That wouldn't work, perfectly microed probes/drones > perfectly microed scvs

damn their range and rechargable hp/shields


SCV's can repair faster than shields/hp recharge.

Two or three SCV's work to repair each other and kill the enemy's nexus/hatchery/CC while whatever other SCV's there are work to force probes/drones to fight back, run, or be destroyed.

Zerg. Flawlessly microed zerglings, lurkers, perfect swarms, perfect plagues, every overlord constantly picking up weak units and redropping them etc.

Mostly it's the defilers that do it

Once again, SC would be perfect.

Because If all units microed perfect, then it's still even I guess O_O

Terran

terran has the most potential, its just extremely hard to get to that level

terran easilly

there is a reason P and Z need more expos then the T

its because there units kill at a much higher ratio then P and Z. if it wern't for there lack of mobility, P and Z would never beat them.

The thing is, flawlessly microed marines own flawlessly microed zerglings and lurkers. Flawlessly microed marines will run away from flawlessly cast swarms and plagues will be kept to a minimum.

I think one of the scariest things would be perfect medic micro to heal all marines amazingly. Also, running mechs from the battle at 1 red health, to get repaired and then return to the battle
"Oh no, we've drawn Judge Schneider" "Is that bad?" "Well, he's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog" "You did?" "Yeah...if you replace the word *kinda* with *repeatedly*...and the word *dog* with son"

even my terran friends like artosis and shit say that if the game was played perfectly, terran would be the best easilly. and they are the most self-hating players i've ever seen, always talking about how imba p and z are and how there are no terran maps and how hard terran is etc...

terran is the best race in raw form without a doubt. just the fact that they r so versatile on maps too make them even more deadly.

This is it for normal maps I think. At least terran is out of the question. Probe/drone rush and perfect simultaneous devil probe will kill all scvs immediately. And even if T managed to rush to get out a marine, the drone/probes would just move-shoot them to death before they cuold get many shots of. scvs trying to build bunkers would be deviled quickly as well.

But since the probes would never slow down to a standstill the acceleration wouldnt come into play. Shields recharge quicker than drones heal, but the drones can hunt down probes by perfect move-shoot micro, so once in range of each other, the one getting the upper hand will kill the other worker quite fast. So all in all i dont htink the porbe rush would work vs zerg. I claim that 4 probes cannot beat 6-9 drones, or however many you have by that time, since the probes can be killed by perfect move-shoot.

I think a perfectly microed 9 pool speedlings (all building will die quickly by just staying out of lot/probe range and approaching from all directions) can kill a toss that open with gates. Some sort of forge-first with a wallin and probe block if needed would probably defend this though, so imo, ZVP would at least go beyond lings/lots even with perfect micro.

Possibly a 2 hatch upped hydras would kill everything. cannons would probably not be enough (or would they?), and lots would die without getting a single hit in. I dont really know what toss can do to counter a 2 hatch hydra build actually.
Remember that zerg will cycle damaged hydras perfectly, while cannons stays where they are. And some fast zealot thingy to intercept hte hydra build will not work since drones are faster and will quickly devil-drone and/or move-shoot them to death without taking a single hit from the lots. Maybe if the cannons are up a ramp...

If it'd go to endgame, zerg would probably win since with a few defilers (and no cooldown consume) you can advance and lay out a carpet of swarm/plauge as quick as a defiler can move. Then you can easily corner the toss army somewhere and kill it with crack/ultra/lurk. Storm is an issue, but with queens and spawn broodling that shouldnt be too big a problem. Dont know if DAs could be a problem with mind control and/or feedback...

Same thing with endgame ZvT i think. carpet of swarm/plauge > terran. you would need a few hydras and scourges to defend from irradiate, but that should be ok. Just keep OLs exactly above the defiler to make it impossible for the terran to target them. Or pick them up just before vessels are in range in worst case. Im fairly sure that the outer part of a plauge will outrange irradiate, so the defiler should be able to get a plague of before getti gpicked up by the OL. so vessels shouldnt be a problem. And lurks > bats+medics, so you cant do anything with those. Same goes for mines. And tht is moreor less everything terran has that does damamge unders warm, so.... gg.

omg, that was a long post... well, that's the answer anyways.
Z > all (in theory)

This makes a paradox. Perfectly placed storms would always make the largest amount of marines possible take damage, but perfectly microed marines would never take damage from storms.

The "probes with perfect micro > all" is a good point, but I think it still wouldn't work. If you do a rush with your first 4 probes, you first have to scout, and when you've found him you don't do much damage. Your opponent can get a fast pool with a sunken, or marines, or a zealot (the perfectly microed probes could theoretically kill the zealot without taking damage but it takes far too long... when he's at low HP P will have more zeals already or a goon and then it's over). Basically, your perfectly microed probes can only win the game before the opponent gets his first combat unit. Which is unlikely to happen... if you wait for more than 4 probes you give him even more time for that.

Haven't y'all read the X comic?

perfect multiple moving-shot probes would rape the shit out of scvs.

Drones have a slight range advantage, though, so a 4-drone rush would theoretically win every game.

Addon to my last post: of course I'm assuming that you don't do some sort of greedy build, because then the perfect probes would kill you. But if you know you might get rushed by perfectly microed probes, you can get a pool/rax/gate *fast* enough and get a combat unit or sunken out in time, before all your workers die to the probes.
