What's the best race?
Dylan
they are all equal. there isn't such a thing as "BEST RACE", each race are
equally equiped with units/magic.

depends on your tactics.
i personally like the terrans. their units are kinda weak, but they get
better. they also can repair damaged buildings and vehicles, they arent
confined to building in certain spots (the zerg have that funky stuff on the
ground, and the protoss have to have lots of pylons to make a base of even
decent size. the music for the terrans sucks though.
the zerg are ok, but theyre units are usually weaker than the other 2. they
are very cheap, however. everybodys favorite rush race, as far as i can
tell. cant heal units/buildings, but they do regenerate themselves. have
to build a fair amount of creeps though.
i dont care much for the protoss. theyre too slow. they dont build their
buildings, so you can have a probe go warp in the building, then have it run
off and warp another building in while the first one is warping. the units
are very expensive, and are usually pretty slow. they are very powerful
though. 5 of their Zealot's will rip apart 8 or 9 terran marines without
any problem. they work well against zerglings too. havent played enough
with them to give specifics on later units.
play around with each of them and youll eventually find one you feel the
most comfortable with.

I'd say that the Terrans are my favorite as well, mainly because of their
defensive cababilities, nukes, and the music. It's refreshing to see music
in a game that is more complicated than your average grunge/rap song. Maybe
Blizzard is trying to let us in on the secret that rap and grunge are the 2
worst genres of music in the history of world by exposing us to some newage
stuff. I'm no big new age fan, but at least it takes talent to play it. I
was better at guitar than Kurt Cobain ever was after I'd played for 3 weeks,
but I digress...

Yea Zerg are really popular on Bnet just because you can mass produce huge
amounts of mutas/hydras quickly and then go try to clean out your opponent's
base. This is why I usually only play with friends. Whenever you try to
play with people you don't know they always just Rush you. Sometimes it's
effective, sometimes it isn't, but either way the game is over in 10
minutes. woowoo.

I really like the protoss. Scouts are very powerful, although very
expensive. Zealots are very good units, but I like to build dragoons more
because of their range. Dragoons are basically just movable psi cannons.
They have roughly the same hp and they do actually more damage. The only
disadvantage is that they aren't detectors, but they can also regenerate
shields at batteries.
I'd still say that my favorite are the Terrans, even though when you play
with them it's tempting to just build up your defenses and go grab something
to eat while you wait for your opponents to attack. :)

I like the Terrans right now because I know them the best. I'm still on
level 10 Terran Campaign, so I'm a little prejudiced to them. I like Zerg
too but the buildings heal too slowly. Protoss looks really good but I've
only played them 2 or three times on skirmish (lost before i could do too
much)

Personally, I love the Terrans or protoss. I think that the protoss are
actually the best rushers, if you're into that kind of thing. One probe can
warp in a ton of probes, and 3 gateways, then get back to mineral
collecting. The zealots have like 160 hp total with shields on, plus they do
amazing damage. I finished the terrans and I'm on protoss 6 or something,
cause I decided to skip zerg for now. Terrans vs Protoss is interesting,
since lockdown and emp shockwave give the terrans a good upper edge on the
offense. I never liked playing as zerg much, since their overlords have too
much emphasis for me to use them well. I tend to just overlook the fact that
they detect and transport, so I treat them like farms and hide them in a
corner.
Overall though, the balance is amazing in this game
I love SC

The Zerg and Protoss are kind of like brothers one being pure of form and
the other pure of essance.

The difference of course is, you can kill lock-downed units. Units in
Stasis cannot be harmed.
But yeah, both Arbiter spells rock, if you've got the gas. I love to Stasis
all the anti-air, and then go duck hunting.
