It feels like the general balance is close enough to get in line over time but the SC1 races seem to be missing important tools vs specific units. Trying to beat Ultras without Immortals looks vile.
@@abunja Yea thats probably worse than bringing blink stalkers. Storm will only hit 1 or 2 ultras due to the size and won't be cost effective with some micro.
I saw on another cast in which carriers can do old carrier micro in this mod. (Targeting an extractor to get the interceptors out). I just cant remember which cast.
Would be nice to see a single game on a map that isn't extremely sc2 favoured. How in the world are the sc1 races suppose to expand on these maps when the sc2 races have 5x the mobility, and sc2 zerg have basically 50x the mobility and can expand everywhere no problem.
I agree that the BW races need to lean into splash damage. I think if the devs want to make the BW races stronger, they could lean into that even more.
Brood War storm is 14 damage times 8 ticks = 112, sc2 storm is 10 * 8 ticks = 80. So BW storm does 14/10 or 40% more damage in the same amount of time.
the sc1 and sc2 factions are ballanced quite well against each other. Some pros and some cons, there isn't an overwhelming meta. Everything has a counter, ofc, needing a good player, not spamming vultures and thinking the mines will obliterate everything. It has worked in the early stages, but strats are adapted to counter the vultures' mines spam
People disagreeing are probably the kind of people who play like they are playing BW in this mod, rather than adapting to the SC2 economy. MC did it too; just sticks to 3 bases until game end. That doesn't work.
sc2 ultras absolutely destroys bw units it seems. frenzied makes such a huge difference cuz bw spellcasters dont really do much against ultras. no ghost or libs and no immortals or voids. it feels like reavers hard carry bw toss and then ht and dark archons are both super imba but if zerg doesn't die then ultras and vipers are amazing.
Just goes to show that having reavers in SC2 wouldn't have broken the game. If you can't win with SC1 reavers and storms, how can you win with SC2 disruptors and storms?
Are you saying because SC1 protoss isn't broken that giving the reaver to SC2 protoss also wouldn't be broken? That is kinda retarded if you think about it since the two races are so fundamentally different.
The reavers in this game were absolutely busted. It's just that MC didn't actually play like it was SC2. I mean only 3 bases throughout the entire game. 16 min game. Just lol.
So good to see MC again! The "Gimme the Trophy" Grab will always be in the Top 3 Moments of SC2 History!
wrrr
Mr. Artosis; the scarab damage upgrade is in fact called Scarab Damage in BroodWar.
Dat moment, when zerg turns drone into a spore to save it from reaver. And reaver just kills spore instead.
Dude I literally had a dream about mc playing StarCraft again and HERE WE ARE

This is super interesting content!!! Hope you release more stuff like this

Mass reaver + shuttle seem promising. 8 reavers obliterates everything Zerg has.
Storms + mass Dragoons if Zerg fully commits on it

Reavers and archons should counter ultras.
The reaver can still hit even with 0 scarab in. Bug still not patched. I would like to see more dark archont mind control.

Did they change the scarab hit animation? It seems less flashy on impact
It is called Scarab Damage. 9:00
Btw the scarabs are building automatically

fuck yeah disruptor is the badly designed reaver thank you for finally saying that
I need a recording of the MC stream at lotv release , where he played ladder until top 3 gm or something and then danced when he got there
Super fun
I feel like the reavers’ scarabs hit more frequently than disruptors.
Nice video !

Hard disagree.
uh no. Even sc1 vs sc1 races are not close to being balanced due to 12 workers economy

SC1 music wins, that's for sure
YESSSS
Isn't ultralisk in sc 1 also do splash damage ?
Nope, single target
Couldnt toss just mind control ultras?
frenzy
Go read up its Frenzied skill.
yeah no unfortunately. The next best thing is maelstrom with storm.
@@Anon_Fox You should also read up its Frenzied skill.
@@torappuda dang your right I thought it was just mind control.. jeez that’s tough then in the evo mod for sc1 p vs sc2 z
what's w the depots?
battery reaver rush??
How to play this mod?
Evo complete
Well SC1 has few units than SC2, so options are limited 😁.
where to find someone who want to play this mod ?

You just didn't saw crazy reaver gameplay. Watch snow(BW P) vs action(SC2 Z). That shows how good reaver can be.
