I don't know if we've discussed this but, in your opinion, what's the most touching SC unit to YOU? It doesn't have to be because of its stats or anything, just because of it's presence, voice, looks, experiences, etc.

To me, it's always been the marine.

[image loading]


Probably because that's the sound I grew most fond of when I was little (~7 years old) and I was starting to play the game; I knew nothing, I didn't know you could build, or get new units, hell I didn't even know what the game was about. I just knew that I started on this level with a couple little soldiers and two little robots who liked grabbing this blue thing.

I liked exploring the map and killing these weird creatures that for some reason kept on picking off my little soldiers with no problem. They were really fast and had a cool looking face. I WANTED TO PLAY THEM! (I somehow knew you could, but not how, so I kept on trying to pass the missions) And I grew fond of the organic aliens that I always esteemed as mighty, mysterious, and powerful.

So all I heard during this time was the familiar "gogogo", "standing by", "lock and load", "checked up and good to go", "we gotta move", "are you gonna get me orders?", "oh my god it's wet", "a... [couldn't catch this] ...friend is commander", "and i don't know how to get out of this... [couldn't catch this either] ...outfit", "you wanna piece of me boy?", "in a world for this damn... [couldn't catch this >.<] ... career by now".

I grew fond of the little guy that liked trash talking me honestly, and everytime I saw one (specially in the installation levels) I just wanted him to walk with me and do something together, and when I saw the dead-marine scenery you always see there, my heart felt sad for him.

I bet this sounds gay but it's the truth haha, I know SC has touched you somehow not because of the gameplay, or friends you've made, or any sort of shit like that, but just because of it's pure being or simplicity.

+ Show Spoiler [offtopic] +
I have a question, so does the Ghost really say:

"you called down the thunder", "now reap the whirlwind"
or
"you call down the thunder and I'll reap the whirlwind"

I've read countless debates on this but I truly don't know which one is correct.

wtf

Wraith for me. I like how fragile wraiths are and also how they are able to deal massive amounts of damage at times. They are a better version of corsairs =)

Zealots hands down.

The way they move, their voice, their psy blades everything is awesome.

Also they have the most epic death animation.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Archon for me. Overwhelming power produced by psi magic that just makes itself seem like a demi-God. Destroying everything in its path, and does major damage.

Would have been nice to increase the damage / health / range of Archons for a more expensive price/supply to really give it an awe feeling

My favorites are a tie between the goliath and the dragoon.

I love everything about the goliath, the way they shoot, the way they attack air, how they walk and how they look. I hate fighting carriers, but I love the excuse to make a billion goliaths to fight them off.

The dragoon is great also, I love the shape of them, how they're the staple unit of my favorite match-up (PvT) and the damage and durability of them.

I love most units, it's so hard to choose. Every unit have something that is so amazing about it. Especially the basic units like zerglings, hydras, marines, medics, zealots and so on.

But if I have to choose my absolute favorite it have to be the archon.

Wraiths [image loading]

Wraiths are the most romantic unit because they're the only unit that (most of the time) should never die if used perfectly.

Word brother, goliath voice and mechwarrior style is awesome.
I used to think the dragoon was cool because it moved in a funny way and its speech was gibberish.

Vulture is definitely my favorite. I remember I used to think they were the most useless pieces of crap, until I saw my workers get raped in a matter of seconds to a group of them (and I started BMing hard since I was like 10 years old, not proud of that).

And then I started using them in every match, learned to patrol micro with them, it was so much fun :3

All the voices in SC are pretty memorable for me, but the Vulture still stands out the most
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.
