StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm: Ultralisk Gameplay

[Yarahaha]

How long after Heart of the Swarm comes out before they nerf all these cool features?

[KlineStife]

"You're welcome, Destiny"

cracked up.

[munchie400]

@KlineStife Funny he said Nestea rather than Destiny, but whatever!

[YZB25]

wow! More wood-league zerg players whining and whining and whining! They never stop whining: "Hydras are too slow!" "Ultralisks are to big!" they always find a reason to keep whining and whining! I swear to god if zerg is so crap just play as terran or protoss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeez!!!

[BaxterXenon]

Talking about how fat a Ultralisk, and how it is a disadvantage is a little bit silly.

[super4chicken]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[PublicEnemy04]

About DAMN time the zerg were OP, terrans have been at it for too long...

[emilysmellylikeshit]

I like the idea, but reduce their dmg.

[AussieMuffin]

I think that is dumb.First the burrow then this.Believability of starcraft is going away and makes me sad ='(

Starcraft 2 units don't draw me in as much as the starcraft 1 units.

[Wookieman008]

Sweetness, can't wait to see how Korean players use this to their advantage :D

[AirbusBabyy]

Cool, Now zerg tier 3 has a chance against terran tier 1!

[TheAngrySoviet1]

@AirbusBabyy zerg used to be able to kill terran tier1. then they took out the lurker >.>

[ReachManA239]

holy shit.

[Fowsed]

GOOOd a great change !!!! Very good! Not shure about replicator thow... and about that Unit that took carriers place.

[aelvonus]

@Fowsed though, not thow.

[bibity74]

Ultra should have an ability like the one in hero attack that allows it to speed up and push units out of the way damaging and stunning enemys in its path at least something like that because i still find it weird that ultras can burrow but now they can tunnel too dons look quite right

[789123456789]

Fuck it i'm switching to zerg when HOTS comes out.

[TheAngrySoviet1]

@789123456789 welcome to the swarm

[whycanticomein]

How can they move so fast while burrow ?

[ragdoll433]

why no mass void counters!

[kjin0815]

in starcraft 1, protoss > zerg

in starcraft 2 HoS zerg > protoss

[flamingcarboard]

so are they fixing the ultra's AI or something? making them smaller? or what?

[Conker32192]

@flamingcarboard nope..just a ability to make it better

[TheTemoa]

I think they mean the ultra is too big and can't get into the battle efficiently. Burrow charge allows them to get behinds enemy forces or get into position with more of your units. It allows them to actually get into the battle rather than looking for another way into the battlefield.

[Montauk1111]

Please remove 30 second ADs on 1min videos for crap games ill never buy. I play Star-craft, i'm not interested in PS2. Massive fail. GG marketers, learn to scout better.

[kampfer91]

Can you hear it ? The cry of joy from the Zerg 's fan as they finally able to get rid the siege line

Poor my terran though :(

Btw , it took more than 10 years for an Ultra to find out how to burrow charge , what an evolution....

[kampfer91]

Why burrow charge ? Should they just charge into the enemy and knock any marine out of their way ?

Oh wait, this is not Dawn of war

[azntakeaway]

I felt a great disturbance in battle.net, as if millions of terran players suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

[Philosjutsu]

Ultralisk blink... =P

[2ber90]

yeah finally something againts those pussy terrans

[9TayTay9]

This is great. But it's a bit too much like the Protoss "Blink" ability.

[LabyrinthOfDream]

i guarantee you that the terran loving blizzard will remove this ability 3 months after release

[bitjezeverpeisek]

wondering how they can dig so fast :p

[NOFOCKYOU]

wonder if it will let u burrow up cliffs if u got vision.

[joestyboy]

I saw all video's of the new units.

I WAS IMPRESSED THAT I DIDN'T GO TO BLIZZARD TO LET THEM GIVE ME THE EXPENSION FOR ALL COSTS!!!

[Brandenn100]

Out of all of these videos I've heard YA! From each race OTHER than protoss...we only got one new attacking unit..soo :/

[nateisback27]

awww the ultralisks can get more hugsss nowww....he just wants de hugz

[Spakiness]

Zerg is becoming quite a mighty power as of late

[nickm34456]

@Spakiness well it is called "heart of the swarm"...

[Spakiness]

@nickm34456: well even before heart of the swarm

[nickm34456]

@Spakiness not at all have you checked any stats? up to october, zerg has had the lowest winrate in all the matchups, all they have is banelings, infestors, and maybe broodlords in the late game, everything else is basically useless except some, in the mid to late game. if you can hold off their first few pushes, macro decently, then youve basically won if you push out pretty fast. banelings can be microd against. infestors are imba, and broodlords can be countered by vikings, its gg for zerg

[username951100]

now in reality Ultras charge in marine stim run back kite easily and kill them all

[r3z3nd3]

hmmm, but what about kiting?

