Starcraft 2 All Around Us Ultralisk Demostration

[Chisuz]

a bunch of medivacs would have changed the outcome

[Bretskelton]

in the real game, studder step micro would cause the terran to win with 80% of his units alive

[ATDOINFERNO]

@Bretskelton True. Plus, ppl used to just "A+click" with ranged units are more prone to failure than those who micro, given more or less equal conditions. Understand that "more prone to failure" means "100% failure rate, ignoring connection problems".

One doesn't "splash" ranged dmg like this. Let alone against massive units.

[FishTurd69]

if i was one of those vikings i would have went, "fck this sht!" and just lifted off.

[Srbija141]

@FishTurd69 comment stealer ?

[FishTurd69]

@Srbija141 i wouldnt be surprised if it was already said, but with the 1000's of comments i cbs look through it to see if it was original

[BTape]

rofl I don't think anyone has ever burrowed Ultras before

[Alesandros356]

are those ultralisks like....IMMORTAL???

[AlindBack]

@Alesandros356 Those a SC2 BETAlisks!

[Alesandros356]

@AlindBack are those BETALISKS immortal???

[FenixT93]

@Alesandros356 those are not betalisks, those are PRE-ALPHALISKS

[CerberusT93]

why did they remove the attack animation that they had back in '09? now it looks like ultralisks are constantly hugging everything...

[JpeltakaCyberBeast]

@CerberusT93 they made it look more realistic. no creature like this would attack with 1cleaver at a time

[CerberusT93]

@JpeltakaCyberBeast @JpeltakaCyberBeast i dunno, if you think about it. if you punch with one arm, your body naturally moves with your arm as to further power your punch. whereas if you were punch with both simultaniously (which nobody really does and looks childish) you lose that advantage, and probably run the risk of punching your own hand in the case that you miss, which would probably hurt (Ultra's case, slashing its blades).

well, thats my reasoning on why I prefered the old animation.

[JpeltakaCyberBeast]

@CerberusT93 yeah, but how i see it is the cleavers arent meant to be used like arms. most likely if it were real it would have muscles like in ones jaw that controlled them so they wouldnt be able to move independently. also the ultra wouldnt want to swing them like that because that would be like bashing your teeth off of something as apposed to biting it.

[CerberusT93]

@JpeltakaCyberBeast i see what you mean... I always pictured it as thrashing but your comparison with a set of jaws pretty well convinced me that it isn't so unnatural to slash with both blades simultaneously after all :D.

but yeah neither of us were wrong, we just had different philosophies and ideas in mind :)

[FAR33ZJJ]

AWESOME SINCE IM A ZERG MAN

[killerpenguin360]

well ultras now do splash damage, more convienient

[chaklong]

they didn't concentrate fire :D

[badpanda84]

Broodlord are much cooler --Ultra are crap

[soulripper030792]

if i was one of those vikings i would SOOOOO lift off

[pyrotek45]

eh,im zerg and ultra's suck. ive never once jumped outa my chair and said " I NEED MORE ULTRAS!!"....not once.

[SomePerson846]

Marauder: You think zerg are burrowed here?

Marine: No, theres no creep

*Ultralisks pop out*

Marine: Guess you were right.

[HellsRaven4444]

i rather use banelings, much quicker.

[great0able]

uhhh ultras arent taht strong.. more like a tank unit

[gxycybro]

@great0able they are that strong.

[exxon101]

If they had concentrated fire, they might have killed ONE.

[xGundamz]

So yeah, those ultras had most likely +5 armor and +3 weapons, and the terran guys prolly had +0 +0 and no focus fire whatsoever.

[Pisces3124]

@xGundamz thats because all terran players are noobs

[xGundamz]

@Pisces3124 And you're prolly on the bronze league.

[Pisces3124]

@xGundamz diamond son

[QwertySkill]

@xGundamz

I look forward to going agianst terran, most of them are bad o.o

[ShakeITyEA]

burrowed ultralisks are scary as fuck

[Zeelulzproductions]

I've always wondered what happens if you build something ontop of the Ultra and it unburrows o.o

[MessyPaint]

@Zeelulzproductions You simply can't build in the first place.

<_< Assuming it works the same as SC 1, I haven't gotten to try 2 yet.

[Plasmacid2097]

Too bad in the latest beta patch 1 ultra cant kill 3 zealots...

[Bomenix14]

Dang, the first time I saw this video, I would constantly vis the ground that I would step on and thank god I did.

lllll lllll lll <--The Ultras I killed that were burrowed.

[LordLoss8]

now the ultralisks have INSANE splash damage too bad not 2 many games go as far as ultralisks :(

[LemmingAttack]

Terran shoulda at least pulled back and focused fire

[thefearlessoyster]

ohh lordy.

[EverAfter6]

Who the hell woudnt notice a huge hole in the ground and an ultralisks back sticking out of it?

[PRJKTan12]

@EverAfter6 Burrowed = acts as cloaking, you need a detector to see those fuckers

[EverAfter6]

@PRJKTan12 yeah i know i was just thinking why the hell would those guys not notice a huge hole in the ground with the ultralisks back sticking out of it

[PRJKTan12]

@EverAfter6 hahahaha true

[plutonium135]

To bad ultralisks are horrible in SC2 without defilers

[ISeeTallPeople]

How could you possibly not see the hole with a 30 meter diameter in the ground. Hell, some of them would probably fall in.

[Pirwzwhomper]

These scenes don't reflect the combat viability in the Ultralisk in-game. This demo was really only to show that they still have them in the game, that they can burrow, and a basic strategy to use them for. I dont see all of those Ultras actually surviving that fight unless the Terran player decided not to focus-fire and wasn't using Stimpacks.

