The Sc movie

[war3man]

in the little biggining movie clip it shows a marine being attack by what thing.. zergling? or hydra? i mean the zerg thing was too big to be a zergling and the hydra spits.. can sumone tell me..

 

[aphextwin]

its most likely a zergling,,,,, cuz it had legs

I think it was just the Zerg Hydralisk using its blades as weapons instead of the Acid Spines. There is more than one instance in the StarCraft movie clips that it doesn't match the gameplay. That Protoss Carrier using a blue Death Star Laser for instance. If you want a real answer just assume that the Zerglings melee attack is more powerful than the Hydralisks so they know to always use their Acid Spines instead.

Na, I say it was a Broodling, considering they were near a Hive, and there were two of them. Broodlings are small and use their claws, so, it's only logical.

EDIT: Oh, the very beginning, my bad...yeah, I'd say that was a Hydra.

 

[aphextwin]

broodlings has no eyes..............

 

[Renzokuken]

How can any of you dispute the fact that it is a Zergling. Look at it attack, it's melee, it can jump, it is small, it walks on all fours.

Why are we discussing this? It's a Zergling, no doubt about it.

 

[betaalpha5]

what movie are u guys talking about?

 

[Renzokuken]

The BW movie, the initial movie when you first install it. You can view it anytime from inside the main menu.

It's where the Marine gets facked by the Zerglings, and DuGalle & Stukov are bullsh!tting it up in the BC, then the BC takes off.

 

[raDixGhost]

Those bastards man. I would cry, and shoot the BC!

 

[betaalpha5]

o that, i saw lings 4 legs running fast. come on

 

[Biske]

I don't know, I always imagined Lings to be....knee high, not ankle bitters.

 

[war3man]

lol u guys dont under stand!! I MEAN THE BIGGINING!!! WHERE THE FIREBAT BURNS THE ZERG THINGS THAts ON TOP OF THE MARINE AND THE FIREBAT FLIES BECUZ OF AN EXPLOSION

 

[Andrew]

The clip that you see like right after you install and you don't skip to the menu screen.

 

[Biske]

yeah, we'v come to the conclusion that that is a Zergling....or was it a Hydra?...I'M CONFUSED.

actually i saw it walking on twos....
and it looks awfully darn alot like a hydra :\

 

[betaalpha5]

fine it's a melee hydra happy now!

 

[Biske]

Um, wait. Hydras don't walk, period. They slither. Right, how bout we just ask Blizz's Cinematics team "wtf is that in the first 5 seconds of the BW vid?"

 

[Renzokuken]

OK, time to settle this you nubs!!!!

Here is a Hydralisk. Here is a Zergling.

Here is a move-clip-worthy Hydralisk. Here is the Zergling from the movie/intro clip.

You guys figure it out. The Hydralisk has a sort-of slug/tail thing that it moves on, the unit in the movie clip, has four friggin' limbs on the ground. Therefore it is a...

ZERGLING!!!​

Case closed, the matter is settled. The next person that says it is a Hydralisk will die!!!

 

[Biske]

Ok, ok, THAT is a Zergling, but is it the one that attcks the Marine? Show me a clip of that, and I'll be won over.

Wicked cool Hydra toy, me want one.

Um, 4 limbs? I count two...in that pic anyway.

 

[aphextwin]

the face looks like a hydra

therefore we should call it a hydraling
