Which unit had the best death sound/animation?

[MrFrancko]

I was inspired by something paragon said about the Hydralisks being very satisfying to watch die. I was thinking about this and some of the death animations are kind of hilarious. I personally think that the marines are the craziest. They pretty much explode.

[paragon]

the medic hands down

they explode and the shield flies around

[10-Neon]

I have to agree. That "bleargh" along with the animation is very satisfying.

[paragon]

I have to agree. That "bleargh" along with the animation is very satisfying.

Yeah they sound good too medics and marines both.

[mc2]

The best death animation would have to be a carrier being killed while all of its interceptors are out flying. Because the interceptors will last another 1 second or so after the carrier dies, you see them go off one by one. Looks cool

[SirBaron]

In terms of sound: Zergling. Works best when a lot die on a row.
In terms of animation: Medic death animation is very satisfying. Especially since they pump marines and firebats full of that... what do you call it... life.

[Fenix]

I rather like the 'ling deaths and Lurker deaths. Huge massive amounts of blood. Works nice with Siege Tanks and Reavers.

[Itsmyship]

Another fun death was always the Ultralisk death as well...he's all cool one second, then the next he just goes SPLAT!

hey! i was part of that conversation too! (hydraliskburger)

dragoons. they spray blue stuff everywhere.

[SirBaron]

I remember the DT having some kickass death sound as well. Zealot and Dark Templar, behind 'lings.
Also the lurker's death animation is kickass, one of the better in the game.

Essentially, anything that sprays blood around it like characters in Tarantino-films do when they die are high on my list. Blood <3

[[LightMare]]

dragoon, zealot, probe =C marine, medic

[Fenix]

Dear sweet Lord son. You spelled Praetor wrong.

[[LightMare]]

oh god! i didn't even save a psd of this sig!!!!!

[Major Willy]

I enjoy taking out Carriers one at a time for the huge psisplosion noise they make.
Just listen the next time.
It's A.

Dunno what's better... SCVs and their explosions or the Carrier noise...

[MrFrancko]

I just think, when it comes to deaths, the protoss are lame. They just go up in a blue flame or something lame. I know they are good warriors and all that jazz but at least go out yelling. Snap.

[paragon]

Actually any units being mass killed by a nuke is really cool.

[SirBaron]

Actually any units being mass killed by a nuke is really cool.

Any units being mass killed by mass siege tanks is teh awesome. Although nukes are cool too... they're cool.

[generalrievous]

i think kerrigan's whip like attack was kool and of course anything that got nuked

[paragon]

I love mass siege tanks on the cliffs. Especially when they can't get up the cliff. And especially on the top right corner of lost temple covering that one expansion.

Yeah the ground sorta just explodes with blood.

[MrFrancko]

Lings are definitely funny when they are mass killed. It makes such a mess. I also agree with Nukes really make my day when they go off.

[stat]

lets get it on. i hear you man. excellent.

[paragon]

hopefully the death animations will all be better in starcraft 2. the battlecruiser's animation seems rather lame currently because it just kinda falls a little bit and then in a very cartoony fashion, breaks apart.

[Itsmyship]

I hear you...I either want it to crash hard on the ground, or I want it to have a bunch of smaller explosion followed by its ultimate demise

[paragon]

even the huge explosion in starcraft was better

[mc2]

Lots of red is always good

HUUUUUUUUUHH!!?!?!?! Does that pick say 436/800...? How is that even possible

[UchihaItachi0129]

OMG HACKS >< idk is that hacks? XD

i hope they become that dodad in SC like was it norad or some other hero battlecruiser. like the battlecruiser was on the ground and broken at the "neck" part.

[raimu]

although it essentially never happens, mass observer sounds real cool

i enjoy killing lurkers a good bit as well

[TerranGod]

when lings die they say WAH

i like marine/medic/ghost animation of dieing and the sound as well

edit?

when dragoons die...it sounds like f*ck you

[Dreadnought]

Killing High templar is my favorite. They just sort of vanish but I HATE THEM SOO MUCH! good riddance! I dont want to even have to look at a corpse of them!

