    This new unit is interesting, as it functions very similiarly to the vulture; ie it hovers moves fast and , is shaped like a vulture, is powerful against small infantry etc. The powerup feature where it upgrade based on the amount of "souls claimed" is an interesting idea, and I wonder if other Protoss units, or maybe Zerg units (think of a morbid new Zerg monster that consumes, or assimilates enemy corpses or wreckage into is form?) will use a simple level up ability.

    not at all like a vulture. it has a fixed attack, that's why it's so strong and effective. vultures toss grenades. it's kinda like the warp ray but ground and a different kind of attack. until they release this info fo real on starcraft2.com, we can't be so certain

    Your right about the uniqueness of the attack, but it really is like the Protoss version of a vulture. Think of its mobility, its shape and what it counters. Simply the way they move together look slike a group of vultures.

    soul hunters are garbage, hover boards and soul hunting is NOT starcraft

    soul hunting would be an undead type thing, and hoverboards is more of.. a super hero type thing.

    lame lame lame lame lame.

    i think blizzard got together and said "lets make sc2 suck and disappoint millions of loyal fans"

    Cool it dude. And the the super fast floating hover bike that slowly shoots grenades isn't lame?

    It can fit into the storyline. With the Protoss's psionic power weakened, maybe they have resorted to taking their enemies latent psionic energy in order to survive? Please don't leap to assumptions, that are far far off base.

    i got -5 power back then.

    yes, i think the model for the soul hunter is lame. but i hope they modify it or improvise it so that it would'nt look like the one in the demo when starcraft 2 comes out.

    its looks like the silver surfer. speaking of the surfer, its time to go the cinema and watch fantastic four rise of the silver surfer.

    The Soul Hunters I am assuming will be vulnerable to vehicles and air units that do ground splash, as well as vehicles that damage small-medium sized units.

    Assuming early game, the Soul Hunters + Zealots will be a very powerful combination early game against infantry and basic mech units.

    Well, thats if hunters come out early. I think they'll come out early-middle, since Toss seems to have a lot of mid-game level units(immortals, stalkers, phoenixes[phoenii?], templars, etc). But we still dont know.

    It seems Toss has been modified to be a lot quicker now, with stalkers blinking, phoenix moving fast, and these vulture-like hunters making up a very formidable strafing and quick assault force.

    It all started when I was a child. I was very fat and mean, and couldn't read good. I had bad manners and would fart very loudly in the presence of adults. I was scolded, reprimanded to no avail. Now here I am, homeless, filthy, reeking of poo, typing to you out of my cardboard box on a street corner. Heed my cautionary tale, do not be dumb and fat and stinky and poor like me.
