For me I would normally say Toss, for reasons I can easily list. But I have to say that it really depends on the player, and their style of play. For me, the strategic element as well as raw speedy development I must go with Toss. For others, Zerg is a viable option if their strategy is creating mass units. I detest zerg mostly because I'm not good with them, and their an annoying opponent...especially when your about to start production and those zerglings come pounding in for a pre-emptive attack.

i hate toss and zerg for these reasons (hate fighting them that is)
1) zerg can early rush with lings
2) toss can early rush with 'lots
3) toss can make an early defense
4) zergs creep is a bitch if you want to make a base where they are
but for the most part i prefer terran! terran is a good mix of them both. they have range (seige tank and BC), good anti air (goliaths and rines), special abilities (lockdown, cloak) and medics.

From what I can tell, equal. Blizard did a good job at balancing such different races. If I had to make a call, it would slightly be to Protoss, although Terran are my favorite.

Yeah, as I tell all my friends that don't think SC is the best strategy game of all time, starcraft has the most balanced races unlike any other game, in such a way that anyone with any race can win with enough strategy and enough intelligence. Every race is somehow equal...Blizzard did an amazing job.
But I love the Toss the most simply because they can alter their strategy mid-game, and you don't have to always use the same one to win. What I mean is, they can set up a quick defense, mass rush with small units early, stall and set up an unstoppable strategic attack force, flank, cannon push, mass produce minerals, etc. They have in my opinoin, the most flexible defense of all the races, but can be countered by any other race as long as they know what the toss are doing. And, my personal favorite thing about the toss: they are the most efficient builders as one probe can do all the work.

but with that one probe, you might have a tendancy to overbuild

i say it depends on the player because the races have advantages over each other, so the player would have to find a weakness in the opponents playing/strategy.
i would have said toss just because they are my best race but then id look at eric's zerg and thats good. then look at some other person's terran, it all evens out in the long run to depending on the player and their skill level/abilities.

it can, or a person in general. i havent seen your terran lately cuz you havent been on. but as i said it all depends upon the skill level and abilities the person has with the selected race. thats why its always good to have skill with all 3 races so that you know how they work so when you play against that race you can come up with something to do against the race.

The Race: Terran!
The Reasons:
Best stealth skills
· Ghosts
· Scanners
· Wraiths
Most powerful units
· Tanks
· Battle Cruisers
· Nuclear Missles
Best Defenses
· Bunkers - cheap and bulky with customized defense.
· Scanners - easily pick up stealth units anywhere instantly.
· Bounce Pads - allows buildings to mobilize, making easy defense formations.
Easiest Expansion
· Bounce Pads - allow for buildings to mobilize, making it easy to move to a new base.
· Scanners - allow you to check empty bases, without employing vital units.
Only race with Women
· Medics - Cute and keep infantry healed, a PRICELESS ability.
· Valkyries - Sexy, exotic, and also the best anti-air force ever assembled due to splash damage.
· Dropships - Okay, she's not that cute, but she's okies for you with red-neck fetishes.

True there. I really hate playing the final missions in Broodwar because of the Zerg. Kerrigan is a bitch, and I just started to lose enthusiasm in the game's missions. I pulled a FFVII  |
