Season 6: C.C. (Code Geass) vs The Ultralisk (Starcraft)

 

Greetings and Welcome to another edition of my "Who Would Win" Series and it is going to be a battle of two Powerful Combatants with "Immortality"

C.C., the Immortal Witch from Code Geass vs The Ultralisk, The Ultimate Battle Tank of the Zerg Swarm in Starcraft.

This blog is going to be quite different compared to previous entries in that there are very specific factors that determine the outcome of this "Timeless" match up

C.C.'s info is extremely easy to pick up since Code Geass has One Canonical Story Arc. While there is an "Alternate" Timeline version of the Story, I've decided to stick with the Canon Arc since its the more popular and more reliable source of information for C.C.

As for the Ultralisk, it's information is without a doubt, the easiest to analyze for my Who Would Win Series yet. Reason being is because Starcraft has a very straight forward approach to it's story and handling of it's Feats and Armies. For this blog however, The Ultralisk is on it's own which also means

The Rules of C.C. vs The Ultralisk

It is important to note that the match up is indeed pitting two characters that fought in major battles with "Armies" at their side. However, the rule dictates that in a 1v1 scenario, no outside help will be used which means

 

• No Lelouch/Kerrigan and the Black Knights/Zerg Comrades

• Standard Arsenal can be used

• Individual Feats  (Though scaling is acceptable if you consider the power difference between Character A and Character B in the same universe. E.g. Ultralisk Power vs Hydralisk Power, C.C.'s Knightmare Frame vs Kallen's Knightmare Frame etc)    

 

So that means, 1v1, A Nice, Clean, Adorable (Seriously, this match up is actually adorable XD!!!) and a fun battle :D!!!

 

 

 

 

Let's begin and see who will finally end the timeless battle of epic proportions!!!!

 

 

 

 

C.C. (Spoiler Free)    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C.C. (Usually pronounced as C Two) is one of the central characters of Code Geass

 

C.C. has one of the most fascinating stories in fiction. You see, C.C. had a tragic backstory.

 

C.C. was an orphaned Girl who was given the Power of "Geass" by a Nun. With her newfound power, C.C. used her Geass to make people love her immediately, since, back then, she had quite a social distancing issue. This eventually went so well for C.C., it ended up becoming boring to her overtime. Thus, C.C. asked Love from the Nun. 

 

Things get very interesting when C.C.'s Geass Power Grew and it was revealed that C.C. was toyed by the Nun in order for her Immortality to be removed. This resulted in torture until C.C. had to accept the Nun's Code. Eventually, C.C. gained Immortality which resulted in C.C. experiencing a "Shock Sequence", which shows the memories of her past which included her own Death that spanned for Centuries.

 

She claims to have entered into magical Geass contracts with hundreds of people over her lifetime, in futile attempts to lose her immortality. 

 

On one faithful day, C.C. was eventually captured and was placed inside a Capsule, which was then discovered by Lelouch, who would end up becoming C.C.'s new Client. This also began the main story arc for Code Geass. Rebellion, Patriotism, Family, Love.

 

This event triggered an all out war between Japan and The Britannian Empire. C.C. became a major player in this conflict and eventually, succeeded thanks to Lelouch's Ultimate Plan for bringing World Peace became a reality :D!!!

 

 

That is a very basic but generalized background for C.C. Now, let's see what Anime's Adorable Sexy Butt is capable of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Code of Immortality

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most important factor to consider for C.C. is that she is an Immortal Witch. Possessing one of the most powerful abilities in fiction, C.C. has the distinction of being nigh impossible to kill permanently. 

You see, C.C. may not have impressive Physical Stats, though it's her Immortality that completely tips the scales that actually put her well above pretty much everyone in Code Geass. 

The key factors for C.C.'s Code of Immortality are

• Immortality (Duh XD!!!)  

• Cannot Age

• Cannot be killed by conventional Means

• Even if C.C. is killed, she can reincarnate (Self Resurrection) after a period passes. Though it is likely she can come back from the Dead at will. No actual limit is specified

 

 

 

C.C.'s Feats involving her Abilities and Durability

 

We seen C.C.'s Key Factors for her Immortality. Now, let's look at the feats she has demonstrated to prove how impressive she is.

 

  

 

• Shot in the forehead but ended up coming back to life the next day

• Was inside an Iron Maiden

• Was Beheaded........ She came back!!!!!

• Burnt to the Stake, since she is branded as a "Witch"

• Crushed by Water Pressure

• Was shot multiple times by Mao. This is impressive considering that the amount of bullets that C.C. took would actually kill a Human being, yet C.C. had the willpower to survive the ordeal. 

 

 

The Power of Geass Control

C.C. has the ability to Grant anyone she wishes with the Power of Geass. This can also be used on other living beings such as animals. Thus, C.C. can, in a sense, grant powers to a "Simple Man/Woman". Well, looks like My Hero Academia might want C.C. after all XD!!!!!

It is important to note that C.C. only grants Geass control to those who accept her contract. Usually for the benefit for C.C.'s Goals and her Client's. While the Geass Powers are varied, it is usually standard with Mind Affecting Techniques such as Lelouch's Power of Absolute Obedience. 

