colossus is a massive robotic unit that is targetable by both air and ground attacks. it has a huge aoe that hits for massive damage and will rape practically anything on the ground. with its upgrade, it has the 2nd longest range in the game next to siege tanks and can outrange any defensive tower. stalker is roughly equivalent to a sc1 dragoon, with a bit less hp and damage, but it has a researchable short-range teleport called blink. these two units when combined cover each other's weaknesses very well and as far as cost comparisons go this unit comp is probably the best in the game overall. it requires very little micro and control to manage this army effectively, and because of this it is easy to throw in and control a few casters to the mix (such as high templar, sentries). there are good solid counters to it generally consisting of ranging the colossi with vikings, or using infestors, but you won't really see them until you get into platinum/diamond league and above. | |||

you would think that marauders would beat this since they counter each unit seperately. however, marauders don't really beat this composition straight up, the aoe damage is just too strong if the marauders can't reach the colossi (e.g. being blocked by stalkers). medivac heal is a drop in the bucket. if you're using sentries effectively it can be quite trivial to keep marauders at the perfect distance for massive colossi aoe as well. what a terran has to do is bait the stalkers into overextending themselves by sniping with vikings, and then engage the forces separately. or at the very least he has to switch to double viking production early enough to brute force his way through the colossi. this is all way more complicated than knuckle probably cares to hear. i'm just saying that the protoss deathball is the force to beat in the late game and it sounds like that would be the most appropriate tactic given his stated preferences, e.g. late game powerful units. | |||

6 Pool rush, Send in a scout asap 2 try and delay building of their Gateway or steal their extractor to delay stalkers or to prevent them from walling themselves in. Intill you get into the higher leagues this strat will pretty much win everytime. If you don't outright win, build an overlord and a roach warren while sending more zerglings to re-enforce the first wave and to keep on the pressure. 6 Pool is also great against ZvZ. I would suggest against it while vs Terran. & lul, not talking about some FFA pvp event. How many are on page 2 batman? | |||