[DDDx]

i liked the infested terren sounds and the arcoh sounds.

and yeah the high temps had cool animation too, i liked it when they moved.

and zerglings were fun to look at too.

[cereal]

Dragoons, I love the way all that blue stuff pours out. Lurkers are fun to kill too.

[tweakismyname]

medics were the best,
the way they splattered and went Ahh!

[I)4rk]

Hahaha I loved to ALWAYS WATCH Hydras die to storm. Espcially if they were maelstormed.... Oh man just the whole thing... juicy melts down kinda dael was great.

[Major Willy]

I still like the Carrier explosion and sound.

And when I hear an Ultralisk die and watch the bones and blood I wish my Marines could teabag.

[stat]

dragoon sound nice when they die.

[WaterGolem]

Firebat sound is cool. Ya can hear their anguished cry as a fireball engulfs them after their fuel tank is ruptured by that stray hydra acid spine...but the animation's pretty gay. Best animation is the dragoon. I bet the lings try and eat the cryogenic goo and get like poisoned or something. Stupid animals. And I like the way ya can see the marines head lying there afterwards

[TerranTemplar]

Zealots i particularly liked because they dissipated into a blue flame. Marines were also excellent because they burst like a balloon :P

[slugonice]

dark templars?

do people see them (become visible) when they die?

[StarCraft144000]

Yeah they go up in blue flames.

[[LightMare]]

The best death animation would have to be a carrier being killed while all of its interceptors are out flying. Because the interceptors will last another 1 second or so after the carrier dies, you see them go off one by one. Looks cool

just like a chicken without it's head

[slugonice]

okay, my answer for this one is the....


PROTOSS DRAGOON!!!

te nee neeet!!! *weird sounds

[BnechbReaker]

HYDRALISK

[Skandal]

Observers...such a big explosion for something so small.
awesome sound to

[JBL]

Let me introduce the map maker's point of view.

the death animations and sounds of starcraft units are a very important part of the quality of a good ums map since it can be used as special effects..

my personally favorites are the hallucinated unit, the creep colony (chosen for its size, it's easier to place than most zerg building), archon, dark archon, tank, valkyrie, kakaru (valk (or wraith) and kakaru can be stacked together for a sweet orange/blue effect), dragoon (for a the blue stuff that remains there for ages.)

There are many other useful deaths.. it depends of what you are trying to do...

oh yeah I forgot the observer, very cool one indeed.

[Sikhye23]

i always thought it was hilarious how the dark archon just went "poof" and how drones always looked and sounded like bugs that were squashed. I hope the immortals and/or the stalkers bleed like the dragoon, its death was always refreshing.

[pro]

when you click on a critter about 50 times they explode imo thats the best one

[ProtossZealotfan]

I'd have to say marine. lol i remeber when i took the SCMdraft editor and created a line of like 500 marines and killed them all. I just can't get off the reason they explode. They never explode in the cutscenes or anything.. and in broodwar im sure when alexi stokov died. he didnt blow up. Maybe the marines armor has a chemical reaction? Cause in SC2, marine dont explode unless they get hit with a seige tank or something.

[Metathron]

Unlike some of you, I actually prefer the Protoss blue flame death animations to the various bloody deaths. My favourite is the dragoon, which really stands apart from the rest. The High Templar's death is also very cool, especially the sound, and rather satisfying if they happen to be your enemies. ^_^

[Drafter]

I liked medics death sound,instant classic...

[Arachanox]

High Templar. When he dies, he leaves behind a hallucination of himself, and then fades into oblivion. Sounds cool.

[kuvasz]

Guardian! Reminds me of an old man gurgling on his cough syrup while falling off the stairs.

Another fun death was always the Ultralisk death as well...he's all cool one second, then the next he just goes SPLAT!

I second that :D

[Drafter]

Wow Arachanox you even have a title"Judicator Arachanox" and an army's name"Twilight Swarm"....cool.

erm,I will call myself Admiral Drafty(oh God my name suck...).

[kenshin72]

U know wat's boring- Protoss archon just explode like wtf ?

[WaterGolem]

Also the infested terran is cool if ya get him before he suicides. They just sort of...fall apart. Mid-stride

[freedom23]

the NUKE! missile