[ramprire]

they can burrow in SC2

But they can't move while burrowed, unlike infestors and upgraded roaches

[UraharaTauh]

The thing is, this video is fully upgraded ultras vs non-upgraded terran units. I know this because I'm a strong zerg player in sc2 beta, and ultralisks don't steamroll them without at least one death.

[amazingdany]

Fatal ambush!!!!

[megastagbeetle]

yay finally the ultralisk can burrow and it has 4 scythes for twice the pwnage >:D

[TheBishopsYoutubable]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!

[CodeNashor]

Burrowing Ultras?!?! this is so nice!! cant wair for this great great game. It will be so good as SC1 is still beeing the best game!

[xNapalmFlamex]

HOLY SHIT, THEY CAN BURROW.

[Cubalisk]

Mommy, can I keep one? It evolved so it can do all its stuff in a hole mommy!

[TheLBPMusic]

since when zerg stared to attack from the ground? anyway that's awesome!

[dumgum222]

marine sucks

[NLVWHM]

its ok protoss will still run over zerg like nothing ;P

[CoreMarine]

Well... shit. (I'm a Terran fan).

[sirroger11]

@CoreMarine i think they are all good terran they got my favorite units the siege tanks protoss are great shielded especially good dark templar pylon near enemy base + warp gate combo and zerg they just plain awesome with their zerg rushes and their overwhelming numbers and especially the ultralisks

[jonvalley14]

LAWL they're just like "OH NOES!" ultras just like "O hai" XD

[Takesf]

terran get thor, protoss get mothership, what do zerg get?

[frozensage]

i think u can count the zerg with the new queen, the abilities are pretty awsome

[happowtfpwn]

the queen thing? :o

[Nemesis0300]

baneling. could pwn all, except baneling cant fly :P

[nateev12]

thats why u have scourge :P

[Parody111]

queens

[cholalpa]

OMG WTF they are so different and they can burrow!!! woah, i think now people will use them, not like sc1

[mkwannab]

what are you talking about. Ultralisk is the zerg's ultimate tech unit. Pros use them all the time in the late game.

[cholalpa]

Hmm... i have never seen a pro using one (i like to see a lot of replays). But yeah, they are very good, but accept it, its zergs less used unit...

[Alanviejo]

Ultralisks turns me on :o

[Alanviejo]

WOW :D!!! Awesome

[runescapeking324]

Over Powered .... Can burrow?? WTF?

[Lejix1589]

seriously, WTF?

[bargik]

WTF?

[FoodNetwork2009]

nah Ultralisks only originate with a 20 attack. And as for the burrowing, it was made to be:P unless they spike up the attack for SC2 i think it will remain pretty balanced. Protoss has Archons which are awesome. They deal like 30 damage. i must say, star craft is designed very well for balance between races.

[Nemesis0300]

actually, there are being given another 800 Hp. For SC2, and splash damage (hitting close units at the same time), they can also burrow, and do more damage.

[yoroo]

Looks over powered...weak to hunter seeker missles?

[toontownlegomaster]

Im dead in that game if people make even more of the ultra lisk in starcraft 2 beta testing.

[MadJackal789]

lol owned

[redragon88]

Massacre

[ZeBoXeS]

They should've concentrated fire on one, and move the troops under attack so that they would be busy while they took another one down.

[ringmaster316ms]

thats about the only way you could beat them in sc1. especially if you were fucked enough to be staring up at a tarrasque

[QuantumCarl]

The ultralisks look goofy.

[badgerblitz]

they look sick dude! way better that SC1, looked like weird mammoths in last one. now they have blade arms instead of tusks

[QuantumCarl]

Their heads are waaaay too big! It's almost cartoonish!

[khlvyn1999]

You are the stupid! It's the carapace behind the neck to cover the critical part: DA NECK!!!

[QuantumCarl]

And it's far too big!

IRL those would snap their little necks!

Cartoonish, I say!

[Satanperkele]

Ya cunt. they look awesome!

plus its a fucking game!

Grow a pair!

[QuantumCarl]

My pair is grown! Do not worry about my pair!

They look goofy. That's it.

Also, I'm not being serious. I'm not like "OMG THIS SHATTERS MY WORLD." I was jus' sayin'.

[Satanperkele]

Actually.. I do worry about your pair.. However, not every1 shares the same opinions, and I

(I'm most likley the only person on the internet that respects other peoples thoughts) respect that.

[Meredith1234567890]

@Satanperkele Didn't you call them a cunt for HAVING a different opinion? xD

[Satanperkele]

Yea, but I proved Im not like 99% of the people on tha internets.

[Meredith1234567890]

@Satanperkele I can dig it. I was jokin'.

[100nitrog]

@Satanperkele That big thing isn't its head. It's part of the carapace.

[DarkEpyon123]

damn man, if for some reason, i was able to see one of those things burrow up out the ground in real life i would probably think it would be the most awesome sight ever right before i shit my pants out of sheer fear........

[ringmaster316ms]

i think i'd shit my pants to make myself taste bad, and hope the ultralisk licks its food before he eats it

[CaptainWilliam9000]

YOU CAN'T BURROW ULTRALISKS!!!!

[Duqil]

Well it looks like they can burrow in sc2

[badgerblitz]

did you even watch the video?

[CaptainWilliam9000]

Yes. But in SC1, ultralisks can't burrow.

Why start now?

[Nemesis0300]

evolution

[AstroBoy55555]

@CaptainWilliam9000 Some people enjoy having the sequel to a game have... you know... new features...

[w00terz2]

Yeah, especially since we've been playing the same game for over 10 years.

[MULESLAX]

they didn't retreat!

[Besnada]

haha they got owned
