Zerg is best in my opinion. I like either swarms or fast attacks to overwhelm an opponent. I guess it's just a choice of style. BTW I'll play with anyone on SC anytime I'm bored...pm me or IM me at MDterrapins03.

Question Best class
Reply
Posted 2002-02-02, 10:34 PM in reply to tacoX's post "Best Race?"
Well in saying best class do you mean overall or for:

Defence
Offence
Rushing

My personal OVERALL favorite is Terran. They have a wide slection of units and attacking.

Protoss is very good for defence. Set up 20 Photon Cannons and you've got a free ride to make units.

Rushing... who are we kidding? Zerg! - In 1 minute I can have Zerglings at your base and you almost dead.


Let's talk combinations:

Protoss + Terran Defence of Bunkers/Cannons.
That is the best defence that you can make. With a little help from Zerg and thier underground units you could make a super base.

Zergling's underground units are very good for taking out unsuspecting units in crucial areas of the map.

Overall Terran (the newbie class) is fun because of the Nuke. :]

I partially disagree...I belive that Terran has the best defense for the latter part of the game. For ground you have 4 marines all upgraded with the longer shooting and turrets with seige tanks all around. Wraiths flying around to get rid of those pesky guardians and other seige tanks that might be out of range. I don't know of any defense that is better than Terran in the long run.

I do agree that nothing beats having 3 rows of cannons up when that first hard attack comes. Cannons simply don't have enough range and power to beat Carriers, Tanks, and really large numbers of attackers.

For best offense I have to say Protoss...unless your opponent guesses you are going to go all carriers and builds tons of scourge there is almost no way you can be beaten. For a fun factor I think Terran is the best and most diverse race to kick some ass with. And you would be quite surprised to see how well marines can rush Zerg and Toss. Just my 34/2-19+4 cents...

Ans--

P.S. If I made a mistake with the math please tell me so I don't look that dumb for that long

[Edit: And yes nukes are the funnest part of the game but not practical in PVP in my opinion.]

Okay, lets put it like this.
Protoss has their photon cannons, they work like missile turrets that can hit ground units aswell. In short, battlecruisers, guardians and siege tanks can take them out before they can strike back (ghosts can too, but they suck unless you have a nuke, or is planning to lock something down for a bigger attack).
The dragoons work sometimes aswell, but they tend to be rarely used for some reason.

Terrans have missile turrets, bunkers and siege tanks as their defense. Siege tanks can take out anything on the ground, aslong as it can spot it. Bunkers usually have a short range, just like missile turrets, unless you load them with ghosts. Goliats are great in the expansion at defending against guardians though, since they have the same attack range as them with an upgrade.

Zerg does have the possibility to swarm an enemy insanely fast. Like someone said, 1 minute could we possible with a resonable game speed on a map like BGH, though it takes some luck. Most players forget to build a defense while rushing, so they can end up getting rushed by terrans if they don't find the enemy base fast enough. Their two defense "buildings", the sunken and spore colony, do a moderate amount of damage, but they both have a short attack range, like the photon cannon. Zerg's only real defense is to build up a massive amount of units that litterary crush the attackers in different ways. The scourges are great against "small but strong" attacks (BC's and Carriers), for instance.

Well, that's just my conclusion.
Happy defending.

Protoss forever!!!!!!!!!

Think about it....at the beginning they can just create a vortex-thingy when creating buildings, so miners can get more res...their air-arsenal is the best ever, especially on Brood-wars....

There really is no competition..
Novus Ordo Seclorum

Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

i think toss is the easiest race to play with...simply goon/zealot rushes own mostly anything. terran is the best if you are very fast and know what your doing (most pros use terran) zerg is good for rushes and flying.

zerg rushes are the best.... especially muta ones. just go straight for the spire and then make maybe 6 mutas and you can rip shit apart, if you do it fast enough...

The terran is the best. They have seige tanks for range, yamato cannons on battlecruisers for taking out lone targets and best of all, nukes. The units are very cheap for the most part. I have found that my sucess with terran is much better than any other race, but this is just my opinion.
