I would say: Protoss: Slightly elitist, "my units are more powerful therefore i'm better", also easily impressed by shiny objects. Zerg: Slightly megalomaniac, "all your map are belong to me", also probably turned on by tentacle anime Terran:Slightly Pyromaniac, "Duuh i has a boomstick", also probably thinks the other races are for elitist idiots or anime tentacle lovers. also probably turned on by tentacle anime maybe... *shifty eyes*  but anyways. I love zerg. I fell in love with thta race the moment i saw them. There's something beautiful about the way the way they assimilate or eradicate all lifeforms they come across in their neverending goal of biological perfection. Also studying zoology might have biased me a little. I play random though. Know thy enemy and all that jazz | ||

Originally, in SCBW, I played Terran, because I percieved that they were the most versatile. After getting more comfortable with the controls of the game, I figured that Zerg would actually fit my playstyle more. There are so many different strategies available for ZvT and ZvP, and figuring out when you can squeeze an extra drone or two is a crucial skill. And ZvZ is just so much fun anyways. Having watched a few streams of SC2, I figured Terran was the most versatile race. And, having played ~100 games over the course of the beta, I figured I made the right choice. There are so many options available. | ||

Protoss on the other hand offer the most specialized units. If you like to micro, protoss is for you because a lot of success is based on your ability to use force fields, storms, blinks etc. The mentality of protoss in a non-rush game is this - get a unit combination that crushes the enemy opposition, and employ it before the enemy gets the chance to counter it. This can be said for any race but I feel it's most pronounced with protoss. The Zerg is for people who like to be passive and macro up. You also get early map control, which is nice. Zerg require you to know when to cut workers for army production and vice versa. This is what the early map control can help a lot with. Opposite to protoss, generally zerg require very little micro. If you like to expand all over the place and outproduce your opponent, this is the race for you. | ||

Best post(s) in the thread.. -To me I find alot of people who first pick up the game play protoss and then switch once they get bored / feel comfortable with other races. Random is also good to use because like Day[9] said..He doesn't go "OMG This strategy is so imbalanced" he goes "Oh, i'm going to use this strategy next time in this matchup.." | ||

Terran looked quite different. It seemed like every time I lost to a terran, it was to a different army composition or playstyle. MMM, mech, rine/raven, mass vikings... Terran can make almost anything work in almost any matchup. Being able to switch the functionality of buildings, and having a very dynamic teching system, makes it an incredibly versatile race. Plus, mech looks badass. I snapped off of toss and caught on to terran almost immediately. Toss just didn't fit how I play RTS. Moral of the story: If you don't feel comfortable with your race, switch. Learning new races isn't hard at all if they're more suited to your playstyle, and you'll have way more fun. Toss is for more calculated, chessboard type players. Terran is for reactionary, quick thinking players. And Zerg is for the overpowering, macro-until-you-break sort of player. | ||

But also Zerg, (zerglings)... mostly referring to a game TLO vs some protoss player (I think it was in Europe VS Asia, where TLO continuously harassed the protoss player to death, with speedlings finding weak points and immobility). That was actually cerra-werra . | ||

I've also heard it referred to as "original post" like in a thread. Am I mistaken? Protoss - Flashy Terran - BIG GUNS Zerg - Sneaky sneaky | ||

Protoss macro is more difficult in SC2? What? Really wish people had the ability to take a step back and be objective once in a while. Not that this thread isn't silly to begin with, but goll-EEE! ~._.~ It comes down to, as people have said, what you're most comfortable with. After 20 or so games it should be pretty apparent. I played random until Zerg clicked in--also interested in Terran but don't like the mirror at all. Also isn't as my style as I would have thought. Played Zerg in BW, too. | ||

Protoss - People who are noble and proud, a little bit arrogant, play this race. Zerg - People who faced and learned the harsh conditions of life and went to bottom but still had the skill to rise up against all obstacles, play this race. Terran - Like Zerg players, people who know the harsh conditions of life and get used to it but on the other hand who are so arrogant, play this race. | ||
