Which unit had the best death sound/animation?

dark templars?

do people see them (become visible) when they die?

 

just like a chicken without it's head

 

okay, my answer for this one is the....


PROTOSS DRAGOON!!!

te nee neeet!!! *weird sounds

 

HYDRALISK

 

Observers...such a big explosion for something so small.
awesome sound to

 

Let me introduce the map maker's point of view.

the death animations and sounds of starcraft units are a very important part of the quality of a good ums map since it can be used as special effects..

my personally favorites are the hallucinated unit, the creep colony (chosen for its size, it's easier to place than most zerg building), archon, dark archon, tank, valkyrie, kakaru (valk (or wraith) and kakaru can be stacked together for a sweet orange/blue effect), dragoon (for a the blue stuff that remains there for ages.)

There are many other useful deaths.. it depends of what you are trying to do...

oh yeah I forgot the observer, very cool one indeed.

 

i always thought it was hilarious how the dark archon just went "poof" and how drones always looked and sounded like bugs that were squashed. I hope the immortals and/or the stalkers bleed like the dragoon, its death was always refreshing.

 

when you click on a critter about 50 times they explode imo thats the best one

 

I'd have to say marine. lol i remeber when i took the SCMdraft editor and created a line of like 500 marines and killed them all. I just can't get off the reason they explode. They never explode in the cutscenes or anything.. and in broodwar im sure when alexi stokov died. he didnt blow up. Maybe the marines armor has a chemical reaction? Cause in SC2, marine dont explode unless they get hit with a seige tank or something.

 

Unlike some of you, I actually prefer the Protoss blue flame death animations to the various bloody deaths. My favourite is the dragoon, which really stands apart from the rest. The High Templar's death is also very cool, especially the sound, and rather satisfying if they happen to be your enemies. ^_^

 

I liked medics death sound,instant classic...

 

High Templar. When he dies, he leaves behind a hallucination of himself, and then fades into oblivion. Sounds cool.

 

Guardian! Reminds me of an old man gurgling on his cough syrup while falling off the stairs.

I second that

 

Wow Arachanox you even have a title"Judicator Arachanox" and an army's name"Twilight Swarm"....cool.

erm,I will call myself Admiral Drafty(oh God my name suck...).

 

U know wat's boring- Protoss archon just explode like wtf ?

 

Also the infested terran is cool if ya get him before he suicides. They just sort of...fall apart. Mid-stride

 

the NUKE! missile
