I was looking around gamefaqs.com, and I decided to see what they had on starcraft. Here are some highlights.
Nice, I like the added effect of telling people that spores take away health.
Oppps thats why they dont work for me!
The deadliest air unit in the game? pfft, maybe not
AHAHAHAHA. almost unstoppable.
I thought this one was funny, 99.9% of the time.
That one is funny also.

Devourers - ***
They almost have no point but to support guardians. Their
attack shoots spores into its enemies, and once theres 8,
the enemy unit keeps on losing health. Anyway, don¹t bother
with these unless you are going to have guardians.

Scouts - ****
The deadliest air unit in the game. 12 of these bad boys can
take out anything. Make sure you upgrade, and they can take
ground units with little to no trouble. You do need to get a lot
of the upgrades, so you take off as much as possible.

Zealot - ****
Zealots rule. A 12 zealot rush is almost unstoppable, and it
can tear about almost anyother ground unit the game, with the
exception of dark templars. Zealots are also great at defending
against siege tank attacks. Zealots are the best unit in the
game moneywise. 1200 minerals for a unstoppable force between
5-10 minutes of the game?

Dragoons - ***
These are ok, but can get pretty useless, especially when
you are at a narrow part of the map, and you only get 3 or 4
dragoons through at a time. Dragoons are nice by themselves,
but with zealots. and templars, they tend to separate your
attack in groups, which aint good. Go with scouts if you
want air support for zealots, and dark templars, dont use
dragoons. You will be pounded, 99.9% of the time.

Vulture - *
Basically a piece of crap. They DO have the mines, which
can be alright, but a smart opponent can just detect them and
destroy a lot of wasted time. My suggestion. Don¹t bother
getting these. These guys, however, can be reasonably good
if you good. Get them quick, and they can tear about marines,
but if you face a bunker full of them, simply speed past it,
and kill your opponents SCVs. This also works with weak
zerg units (if there is such a thing). Dont bother creating
vultures against a protoss opponent. You will just get laughed
at.

- To get your map around, give them to as much friends as
possible that plays SC. That way, distribution will go

-Q: What game mode do you recommend?
A: Melee. Ladder is too slow (on fast, not fastest) and if you lose,
everyone sees it. UMS is ok, but melee is where the fun is at.
You can pretty much do anything, and you can work out strategies.
Losses don¹t really mean anything, because its almost all pratice.
Ladder is the main part, it just isn¹t very fun.
-- Each race has a great unit, and a really bad unit. Zerg¹s
mutalisk, well just plain sucks. It can not defeat any of
its equals 1v1, and for that matter even 12v8. Very weak,
and an almost pointless unit unless you rush. The terran
marine is almost a laughing-stock. 4 of these probably
couldn¹t take on one zealot, and the one thing that saves
these marines from instant death is the medic. However,
with medics, marines can be one of the deadlier units.
And lastly is the Protoss. While most of its units are
great, the templar and the carrier has to be the worst.
The templar can not attack. You need to waste 75 power
points to use its psionic storm (its only attack), and
a smart opponent can just move out of the way without
getting hurt. What saves templars is the ability to make
an archon from 2 templars. And archons are simply sweet.
The carrier is also a weak unit.

I agree. I mean hes trying to diss the best units in the game. And show how the "sucky" units rule. Basically he talks crap out of the zerg and terran because hes all Protoss. He says scouts are the deadliest air units and he says zealots are unstoppable. But for the dragoon he says it's okay. WTF?
.
THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER. Notice that he uses 'waste' and say that a smart opponent can just move away. Also notice that he uses 'power points' instead of energy.
Well this is strange. The carrier has 150 sheilds and 350 hit points. So does that supposed to mean that a battlecruiser is also weak?
Probably a 11 yr old wrote this nonsense.

I wonder what he's talking about. In a 12 v 8 against other units, they usually have a fair chance because of the bouncing attack. Except probably wraiths when they cloak.

ELEVEN YEAR OLD?!
HAH
By eleven I was twice that knowledgable...
More like an 8 year old. He says Zealots own... in straightforward assaults against something like a bunch of Marines, sure. He thinks straight forwardly...
He calls Mana/Energy "Power points" which sounds stupid.
He says Carriers suck, although they are one of the more powerful units.
He knows sh*t about the Defiler yet he doesn't like it...*plagues the noob's @$$, then casts Dark Swarm on self and burrows*
He obviously doesn't understand scouting.
He thinks Psi Storm is useless. And hallucination.
All he says about the Archon is that it's what makes HT's useful, but seems to forget the fact that it's one of the game's most powerful units.
8-year-old-like, not 11.

For noobies, I suggest an SCV rush which will have a near 0 chance of succeeding due to the fact that the player might have accumulated 50 minerals or more while your SCV's are on the way. In which case he'll make one last unit(in MUCH MUCH MUCH less time it takes for an SCV, Drone or Probe to kill main building), which will OWN the rusher...
and then show him why you DO. NOT. PEON. RUSH.
Especially if it's NOT a 1vs1...
If you DO do what I suggest every time, you'll never become an SC Xpert, and thus, I'll own more and more people.
