As most people say for anygame any strategy has a counter so here are one's for starcraft.  We keep counter the strategies posted before and well see what we end up with



Okay for example,

strike with mutalisks to the workers and while they are distracted, attack the front with zerglings and hydras.

For protoss, you should have scouts or corsairs that will take care of the mutalisk while protecting your workers, if not, keep the army in the middle and move your workers leading both sides into the army, which also gives you a defensive bonus (first strike).  For terrans cloak wraiths while have a bc so the muta will waste time taking forever killing the bc while the wraiths pick them off, you other defensives will take care of the front assualt.  For zerg, you make scourges which are quick, if not then do the same as protoss strat. #2





Here's the strategy:Seng a few gaurdians to destroy the front defense and most units.  when they are gone, send hydras with lings.  The hydras will destroy the buildings while units that come out will be attacked by lings leaving the Hydras free.

Counter it   be creative and smart but logical

... it's called a command center, that is like the most obvious building to guess.....

Any way, every uses carriers as diversions, i use diversions to counter diversions.  Once i had D.ts in the back of a buys base , but i allied him(not vision) so he wont find out and kill them.  Them I built up a lot of defense  and when i saw him attack with all his units, I unallied him and there went his workers/ base

I think the best strategy ive seen has been playing against a zerg and your a zerg too, you focus on getting minerals and a spawning pool, then before the game gets rolling you begin to build a bunch of sunken colonies on their creep. its funny as hell when it actually works.

If im toss i often avoid shuttles, i think that if your going to drop their base as toss, arbitors is the best way to go.

i also enjoy breaking an enemy defense with nukes by not targeting the thing you want to destroy but to target the clump of land right before the unit that way they wont be able to hit you if they are able to detect cloaked units.

offense is always the best defense

Jak, post that on the one on multi player challenge, I love the storm on the workers... so evil.

I heard the statement for every strategy there is a counter, I wanted to see how many we can get

wonder if we can stump people...

easy, if you had that much time, lurkers in the mid by now.... preventing your drop, lurkers at base will cut throught the hydras, the ultras can get  easly ripped in due time with lings, just surround it and go eat a pizza.  For the mutas, hydras should work, maybe a dark swarm....

Also, if you are toss, goons will own the mutas.  Reavers will kill your frontline assualt. 


Don't counter this but you know what is fun?  Hitting the base at the front with carriers, this distracts as corsiars disrupt the def in the base and the arbiter comes.  When they bring the army to kill the carriers, the arbiter recalls the carriers to the bakc :P  I did that once and I kept using arbs to recall the postions... He thought he got smart and split his army, then i just didn't switch and cut trhough with ease....

Zerg units are usually decimated fairly quickly, protoss is my favorite race because of their toughness, and if need be, rush early with zealots and win the game. If you want to be fair, use corsairs to stop any air or ground defenses (air turrets, bunkers, spore colonies, sunken colonies, photon cannons etc.) and attack with a heavy force of dark templar, always does the job. It also helps to back them up with scouts for any remaining air units, and possibly some back up zealots for polishing up the area.

By the time you rush with zealots, a decent zerg player would have at least a sunken and a couple of zerglings.  Most protoss players scout with a probe and a zealot.  If they find a zerg, it is most likely the zerg doesnt have defense yet and then they just keep sending zealots.  But, if you make your spawning pool first, you should be able to make 6 zerglings already, more than enought to kill 2 zealots, the drones cna help they are surprisingly effective with 5 range...

ok jak, you see you havent played good games, with good players...it isnt the way it is now when people wait like a million years to attack each other with huge armies back in the old days when me and hunt used to play you would also attack at the beginning and if carefully planned, you would wipe out some and weaken others so that they had to rebuild and since you probably have little minerals at the beginning, this can severly affect you chances of fighting back
hunter please back me up on that because you know its true

hmmm intersting anyway I wanst suggesating you werent a good player, it just seemed as if you didnt play in very good games, but if you did, well have fun. I just like to avoid stupid stalemates when everyone has an impenetrable defense.
Edit: Sorry about the whole thing Jak, i just guess I like my style of play better than others. I got a little carried away. Sorry. Personally I suck at games when people rush, but I also hate long games unless their good ones when the enemires are good enough to hold out for a long time and advance when under attack.-----------------------

which i might have said before.............................distractions can really disrput enemies' progress and their ability to fight back. Just launching a few sucessful attack every now and then keeps you in control of the game and slows them down.

Jak, I also point out that you haven't played Starcraft for a while so of course you haven't lost for a while.  And distractions are very useful, in most games.
