Assuming zerg controlls well and doesn't clump mutas, wouldn't mass muta beat thor/hellion or muta/ling/bling if terran mixes in some marines for support. Fungal growth would probably also have good results by preventing the marines and hellions from kiting. This is all speculation though. | ||

Once theres 3 or 4 Thor's out though, the Roaches just... melt. Ok, so you want other numbers. Roaches cost 2 supply, at 75/25, a Thor's 300/200 and 6 supply. 3 roaches per thor, but their 16 vs a Thor's 60 and twice as much range, with 400-esque HP I believe? (don't remember its HP, never really make em) Anything else? | ||

Fungal growth would probably also have good results by preventing the marines and hellions from kiting. This is all speculation though. People tested where if you have a good ball of thors, even the normal number of 4 mutas to kill 1 thor is off. You need a larger amount of mutas than that to take on the ball of thors. So just having a mass of mutas doesn't really work. Of course, you could just skip the thors and try to base race, but that's pretty tough. | ||

I'm pretty sure mech was always using thors with blue flame hellions. Mech is hellions + thors + tanks. Tank marine is tank marine, which isn't mech at all. | ||

Mech is thor hellion tank sometimes viking banshee. Thor/hellion cuts all the excess and makes a ball of death that is more difficult to deal with, can't be caught out of position without infestors and excellent scouting, and complements each other by destroying each others good counter mix. | ||

i end up losing anyway Ultralisk are one of the dumbest units pathfinding wise and anyone who complains they are easy to get a perfect flank with or anything like that needs to go back to bw and use dragoons... cause thats all i think when my 3 ultras run into the corner of a ramp and end up behind your mineral line somehow but boy was did it feel nice when i actually got to attack and kill stuff | ||

Does it really matter that ultras do less splash considering they can just fodder shots so that banelings and lings can clean house? Hellions. 'nuff said. | ||
