Mutalisks shots still bounce, although not as far as before. Also, their attack 'shriek' is gone. | ||

keep in mind this is being played not on the Fastest speed, probably Average/Normal or whatever, yet still something seemed off there. maybe they had tons of upgrades  also keep in mind that yes while the 2 Colluses racked up tons of zergling kills, they were with the support of 16 upgraded zealots (5 total zealots were dead by the end of the zergling massacre) attacking before and through the whole duration, i imagine 2 reavers along w/ 16 zealots would also do fairly well vs gigantic groups of zerglings like that also while they said Dustin Browder said the word 'create' when he was warping in the first stalkers, I believe he meant warp in already created units through using the Warp Gates to be able to transport units to anywhere on the map that is powered by protoss psionic energy field (so what pylons and phase prisms both provide) | ||

Small detail probably mentioned already: riot shields and bayonets on the Marines. Makes sense that they have something to counter Zerglings and Zealots. Not sure if they actually have a purpose. | ||

Protoss now have the ability to create shields whenever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. | ||

On the other hand, surround/kill micro against col with lings will be less effective. you could take out an archon in bw with like 8 cracklings if they attacked it from all sides at once. colossus however, will just melt them all with laser ... unless, of course, they made this damage-carry-over ability work only if successive targets are within a reasonably small angle from one another - that would be best. | ||

AH i now understand completely! ok this guy who was sending comments live as he was watching the video at the event, he undoubtedly got all his info from what he saw there at the event. Now, he tells us about this 'protoss having the ability to create shields whenever they want' was put right after the terran reapers intro he gave but before the "warp units anywhere in pylon range." And in the gameplay video which is the same video he was watching you can tell he is obviously mixing up 'shield' with 'power field' (the reapers jump into toss base, kill a pylon, Dustin Browder says "the Protoss can use their Phase Prisms to create a power field anywhere they wish"). Looking at the video, to someone who's quickly writing these bits and sending them live and who doesn't know Starcraft very well, you can see why he didn't know what to call the power field. Long paragraph short, I have no doubt, there is no "Create shields wherever they want" ability for the Protoss. | ||
