Enough about that! Here comes the part the you were waiting for 
100 Sentries vs 100 Mutas!
Well, people have been saying that Sentries counter Mutas. Now it's time to find out what happens when you send 100 at eachother!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
33 Colossi (Clossus) vs 33 Thors!
What happens when the two largest ground forces for the Protoss and Terran clash?
+ Show Spoiler + We learned in this video that the Thor's special attack has a VERY short range. For this reason they still weren't able to win in round 2. However, do note in the 1v1 that it completely decimates the Colossus. This is because it stuns the target and they cannot do anything. If used correctly, the Thor can basically eliminate a major unit in big battles. For this reason the Thor's full potential is not witnessed here.

100 Zealots vs 200 Marines!
Zealots have leg upgrades while Marines have Stimpack+Shield upgrade.
+ Show Spoiler + Talk about a one sided slaughterfest. Even without the Stimpack and Shield upgrade I think the Marines would have still won easily. However, in realistic settings Zealots are extremely powerful against Marines.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
200 Probes vs 200 Drones!
Well, everyone always says that Probes are over powered. Can they go toe to toe against an equal army of drones?
+ Show Spoiler + My friend is a goof and didn't tell his drones to attack at first. The result is double surprising if you consider the fact they got a late start.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
400 Zerglings vs 100 Zealots!
After the nerf, can Zealots hold their own against 400 Cracklings?
+ Show Spoiler + Zealots had legs and Zerglings had speed + attack speed upgrades. After making this I realized the attack upgrade for Zerglings may be a bit overpowered for this experiment. Perhaps I'll revisit it again sometime...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
100 Phoenix vs 100 Mutalisks!
Can the new Protoss anti-air fighter live up to the Corsair?
+ Show Spoiler + While this is pretty 1 sided I would like to note that Mutalisks are extremely effective in ZvP and Protoss tend to have a difficult time dealing with air. That is just my experience anyway.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
50 Archons vs 33 Ultralisks!
In StarCraft 1 Archons vs Ultralisks was usually a pretty close fight. What about in SC2?
+ Show Spoiler + It was pretty difficult to find a spot on the map that would allow all the units to attack eachother at the same time. However, I dont think the choke played a huge role in this battle as it was still pretty 1 sided. No upgrades of any sort for both.

I watched the Muta vs. Phoenix, maybe now people will stop whining about Z air

Nice compilation!
goddamn, sc2 archons are so bad
|
Ultras sound so damn akward.. really wish they would sound more powerful like in sc1 
|
Let me know if you have any requests!
I like to make these between intense gaming sessions as kind of a laid back side project.

Could you try a Viking against pheonixes fight?

What about a fight with ghosts vs mutalisks, same cost?
It would be interesting with and without snipe, though I don't think you could convert gas to minerals for the same rate. This would mean it's 3 mutalisks to every 2 ghosts cost-wise. Might be winnable though, even without medivacs.
Hellions massacring zerglings would be fun too, but nothing unexpected.
EDIT:
BTW, I feel that the ranged vs melee battles are unfair, and tend to favor the ranged group even more the higher the number, as seen so clearly in the marine vs zealot battle.

Awesome fights.
Can you try a Zealot vs Stalker fight with no upgrades (Since Blink vs Charge would require a good deal of micro)? See if Stalkers can hit a critical mass against Zealots.
Also Corruptors vs Void Rays.

Love these compilations thanks a ton again!

these videos are awesome man! Thanks!

The problem is that Zerg can mass muta way more easily than Protoss can mass phoenixes.
So even though phoenix *is* cost effective against mutalisk, muta to phoenix ratio is like 3:1 at best when mutas come to protoss base.
Protoss just can't forego robotics tech or he will get splatted by roaches, and going both robotics and stargate is just too costly.
Besides you would need to go double stargate to build enough phoenixes to counter muta anyway

When Husky upload them i will eit the topic and put them over here as well;)
|
so, phoenixes are faster, have almost instant acceleration, And they're better than mutas. nerf the phoenix.
|
Hey thanks for the vids, they were very good info!
I'm quite disappointed by how badly marines beat zealots. Zealots are supposed to be better than Marines since Marines are ranged and get to attack air.

The complaints about phoenix isn't that they don't work. It's that, if you are the protoss player, they have very few, if any, viable alternatives, that they are of extremely limited use against anything that isn't a mutalisk, and that as a result, you have to use them in an extremely reactionary fashion. If your opponent doesn't get mutas, you don't want any of them. If your opponent DOES get mutas, how many you need is controlled by how many mutalisks he builds, which both very dependent on good scouting information, and very passive by necessity.
Compare to corsairs. You didn't absolutely need corsiars to deal with mutas. Maelstrom/storm, maelstrom/archon, or, if your opponent wasn't very good, just straight up archon, were all viable, and dragoons weren't bad against them. But if you DID want to get corsairs, then you didn't have to match your production to the zergs: either you got corsiars, or you didn't, and if you played well, once your corsairs hit critical mass, which didn't depend on your opponent at all, you were then proof against virtually any number of mutalisks, as long as you played well, and didn't lose them to bad micro.
The phoenix is bad because there are very few, if any, viable alternatives, that phoenix production is nowhere near as flexible as mutalisk production, they are not versatile in their use against other zerg compositions, and the tech that builds them is not much good against the other tier 2 zerg unit.
Compare to terran, which have a much better production capacity. You can make thors, tanks, or, to a lesser extent, hellions, out of the same production facility (wasted tech lab, but you can). In small numbers, an outmacroing zerg will still overrun your thors with mass muta, but your muta counter is versatile enough to be useful against most force compositions when massed, and if he tech switches, your factories are still useful against whatever he puts out.

Without micro, Marines get slaughtered by Zealots in BW
