In a 1v1 with marines vs collusus. You can win with marines if you spread them out in a way that makes it hard for collusus to hit them all. The one the collusus is aiming for can be run around too!

Belongs to Strategy forums :>
But nice to know ^^ Please link some video if you can record or find any.
Dose that count microing the collusus to?
With or without the range?
collosus just has to micro away a bit and the marines will follow.

AH, no range and no micro for collusus. But the idea is similar to the marine dancing against lurkers in SC:BW.Quote:

Sure but we don't all have that high APM, and you need a lot of space to keep them that far apart.Quote:

Marines can be MUCH more effective against a lot of units if micro'd correctly, however this takes a lot of practice and can be really frustrating for someone trying to figure it out. I like the idea of retreating your marines and getting some vikings to take care of the colossi personally.
I think it'd be a rare scenario to have 5 marines matched up against a colossus alone. And even then, I'd love to see a video of this match up going in the Terran's favor. That would be some GREAT control.
