Who do you think will "Win" in SC2?

What I mean to say is that the first starcraft ended with the protoss killing the overmind, so the protoss kinda "won" that. In Brood War, Kerrigan pretty much beats everyone, so the Zerg "won". So who this time?

 

Hybrids maybe? Who knows?

 

Oh, interesting topic. I kinda hope that nobody will win, so to speak. Unfortenately, I feel that since Jim has really become the "main guy" of the game, I think the terrans will win, if we're speaking about races.

I'd love for Kerrigan to win again, but I don't see that happening ^^

 

I seriously think that the Hybrids are going to own up everyone in SC2. Although it may sound like a WC3 spinoff, I really think that all 3 races (Terran, Zerg, Protoss) will unite and fight against the Hybrids and Xel'Nagas.

 

jimmy wins of course

 

I don't think i'm too far off when i guess it will all end with Raynor killing Kerrigan, holding her in a gentle embrace as she breathes her dying breath, when Raynor says: "But i loved you, Sarah!" She looks to him, strokes his rugged cheek with her slimy fingers, then speaks her final words in a weak yet cruel manner: "I had the choice between you and the claws... i think my choice was pretty darn obvious."

Ok, bad jokes aside, since Blizzard are known for their spinning triangle in SC (Terran being Chapter 1 in SC1, and Chapter 2 in SC:BW, Protoss winning SC1, Zerg winning SC:BW, etc), i would guess the Terrans (i.e Raynor) win this time around, now that Tassie and Kerry have had their share of the Champion's piedestal, respectively.

 

Yea, I've wondered about this before. My real question, what was the Xel'Naga's intent in the first place? My understanding of it was that they wanted to create the perfect race. When the Protoss didn't work out they just moved on to the Zerg. They didn't really kill off the Protoss as the result of a "failed" creation. But then again, I understand that the Xel'Naga departed in a frantic departure cuz the Protoss sort of overwhelmed them.

I wonder if the Xel'Naga would feel a need to come back and actually eradicate all of its "failed children" or if they are more peace loving beings who only wanna sit back and watch us evolve. But one thing I found interesting was that the Xel'Naga basically turned once "peaceful" organisms into what we now know as the nefarious, violent Zerg. So it seems to me that this Xel'Naga race is very capable of possessing power-hungry characteristics, and are very capable of annihilating an entire race.

And if so, then yea, teaming up would be kind of interesting. Plus maybe then when it's all over Raynor and Kerrigan could get married 'n have lil infested babies 'n alla that for one great big happy ending.

 

happy ending does not suit sc i rather see kerrigan die and terran "won" this time around

 

Technically speaking as the terrans you did win, because the Dominion destroyed the Confederacy and again as Jim Raynor was aligned with the protoss. You cant look at this as Which race will win, it's "Good or Bad". As gray Starcraft is it contains some very powerful shades of black and white when you really come down to it.

They'll either repeat the same process of Good wins in First, Bad wins in Expansion OR, like i've mentioned before since this will more than likely be the final SC (in RTS form anyway) They may make the bad guys win the first time around and follow up with Good guys winning, but more than likely in a bittersweet way.

Hybrids face each race as independant forces and kicks ass and takes some names. The expansion the forces unit to beat the hybrid but it's bittersweet in the fact that by the end of it no one is really friends and they return to their old ways, probably via the same kind of backstabbing way Kerri did. I see Raynor killing Kerrigan by the very end of the expansion and it sparks back into a unique three way where no one has complete dominance.

Also TBH the odds are always against the good guys given that the only race to display a true sort of "Good Alignment" was the Toss accompanied by Jimmy (Since he's not the mainstay of the terrans he falls under the protoss category) whereas the Terrans and the Zerg are both evil, Terrans in a "We do shit to better ourselves and no one else no matter the consequences" and Zerg with the "fucking kill everyone in the galaxy." So you can never be sure how Blizz portrays it.

All I know is I'm pretty sure I share the same sentiment with everyone else that in a story as epic as this you WANT the good guys to win or be at a slight advantage at the very end, or atleast a state of neutrality established.

 

@ArchLimit: While i do not think the Xel'Naga, with their background of tending to lower lifeforms, would destroy races because of inferior traits, i do think they'd let stronger, more developed races destroy these lesser should it further strengthen the already strong. After all, the did allow the Zerg to completely assimilate the native species of Zerus into the Swarm, in order to strengthen them.
Also, while i don't think the Xel'Naga themselves will actually battle the denizens of the Korprulu Sector in SC2, though i am sure they will aid, or even outright support the Hybrids (Or Zeratoss/Proterg as i like to call them).

I guess time will tell.

 

Well, If ....
SC1 campaign order -> T Z P and protoss end up winning.
SCBW campaign order -> P T Z (both good guys play first, then get their ass kicked) zerg wins.
Then SC2 will probably be -> Z P T (zerg attacks, then terran and then protoss beat her one after the other)

Terran will win, thats my guess. Going even further:
SC2 Expansion -> T Z P (protoss end up winning again)

 

Yea, I think either the Terran win for the first time, or, that the Hybrids/Xel'Naga win. I'd like it if there was a tie and another cliffhanger.

 

I think lemmy is right about the order. It would really be nice to the zerg start it off and then have thr protoss set it up so jimmy can strike back at kerrigan. As for the SC2 expansion (hopefully there is one) It would be really nice to the Protoss win one in my opinion they didnt win in the original starcraft they just avoided losing really really bad.

 

Kerwyn what do you mean? They didn't avoid losing very badly, they absolutely rwnt the overmind bringing the zerg to it's knees. Regardless of being injured mortally, in the end they destroyed their opponent. Perhaps in the expansion you could say that but really they werent the ending race.

 

Protoss dominated the Zerg in the first game.
Which came back to bite them in the ass in Brood War.
Now they're buidling up on Shakuras and I'm betting the ones that know Jim will help him out with Mengsk and Kerrigan will come into the story, only to die at the hands of Zeratual and Jim.

 

I would say at the end of the original starcraft the Protoss they just took the overmind with them. I mean they fought a civil killed each other as much as the zerg and ultimately lost their homeworld. In the expansion they only reason they werent wiped out was the xel'naga temple and evn then kerrigan still forced Zeratul to kill Razshigal and Artanis had to retreat just like Mengsk and the UED. In my opinion generally means having the other guys lose more than you. Which the zerg definitely didn't all they did was change masters while the Protoss lost their homeworld a large portion of their population and 3 of their greater heros. (2 of them in brood war) So i would have a hard time saying the Protoss "Won" anyhing in SC1 they primarily just avoided losing.

P.S. I am a Protoss fan and it would be really nice to see them really win one.

 

I'd like to see a Terran/Protoss win but I don't see that happening. But I do think it's time for a Terran "win".

 

lol exactly. Even though I like the old Jimmy better, I really hope that he will 'win'. He has good motives and such. Of course, if the Protoss win, I have no problems with that either, so long as they are good Protoss and not some new evil Protoss faction. (which could always happen)

 

i hope ulrezasj will win

 

Yeah, or gets soo drunk that he can't even recognize his own mom lol
