Anyway TenB, if you think Ghosts counter Zerg, we should play some time.
Well, ghosts counter all hive tech, as well as infestors. And unlike vikings, they are not vulnerable to a brolord -> ultra tech switch. But if you want to rush into a siege tank line/marine ball with nothing but lair tech, be my guest...

I have never read Cupcakes and I don't plan on exposing myself to that level of awful.

It was then I realized that you're talking about 2, and now I am sad.
'Cause at first I was like "durr hurr my overlords will make you useless"
I have SC2 but I don't think I ever played melee online. Even in the days of StarCraft I really only stuck to Use Map Settings (I even made an RPG or two because the map editor was so easy to use). I do like TD games though, that's about the only thing I play IF I ever play the game.

lol brood war. Lockdown them zerg robots.
Seriously though, the CMC toon is from SC2. I don't recall ghosts in SC1 having Snipe, EMP and Nuke capabilities. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've played a bit online, but my mechanics are horrid. No time to practice stuff like that. Too busy with ponies.

They did have Nukes... Red dot, 'NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED' voice screaming at you, running away after to not get caught in your own splash. And they had some sort of EMP as well, I remember having ghosts for the explicit purpose of locking down spammed protoss carriers.
What DO you play if you don't play online? The campaign over and over?

Well, no. In SC1, Nukes cost $arm+$leg and consumed 8 supply. No ghosts ever dropped a nuke in multiplayer.
And they did have EMP, but those were on the Science Vessel, not the Ghost.

Anyway, Tenbromo, maybe you could help me with this. For a while now, I've been trying to remember a match I watched a while ago (2009 or earlier) on GOMTV that was TvP. In it, the T (Mind, I think) had no observers and noticed a DT moving passed his tank line, so he targeted one of his own tanks and used the splash to kill the DT.
I thought it was him vs Bisu from '06, but when I watched it it wasn't the right match. Any idea?

No idea. I wasn't really into the SC1 progaming scene, and the only reason I know who Flash is is that people who were tend to bring him up a lot as some sort of legend.
