drone, probe, SCV
ling, zealot, firebat
hydra, goon, marine (goliath),
lurker, reaver, tank (vulture)
muta, scout (arbiter), wraith
devourer (scourge), corsair, valk
devourer + guardian, carrier, BC
queen, arbiter (corsair), vessel
overlord, shuttle, dropship
overlord, observer, vessel (lifted building)
defiler, DA (HT), medic
dark templar, ghost
infested terran, mine, (nuke)
ultralisk, archon
Spells
plague, emp
storm, irradiate
broodling, MC, yamato
ensnare, stasis (maelstrom), lockdown
burrow, P cloak, T cloak
regeneration, recharge, heal (repair)
swarm, d web, d matrix
parasite, hallucination, scan
recall, nydus canal

storm has no parallel and sits on a lone podium on top of mount everest
even blizzard knew this, so they gave a cheatcode to prevent opponents from casting the spell, the only cheatcode of its kind:
"noglues"

None of them are 1 to 1 equivalents. I think Irradiate with it's splash and solid kill value is as close as it gets.
On the noglues situation kek:

the irradiate is somewhat equivalent to the storm it splashes out stuff
but lets take it a bit further
it’s the same with the emp
they both excrete cringe stuff while the emp is not that different and exit out of the inner terran
it gobbles way less energy than it start with but it usually comes back
not to mention the ability to disable and damage shields
it's a damage spell
like storm and irradiate!

But it doesn't kill, Adel. Just like plague. That's why they are both together sitting in a tree.

To discuss the Unit and Spell Similarities or lack there of between the difference species of Brood War.
Or suggest your own similarities if u would do them differently.

I would have put storm and plague together since those spells are used in the same fashion for the same purpose of lowering hp, and storms don't necessarily kill the units targeted. Feedback from DA would have been a good match with irradiete or emp.

Yeah in game storm and plague are pretty similar. Some units have enough HP to survive a single storm as well.
Feedback has no AOE tho.

No that's Adel tarnishing the good LUCKY_NOOB nickname.
I discuss things with myself in my mind exclusively.
