Who would you like to mind control?

[alucardx]

If you´re playing with protoss and you have enough minerals and gas to start up with a new race,,, wuld you prefer to control SCv´s or Drone´s??? Fact of the matter,,, which can be better ally to protoss and why? >:D

[Nikzad]

Oh man this is a great idea for a thread, :powerup:

Ok let's see...if you were facing Zerg as the bigger threat, I would go for Terran, because you can use Siege Tanks to protect your base, and right behind the siege tanks, place reavers, to kill any zerglings that might overwhelm and get too close. You could throw in a few HTs for good measure in there as well. Science vessels and irradiate would work very well too, of course, to break up those large Zerg forces. Medics can heal any damage under the shields :o Marines and zealots would be great, a combination of great melee and range basic units. And what about cloaking your tank blockades with an arbiter?! Would that be crazy or what?

If you were facing Terran as a bigger threat, Zerg would be my choice. Guardians for taking out the siege tank blockades and corsairs to back them up. I think that would be a crazy combination. Also, Zerg have detectors that are much more easy to maintain and produce. Zerglings/ultralisks could be sent in first to detract fire from siege tanks while zealots come second. Hydralisks would work well with zealots, similarly to marines. And how about an Infested Terran recall? Recall, burrow, then wait until the arbiter dies. Attack from the front, then unburrow your forces at the CC! How about plague, ensnare, and psi storm together? Haven't you always wished you could psi storm that group of 24 plagued BCs before they get away? And plague for those annoying science vessels sounds good too!

If you get Zerg vs a Zerg, recall a small defensive force while you pop a nydus canal up!

The possibilities are endless!

[Lemmy]

Id like to mind control Pamela Anderson. :)

[TheFearless]

i would go for zerg. dt+swarm+ultra=ownage

[PowerkickasS]

agree with nikzad vs powerful zerg with terran players ingame:
ahahahaha medic + arbiters
ahahahaha medics + lots + rines
ahahahaha halucination + bcs (unless plague =/)
ahahahaha recall + terran (terranss kill so fast it =D)

vs terran with zerg players ingame:
hydralisks/mutas + zealots = wow gg mecha
speedhydras + websairs = ^_^
cars + sairs + guards = ?

[Nikzad]

Nikzad, your startegy is only for countering ground attack from zerg.


Well I wasn't describing an all-inclusive strategy, I was just highlighting the points that I thought would be extra awesome if they teamed up. It they came with guardians and devourers, I'd use corsairs and wraiths...I guess. I am so n00b hehe

[Lemmy]

Come on, mind controling workers is useless. First you have to get MC (high up the tech tree) and right after that, just work all your way up to the kind and ammount of units taht will be effective at that part of the game. Complete waste of time, plus extremely hard to do... Also MC a zerg and you will have to start a base elsewhere, since the creep wouldnt let you build in your main base if you zerged there.

[Nikzad]

hydralisks and marines aren't that far up, and they can be used at all stages of the game

[PowerkickasS]

have any of you guys actually tried a worker-mc-rush!? like dark archon + shuttle + zealot as meatshield while mc occurs. i think we should and see how well it pays off =D

[Nikzad]

that would probably be the most time-consuming rush ever...what's the goal? mc and multi-race? or sabotage their economy by taking 1 worker ;D?

[PowerkickasS]

lol. but you know what i mean by rush. ok it wont work without an expansion, so early game you need to cannon-choke on your expansion then expand. then prioritise teching and get your shutle + dark archon + mind control asap and gooo!!!

[generalrievous]

I usually end up getting both :P

but seeing how thats not an option guess ill go with the scv

[Deadpool]

i think the terran r better allies wen playing as the protoss for reasons like the 1s nikzad posted great job

[Z-BosoN]

I would mind-control a Medic :P

[Wlck742]

I would mind control Blizzard to give me the game early. ;D

[MarineCorp]

i would go for zerg because they pwn

[Yrcrazypa]

Terran, they work a little better in conjunction with the protoss since they don't have the creep. Although zerg would be a great help as well if you just build somewhere else, having an army of lots of little units from the zerg and big units from the protoss would be a big help. Imagine guardians and carriers attacking at once.

[brc9210]

Imagine goons combined with vultuers and tanks plus a arbiter and a few HT.

