    but also Terran > Zerg and Zerg > Protoss
    so Terran > Protoss

    omg everything is a contradiction

    ^ you got it backwards...

    Protoss > zerg (no contesting that, a lot can kill 2 or 3 hydras if upgraded)
    zerg > terrans
    terrans > protoss

    its like rock paper scissors

    supposed to be like this:
    protoss
    /\
    / \
    / _ \
    zerg terran

    I arrange it based which is more advanced species

    Protoss beats terran because they are more advance and their psionic ability because they have been for a long time and they are far advance than humans.

    Terran beats zerg because humans are more intellectual than them they cannot reason and does not have an insect like system similar to that ant and bees. (thats pretty much zerg is)

    Zerg can beat toss because even though protoss is soo high and mighty zerg can compensate it for their number and their will to serve whoever is in charge of them I.E overmind,infested kerrigan, etc

    P.S. this is not about the which is a better race this is just a diagram showing how it usually goes in a balance game its still depends on the player

    Meh... I don't know... To me, protoss are still made up to beat on the zerg, if you think about it... and the terran siege tank is perfect against protoss turtlers...

    reavers and cannons own lings/hydras, same with lots...
    Battlecruisers are a bit better than carriers, especially with other air units...
    Carriers own zergs, although the guardians pose a threat to turtlers...

    In the end, the beginning is way arranged, but in the end, I guess a skilled player can do anything.
    Of course, that's not taking in the fact that a real player can rush and win with basically any race.

    i went with the multiplelasers as this makes the battlecruiser look like something from a sci-fi movie, any way a one shot battlecruiser wouldnt be very logical.

    Yay! Cookies! I know this one...
    The Yamato was the biggest, heaviest and most powerful battleship in the Japanese navy during World War 2. It got sunk by the end of the war by US aircraft and was considered to be a symbol of Japan and it's defeat...

    Which is why it was "retrofittet" as Spacecruiser in the classic Anime "Space Battleship Yamato" aka "Starblazers". The signature technology was the "wave motion gun" wich the Starcraft Yamato gun is a obvious reference to.

    Ximnipot69 was right just not complete.

    I knew I forgot something... I have heard about that anime but I've never seen it. I'm much better at history than anime.

    I haven't seen that. None of the races are sure to beat another they are pretty balanced. It is more based on what the player does at the begining if he will win or not

    it was the biggest battleship in not just the japaneses navy, but in the whole world, however battleships became obsolete towards the end of ww2 as aircraft carriers have much longer range and battleships become sitting ducks.

    Well... I voted multiple lasers, (even though I'm protoss :p) because... Yes, I'm a huge WoW fan, and in general I think that splash damage is better than one shot damage... Think of it, you take one multiple cannon that deals like 10-20 dmg on target but that requires 100 energy... then you use it with 1 battleship and it does a significant bit of damage... make it like 10 targets max and then you have basically the same damage yamato gun did.

    i think you are thinking of plasma torpedoes. thats the splash attack.

    multiple lasers is just the default attack, just instead of 1 big laser its several fast, small lasers.
