StarCraft 2 FIGHT CLUB Ep. 2

[@StuGames]

Make sure to select 4K quality if your connection can support it, some of the fights will look BAD on 1080p or lower! :)

[@Ori_Ovadia]

You're right, why is this the case tho? Do you use an nvidia or amd gpu to capture the fights?

[@StuGames]

@@Ori_Ovadia these fights need a high bitrate because there are so many units all moving independently. If there's a lot of chaotic movement in a video you can't compress them as well without making it look worse. KZbin uses much more agressive compression if you select a lower resolution! I'm recording these with a capture card and a GTX1070.

[@omeirat94]

​ @Stu Welcome back! :)

[@KKKuma]

I have the idea for these fightclub is that is to fight on 2 battle one is equal resources and one on equal supply. It should be nice to see how certain units performs when stacked

[@freskyii4811]

you should add the supply costs for each army

[@dadpounder4209]

Some things I’ve noticed about these videos. 1.) your computer must be running on some sort of nuclear generator to be able to support those graphics with that kind of scale. 2.) you obviously put a lot of effort into researching units to find their strengths and weaknesses to find out which ones would be best to pit against each other. 3.) you obviously spend a lot of time experimenting to find the “magic number” of each unit that will make the fight *just* hard enough to predict, but also still interesting. 4.) your videos are amazing.

[@coryp2564]

These are so much fun to watch as a SC2 fan and I really appreciate all of the work that you put into answering questions that we might have asked for a moment, but then you ramp up the numbers just to make sure that we get an answer. While understanding that there are so many complexities and conditions that these fights could be set in. I'm always satisfied with the conditions that you bring us. Amazing work!!!!!

[@machoflops]

This is a very underrated channel, wow. The quality of the graphics, the intensity of the fights, the way that you can never tell clearly who's going to win because of the units strengths and weaknesses and the terrain, this is high IQ content

[@doandaihiep8515]

an ancient civilization as old as the universe itself with science-defying technology lost to a tier-2 human army that still shoots bullets. A tier-2 human army capable of planetary destruction lost a primitive biological force that shoot broodlings and fungals. What a balance ...

[@Malrottian]

A rock will kill you just as dead as a nuke. Something to be said for simplicity.

[@kaivandli2455]

Ill bet you that Protoss army would have flattened the Zerg army^^ so theres balance.

[@ZC.Andrew]

Well, when your primitive enemy outnumbers your bullets, and doesn't care about their losses, you're gonna have a bad time - advanced technology or not.

[@free2chasehappy]

Can't be said any better. A more expensive army yet it lost. An army solely of marines or queens would've won against Protoss with micro.

[@kosmonarrat]

The climaxes in these fights had me laughing.

[@pawea1347]

Poor Phoenixes 😥. I really thought they'll win against hydralisks.

[@CrazynToughKiwi]

Yeah, I guessed that fight would be determined by Phoenix energy as they have only enough for 4 lifts each, and a lot of Phoenix deaths wouldn’t use all of their energy or even one full lift duration.

[@memesandgames9661]

If the Phoenix could NOT focus on ONE hydra then yes

[@ZC.Andrew]

Phoenixes get less and less efficient as the numbers grow, as lifting Phoenixes get gunned down before their victims die. Honestly i'm surprised by how many Hydras they killed.

[@geuros]

Honestly with a micro they would win

[@AlexanderVRadev]

They do win. The AI was just coded to make way too many lifts at the same time so a lot of DPS was lost and a lot of energy was also lost. This has been the theme of the episode. Making the group that wins somehow lose on a technicality. Just like the liberator one when one group of libs casually just sieges further back and not walk into the storms. Or the stalkers being manually controlled at the end so they make the most ridiculous blinks while DSs getting 1 blink and it is at the start hammering them in a clump so a bunch of them cant' attack. Or the last fight where the protoss casually didi as much damage on its own forces with storms and balls, while phoenixes used their lift addiction once more to lower dps and put tanking ground units in front of the Terran air to ensure the protoss lost the air war and the whole battle.

[@estellebright2579]

Fight 1: chargelots are good but attacking planetary isn’t a good idea for melee units. Fight 2: this is the perfect fight to demonstrate the power of liberators against High Templar. I doubt any cast two storms after the first few. Fight 3: properly micro-ed stalkers are good. Not good if no good micro. Grandmaster’s toy. And they aren’t even that good against barely micro-ed DTs. Fight 4: Hydralisks are good, very good, even after a few nerfs. Fight 5: Ravager better than roaches against tanks, but still not good enough against tanks in a choke point. Fight 6: the best counter to mass Thor is mass Thor. Amazing work. Keep going.

[@johnnguyen6224]

Fight 6: If those tempest stutter step, they def will destroy thor. Also mother ship went on suicide mission.

[@ericturner9458]

[@ZC.Andrew]

That stalker vs Blink DT was super cool, and very close. All these fights were fun to watch. Nice job!

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

After terrans lost the last battle due to lack of anti air, its nice to see them win thanks to keeping there tanky anti air in the back (and the powerful seige tanks reasonably far forward, to get maximum splash value)

[@fox9001]

Indeed. And the firebats were in the middle of the army, not the front line, like this time. I was hoping toss would win, but with good positioning, terrans ownz.

Oooh that Hydra vs Phoenix battle was intense. Early signs looked as though the Phoenix would obliterate, yet the Hydra came through. Bravo!

I was very suprised at the zealot versus planetary fortress fight. But, it helps to remember that melee units don't loose DPS that rapidly, as only your frontline does damage with all the backline being available to fill it.

plus the fortresses are basically damaging themselves due to aoe

Indescribable splendor of action. I never rooted for anyone as much as the Terran army and the Thors in the end. They won with overwhelming superiority, and the protoss army was worth much more.

Technically the protoss army should win. According to the strategy guide every protoss carrier is armed with a purifier as well as interceptors. Purifiers are strong enough to destroy planets. Don't know why they nerfed them in the game.

[@OmegaPaladin144]

Still think it would be fun to see a Dark Reign fight club. The game has a lot varied weapon types and specialized units, and it has pretty long ranges compared to something like Starcraft. It's like sci-fi meets Red Alert. For example, you could have shredders (anti-infantry vehicle) going up against the mercenaries (anti-vehicle infantry), or have a massive army rush a chokepoint with lots of artillery. The game had clever enough AI that you could have units head to repair bays when damaged, then get back in the fight or run seek and destroy missions.
