I am thoroughly impressed with those SCIENTIFIC in depth analysis. Scouts are obviously the best scouting unit of the game. Good job, sir.

You can hit your own sair and with splash and good micro kill the wraith.
Like reaver + zealot > lurker.

That's why sairs are better.
Because they can kill wraiths alone and because you won't need a dual tech ( robo + stargate )

The best fight is Scout versus an observer, because the scout Is so ANGRY he can't see it! but the observer is a puny wuss and can't even hurt the darn scout. so it tackles the scout with no success.

0-0(tie)

Scout has a heck of alot of hp though. It can last a while.

Funny post. When vanilla SC was first released, weren't all air units able to see mines (not too sure about this one)? If that were still the case, then this would actually be valid.

Can this unit be seen by tanks??
Observer - 1 (2)
Scout - 0 (2)


This is really crucial. Any unit that can be seen by a tank is vulnerable to attack. I think this question really struck at the meat of the issue.




What in the world? an Observer can be seen by a tank? wtf!?

Also, no way that a Queen can spawn broodlings in a reaver, another wtf?

I mean it's pretty obvious. Scouts are called scouts for a reason. Man protoss players are so dumb with their observers :O

in pvt u need mins more then gas early barring a early carrier bo u can survive off 2 gas till arbs, wasting all that money on a non cloaked ob that dosen't have detection. YOU USUALLy MAKE MANY OBS, the difference in cost is much more apparent.

Good analysis.
But your "image rating" thing is busted.

Man, I haven't played Starcraft in five years. I just started up again last week and constantly get my ass kicked. If more toss would just use scouts instead of observers, the world would be a better place for Terran players everywhere. I fully support this very analytical and logical deduction!

:D