Telepathy

 

C.C. can use Telepathy to communicate with others through their mind. Demonstrated with her time with Marianne Vi Britannia. 

 

 

 

 

Previous Geass Power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C.C. Originally had the Power to "Make people love her".........

 

 

(Walks out and then starts to stare into the distance for fifteen minutes)

 

 

Ok, I am back. Well, Yeah, C.C. use to have the Power of Love at her side. Though, as C.C. grew bored of it's Power, it eventually reached unstable levels and eventually, C.C. could not control it no more. So, she ended up losing this power in favor of her Immortality, which resulted in turning the Nun that granted her Geass Power into a Mortal, while C.C. turned Immortal..... A Trade Off that lasts a "Lifetime"......... XD!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knightmare Frame  

 

 

 

Akatsuki Command Model Zikisan (Pink)

 

We know about C.C.'s Immortality and Abilities. But is she a fighter? Yes she is!!!!

C.C. is also a Knightmare Pilot, and is one of the more tactical characters of Code Geass. Her Knightmare Frames (Yes, C.C. has more than One Knightmare Frame) are her main asset for Combat. 

 

 

And, since I love to put combatants at their absolute best, C.C. is going to have the Knightmare Frames for this match up.

Here are the Knightmare Frames that C.C. has used throughout Code Geass

 

 

 

 

Akatsuki Command Model Zikisan

 

 

 

The Akatsuki Command Model Zikisan is a Knightmare Frame with alot of versatility and Mobility.

 

 

Here are the Armaments used by the Akatsuki

 

 

 

 

 

Revolving Blade Sword

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Revolving Blade Sword is basically a Chainsword. With Rotating Teeth, it is also coated with Super heated Energy that cuts through most Knightmare's like butter.

However, it is worth noting that the Blade is ineffective against Knightmare's with Stronger Armor and while effective, would not be worth the risk of breaking the Blade's Teeth, which would be quite disastrous. Still, it is efficient with it's capabilities   

Slash Harkens

Slash Harkens (Used by the Guren Mark 2)

The Slash Harkens are one of the most versatile assets with any Knightmare Frame. Not necessarily as Deadly as the Radiant Tech Weapons, the Slash Harkens do have an edge in that they can boost the mobility of the Knightmare by grappling across large distances or even pull enemies towards them. It's like what Scorpion does in Mortal Kombat... "GET OVER HERE!!!" 

Overall, they are ideal for both Combat and Travel :D!!!! 

Radiant Wave Missiles

 

 

 

Radiant Wave Missiles possess great firepower. Highly effective against any Armored Knightmare Frame, they are also ideal for great splash damage, which can even destroy a Battalion of Soldiers and Artillery at once.

 

 

 

 

 

Other Armaments

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of Course there are other weapon types used by the Akatsuki. They include:

 

 

 

• Shoulder Mounted Machine Guns.

• Right Arm Mounted Bazooka

• 12-Tube Missile Launcher.   

 

 

 

Utility Capabilities

 

Aside from Weaponry, the Akatsuki is also equipped with great utility. This includes:

 

• An Optional Air Glide System that allows it fly across battlefields and great distances. Highly effective for long range engagements

• Cockpit Ejection System that is mainly used for the pilot to escape from self Destruction or even Death.

• Radiant Wave Shielding for Greater Durability and Added Protection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lancelot Frontier   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the Akatsuki is indeed impressive, the Lancelot Frontier actually is C.C.'s Main Knightmare Frame towards the end of Code Geass. Fun Fact, this was created using salvaged parts of Suzaku's Lancelot.

 

Not exactly as powerful as The Original Lancelot, especially after it received multiple upgrades, the Lancelot Frontier is still superior to most Knightmare Frames.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weapons and Utility

 

 

Prepare for Battle!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well of course, this Knightmare Frame is armed with an assortment of Weapons and Utility. Here is a Rundown

 

 

 

• Two Maser Swords for Melee Combat. Capable of Slicing Knightmares like butter. Arguably more effective than the Revolving Blade Sword in terms of cutting power

• Missile Launcher. But the real trick here is that this Missile Launcher is in the shape of a Shield. Meaning. it is a Ranged Weapon that can also be ideal for defense....... That sounds Amazing :D!!!!

• Factsphere Sensor System that transmits thermographic  images and Data to the Pilot. This is especially useful for exploiting weaknesses against Armored targets. 

• Landspinner Propulsion System that can increase Ground Mobility substantially. It is also used to climb between two walls at once. The propulsion system is generally a set of wheels located in the back of a Knightmare Frame's Feet

• A Float System. Though this is actually now outclassed by the later Air Glide System (Mentioned Before)     

Shinkiro

 

 

The Shinkiro

 

While the Shinkiro is actually piloted by both Lelouch and C.C. at once, it is actually functional with just one Pilot. Generally speaking, the capabilities of the Shinkiro are still used just as effectively even when C.C. is the only Pilot inside the Cockpit.

