zerg cliff climbers

with the new scans, both terran and protoss have 2 ground units that can traverse cliffs with colossi's walking and stalker's blink for toss and reaper's jumppacks and viking's flight mode, so i think it would be logical to assume that zerg will have 2 "cliff climbers" as well.

thoughts?

 

this reminds me of a joke.....

what has 3 legs and climbs up a hill?

lol

they will have some sweet unit i cant wait till they are released!

WOOT! 100th post! now im a regular

 

good job becoming a regulard :good: as for the joke. i think you mean riddle. and anyways i think i know the answer. a hiker. 2 human legs and a walking stick XD

 

yeah seems like the nudus worm kinda does the job

however I assume nudus worms can only be placed once, so having a cliff climber is still usefu;

 

ok to clarify my joke.....

a retarded guy and a rocket scientist are having a contest they each ask each other a question and if the stupid guy doesent know the answer he gives the other guy $5 but if the rocket scientist doesent know the answer he gives the stupid guy $50

rocket scientist: what is 5x5?
stupid guy: idk heres $5
stupid guy what is ketchup made of?
rocket scientist: tomatos & vinager
rocket scientist: what is the square root of 100?
stupid guy: idk heres $5
Stupid guy: what has 3 legs and climbs up a hill?
rocket scientist: thats a really good question, heres $50
rocket scientist: by the way what is the answer?
stupid guy: idk heres $5

 

Of course, with colossus's easy travel up and down as well as the reaper's jetpacks, Zerg will definately have the capability to do as well.

 

lol, awsome joke

but i think a creative way to get up a cliff is to have a zergling tunnel from the bottom of the cliff through it going upwards until it surfaces at the top :]

 

Well for the zerg climber i think it might be an upgrade for the zerglings cuase they hop alot.

 

yeaaaaa

i could see that happening

im just worried that then u could have a massive zergling swarm instantly hop into your base

 

i just thought of another zerg climber idea well some of the other races climbers are massive so maby the ultralisk will be the climber? its pretty big.

 

but chances are the ultra wont be in SC2

 

only time will tell

i cant wait for terran and zerg gampepley demos

 

I personally feel that if there would be one race that gets screwed out of cliff climbers it'll be the zerg simply because they are supposed to "swarm" things.

But then again zerglings seem to have wings now so that could be an upgrade for em

 

I'd love a Sub-Hydralisk form being able to climb walls - Lurker-kind of unit 'cept it walks up cliffs and shoot in non-burrowed mode.

 

having zerg claw their way up a cliff is much cooler than jumping up a cliff

 

What if spreading creep from a creep colony near a cliff would form a ramp when it encounters a cliff, allowing any zerg units to travel upon it?

Also, all of the current "cliffjumpers" operate in different ways - Collosi use huge legs to step up/down cliffs, reapers use jetpacks to "hop", Stalkers blink, Vikings transform into aerial form - i think it would be redundant to have zerg units hop like reapers, they should either burrow through cliffs or climb up them using claws.

Probably Blizzard will make Lurkers able to climb walls

 

Oh yeah! Lurkers that climb walls would rock! But the creep idea isn't that bad. The only problem is that any race could benefit from it, or even other zergs if it was restricted to them.

Now Ultralisks really would be very much disadvantaged in a cliffed world, being a close range unit. Even though it's my favorite unit from the first, Ultras really would need a heck of adaptation to fit in SC2. So, they might as well just get slashed like the reaver was.

I dig the idea that Zerglings should be the ones to climb walls, and bring terror to the enemies. It's less than a Colossus, a Stalker or a Reaper, because they still wouldn't be able to cross small sections of water. However, it would be fitting, because they would be the lower tier unit to cross obstacles in the game. Zerglings coming from everywhere would just be terrifying! >

The only problem in this later possibility would be that the Colossi can kill zerglings with somewhat ease. But that would be balanced out, because they can turn into banelings and own them. But Banelings wouldn't follow to higher ground, enabling them to escape. It's a full circle, in which the zerglings would have a disadvantage for being irreversibly mutated, as the Colossi can still change it's strategy no matter how many times he wishes.

 

look at the forum information section starcraft pimp

 

JUMPALISK!½!!1+11!=?!=?!=!

To clearify it, I don't think it'll climb or use big legs, but rather jump or, most likely, move underground-ish, since burrowing is one of zergs characteristic abilities.

On the other hand... zergling with wings, anyone?
