SC2 Mercenaries vs their Ladder Version 

Don't you just love ladder goliaths and firebats? Also I know, I know, I didn't make the banshee mercs fight...

I’ve thought for the longest time that Jackson’s revenge were named after the players profile name or something so everyone had their own ship with their name in it.

That firebat fight almoust burned my eyes out.

Spartan Company failing against a lightly larger amount of Goliaths: "Sounds reasonable. They're not that buffed up, plus being more of an anti-air unit" Hammer Securities failing against the same amount of Marauders: "What do we pay you for?!"

That Hel’s Angels AOE was nuts

That match between the Devil Dogs and Firebats. When they are trying to drown each other in fire.

That Firebat vs Devil Dog fight was a thing of burning beauty. And Spartan Company Goliaths win the DERP award.

I actually thought ladder BC's had a shot there with being so different from WOL BC's, didn't realize Jackson's were so damn tanky

My god I just love the firebat voice. It's so good

I don't remember what the damage table is for the marauder versus the hammer security, but the difference in damage must be something where it doesn't actually change the number of total shots it takes to kill one versus the other

Watching the Jackson's revenge fleet just power through the Yamato cannon barrage like it was nothing, and then be very outnumbered for like a good minute, just to come back from the brink of losing and kill the last battlecruiser as it was preparing to fire was the most badass thing.

That Marauder battle really shows how critical troop positioning really is. Also damn I forgot how bad the Battlecruiser anti-air was

Everyone: Facing higher numbers or crushing the same-ish amount of opponents. Hammer Securities and Spartan company: :clown_face:

I’m wanting to see Dominion Elite units versus Nova’s Elite units. Had the thought because of this.

damn those campaign upgrades on the hel's angels made a world of diffrence

So what happened with the Marauders is that on the ladder they have 125 HP but for some reason in the campaign they have 100. Hammer Security has bonus HP, but it just brings them back to 125. Both sides Stim down to 105. While Hammer does 24 base damage to the ladder’s 20, once you factor in +1/+1 upgrades the math works out so each side needs five attacks to kill the other. It’s an even fight.

I still find it funny that the Fire Bat is actually one of the most tankiest units in the Terran race.

5/7, for some reason I never felt Hammer Securities was that bad during the campaign lol oh well. That final air battle was pretty cool, despite how one-sided it was 😂

"Ready to roast?" "You've got my attention…" Kinky

Great to see Firebats and DDs live by their own words. respect+

That last battle was surprising. Keep em coming...been playing SC franchise since it dropped in 98.

A siege tank rematch where both go into siege mode once they're all in range would be cool to see

I always thought the Hammer Securities and Spartan Co felt weak I guess this confirms my feeling

50 Marauders beat 50 Hammer Securities, How is that possible?

Just the flame wall in the fire at fight? Amazing

Hammer securities took me by surprise, NGL, but I instantly knew the Spartan Company was going to lose, you see, they suffer from the same problem Nova's Elite Goliaths, they are fat, meaning that they fit less models on the same battle line compared to regular ones, turning their stat advantage null.

I was looking forward to Banshees vs Dusk Wings [they just fly past each other] Draw.

I really do think this one is one that should have just matched costs, just to see which one is more effective per supply/price, which is the whole argument for getting mercs in campaign

To me, it is like SC1 vs SC2 units because some of them are old ued units with some adjustments .

I love the Siege Tanks dropping the "siege" and just being tanks for once... XD They may not have the insane range and area damage, but they still deal solid damage with a surprisingly fast rate of fire (faster than a Marauder).

Hells angel are insane

Devil Dog vs. Firebat: I heard you like the color O R A N G E ?

I do and shocked how certain units dominate the battlefield and others 😅😆 equal sad though about the banshee can't fight each other

Imagine battles of Mengsk's HotS Royal Guard vs Mengsk's Co-op Royal Guard

Spartan Company needs some good old fashioned discipline. That's what they need.

Should've made a banshee fight too, them just flying through each other or something

The firebat fight reminded me of the super best friends punisher playthrough...but I am sure I'm the only one old enough to know what I'm talking about

The BC battle was the most ansioux thing i ever saw

I learned from this experience that viking area damage is completely and entirely OP.

I was expecting a Banshee fight as a joke

Should have named the Devil Dogs as Hell's Angels.... I mean they spit fire......

My god the battlecruisers!

Can you make it so that two teams consisting mostly of Marines and several banshees fought and who might have rushed into battle first so that they were immediately destroyed

firebat range is insane compared to devildogs but the hp difference is key though

This makes me wonder: how do the mercs match up against Dominion Imperial guard (elite versions of terran units from Heart of the Swarm, all enemies in the last mission are those and there are some on previous levels.)

OK, I was not expecting the Marauder one to go this way...

hmm i only got 2 wrong XD the marauder fight and the goliath fight :P loved this lol that BC fight was so long lol and those jacksons revenge are super tanky lol

That Firebat battle tho 😎

COLLATERAL IS MY FAVORITE KINDA DAMAGE!!!

The Goliath comparison should have been about how many mutas each type can take down, not setting them against each other with their shitty autocannons. No one trains a Goliath for its ground attack.

i remember that the jackson revenge made an special atack in area

Maybe Banshees and Dusk Wings could have a competition on how fast they can kill a certain target instead?