Both Lelouch and C.C. did use a previous Knightmare together known as the Gawain, but the Shinkiro is more advanced and possesses greater firepower, so I decided to use the Shinkiro, for "Maximum Potential Purposes"

 

 

The Shinkiro possess a well balanced level of power. It has Radiant Shielding, Hadron Cannons and can use a Chest beam that literally imitates Iron Man's Chest Beam :D!!! What a Badass. However, what is even more coincidental, it uses it's Wrist Mounted Cannons to fire Beam attacks.... Well, not exactly Palm Repulsor Blasts but close enough XD!!!!!

 

 

I AM......... ZERO MAN!!!!!!

 

It is worth noting, the Shinkiro is superior to all of C.C.'s previous Knightmare Frames by a wide margin. It has greater defenses and superior Mobility and, well, once more, has a well balanced level of Power and Versatility. It is pretty much the Ultimate Knightmare Frame that C.C. has used.

General Stats for the Knightmare Frames

 

The Knightmare Frames are impressive in terms of Weapons and Utility, but what about Stats? Well, funny enough, the Knightmare Frames fluctuate with each other. But, in the general scheme of things. Here is a rundown for Strength, Speed and Durability

 

 

Strength     

 

• Can break apart other Knightmare's and Armored Artillery

• Broke through multiple buildings by simply running towards them without any form of effort    

 

 

Speed

 

• The Knightmare Frame's can scale to each other with Speed. Most of which can dodge point blank laser fire and Supersonic Attacks

• Comparable in terms of Flight Speed with Suzaku's Lancelot. The Lancelot has traveled from Area 11 to Kamine Island in a time span of a couple of minutes. While it wasn't a short time span, the fact that Kamine Island is over 300kms away from Area 11, which is Mainland Japan, meant that Suzaku traveled at very high speeds anyway. 

• Outpaced a blast from a "Fleija" Strike. A super powerful weapon of mass destruction that is capable of decimating cities and parts of a country. 

• Can use it's Landspinner Propulsion System to travel faster than racing cars and high speed trains. This puts the Ground Speed of the Knightmare Frames to super sonic speeds

• Able to avoid capture and even assassination from enemies. As said before, Knightmare Frames can travel at Supersonic Speeds.
  

 

 

 

 

Durability       

 

• Can reasonably scale to other Knightmare Frames in the series. Most of them can take multiple Missiles and Cannon Fire and keep going.

• Survived an encounter with the Guren Mark 2. But this time, it was Destroyed. This perfectly sets the Limit of the Lancelot Frontier's Durability. Ahhhh, you thought I was gonna mention the Shinkiro? Nope XD!!!

• The Shinkiro has survived multiple blasts without serious damage. These blasts are powerful enough to decimate armies in a matter of moments.

Skills

 

 

C.C. dresses up as Zero for Decoy Tactics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C.C. is by all accounts, one of the most intelligent characters in Code Geass. It is also worth noting that C.C.'s skill as a Knightmare Pilot is quite impressive, considering she is on equal terms with the likes of Kallen, Suzaku, Todoh and Jeremiah, all of which are efficient Knightmare Pilots.

 

Combat Wise, C.C. is also proficient in Hand to Hand combat. She is also skilled with Handguns, which is something of note :D!!!! But of course, C.C. is one of Lelouch's Best use of Decoy Tactics because she has a similar frame and build as Lelouch, even gone as far as to actually mimic his actions while wearing "Zero's Helmet". Ahhhh, Lelouch is Zero after all? What a surprise (It's not actually a massive spoiler, do not panic XD!!!)  

 

 

 

 

Feats for C.C.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While being one of the main characters of Code Geass, C.C.'s resume isn't as noteworthy in terms of quantities. However, her significance to the Story is legendary. So, here are the noteworthy feats for the Sexy Butt

 

 

 

 

• Has officially, and Cleanly, became a living advertisement for Pizza Hut thanks to her lovely romance with Cheese Kun, Pizza Hut's own Mascot

 

 

The Ultimate Romance since Shirley and The Cookie Monster that is not even logical XD!!!

•  Rescued Lelouch from Capture and Even Death Multiple Times

• Participated in the war between The Black Knights and the Britannian Empire with tactical victories.

• Is the single most loyal companion to Lelouch til the end of the Story. That shows limitless dedication :D!!!!

• Is one of the most skilled Knightmare Pilots

• That Butt. Woooh :D!!! I think C.C. would give many Waifu's a run for their money in terms of "Best Butt in fiction" XD!!!!

• Has that adorable face. I mean. Look at this!!!

 

 

 

 

A Hand Raised Bird XD!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•  Helped Lelouch achieve his Dream for World Peace :D!!!
  

•  Voiced by Yukana (Japanese) and Kate Higgins (English)
  

•  Code Geass is actually an amazing piece of Storytelling and characters. C.C. in particular is one of the strongest points of the series :D!!! Amazing character

Weaknesses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While it is true C.C. is Immortal and virtually unkillable, there are many weaknesses for the Immortal Witch.

