will leave you panicking through the entire game. If that factor can be overcomed, its unstoppable.
Still Zergs are the best.

All of the noobs like terran, experts like zerg, and addicts (or former addicts) like protoss. I can get 8 zealots in your base 5 min, and 8 more every 50 seconds. Its brutal.

There isn't a best race. Starcraft is the most balanced strategy game ever made.

Well Zerg can hatch 2 zerg zerglings at once which is an added bonus.
Protoss have like the strongest weapons.
The level 1 units well the Zealots have 16 attack strength with their psi blades or something.
Terran are my favourite mainly because of my favourite units which are the Ghosts.
Also Archons the Protoss units which are formed when 2 High Templars merge together, are probably my second favourite unit.

StarCraft was heavily mathematicized to prevent racial superiority.
But....
When first begining to play the game, Terrans are easiest, best-handled, and most effective.
After mastering each and every race, I'd say that the Protoss are easisest, best-handled, and most effective.
Same is for early game and late game, respectively.

A fast enough zergling rush is almost unstopable, I mean those guys destroy everything in their path. Hydralisks are really cheap and ranged attackers allowing them all to attack one target at the same time. The burrowing ability is my favourite against the "I'm too cool to use scouting units" types of people.
With about 4 or 5 hives you can accumulate huge ammounts of troops in no time and just overflood the enemy.
And once you get your mutalisks evolved to either devourers or guardians you can say goodbye to your opponent...
No doubt, Zerg are the ultimate race.

Protoss are so much faster than zerg.
And SCVs have a lot of HP and can easily take care of a few zerglings. And if you wait too long, Terran will have a bunker.
A lot of noobs think Terrans can be rushed, but SCVs have huge HP and deal enough damage to stop any rush. 5 or 6 SCVs can take down a zealot easily without one of them dying.

Theres no point in arguing this because the is no best race in Starcraft. The best thing to do is discuss each races pros/cons.
If you ask me, playing with Terran against a n00b is always easy. They tend to not scout, and just build up base, which leaves them wide open for a few ghosts

Ok good idea DS we can discuss each race pros and cons.
Well firstly Terran against Protoss are alright, but they can easily get killed.
The Ghosts cloak ability isnt really effectvi when you are trying to infilitrate a Protoss base, because then the Protoss instantly see you, and the cloak therefore becomes useless.
This also applies to the Wratish I think they are called, well there Cloaking ability also doesnt work against the protoss.
I have tested this many times and I have proven that the cloak doesnt work against the protoss.

Photon cannons, William? Or later they may have an oberserver hanging somewhere. These are protoss' only detectors.
You can always rush a terran player. Zealots are excellent for this.

You could easily stop a protoss rush with few firebats as reinforcement to your marines, ofcourse that you will need some gas and academy but they are worth it as they are the only terran melee unit  .
Goliaths best aspect is that he is like a walking missle launcher, great against the powerfull zerg air force, I always keep at least 10 of them just in case of an aerial attack.

Yes, the firebats are very effective because they hit several units and deal high damage. They need to be in bunkers however. You still need to be fast though, and the protoss player may choose to move right past your bunkers.

I was watching some WCG2005 match of Starcraft and is trying out the stratedgy they used.
I really like the part of Goliath and Siege Tank rush which can crumple any zerg base in minutes. Backup with either Goliath or Marines, Siege Tanks are unstoppable. However, Protoss can put up a strong resistant with their air attacks.
Also, SCV can be the best worker in the whole of Starcraft. 8-10 SCV can easily smash a small army of Zergling rush. So don't look down on Terran. Basically, when i play Terran, i like to rush quickly with a Barrack Scout and then jump straight onto building Siege Tanks and Goliath after i have build an armoury. However, my base will be protected with SCVs to counter Zergling Rush or early Zealot Rush.
The Barrack Scout is useful in backstabbing and scouting. After building enough tanks and goliath, i will sent the attack with some SCV to accompany(often 2 to 3). While attacking, i will continue building a starport and jump straight to building shuttle rather than wraith. Then i can say bye bye to those zerg and protoss buildings. Never played with a Human though, but always works with comps. Also, i would always go for second base quickly when i found one mineral spot with my barrack scout.

Are you mad? SCV's don't stand any chance against zealots. Zealots have 100 life and 60 shield, there is no way even 10-15 SCVs can handle this. They only deal 5 points of damage.
