Quote from Yoshi da Sniper
I've been reading up on SC2 some more. I think my biggest problem right now is that they're making this into a "rock paper scissors" game it almost appears.
They heavily emphasize the fact that everything is vulnerable to something, which is not really the SC we all know and love. I mean, its more of a matter of how you use the units not what kind they are. I don't see that much happening in SC2.
It's too early to say still. I just hope they don't make it into a game of rock paper scissors with zerglings and spaceships.
Um......
Dragoons are weak against Hydralisks.
An army of 12 Hydralisks will kill an army of 12 Dragoons because the Hydralisks attack quicker than the Dragoons.
If it were a 1v1, then the Dragoon would win because it has shields, and a better attack.
How long has it been since you've played a melee game Yoshi? This comment

is pretty rediculous in my opinion because every unit in Starcraft, has a unit that can counter it (i'm pretty sure people have already given examples)
Marines can kill Zerglings, as long as there is a 2:1 ratio (or maybe even 3:1). But if there are more Zerglings than Marines, the Zerglings (depending if both the marines and zerglings are fully upgraded) will most likely win.
Tanks are weak against all Air-to-ground (of course), and they counter most light ground units.
Goliaths are strong against air, but kind of weak against more heavy ground units.
Three zealots (with a skilled player) can wipe out six or seven marines with no problem at all.
So honestly, how do you come to that conclusion Yoshi? Out of all the years I've played Starcraft, I've never heard this (notice the bold):
They heavily emphasize the fact that everything is vulnerable to something, which is not really the SC we all know and love.
Ever since it came out everything has had a counter against it, and is strong against something... Care to point out some references to your claim? Or is it personal opinion?
None.
