Husky just posted this, cannot wait for the bm on the ladder now :D
Before we get a discussion about how blizzard should balance their game before doing stuff like this, please remember that a game has more than just a balance team.
HuskyStarcraft; I'm pretty sure the guy who does unit animations in the game has absolutely nothing to do with balance design. And by 'pretty sure' I mean I met the guy who does animations for the game, and he has nothing to do with the balance team . Multiple parts of the game are worked on at the same time, regardless of how well the game is currently balanced.
This is really cute. I especially love the Colossus dance, which should be amazing when the Protoss ball stands supreme amongst the ashes of the opponent's dead army. And Parting should have fun with the new Immortal dance.
Might as well post Husky's response in the yt comments to get ahead of the game.

And on another note, we finally have proof the immortal CAN shoot air, they just choose not to. Lazy buggers.

Not the same team doing that stuff, people would be silly to complain. Specially since Blizzard Art team is probably the best thing left at Blizzard. ^^
The marauder and overlord dances are pretty nice, though not sure if the dances will still remain for the the marauder, queen, and immortal after gangnam style goes out of style.

It already is.
if that is true then they made 7 dances, which is even more amazing :D
The Oracle dance was made some time ago already, together with the Roach, Stalker and MULE. With those they've announced the contest for the new dances you see now.

Even if Gangnam style fades away (and it will since pop songs just do that), the dances still are awesome. They are not bluntly copied, each dance from each unit has its special touch. They can work as "generic" dance too.
The colossi dance was performed by a good friend of mine, Edon Hudan, he is a brazlian sc2 player that lives in a poor state, Rio Grande do Norte, if u guys wanna say hi to him, go to his facebook page!
This is amazing, I love things like that. It will be pretty fun early game when the overlord is in place and you have nothing to do to /dance him, especially in pro games
I just don't really like the colossus dance and the ghost dance because I feel like they really aren't like in the videos which were submitted but it's better than nothing.

"Hammer time" has been out of style for me since forever and it's still here. Some things you just can't get rid of.
We kept trying to get rid of it, but they wouldn't let us touch it.
<.<
I'm sorry...
Best reply ever. ^_^ I see what you did there. ^_^ And the dances are awesome too, I just hope they will make more since there were a lot of other dances that were good.
I hope to see more dances in replays, for example when the game is decided and one players enters in the main enemy base with a big bio ball, a /dance with all units will be awesome. "GG" "/dance" xDDDD
Is this real? Looks like the videos are made ingame, so someone had to animate them. Would be hilarious if I could danke my Marauder in Gangnamstyle. :D
