When I tested with all upgrades, the Archon beat the Ultra.

In response to the OP saying it is based on who gets the first hit:

Archon always gets first hit
it has range

Archons > ultras =D. IMO.

12 archons vs 12 ultralisks, 12 ultralisks lost


I'm not sure where the 12=1 comes into your reasoning

dude all im saying is. i'd rather have an archon than an ultra
archons have splash + rechargable shields

think about it. 2 hts = 4 storms + archon

;] much better

Ultra > Archon in swarms
Archons > Ultras with splash (note the plural)
Ultra > Archon in economic aspect (resources required + occupying 2 gateway)

Conclusion:
Archons > Ultras (splash)

Yeah but it feels like archons die easier. Plus one EMP and it is completely useless. Nothing I can think of that renders an Ultra completely useless immediately besides maelstrom, which doesn't last long, and mind control, but that effects archons the same.

Regen HP what a joke lol. If you have a Ultra sitting around waiting for its HP to recover(~5 min at least, probably closer to 10)... you need to learn how to play this game. Archons have batteries that work in like 2 seconds.

Terrans have irridiate, having a 100 hp ultra is almost as useless as a 10 hp archon

I considered that. But seeing as how it takes a while for irradiate to work then it isn't immediate . Also an irradiated Ultra still has an opportunity to be useful. If it is irradiated during a battle then you can plague T's marines. But my ZvT sucks so I have no idea lol.

It's not, how many times do you see irradiated ultralisks tear into MnM groups?

This. Probably the worst move a terran could make would be to irradiate a bunch of full HP ultras that are attacking his rines, considering the irradiate doesn't kill them that quickly and does massive splash damage to the rines.