PSA FOR EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT MARAUDERS VS HAMMER SECURITIES Marauders and Hammer Securities have the same attack speed, even in LotV. The tooltips are only different because Marauder numbers are calculated under FASTER time while Hammer Security numbers are calculated under NORMAL time. When pitted against each other, you need to realize that they are firing at the same rate of fire! They also both have stim in this video, so there is no point about attack speed difference. Of course, this does not change the fact that Hammer Securities are bad mercenaries, as seen in the video.

You should use for a true comparaison when you use theme for the same cost of mineral and vespen

now we know we should use mercs

I think the BCs should shoot ground AND air at the same time, at least the campaign/mercenaries versions, would be badass :D Btw you made a mistake in the scorebaord at the end, it is the mercenaries BCs who won.

the only disadvantage mercenaries units have is the size. And in large numbers counts. Because they can't bunch up like the ladder units having less or same firepower as the ladder units right away. So it must be that. Mercenaries units are good in small numbers not in mass.

Goliath, the ladder version

meanwhile Dusk Wings are like '................'

should have grabbed my welding mask for that third one # blindedbythelight

Man the Vikings vs Hels Angel's showed that in mass fights, slash damage is everything. Also, the fight between Spartan Company and the Goliaths was surprisingly one-sided. I thought Spartan Company would win o.o

I was waiting for duskwing vs banshees

No banshees vs dusk wings? :( we missed a staring contest for the ages!

i kinda wanna see raynor’s barracks units from coop with backwater marshal against stuff

Did Hammer Securities actually have Stim? I always thought campaign Marauders were stim less.

Hey, Tya! I've got a suggestion on your videos. Can you add information about unit's damage, armour, type, hp/shields?

I just love Jackson's revenge's attack animation, and I think the battlecruiser's blink actually pulled them back? Because they have to fly back in and not attack.

Wow Hells Angel are pretty good against there counterfeit 😂

This was cool. … In the future, I would love to see a Merc Commander.

1:01 imagine ultralisk between it

This video is asking a very good question is quantity better then quality or is quality better then quantity aka the Mercs are quality and the ladder is quantity I do love your vids it can help because then you know which units beat other units or to see some cool battles

Очень переживал за Возмездие Джексона

I don't think Hammer Securities should have stimpack. Maybe that's just me.

The first time that I've notice thst the viking mercs are called Hel's Angels, not Hell's Angels

Full Terran noice !

I guess Jackson had his revenge.

Nobody in their right mind would ever autocast tactical jump.

But what about Dusk Wings vs Banshees? I NEED TO KNOW! Also I realizes BCs jumping away from the fight doesn't really help them like with stalkers, they don't regenerate health, it just weakens the battle line.

Now that i think those merc could be best buff for raynor if it could be implemented

What on earth was that Marauder fail... The mercs have higher stats, and yet lost...? In a 1-1 ratio battle...

I've been watching starcraft 2 content and enjoying it for a good year now. And I still don't know what ladder units are. Can someone please explain it to me? Cuz I googled it and found nothing that explained it

What no Banshees?

how about campagn units vs MP units, like firebats vs marauders

i wonder,can you make a video compared unit in mass recall campaign (sc1) to unit in sc2,i want to see how their change stats play out

The Siege Breakers and Hel's Angels are easily the best mercs in WoL. The Siege Breakers are just...wow! In siege mode they wreck just about anything they have vision of and in tank mode, well you saw what just happened. With Hel's Angels their AoE attack advantage gives them that solid advantage. The Dusk Wings (banshees) also aren't bad with their AoE upgrade. If I had to rank the mercs from best to worst it would be: 1. Siege Breakers 2. Hel's Angels 3. Dusk Wings 4. War Pigs (marines): Their survivability alone make them worth it. 5. Spartan Company: Mostly for their anti-air which we didn't get to see here. 6. Jackson's Revenge: The biggest advantage here is the ability to have a BC in battle with no starport and fusion core.The unit itself is... okay, and you only get one per mission. It sure does look cool, though. 7. Hammer Securities: I'm not sure what happened here. Did the AI derp out because units with added damage and health should win. I also wonder if they had the WoL armory upgrades. 8. Devil Dogs: It should be fairly obvious that firebats are pretty useless in SC2; I don't even think they were all that great in SC1. Upgraded or not I generally don't bother.

Kind of suck there weren't any Protoss mercenaries in LOTV. Then again LOTV had a lot of missed opportunities.

I got 4/6. (I was spoiled on the goliath fight)

wait hold on why did the hammer securities even have stim. they didn't have stim in WOL

I think WoL maduraders were weaker and had no stim. LotV mauraders are super buffed, basically Hammer securities with faster attack rate, stim and range

How do you get the original voices of the units to say stuff?

Spartans, making Goliath s9mehow even worse...

Please update your tyas defense map!

Lol Hammer Securities are a scam

Why no banshee vs husk wings?

Where's Banshee vs Merc Banshee? SMH my head...

What about fight between ground vikings?

Why do merc marauders have stims?

6/7 Got the Goliaths wrong

siege breaker is korean called = 공성 사기단[siege frauder] i new it siege breaker

Fireabats were added to the ladder?
