Does that mean she uses the same kind of energy as zealots(for example) or some other kind of psy powers?



I think it just means she isn't dead and zerg regenerate their injuries, especially on creep. Perhaps he would have better luck chopping her head off.


That's a good point. If I remember BW well enough, you could damage cerebrates with dark templar, but they'd regenerate if you didn't finish them off.

The cerebrates are very different from Kerrigan. Cerebrates can be killed by anyone, but in SC1/BW the cerebrates "essence" would call out to the overmind and the overmind would regenerate them at a different location. Dark templar use a type of energy which can destroy the cerebrates essence, so they can kill a cerebrate permanently, but only after something kills the physical body.

In the case of Kerrigan, we don't know whether or not she has an "essence." We also don't know if another overmind exists or would ever return. Therefore, even if she had an essence and the overmind was capable of regenerating and replicating her current form and powers, there is no overmind currently that she could call.

Just since I want to create more gossip about the matter, if it's true that the 1 bullet was meant for Mengsk, whats the thoughts about at the beginning of the campaign on Mar Sara, where he fires his 2nd last round on the TV bulletin of Mengsk after marking Raynor as a threat to the Dominion? Apparently he had at least 2 rounds in that revolver.

Does he actually fire a bullet or just an empty chamber at the Mengsk broadcast? We only see a hole in the glass but not one going through the whole monitor. This is a futuristic revolver that would have to penetrate armor, so it's possible that the gun itself supplies some or maybe all of the propellant.

Also when he checks the gun before boarding Mengsk's ship (although it is Valarian on it) he rotates the cylinder so it will be the next shot fired, implying he keeps it saved and can easily put rounds in the other chambers.

I don't beleive there was "one bullet for mengsk". Raynor carried the sidearm frequently, in my midn as a momento fro mhis martial days. Made him feel like a boss...and was a "last tie" to his good side, so to speak. He shot the TV in the bar with it, presumably more than once since there was a warning sign telling him not to do it again.
However, in the cut scene before he goes after Valerian, he does in deed only have one bullet in the revolver...
Perhaps in the process of boarding and taking over a battlecruiser raynor ran his riffle dry and rather than bother reloading whipped out the side arm to finish a few off. By the time he got to the bridge, he had one round left.
That fits him to me, gets all the way to the point where he thinks he can kill Mengsk, has just ONE shot to do it and will be left unarmed, likely to die, and goes in head long anyway. The Tragic Anti-Hero if ever there was one.

Any of you remeber John McClain's two bullets at the end of Die Hard??

Didn't he also shoot the TV at the bar? So that would account for the 1st bullet, and the 2nd bullet into Tychus.... lololol.

I'm pretty sure he reloads it.

.Aar's got a point there, I think it was a weird turn of events in the campaign, will be interesting how the story line comes up in Heart Of The Swarm...:D
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

He checks the gun before he even boards the ship. Then the fighting starts.

He doesnt fire the revoler while on the ship as far as we know.

As other have said its not very unlikely that Blizzard may bring Tychus back in a way. If you remember from WC3 Muradin Bronzebeard was supposedly dead ("Killed" by Arthas when obtaining Frostmourne). But he came back in WoTLK as King of the frostborn, having amnesia until Brann and Magni find him agian.

Perhaps I'm alone in this sentiment, but this kind of bugs me because it reeks of shoddy, obvious, overly-melodramatic writing. This isn't anime. Fill up your damn gun with all the bullets it can hold. It's war, not poetry class.

That is kind of a cool thing. I wonder if they actually thought of it like that instead of just having totally screwed it up . Somehow I imagine that they borked it, based on all of the stupid things that went on during the SC2 campaign.

Hella fun, and well designed, but come on now.

Jack Sparrow and Jim Raynor has many similarities. I guess there is a Protagonist 101 class that all the writers attended in College.


lol, I remember having a similar thought when I watched the cinematic the first time.

I was hoping someone had read the books and had an insight into why he had a specific bullet saved, but it doesn't seem like that is the case. I'm all for a good symbolic moment of justice, but if there's no story at all to it, then I'm with Jibba on this one.

But didn't he shoot a bullet out of his pistol at the tv in the beginning cinematic? Or does that have nothing to do with the bullet. And i would think that he was saving it for Kerrigan because he needed to stop her throughout the campaign. Atl east thats what it made me believe even though he probably wants to kill him instead.
Do you see what I see?

Maybe, just maybe, he spent most of his budget buying weapons and armour for his men (and alcohol) and only had enough credits to purchase one bullet.

Alternatively, he saved one bullet ever in case he was captured by the Zerg? Too many Zombie movies for me T_T
I wasted my nights, you turned out the lights, now I'm paralysed, still stuck in that time...