 

It is worth noting that C.C. has the capabilities of a human being. Infact, if not for her Immortality, C.C. most likely would not be impressive to begin with. She has even died multiple times, only to come back but it is worth noting that C.C. has no answer to the likes of being erased from existence, powerful Magic that can take you to separate dimensions and even transmutation. 

And, while C.C. is a skilled Knightmare Pilot, here is the real kick to their weaknesses, they run on a Power Supply that, no matter how durable they are, if the enemy can somehow damage that Power Supply, the Knightmare Frame's will shut down, leaving the Pilot Defenseless or being forced to eject using the Ejection System. Which brings another issue

Should the Ejection System be used, the Pilot actually risks a double edged sword such as a crashed landing that can cause severe injury, even death. So really, if your Knightmare Frame is destroyed, chances are, you are screwed big time.

Finally, C.C.'s Presence alone, even touching her, may cause Shock Images that trigger memories of her past, but, those who resist Mind Affecting abilities will not be affected at all. In fact, they would simply shrug it off like it was nothing else.

 

 

However, C.C. is still one of fiction's most complex and adorable characters :D!!! There is alot more for her Story but that would go into Spoiler Territory. Overall, C.C. is Smart, Adorable and an amazing addition to the Code Geass Story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Ultralisk 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Koprulu Sector, the Galaxy is a battlefield of epic proportions. The Three Main Powers of the Sector were the Resilient Terrans, the highly advanced Protoss and of course, The Nightmarish Zerg Swarm.

 

 

The Zerg have a rich history. Long story short, they were created by the Xel'Naga, the creators of life in the Koprulu Sector. The Zerg were created to become the "Purity of Essence" while the Protoss are the "Purity of Form" (Oh yeah the Terrans are not that special XD!!). 

 

 

The Zerg in particular managed to produce some of the most terrifying and coolest warriors in fiction. One of them is the Zerg's most prolific battle tank known as "The Ultralisk"

 

 

Born with one goal: To serve the Swarm and let no one survive. 

 

 

That is actually a very simple background for the Ultralisk. Here is the Rundown of the Ultralisk's Capabilities

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How the Ultralisk is created.

 

Ultralisk Cavern

 

 

 

The most straightforward process to creating the Ultralisk is simple. All you need is to upgrade the Zerg Hatchery into a Lair after you create a Spawning Pool. Later, after you create a Queen's Nest, you can upgrade the Lair into a Hive, and, once the Hive is finally created, you can build an Ultralisk Cavern. And of course, you need Larva to mutate into an Ultralisk

 

 

Super Adorable Larva :D!!!

 

 

The Cavern itself actually contains multiple upgrades for the Ultralisk which will come up shortly. But the main reason why this is important is because the Cavern is essential to create Ultralisk's. Because, if destroyed, you cannot create anymore Ultralisks unless you rebuild the Cavern.

 

 

That's how you create an Ultralisk. Now. Let's see what Starcraft's coolest and most intimidating Warrior can do.

Kaiser Blades

 

 

 

 

An Ultralisk is armed with four Kaiser Blades protruding from it's back, which are scything tusks of Death that can shred through armies of Terrans, Protoss and Zerg like butter. They originally targeted only one enemy at a time but eventually, they now possess an area of effect damage output and it is the biggest reason why the Ultralisk is effective for Frontline Combat.

Physical Stats

 

 

 

As the Zerg's standard Battle Tank, The Ultralisk is by far, one of the most powerful Warriors of the Swarm. And for Good reason, the Ultralisk is classed as the pinnacle of the Swarm's Army. Though it may not be as versatile as the Brutalisk, it does have notable advantages that I will get into later on that makes them more efficient in combat.

 

 

For now, let's look at the Ultralisk's amazing Physical Stats

 

 

 

Strength    

 

 

• Can use it's Kaiser Blades and its sheer size and weight to decimate and crush armies of Terrans, Protoss and other Zerg. 

• In the Heart of the Swarm Intro, An Ultralisk flicked a Viking away with just one swipe of it's Kaiser Blade. This means it is capable of generating over 40 tons worth of force with no effort. 

• Able to destroy Buildings in a matter of seconds. 

• Comparable in Strength to the likes of Kerrigan's Claws, which can kill Armored targets with One to four Strikes. For reference, the enemies that can endure these attacks can survive the Siege Tank's Crucio Shock Cannon/Arclite Cannon, which can cause massive amounts of splash damage that is comparable to a 25 TNT Blast. This is not an upgraded Blast mind you. Fully Upgraded, the Cannons can do +40 more "Direct" Damage to the intended Target. That means it can do well over 80% more Damage than the regular blast. 

• Slice through Protoss Armor, which is the most advanced form of Armor in Starcraft. This is the same type of Armor that can withstand multiple levels of punishment, one of which include Nukes. That's right, the Ultralisk can actually damage armor that withstood Nuke attacks!!!

 

 

Speed     

 

• Without the upgrade, The Ultralisk can actually run faster than a Stimpacked Marine, Firebat and Marauder. 

