Zerg Hydralisk stab or spit?

If something like that caused lag (this causing lag is actually impossible but I'm just entertaining the notion) then the coding for the engine would be so bad, units wouldn't even be able to attack at all without lag.

 

hydras in the sc1 alpha meleed ground units

 

realy? hmmm...

 

Hmm i c, thx for the info paragon. So then it would be alright i guess.

 

this is like asking why can't a mutalisk eat something with it's mouth or a drone to attack with it's pincirs. The claws on the hydra are just cosmetical. They wouldn't attack with them becuase there is no use and besides, they're probably really slow at sliceing and don't do as much damage as a god damned spike trhough ur body.

 

well I guess but...why dosent the hydralis have claws then I meen it defies volution in every way possible.

 

Yeah it does aswell, but I like the hydras how they are so I dont really have a problem with them having useless scythes lol.

 

5 pages and the development of this topic is still at like stage 1

acid + spine for acid penetration > a claw
hydralisks are 1337 zerglings cause they got promoted and using their claws = dragging themselves back down to a low of a mere zergling

hows that for a slightly off-topic jump!?

 

I agree..this topic will continue to go on and on, but giving the hydralisk a melee attack ability is pointless...it's bad enough that it spits and doesn't swallow...

 

i really dont know how your mind even hint itself hydralisk + swallowing.....lol?
that is some freaky fetish ._.

 

Lol power you missed that joke so bad ;D

 

If you have a fully loaded Glock G-18 and you want to kill someone in front of you will you shoot them in the face or pistol whip them a bajillion times until they die?

 

Well I guess but if a thing was running towards you and you had a loaded colt 45. , you would shoot it but when it like came withing 1 meter(like i duno 4 feet) of you you wouldint keep firing because you woulding have time to aim and problably hit it?

 

i think this is more like, you have a sword and a glock. you shoot with the glock until they get close. then you whip out the sword and slice and dice.

 

lol kinda like lego he shoots his bow and when the orcs come near he uses his swords

 

it would also be pretty awkward seeing the hydra attack with the sythes. when i picture it in my mind i think of hte hydra swining his arms up and down like a maniac.

 

it's not that hard to hit someone a meter in front of you. Hint: shoot at their chest.

 

if the hydra did have a mele attack it woulding be some creppy repetitive thing like mele attacks un starcaft, it would be several different attacks that did the same damage and looked cool and not stupid, like the zealot( they stab from time to time )

 

I read that post a few times and I still don't understand it.

 

hmmm... well he starts off saying it will be crappy like the zealot animation but then he says it looked cool and not stupid. i think he's trying to say it will look crappy.
