    I dont really care or mind if kerrigan has psi storm. It's pretty neat. The only thing i want them to change is to have psionic storm be like a bolt from the sky strike down on the ground several times, the SC1 psi storm looks like... well it's awkward.

    You are not entirely wrong out there, whilst she did gain huge power (in addition to her already formidable abilities) with her transformation, the Ghost Conditioning that restrained her powers while Terran was still active. That's why she assaults the Amerigo, learning how to remove the Conditioning and unlocking her absolute power (the Psionic Storm, somehow...)

    Yeah, she gained the Psi Storm after her trip to the Amerigo and removed her Ghost Conditioning. Why it's only the Psi Storm I can't guess... from someone like Kerrigan, I would've expected something much more sinister/powerful, like a mind control or an instant kill of some sort.

    the zergs were created by the xelnaga after all same goes for the protoss so probably the zerg has some psionic abilitties hidden in them......ooooooooo o_O

    Haven't you played the starcraft campaigns? in starcraft original, shortly after you gain control of kerrigan, there's this mission where you have like some lings (mostly used to consume with kerrigan) and 2 hunter killer, you are in a terran lab or something and you gotta get to the computer to learn how to cast storm.. somehow...

    I don't know much about the campaign so I'm not sure exactly why the terrans have psystorm in their comp.. but I thought everyone knew about this mission.

    It's not that they had instructions on how to cast a psi storm, they had information about how to remove Kerrigan's Ghost Conditioning, and it was Kerrigan's own psionic powers that allowed her to psi storm.

    The name of the mission where Kerrigan infiltrated a Terran science vessel. It's also the reason that she obtained her psionic storm ability :)

    Because all Psionic Storm is is manifesting your psionic power into the form of a storm, it isn't just a Protoss thing, its a thing ANY powerful psychic should be able to do, but all ghosts have a chip or something like that in their brains that limits their potential.