• With the Anabolic Synthesis Upgrade, The Ultralisk becomes a Speeding Train..... That's right, it goes so fast it is like having a Speeding Truck crash against you. That's how scary this badass behemoth becomes!!!!!

• Upgraded, it can surpass 90% of Ground Unit Speeds, one noteworthy Unit is a Protoss Zealot, which when upgraded, has it's Movement Speed drastically increased. The Ultralisk actually surpasses the Zealot's Speed, which can reach Super Sonic Speeds.

• Can travel across two sides of a Map in around 30 seconds. This is considering debris, terrain and other obstacles in it's way. This is when the Ultralisk is Upgraded. A Great feat since the Maps themselves can range to over 6 kms in Length.

Durability (The Fun Begins!!!)                 

• Highly resistant to Standard Firepower. Though it is not immune, and can be damaged, Ultralisks are extremely difficult to kill when using conventional weapons.
  

• The Ultralisk can withstand a Battlecruiser's Yamato Cannon Blast. For reference, the Yamato Cannon is powerful enough to destroy buildings with a few hits. It can even destroy Terran Thor's and Protoss Colossi, which can endure more punishment than most units in Starcraft. The Ultralisk however has the edge in that it can survive more Yamato Cannon Blasts due to it's Carapace Upgrade. That is legendary, since again, this Blast is also able to destroy other Powerful Units that would take quite a beating.

• Is more durable than Infested Kerrigan, at least from Starcraft 1 And Brood War. At that point, Kerrigan can withstand multiple Arclite  Shock Cannon Blasts. As mentioned before, but the fact that Kerrigan can survive these blasts is great since she has comparable Armor to the Ultralisk, without the Carapace Upgrade that is.

 

• Can survive Reaver Scarab Bombs. Which can destroy multiple battalions with a single blast. Infact, these Bombs are even more powerful than a Siege Tank's Arclite/Crucio Shock Cannon blast. The Damage output of these Bombs are almost 70% greater, meaning, The Ultralisk survived Blasts that can destroy entire bases with a couple of Scarab Bombs. That's legendary. Oh, this is without the Armor Upgrade. Fully Upgraded, the blasts actually require at least two more to finish off an Ultralisk. That is around 4-5 blasts worth of Scarab bombs.

• Can survive a Psionic Storm, which, well, is a telepathically controlled storm that can annihilate Armies

• Survived Nukes.......... Ok, we know how badass the Ultralisk is at this point XD!!!
  

   

 

 

 

Upgrades/Mutation and Abilities

 

 

The Ultralisk may have amazing Stats, but it's with Mutations, Upgrades and Abilities that truly give it a terrifying level of power.

First, let's look at the Standard Zerg Upgrades for the Ultralisk

 

 

 

Melee Attacks Upgrade 

 

 

 

 

 

Very simple. Each Level of Upgrade Improves the Ultralisk's Attacks by 10%. An Evolution Pit and the Zerg's Specific Level for the Hatchery/Lair/Hive are required for Level's 1, 2 and 3 Respectively

 

 

 

 

Armor/Carapace Upgrade 

 

 

 

 

Identical to the Melee Attack Upgrade. Only this time, it improves on the Armor and Durability of the Ultralisk by, again, 10% per level

 

 

 

Burrow

 

 

 

One of the iconic abilities of the Zerg, Burrow allows the Ultralisk to dig underground and stay hidden from sight, provided there is no detection devices or Detector Class Units such as a Protoss Observer, Zerg Overlord (Traitor!!!! XD!!!), Terran Science Vessel amongst others.

Still, Burrow is ideal for Ambush Tactics and can be a nice way for a time out from combat for Regeneration Purposes

 

 

 

Anabolic Synthesis

 

Anabolic Synthesis Upgrades the Ultralisk's Movement Speed by a colossal 90%. That puts it well above most Ground Unit Speeds in Starcraft by a wide margin. Only Rivaled by the Terran Vulture Bike and the Zergling. Still, this ability literally makes the Ultralisk a "Speeding Battle Tank". That's absolutely terrifying!!!!!

Chitinous Plating

Identical to the Armor/Carapace Upgrade. Chitinous Plating is an exclusive Upgrade for the Ultralisk only. Adding an additional +2 Armor. Which increases Armor by 20%. So, stacked with Level 3 Zerg Armor and the Plating, the Ultralisk ends up having 50% more armor plus its own natural Armor. Reaching a total of 60% defense. That means it is now 1.5x tougher when fully upgraded!!!!! What a badass!!!!

 

 

 

 

Mutations

 

In the Heart of the Swarm Expansion Pack for Starcraft 2. The Ultralisk can choose three Mutations to use in battle. Though it can only use one Mutation, the choice of using them is not permanent, and can be changed after a Mission is finished. Amazing Replay Value :D!!!! Here are the three Main Mutations for the Ultralisk

 

 

Burrow Charge 

 

While the Standard Burrow Upgrade Merely lets the Ultralisk Burrow Down, Burrow  Charge is a more offensive ability. It actually lets the Ultralisk unleash a Charge Attack that can completely bypass Walls, Structures and Tight Groups of Units to then break through the ground and cause so much force, it pushes back and stuns everyone around it for a few seconds. That's right, this ability can give the Ultralisk a few seconds of free Slices against it's Opponents :D!!!!!
 

