@@MegaOgrady Oh yeah I was joking, Spiff is pretty amazing.

[@ianoxenham4219]

@@MegaOgrady Yep, the reason why "unstoppable OP units" in Starcraft never actually break the overall game balance is because if there is a unit like that in the game, there is always a way to stop them. And they tend to be effective if the other person does not figure it out. That's why scouting is so important--because with good scouting and knowing how to interpret the information, you can launch a pre-emptive strike in the window before the void ray critical mass is ever built.

Pheonix - counters voids. Vikings - counters voids. Dragon cleavage - counters voids, AND everything else.

The next SC video is gonna be “cannon rush has no counter”

[@probablynotabigtoe9407]

This video is cute

[@47Trumpet]

In bronze league no unit has a counter, if you just make enough.

[@goliver9991]

I dont know if that choke with that canon against the first attack was intentional but nevertheless, it was impressive and saved your run :D

[@deathbower]

Forge and a zealot at the ramp with photon cannons behind the forge is a legitimate fast expand strategy. As is mass void rays. Just ask Incontrol circa 2011.

[@goliver9991]

@@deathbower yes, but 6:23 , the zealot spawned perfectly to be in the choke between the canon that was placed in a hurry and a gateway, dont tell me this would have been possible without some luck and a good cup of tea.

[@TheImpolitelad]

I can't possibly hold all these counters... -Vikings -Stalkers -Infestors -High Templars -Marines -Hydras Basically casters that abuse stacking flying units and cheaper units. Voids are expensive and slow to build. Anything cheaper and faster to build can melt them before critical mass. After critical mass caster units can easily obliterate them at any point.

It's always enjoyable when you noob around on starcraft, every starcraft player can't help but try and correct you and show you just how intelligent they are, its a spiffing brit video none of his cheese except for maybe a few work on multiplayer.

[@lich109]

@@thelitmango6333 When he makes claims like there is no counter to them, when marines of all things are a counter to them it raises a pretty big red flag. I do genuinely like the videos where he does break a game, but videos like this seem really lazy and poorly researched, which wasn't the norm for the older videos.

[@JoaoGuilherme-ss6oz]

@@lich109 Mate he means there's no counter the AI can use. StarCraft's AI can't handle this that's the whole point of the series

Mass hydralisks with max upgrades... void rays have a nasty habit of disappearing when those two army compositions clash

[@jedenasty2226]

Mass hydra have a nasty habit of disappearing when protoss army have just a few storm High Templars ;)

[@xXMemelord]

Jedenasty 222 its unfortunate that litteraly any good or decent player would just WALK AWAY until they dont die. archons are better anyways, how much you wanna bet spiff forgets he has them?

[@XD3blaze]

Marines for Terran Fungal growth, parasitic bomb, and queens for zerg Storm, archons, and your own void rays for Protoss Void rays are very counterable. Just like mass carrier or ultralisk rushes (which you only see sub plat) just build their 1 units and walk into their base before they max out Also even the elite AI is pathetic once you learn the game. One liberator, lurkers, proper cheese, any number of things ruins them in

[@CeriTsujimura]

Lurkers legit just break AI logic if they don't detect them xd

[@The_Murder_Party]

Ventricon you forgot vikings unless they where massively nerfed sense I last looked.

[@XD3blaze]

@@The_Murder_Party while Vikings work against voids, they are not a hard counter like everything else I listed

[@The_Murder_Party]

Ventricon that feels so weird, I’m so used to the Viking being the ultimate air superiority weapon, I’m not sure if that’s me playing to many arcade games instead of multiplayer however.

I hate to be that guy but void ray vs marines/hydralisks ? yeah... not gonna cut it

[@DracoMilitis]

problem with the ai is they always build balanced armies, not counter armies like people do

[@HungPham-qq6me]

Tyrin he didnt get the rush build, which is also a blind counter. So he just got lucky with a times push Also that hard ai is more like normal imo, barely challenge anyone from gold and above

[@DracoMilitis]

@@HungPham-qq6me I know, just saying. Hydra Muta is also a viable counter

[@HungPham-qq6me]

Tyrin for terran ghost - EMP +marines and medivac counter or viking hunting parties for zerg infestor - fungal - infested marines + hydralisks or just heavy infestor and viper would do. for toss just go dark templars and counter attack once you scouted.

[@justinthomas7333]

I agree completely. Voids are great when they team up on the same target or structures. but when they have to constantly re-target large armies of smaller units, they get picked apart because they waste too much time trying to re-target enemy units.
