Moletrap has put the video on the SC2GG server for download, if people want it. link is on the main page - http://www.sc2gg.com

I'm not going to direct link, that might actually cause an issue, haha.

It's also on VioleTAK, too:

Posting direct links to big downloads on another site is in poor taste. They are paying for the bandwidth without getting the hits.

Btw the video interviews were very interesting, I suggest everyone checks them out.

Few thoughts:

-At the start it looked and felt like cnc3 with the mass phoenixs etc (I do realise that these are noob battles), but after a minute it felt very starcraft-esque, especially the zerg bases

-Ultras look so freaking awesome, they just bash into that cc and tear it apart

-I lol'd hard at the 2 ghosts scaring off the zerg player and his 9 (yes 9) ultras

-I HAVE NEVER FUCKING WANTED SC2 MORE THAN RIGHT NOW OMGOGMGOMG

Mothership has an ability that is like stasis x10! Oh.. SC2 is going to be great!

EDIT: The interview is pretty interesting.. but some things he said were just wtf: "We will start a league on normal speed (not fastest) and it will only have maps that are designed to prevent rush strategies"

?? eh...

What did you not understand about a casual ladder for casual players that don't want to play on the fastest speed?
I don't see what is hard to comprehend about it; yes, it won't be anything that most TL members will be interested in, but then again it isn't made for you either.

That probably makes sense. Unfortunately, too many people (casuals) can't deal with fastpaced strategic gameplay such as Starcraft would have. See also the popularity of UMS-games and money maps. If Blizzard doesn't want to alienate them and drive them off to community-created alternatives (or just quit SC2 altogether) they can implement their own solution and see to it that there's some quality assurance.

He said it was a beginners league, they will have several ladders.

No, but before the other 2 ghosts came the zerg was running his ultras away and swung back in when the other 2 ghosts came down uncloaked, then they cloacked and blocked the ramp.

I think the spine crawler really looks like a whale penis. But strangely enough, I dont really mind it.

Other than that I think this looks pretty damn good

Afaik that's what they do to buildings, and have a separate animation for units.

correct me if i'm wrong but is there no footage of DTs, seige tanks, HTs, medivac???
i find it really baffling that there is no footage of the original baller units? are they just trying to keep these oldies-but-goodies hidden away from the public or have i missed a video or what?!

hellions need to be removed... (my most hated unit in sc2) speed of a vulture... weapon of a firebat (with better range) i cant fathom how that can be balenced... think of ppl just suicideing them into zerg/terran/protoss's minaral line destroying all the workerings in like 5 seconds...

Also.. the unit looks like it was from a cnc or one of those other rts games;/ looks cheesy to me

I've never before seen videos of SC2 and thought it looked as HELLA F***ING FUN as it did in the first of these videos... damn the graphics are so cool and yet the game transists so smooth. I'm really impressed and I SOOOOO want to have this game on my computer right now! :D

Also some notes:

The ultras look cool but walks like babies that just learn to walk while moving, they are also not as smooth in their attack movement as other units. They look amazing though!

Mothership looks... like a cute feature. That's about it - doesn't resemble of a starcraft unit to me yet.

Finally the game is played at fastest(?) and I think that's why these videos gave a great impression to me. Even though the micro or skill level of the video might not be that good, it looks so much more fun than on the Battle Reports!

Mothership seems like a great late game expansion defending unit since it can port to any base in an instant and shut down any doom drop for about 15 seconds with vortex.

wicked wicked wicked

I hope they add something extra to the Hellion, while it's cool, I feel it needs some sort of mechanic to be on par with the Vulture and to possibly help Terran with map control

mines or the suggested napalm trace would be really nice in my opinion

Those were corrupters but i dunno what makes it seem like they were one-shotting since that was a big ass bunch of them.
But they are supposed to be very strong anti-air - but I did wonder why the void rays didnt turn into stationary defense?

Mh thats probably true, sounds like a blizzardish thing to do, since Ultralisks do extra dmg (-> special attack) vs buildings

Most of it looks good. However, I think the zealots look kind of silly, mostly the running/fighting animation. Mothership seems weak and extremely slow, but its vortex ability looks useful. Cannons look kinda lame, especially since they removed their moving ability.
I really hope they remove that damn engine sound from the hellions as well. Damn annoying hearing them driving around.
1000 at least.

Yeah, Dustin is going on about the spectators ability to tell whats going on more in SC2, but it's kinda hard to tell who specifically the cannons are attacking because you keep missing their firing point without the movement animation while everythign else is going

hum, they turned in stationary turrets... No really a turret, but a small goo that shoots.
Have you seen the video on HD? See when corrupters kill the void rays again.

Three things caught my attention more then everything else:
1. What the bloody hell was that mothership whirlpool???
2. The attack animation of the zealot looks decent now. Running is still bad imo.
3. Forget about zealot movement, ultralisk movement is the worst I have seen in the game so far. In BW when you saw the ultralisk running towards your marines you thought "that thing will soon be smashing them" while now it looks like it's never gonna reach its target. It barely moves its legs and i think it will look even funnier when speed is researched. A giant behemoth with tiny legs. T_T

Actually, Its quite possible that speed upgraded ultralisks (if they have a speed upgrade) would have bigger legs (like zerglings get the wings)

Did anyone notice that those corruptors (?) - the units killing prottos air force, also do 2 kinds of attack - one like small green spits, and another a bunch of green stuff being shot at an enemy ship at once..

anyone know anything about that?

When a corruptor kills a unit, it spawns a little turret that floats in the air. The corruptors are firing the little dark green pellets, the big bright green swooshes are the turrets. It is nice to see that they completely face stomped those void rays but I still think it is no replacement for scourge.

However, am I the only one that is bothered by the command center lifting off? It just bounces into the air, like it has a spring under it. I keep expecting a "boing" sound effect.

Also the ultralisks swinging around at 120 rpms. Maybe they should turn down their rotation speed to about a third and then widen their attack arc so that they don't need to directly face whatever they are attacking.

-Ultralisk movement is a bit spastic
-If you look closely one of the immortals has a movement bug (around 5:00 in the first vid)
-I like the burning death animations from dying in flame.
-The sound of buildings cloaking and uncloaking could get annoying
-I love how banelings roll again (they didn't in br2 and br3)
-Corruptor ability is a gimmick
-Mutalisk animation looks cool, it will be a shame when they are all clumped together though
-Warp gates are a bit visually distracting, maybe the blackhole could only appear when units are warping units in
-Antigravity is a bit too distracting
-Spine crawler attack is less ambiguous now, better for the audience
-Broodlord looks really pathetic when it flaps
-Immortal attack animation looks cool

Overall the game looks great

One little nitpick I found was that at the start, when the zerg was attacking the toss base, it was kinda hard to distinguish all of the zerg units, being that they are so dark.

Edit: watched in HD and you can see the units easily, although this may be a problem for future vods of games if they are not in HD.

A line of spine crawlers killing a single marine with that animation is probably going to be the best part about this game

I know in HD everything looks crystal clear but chances are we'll be watching games on youtube anyways.

I'm hoping we will be watching most vods as actual replays in-game with real time rendering. 10000% better than a vod. (As long as they decide to add sound recording) (Also.. will probably require blizzard to allow replays to be 'locked' in some way to only allow playback from the observers chosen view with no stats shown or pro's will not allow their replays to be shown because their build orders etc will be too well analyzed by people).
