I have always played protoss, and the new ultralisk does worry me a bit. If archons aren't a good counter for them anymore then I think it would probably take a combined effort from immortals and dark templar to take them down quickly on the ground. If you have air then obviously void rays + phoenix are probably your best bet.

Archons do seem a bit weak in the current build in comparison to what they were in the original, but overall I think protoss ground still kicks but.

It's one of the most expensive units in Starcraft 2.

i've heard that high templar's psi storm can melt ultralisks pretty quickly.

I was just wondering actually (I know its probably been asked alot or something), did the colossus seem like more of an assult unit, you know show up somewhere mess shit up and then die, or is it still a fail unit that attempts to mess shit up but instead just dies.

I guess thors would work, fight fire with fire.

But I'd also imagine that banshees >>>>> ultralisks

I actually like the Void Ray/ Phoenix combo better for Ultras :p

Because I like to fight fire with water.

I was pretty dissappointed to hear HSM deals splash to friendlies...i mean given its speed i was thinking to fly my nighthawk very-close/on-top of the mark and fire but now this is plain suicide...
Gears did u use HSM...what is the chances they hit versus the chances the target micros away successfully?

I wonder how the AI will react to HSM's. Will they make an effort to get away, or will they just take it?

It is a mysteryyyy.

thanks for the q and a but 4 and 5 seems a bit of a waste really
If you are keeping pressure on your enemy, how can they mass motherships