[kenshin72]

Terran and protoss is a good combination im not shure about zerg coz of the creep part it always goes on its own

[StarCraft144000]

Terran because the zerg race you use creep to explained and protoss dont neither do Terran so the good chose would be Terran.

[Protosscommander]

I would you like to mind control the Zerg because, they are very powerful against enemy buildings specialy when it comes to the Zerg unit Defiler, when you are controling the Protoss campaign and your enemies are the Terran Dominion, you can instantly destroy those Terrans bunker and Other buildings because of the, wait i forgot the name the one color Blood, that the Zerg Defiler Released.. ;)

[ManInTheShadows]

The terrans bunkers backed by photons.. scary

[Snake]

Id like to mind control Pamela Anderson. :)
We think alike.

[joshin]

lol I came into the thread thinking... OO yeah Jessica Alba!

but umm... I'd say Terran, just because you can lift off the buildings you don't really need and because the creep might get in the way. Tanks are always nice, medics for restore and lockdown/nuking is fun.

[GrahamTastic]

I would mind control Blizzard to give me the game early. ;D

YES YES YES! Give me a copy once you do that. And I'd like to meet your Dark Archon.

Ok, anyway, I find it hard to build up on two different tech trees at once while still trying to be effective. (don't criticize my limited mental dexterity 8)) and plus, the Protoss can hold their own. (in my experience)

[pro]

id think terran if i was protoss... you cant build on the creep and that gets annoying but i am a t player and i only 1;1 koreans on lt

[timedragon888]

Terran, cause they can get medics, which are the ONLY things that can heal biological protoss units. Other than that, they dont get healed. Imagine, a few zealots backed up by shield batteries and medics...
Cannons behind bunkers sound nice too.

Although I usually play Zerg...

[BnechbReaker]

i would like to mind control you :p

[BirdofPrey]

Terrans for 3 reasons:

1. Protoss can't build on creep
2. Bunkers and tanks backed up by arbiters and carriers = WIN
3. Carriers + Battlecrusers = WIN

[Wlck742]

I don't get your first reason. No race but the Zerg can build on creep.

[BirdofPrey]

Exactly. If I control terrans I can mix the base having both Terran and Protoss buildings. If I MC Zerg I have to seperate the bases

[Wlck742]

Oh, I see. I thought you were saying that they could build on creep.

[moobox]

I would have to pick a Drone if I were to mind control a builder from another race. I say this because I think that a swarm of Zerglings and some Hydralisks would compliment a few Tempests, Warp Rays and Dark Templars very nicely.

[Wlck742]

We were talking about the original SC, not the sequel, but makes sense. Too bad there's no mind control in SC2.

[hillzagold]

oh, i thought it was units...

terran, they have big units, that are used often, while the zerg swarm. 1 BC/siege tank out of 10 is much better then 1 hydra out of 30

[moobox]

We were talking about the original SC, not the sequel, but makes sense. Too bad there's no mind control in SC2.


Okay, then I think that a swarm of Zerglings and a few Hydralisks would compliment some Carriers, Dragoons and Dark Templars very nicely ;).

[Protosscommander]

Well i would love to control the Terrans when im using the Protoss, because Protoss and Terrans are good Combo, not like Protoss and Zerg , its difficult to build in the Zerg Ground ??? :)

[ijffdrie]

why cant protoss build a floating cristal with a ring around it above purple slimy ground?

[Ace_Bear]

Medics heal Zealots, need I say more?

[DontHate]

i'd mind control terran. mind controlling the zerg are useless, as most of their units are cheap and replaceable. most preferable a sv.

[JDMFanatic]

Terran... I just recall Tanks and Dragoons, whoop-de-doo.

[StarCraft144000]

All the cookies in SCforum.

[ijffdrie]

i'd mind control bush balkenende and osama bin laden to create world peace and space colonization. the starcraft, warcraft, diablo, lost viking players get their own planet

[Wlck742]

In all seriousness, I'd mind control Terrans. Zerg don't really have many units that compliment the Protoss well, unlike the Terrans. Tanks + Reavers = ultimate siege combo. BCs + Carriers = ultimate air combo.

[SOGEKING]

I printed this picture of the Dark Archon. Of course I didn't have enough red in my cartridge anymore :)

I like to mind control battlecruisers. I also liked to mind control the Archon !