 

 

 

Tissue Assimilation          

 

 

       

Tissue Assimilation is one of my favorite Mutations for the Ultralisk. It is actually an offensive Ability but a beautiful twist. 

 

You see, each time the Ultralisk Attacks it's enemies, it gradually regains lost health for each attack. Granted it only heals for 40% damage dealt but the fact it is literally a battle tank, this mutation puts it's durability to nearly 200%. It's like another Health Bar's Worth of Health restored :D!!!! Legendary. This is why The Ultralisk has to be my favorite Zerg Unit in all of Starcraft

Monarch Blades

 

 

 

Monarch Blades improve the Splash damage of the Ultralisk's Kaiser Blades by another 50%. The Damage output is equal to it's Striking Power against a Single Foe, only this time, the damage is now evenly distributed across a whole group of enemies. Quite Amazing :D!!! 

 

 

 

Frenzied

 

While The Ultralisk use to be susceptible to Mind Affecting, Stuns, Immobilizing and Slow Effects, it evolved to greater heights and is now immune to all said effects thanks to Frenzied. It no longer can be mind controlled by other characters and telepaths. Very impressive, considering Starcraft has alot of Powerful Telepaths such as Xel'Naga and Protoss Dark Archons for Instance.
 

 

 

 

Which Ultralisk to use?????

 

The Torrasque Strain (Left) And the Noxious Strain (Right)

 

 The Ultralisk can evolve into two different strains. However, each of them have specific abilities that set them apart. The Issue about these Choices is that they cannot be composited into one Ultralisk. So, for the sake of Fairness, I decided to at least list both Strains with their own Special Abilities and Finally choose which version of the Ultralisk will be used for the fight itself.

 

 

 

 

Noxious Strain

 

  

 

 

The Noxious Strain is an evolved form of the Ultralisk that grants more Splash Damage. It is actually very much an offensive upgrade to the Original Ultralisk. Here are the two abilities for the Noxious Strain

 

 

Noxious Cloud: The Ultralisk unleashes a cloud of Acid that deals 5 damage per second on Enemy Ground Units. 

 

 

Toxic Blast: Emits a more powerful blast than Noxious Cloud, only this time it runs on a 10 second cooldown after it's used. This time, the Blast can not only damage Ground Units with 20 Damage, but also Structures as well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Torrasque Strain

 

 

 

 

The Torrasque Strain is by far the most durable and most iconic upgrade of the Ultralisk. It only comes with one Special Ability but, it is by far, one of the most powerful abilities in Starcraft. Well, it's name pretty much describes it.........

 

 

 

 

Reincarnation: So. That's that. This Ability lets the Ultralisk come back to life after it's been killed. Granted it has to be inside a Cocoon for a few seconds but once the process is done, it comes back and is fully healed and ready to kick ass once more........... That's right, Torrasque literally is Four Times more Powerful than a Fully Upgraded Ultralisk!!!!!!!! 

 

 

 

Naww...... A Dead Ultralisk.........

 

 

 

 

What??????!!!!!! It Got Back Up. Oooooooooh!!!!!

 

 

 

 

   

Yeah........ This is overkill!!!!

 

 

However, there is one major disadvantage. The Reincarnation Process is so powerful, it requires a minute's worth of a cooldown in order to be triggered again. Meaning, if the Ultralisk Dies again before the Cooldown expires, it will die "Permanently"   

 

 

Still, it's gonna take a considerable amount of firepower to permanently destroy the Torrasque Strain!!!!

 

 

 

 

So, between the two Strains, I decided that the Torrasque Strain is the version that will be used for the final section of this blog. It simply has far better value and the Reincarnation Ability simply boosts it's Durability to greater heights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Torrasque Wins the Vote.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other Specific Capabilities

 

While the Ultralisk is indeed a Combat efficient Warrior, it has the same traits of  other Zerg Strains. You see, Zerg never die of old age and in fact, they act like snakes and other reptiles that shed their skin in order to increase their biomass and live longer. They are not Immortal in a sense they can still be killed by sufficient firepower, but they simply stay alive without having to worry about Age.

 

Zerg also have a very useful passive ability with Regards to Regeneration. While the Regeneration process isn't exactly rapid healing. It does give the Zerg, and the Ultralisk, greater survivability and, when out of combat, can regain Health after a couple of minutes and continue to battle. This Regeneration is especially useful for Hit and Run Tactics.

 

 

Ultralisks in general are used as frontline battle tanks and are the most durable units of the standard Zerg Army. Because of this, they are able to push the Zerg Forces into densely packed armies and absorb the damage so other Zerg Forces can attack from different directions at once. They are very much crucial for strategic combat and tactical maneuvers. Legendary :D!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Feats for the Ultralisk

 

 

 

 

A Legendary and Brutal Warrior, the Ultralisk is a powerhouse of epic proportions. Here are a list of feats achieved by the Behemoth

 

 

• Officially, and Cleanly, helped the Zerg Swarm defeat the likes of Terrans, Protoss, Renegade Zerg and Xel'Naga.

