The fact that each of her shots deal 30 damage, the Hydralisk has 80 HP and she beat that one with three shots blew my mind.

I feel the same way Kerrigan did at the end every time I lose to zerg.....  Where did all these lings come from.....

When I finished that mission and saw that huge Zerg attack wave I thought to myself, "Dammit! Should have built more bunkers!" I was frantically trying to get my attack force back to my base to save it, and then Mengsk was all, "Mmmmm...bye!"

When i played this mission in starcraft 1 there were a lot of overlords that could explain it.

Best Blizzard cinematic ever. These cinematics are so good Blizzard should just make a movie.

One of the biggest mistakes ever made by the "good guys" in the entire Starcraft canon. Instead of killing her, they zerg did something even worse - turn her into the biggest threat the galaxy has ever known. Nice job, Arcturus.

And hooray for tvtropes, they brought me here. I came to see a textbook Heroic BSOD.

Slow-mo hydralisk shot at 0:53 is so boss

Its weird that SC2 could have been radically different, Mengsk would still have the Dominion, Raynor would still be working under Mengsk, Duke would still be alive, and the whole senseless Amon and the Xel'Naga storyline would have never happened if Mengsk just sent a dropship in this moment.

And even if Kerrigan didn't survive the evac, Raynor wouldn't have been so quick to abandon him by the end of the Terran campaign.

She was out of energy. =p

That look of hatred and acceptance at the end is amazing to me... as good as any professional actor.

StarCraft. Movie. I still think Blizzard should make one.

The C-10 Canister rifle is full-auto? Damn, somebody should tell the ghosts that.

I didn't like how it was just her here when in game you build an entire FOB keeping the Zerg contained until you're supposed to get evacuated, that's why Raynor says "you're not just gonna leave THEM"

she looks so pretty on 2.04

She was infested, but never died. As a side note, her actions at the very end almost were as if she was looking up in anticipation of vengeance and then calling the zerg to her. Like perhaps she was connecting psionically with their (The Overmind's) intentions to take her rather than kill her. Like perhaps she knew she would live.

Or you might say she was just preparing herself to die.

Brings back memories about SC1. Glad they made a cinematic out of it.

Makes me cry everytime D:

I've watched this video more than 10 times this hour.

This is my favorite cinematic. Pure childhood memories right there.

Brothers, we got it in 1080p!!!