[PETAVER]

sick

[OmnipotentO]

I threw my wallet at the screen

[iloveplayingpr]

@OmnipotentO

LOL XD

[ceifadorx]

fear the ultralisk now terran

[sdingle100]

my brother cried after seeing this

[lemonbone]

terran can still kite them ...

[TheScratchHatch]

@lemonbone yeah but the main problem is solves is them being able to tank faster. They burrow charge, tank marine and siege tank fire and your banelings are free to roll in.

[Number1soxfan12]

op much??

[MonoCabron123]

not sure if this is gonna be too op. And I play Zerg.

[ricehasnolife]

@MonoCabron123

Check the 3 new terran units?

[commentguy304]

they should make this come with the hive my 1v1s usually end befor i even get a use out of ultras

[sille1337]

The idea is ok, just looks really ridiculous animation vise, and also the speed is to fast. Just give them a normal rush like zeals have...

[Cronkonium]

I hope I am not the only one to down this video because I hate this unit.

[MrLajo1]

@Cronkonium fail...u are ;P

[GodSince1994]

@Cronkonium I feel your pain.

[keretapir]

oh u terrans..it's still a land unit with no ability to shoot up..so why the fuss? ever heard of "loading up to medivac"?

this skill actually needed to balance out ZvP,where toss would usually turtle/wall behind lots of cannons...

[Covaxius]

@keretapir

Lolololol. Yeah cause that is always the problem zergs face, the turtle protoss hiding behind cannons in the late game.

[madbenbro]

For the Swarm!

[ntkn]

so many terran tears. i can see it now.

[endplanets]

Burrow charge is such bullshit. Story/ science wise, how does something that big just lunge 500 feet while underground? Gameplay wise it completely breaks Terran siege lines, meaning that Terran basically is helpless before them.

As for size problems, why not just make the occupation box (where a character resides) smaller, so that smaller units can "clip" or phase through them. This slightly goofy animation problem is much better than units getting stuck.

[T0ravis]

@endplanets

Lol do you play sc2? the most debated imbalance in the game is terran seige lines...

[PREDAL1ENWARRIOR]

@endplanets Shut the fuck up you whiney terran bitch.

[apk878]

@endplanets It should break terran siege lines, I mean its only a tier 3 unit that costs 3 times as much as a tank... finally they are fixing zerg.

[Stratmastuh]

@apk878 by the same logic thors should be at least decent against mutas

[MsHojat]

This burrow charge looks bad, and does not seem like a way to fix ultralisks.

[blackman6270]

@MsHojat Burrow charge is AWESOME! You intstantly get surrounds a dont have troubles with them getting annoyed by zealot anymore.. 1 Ultra beats 5 stalker easy, but replace 1 of those stalkers with 1 zealot and only the zealot dies along with the Ultra. Now you can easily bypass zealots!

[MsHojat]

@blackman6270 oh good point about the zealot — I wasn't thinking about that. Indeed zealots are a big problem for ultralisks.

Since posting my comment, I also learned that burrow charge stuns surrounding targets upon unburrow (don't know for how long, probably pretty short), so that makes it pretty good too.

[MsHojat]

@blackman6270 actually just reading sille1337's comment gave me an idea. It would make more sense if the burrow charge was actually a normal zealot charge, except they push right through any units in their way during the charge so that none get in their way. Functionality-wise, it's probably less effective than the burrow by a bit, but at least it makes more sense. Doesn't really matter much either way I guess. I don't think the burrow one can go past buildings or cliffs.

[devastator06]

@MsHojat tell you what would make me shit my pants if i saw it in real life.

make the ultras LEAP into battle, sort of like the "raptors" from the lings in the single player campaign.

or if you play WoW, a heroic leap.

[jordzkie05]

ultralisk has gone sand king(dota)

[theishjort]

@jordzkie05 Wtf is dota? This is starcraft!

[MorangEnoar]

wait for the charge....... wait for it wait.............there it is STIM MIRCO WIN ! provided the ultra works on the same zealot charge cool down

[gamemaster1324]

bliz dont know shit period

[Natalthpie]

Guys, you all have no idea what you're talking about. The bliz team knows best for now.

[Ezi0AuditoreDiFirenz]

dont worry my fellow terran players

we still have shredder. marauders and battle helions to counter those irritating utlras and zerglings

[Raptor747]

It's much needed for the Ultralisk. But combine this with all of the other new changes for zerg...and zerg is just hilariously OP.

[apk878]

@Raptor747 Just like terran is hilarious OP now. Oh I'm going to love tasting the tears of the Terran players when HOTS comes out. They will sing the same tune I'm singing about Terran now.

[Machizel]

@apk878 except that they arent op and you're a retard

[LastKyless123]

lol that is so cheap( from a terran)

[antasaur]

finally its not going to dance behind zerglings! it will actually be effective!

[Conker32192]

i fucking love it

[MDSVes]

Burrow charge is sick