• Served Kerrigan and later, Zagara, with unquestionable Loyalty

• A single Torrasque Ultralisk was able to overpower a U.E.D (United Earth Directorate) Force that invaded Char and almost destroyed their base, if not for clever tactics and the cerebrates being overwhelmed.

• A Single Ultralisk is enough to at least destroy a battalion of Marines and Marauders on it's own. It can even destroy multiple Siege Tanks by itself, Even when the tanks are on Siege Mode. 

• Toe To Toe wise, The Ultralisk, when fully Upgraded, can destroy a Protoss Archon on it's own. This is not including the Torrasque Strain. Archons in particular are the Protoss' most powerful Ground Unit and are actually designed game play wise to counter Units such as Ultralisks....... But, A Maxed powered Ultralisk can destroy them......... What a badass!!!! Reverse Rules without any fourth wall breaking XD!!!!

• Is my favorite Zerg Unit in all of Starcraft

• Became this........

 

 

 

 

Awwwww :D!!!!!

 Starcraft Cartooned :D!!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

• Starcraft as a Series is a Masterpiece across all categories with Story, Gameplay, Music, Characters and of course, the Terrans, Zerg and Protoss are badass :D!!!! 11/10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weaknesses

 

 

 

Corpses of Ultralisks

 

 

 

Despite the Legendary Status of the Ultralisk, they are by no means truly unstoppable. As mentioned before, sufficient force can kill them. And the Ultralisk is not exactly safe from most attacks such as Psionic Storms and Energy Attacks for instance

 

 

But most importantly, Armor Piercing and Fire Damage are especially effective against an Ultralisk. In fact, an opponent with both of these attack types can actually defeat an Ultralisk in 1v1 combat, if it has the Stats to actually compete with it that is. 

 

 

Also finally, The Ultralisk CANNOT ATTACK AIR UNITS!!!!! That means, anyone who can fly are virtually safe from an Ultralisk, who simply has to just taunt to let them come down XD!!!! Trash talking seems to work I guess, XD!!!

 

 

Still, despite the flaws. The Ultralisk is the "Ultimate" Answer for Zerg Warfare and Frontline Combat!!!!!! It is badass, legendary and one of the coolest aliens in all of fiction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Summary

 

C.C.        

 

 

 

Advantages        

• While not quite as Durable, C.C. does have a huge advantage in terms of actually keeping away from the Ultralisk's Attacks, provided she stays on the air during the fight

• Mobility is absolutely crucial for C.C.'s chances against the Ultralisk

• Against the Torrasque Strain, C.C. actually has the Armor Piercing and "Super Heated" Weaponry to even kill the Torrasque Strain twice. 

• Is by far the more tactical fighter while the Ultralisk relies mainly on instincts and commands

• C.C.'s Immortality can prolong the fight right????
  

 

Disadvantages

 

• Is pretty much laughable in terms of Durability and Strength

• The Ultralisk has killed "Immortals" before....... Uh.... Oh

• Doesn't have the same regeneration capabilities as the Ultralisk, if it has the Tissue Assimilation mutation that is. Still, the Ultralisk can simply burrow down and regenerate again overtime. Provided C.C. cannot detect it with the Factsphere Sensor System. 

• Is a fly compared to the Ultralisk in terms of Size

• Her Shock Imagery and Presence doesn't work on the Ultralisk due to Frenzied, which grants immunity to mind effects
  

 

 

 

 

 

The Ultralisk

 

 

 

 Advantages      

• Outright crushes C.C. and her Knightmare Frames in terms of Strength and Durability

• Has killed "Immortals" before. Is C.C. any different?

• Superior Regeneration. Especially with Tissue Assimilation. Even without it, the fact that it can burrow down and wait to recover gives the Ultralisk a leg up in terms of regeneration. Provided C.C. doesn't use her Factsphere Sensor System

• Is almost 500000000000000 times bigger than C.C. and 100 times bigger than The Shinkiro and Knightmare Frames XD!!!!

• Because of Frenzied, The Ultralisk is immune to C.C.'s Shock Imagery and Presence

Disadvantages

 

 

• Despite the Durability Edge, what can the Ultralisk do when C.C. is attacking from the air? Throw out some insults about George Hancock? XD!!!!!!

• Is not even close in terms of Mobility compared to C.C.'s Knightmare Frames

• Even including the Torrasque Strain, The Ultralisk still cannot counter the massive bombardment of C.C.'s Armor Piercing and "Super Heated" Weaponry that can even kill it twice. Overtaxing the Reincarnation Cooldown, permanently killing the Ultralisk 

• Is not as individually tactical as C.C. 

• C.C.'s Immortality pretty much is a major factor...... But, "Immortals" XD!!!
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Verdict

 

 

C.C. vs The Ultralisk is one of the most unique Match ups for Who Would Win. It is actually very adorable to see C.C. go up against one of the coolest and most badass Aliens in fiction. :D!!!

