I am so tired of seeing people whine about how bad ultralisks are, so LETS DO SOME TESTS. Thanks to the handy dandy unit tester by Xdragon (i think) I will now be streaming tests of the ultralisk vs other unit mixes to prove that in fact it rapes.

Much better, let's make an exhibit of a games where you successfully use Ultralisk in an actual game. That would be more awesome irrefutable argument.

So I heard small arena maps are representative of real games.


Especially with zero micro going on.

I hate the post below mine because it feels War3-ish.

wow your ultras beat a bunch of stalkers half your size that are backed against a wall with no ff and no blink micro and no kiting, and the stalkers almost won, so "amazing"
How do you mine minerals?

Well, the OP agreed to run real-life simulations, but I only see some kind of music video when I try to look at the channel. Am I the only one having this problem?

I'm sure you could also make scenarios where the carriers wins alot per cost. This is extremely narrow minded from a real game. All you do is pitch units without considering building time, tech cost, tech time, vulnerability to timing attacks, and no micro against stalkers backed to a corner of a arena map, seriously?

I think wrecks the one with the already weird ultra build of building mass queens for transfusion. I'd love to see a transition from a more standard opening though.

lol... Okay, so he initially had a hydra/ling/roach army, and transitioned into ultralisks + hydra/roach against a mech ball. The terran's tank spread was terrible, and wreck generally outmacroed him, but he annihilated him with the ultras lol. In the last part he even went so far as to split his army in half, his hydras/roaches killing the terran's gold expansion while his 8 or so ultralisks took out terran's nat which was fortified with about 15 hellions, and 8 tanks? Dang... From watching his games it's definitely a viable alternative to putting BLs in your army (which I find boring).

well to be fair a person with the ultras is just going to go a move afk cuz rofl ultras dont need micro

and the person defending is just going to a move afk cuz rofl ultras suck
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I just watched 1 game but you were just so superior that it didnt convince me that for example brood lords wouldnt have been better, and the Ts micro and macro just looked very weak

I'll keep watching

Well i watched your stream, last guy was asking for tips

Of course you can use them, but ppl you've played put 2 tanks in front of their marauder army

try ultra vs late game terran where he has complete army, preferably with >10 siege tanks
