Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

[sp]I choose Nova because shes the most powerful ghost in the SC universe. She killed 300 people just because she THOUGHT ABOUT IT. She can physically dominate people. Kerrigan before she even became a Zerg wasn't that powerful. She can end you with a thought. So yeah, Nova is the smart choice.[/sp]

What the Zerg did was unlock her powers, and even then she had to infiltrate a Terran lab to find the way to unlock herself (this happened in SC1 shortly after her "infestation"). Also I think that the Psi-scale doesn't follow a specific formula (for example a level 20 will be 500 times or something stronger than a level 10, not twice as powerful).

They straightout tell you in Starcraft Ghost: Nova. Kerrigan rewrote the scale, Nova scored higher on the NEW scale. Now infested Kerrigan is the more powerful physic though. But in the book they say. Nova is the most powerful ghost that has been found. The second most powerful being a drooling idiot in a basement, who died shortly before they learned of Nova.

The adjutant says "class 12 psi signature detected" when Kerrigan appears (and since it's very recent it's on the same scale as Nova).

I think she might be a bit more powerful after that, ya know? Being that the Zerg are a psychically active race like the Toss? Nova is more powerful than Kerrigan as a ghost. As ghosts with psychic dampeners that are used on ALL ghosts. Nova can dominate people, Kerrigan couldn't. Nova can lift herself off the ground, Kerrigan couldn't. Nova can read minds through a psi screen. Kerrigan couldn't.

Missing quite a few spoiler tags here.

They aren't spoilers from SC2.

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;24040237]They aren't spoilers from SC2.[/QUOTE] Ah, I don't recall Nova.

Kerrigan couldn't.[/QUOTE] [highlight]Spoliers ahead![/highlight] [quote]Her powers were reduced by both ghost conditioning and a neuro-adjuster but after the latter's removal, she was powerful enough to throw Major Rumm around with telekinesis and fry his brain.[/quote] If she could throw him around the room, she could lift herself (works the same way), it's just that she isn't mentioned doing it. [quote]Kerrigan was uniquely suited to controlling zerg even before she was infested.[/quote] If she could control Zerg, I doubt controlling or reading minds would have been much of a problem. And no, the Zerg infestation [B]unlocked[/B] her abilities, and not even completely: [quote]Shortly after hatching from her cocoon, Kerrigan revealed that the ghost conditioning which had been inflicted on her was still hampering the full potential of her psionic abilities[/quote] As a Ghost, it really comes down to how much Kerrigan had been weakened, but if we exclude Ghost conditioning and various inhibitors, Kerrigan was always class 12.[sp] I guess we'll see in HotS, after all Mengsk will want to kill Kerrigan, and it just fits that he would send the best Ghost (Nova)[/sp].

Anyone up for some 1v1's or 2v2's(Or more if you have some friends, doesn't matter if it's against cpu or league)? I'd love getting some gold+ players to 2v2 with so I can learn a few things, been away from sc for too long. (EU, Crimor, 360)

The Zerg Infestation also likely enhanced her abilities. I still say Nova is the more powerful ghost, [sp]Nova killed 300 people when she finally unlocked her psychic powers. [/sp]

[/sp][/QUOTE] Let's put it like this: There is simply not enough data to say for sure that either is more powerful. The only real way to know is either that [sp]Kerrigan[/sp] and Nova fight in HotS (and even then they both have to be at the top of their abilities to make it valid) or asking Metzen himself.

Then lets have a argument someone can win. Which ones hotter?

Kerrigan as human, I'd say. Also she isn't completely brainwashed and kept her personality.

cloaked nova is hotter.

omgomgomg One of the questions on yesterday's day9 was "What do you tell a player who is afraid of doing 1v1 ladder matches?" THIS PERTAINS TO ME. MUST WATCH RESPONSE.

[QUOTE=mercurius;24039965][sp]I was thinking only psychologically, but physically aswell? That girl seems to be into some kinky stuff.[/sp] :q:[/QUOTE] If you think about it having a hot girl in a skin-tight suit going around that can read your mind would be quite problematic. "Dat ass- OH FUCK did she just read this?! Oh shit oh shit" and so on. [editline]07:01PM[/editline] [QUOTE=darkrei9n;24041013]Then lets have a argument someone can win. Which ones hotter?[/QUOTE] Hmm, well I'm going to assume we're talking about Human Kerrigan, and that she looks like she did in the cinematics and not in her portrait (in her portrait she's identical to Nova, only with red hair). Probably Nova, but we'll have to see more of Kerrigan before we can judge.

Regards to which is hotter I think they are both very close. I mean it's like they are both the same person to me in the way they look and act. Ones blonde and the other is a red head, that's basically the only difference to me. However SC1 Sarah Kerrigan was an ugly looking slut. Now that they redesigned her she's WAY better looking. Infested Kerrigan of SC2 wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for those demon dreads.

Don't you guys remember this mission? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg6T_rendsk[/media]

I would have to go with Nova too, however she seems like the person who if you piss off you won't be watching her tits, you'll be scared for your life. But if you keep her happy, she's damn hot.

[img]http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4430/nova2.jpg[/img][img]http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/33/kerrigan2.jpg[/img] They barely differ. The cinematic Kerrigan is a bit more detailed but afterall it's just if you prefer a redhead over a blonde. Also Kerrigan didn't lost her personality like Nova due to memory wipe.

Won't she have a psy dampener? I've heard sme ghosts go nuts when they can read all those minds.

Easiest option: Steer clear of psionics unless you are more powerful than them (which in these two's case, steer clear fo them unless you are the God Emperor of Mankind).

infested kerrigan is hotter.

[QUOTE=mercurius;24041618]Won't she have a psy dampener? I've heard sme ghosts go nuts when they can read all those minds.[/QUOTE] That just stops them from reading everyone's mind in a 100km radius, but they'll still read minds (in case of Nova or Kerrigan they can "talk" to people too, Kerrigan sent a series of dreams alternating between pleasant and horrible dreams to Raynor for example).