 

However, personal thoughts aside, in terms of an actual battle. OOOOOOOOOOH boy is this gonna be very interesting.

 

Now, let's look at Stats first up

 

 

In terms of Strength I am certain that the Ultralisk has the advantage in that it simply is much bigger and can generate far greater force than any and all of C.C.'s Knightmare Frames. While The Knightmare Frames are nothing to sneeze at, the fact that the Ultralisk can slice Protoss, Terran and Zerg Armor Like butter pretty much cements that advantage immediately. Added that a single swipe from one Kaiser blade can generate 40 tons worth of force, adds to the advantage even further.

 

C.C.'s Strength feats generally rely on her own weapons over physical force, infact, it is only Large Building Level at Best while the Ultralisk can decimate buildings in a couple of Kaiser Blade Strikes. The Difference is astronomical

 

 

 

 

Durability Wise, this is The Ultralisk's Most important factor of the fight and by far its biggest advantage over C.C. 

 

It simply took far more powerful attacks, can survive almost everything C.C. has at her disposal and come on, it can self regenerate. Added that Tissue Assimilation can pretty much cement the Durability edge, and the fact that it can survive multiple Siege Tank Crucio Shock Cannon/Arclite Shock Cannon blasts, The ultralisk simply is too durable for C.C. to overcome................ Or is it?

 

 

 

So the Ultralisk is powerful and Durable, can it even touch C.C. to actually do anything? Let's see

 

 

 

Speed Wise, C.C. clearly has the edge in spades. Added that the Landspinner Propulsion System is fast enough to go at super sonic speeds and can outpace the Ultralisk's Anabolic Upgrade, C.C.'s Knightmare Frames do have the mobility edge to pretty much dodge all of the Ultralisk's Attacks 

     

 

  

However, despite this, C.C. has one major advantage that clearly puts her well above the Ultralisk in battle..... FLIGHT!!!!

 

With the Air Glide System, C.C.'s Knightmare Frames give her a astronomical edge in terms of mobility and flight. which both of them nullify the Ultralisks's Advantage by a wide margin because, well, how can you do anything to something you cannot catch and even touch? 

 

 

 

Added that C.C. has Long Ranged attacks, most of which are Armor Piercing, gives her another major advantage. Infact, this advantage alone can pretty much kill the Ultralisk and win her the fig-

 

 

 

You were saying?

 

 

 

Oh wait. The Torrasque Strain........ well, things got far more interesting now.

 

 

Because the Torrasque Strain does have Reincarnation, C.C. now has to deal with the Ultralisk one more time, and beat the cooldown period in order to permanently put it down. Here is where it ultimately gets hard to decide.

 

At this point in the fight, C.C. would have used up her Power Supply for her Knightmare Frames. And, if they shut down in the middle of battle, C.C. is going to be hilariously stomped by the torrasque Strain Ultralisk. And, this badass killed "Immortals before"............ 

 

 

 

C.C..... Wins this fight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now you might be asking "Wait, didn't you say the Ultralisk killed Immortals before?" You mean, these guys?

 

 

Hello!!!!!!

 

It's time to dance!!!! May our Dance live Forever!!!

 

 

 

Well, Protoss Immortals are actually fallen warriors who came back to life for one more battle by merging themselves with Robotic technology and Piloting the Immortal Battle Mechs for Combat. They are not actually Immortal, the Protoss named them Immortals because their battle prowess "Lives Forever".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hahahahhahahahahahhahahah I must have tricked you guys at this point.

C.C. simply has the tools she needs to get the job done. Even if C.C. died in battle, she can come back to life at any time and place and, well, the Ultralisk doesn't actually have anything to counter her immortality. It can resist her Shock Imagery and Presence, with Frenzied, but that still isn't major against C.C. who can grab another Knightmare Frame, adapt to the Ultralisk's Capabilities and then destroy it twice, ending it's life before the cooldown finished.

 

Even then, C.C. can use her Ejection systems to trick an enraged Ultralisk, only for C.C. to actually jump into another Knightmare Frame and attack the Ultralisk to finish it off.

What's worse, C.C. and The Ultralisk may fight for eternity. But then you have to factor in that C.C eventually has the intelligence to use advanced weaponry overtime while the Ultralisk can only Evolve to a certain degree. But, Zerg Units have evolved since the dawn of time and stay consistent with capabilities while C.C. can adapt using better technology to surpass the Ultralisk in terms of longevity.

So here's how it goes.

 

 

 

C.C. vs Ultralisk Present Day- Never Ending but C.C. has a Slight Edge due to Long Range and Mobility.

C.C. vs Ultralisk at around 100-1000000000 years into the future- C.C. finally wins via better technology and Strategic Advantage.

So, with her Superior Immortality, Tactics, Unmatched Flight Speed, Long ranged Weaponry, Armor Piercing Weapons, and Sexy Butt, I believe C.C. has what it takes to finally put an end to the Ultralisk's Unstoppable Force.

 

 

 

The Winner is C.C.
