its not a fair comparison, every unit got their advantages and weakness, u cant say its useless cause there are many scenarios that they are weak. I am saying they got their usage, you can use them in some scenario, which in this case, they are good at attacking base, where their splash damage area depends on what they are attacking, the larger the unit they attack, the bigger splash damage area they can do.

And about marauders, they need to stay away from building to make them safe, ultralisk can simply attack a building that is between the marauders and the ultralisk to hurt them, kite might no longer work, ultralisk can just run behind a building and attack the building, if marauder chase the ultralisk, the ultralisk just need to attack the building and it will deal damage to all marauders that getting in the range of 2 of the building. im not sure if it still works if the ultralisk doing friendly attack on its own building, if it works, then the tactic can be widely used. Must be fun to see zealots getting killed by an ultralisk who attacking its own lair.

marauders will kill the ultralisk faster than the ultra can kill with splash.
plus you have medivacs

That range is just too much to handle...

they both do extra damage on armored unit, marauders was the winner due to they have the range advantage, and they can kite ultralisk easily, if the fight happens in a base, the result is yet to be determined, the ultralisk might have some advantage in extending their range, not sure if the ultralisk now able to kite marauders in terran's base or not.

Marauders+Viking no weakness le... Please tell me if got any LOL...

zerglings

Good 1 LOL... Should be MMM better right LOL...

viking is good at small number, when in big number, they arent really that good, due to they normally will shoot at the same target, as for marauders, they are good to slow units down, and good attacking armored/building, really bad if enemy goes mass zerglings.

But what happen if the fight at a choke? Zerglings cannot surround=GG... When Terran push up ram got problem...

I dun get what you mean by bad in big numbers... Not focus fire betteR?

focus fire enough to kill 1 unit is better, but if they over fire, which the fire power enough to kill 3 units, they just attacking the same unit, will consider wasting, try mass viking vs mass mutas. U are a gold ranked player, i think u should know that which place is consider good for zerglings to init the attack.

That is the point... Too many choke infront of base hard to defend with a group of zerglings...

I little micro can help with viking maybe selecting only 6 to focus fire and the rest spread the damage... With their range they can counter almost every air unit...

phoenix > vikings
mutas > vikings

both if equal number

Gonna test... But too much work to do... Haih... Anyway what is wrong with people in this forum so sensitive bout ladder rankings? I feel dun use ladder ranking to judge a player... I more of a bronze player then gold... I just got lucky thats all...

i m not judging you good or bad, im assuming you done enough game to have enough experience, even u didnt use the strategy, u should have seen them.

Nah.. I not so dedicated to this game... I stop watching replays already...

narf add me... Let have a game or 2 LOL... You seem cool... I rarely have chance to ZvZ also... Mostly meet terrans at ladder and frustrated that my ultralisk getting murdered by tier 1 units already LOL...

ya its well known...
phoenix need focus fire micro a lot though (tastosis further confirms this)...
mutas i am not so sure but i heard day9 saying it before...

ok will do tonite, im in office atm, even my company pc got it installed =P but i usually dont play at company, just watch replays, incase anything happen, i can just walk off.

All in all... Zerg still underpower race... For the Swarm!!!

you're trying to say an ultralisk is useful by abusing a most likely unintended (blue post did hinted this) game mechanic? lol
