I was ignoring anyone who said that the flood could infect everything.

The tyranids can and do adapt to any problems they encounter, that much is solid fact, it's part of their whole mechanics.

Pre-Heart of the Swarm, I would've said the Zerg because of their natural tendencies and abilities being combined that they're being led by the Queen #$%^&* of Gaming, Sarah Kerrigan.

However, since the Zerg no longer being led by Kerrigan I have to go with the Flood, since they can still form another central intelligence and their own natural abilities outpace the others, save for the Tyranids.


The Zerg are basically tyranids on a smaller scale, considering tyranids inspired Zerg, but while Zerg are sector wide, tyranids are intergalactic.

I'm curious to know why you pick flood instead of tyranids when you state that the tyranids outpace the flood. Also, the tyranids have a central intelligence, one that has a high probability of being far more powerful. While I'm at it, the hive mind can't be killed. The tyranids will never need a new one.

EDIT: Kerrigan is still evil in heart of the swarm, she tries to kill raynor and escapes.


She doesn't have control of the Swarm anymore though, and from what we do know (The SCII site and the teaser trailer) its less likely she tried to Raynor and escaped and more likely she takes the chance to escape when Nova and the Dominion Ghosts break into the Hyperion to capture her.

(And if the leaked footage from a couple months ago is true, she really isn't after Raynor at all, just Mengsk)

I'd still side with the Zerg though, because attempting to take on a Kerrigan led-swarm would be like trying to take on a Legion being personally led by Khorne, and even if you manage to defeat that it you'd then have to with The Darkness, which is basically the SCII equivalent of He-Who-Can-Not-Be-Named-Because-Of-Copyright in Chaos.


And I'd say the Flood and Tyranids are at a tie, not one beating the other. It would come down the Gravemind vs. the Hive Mind, or more likely the Hive Mind vs. Whatever-the-hell-is-going-on-in-Cryptum.

Leaked footage? You got a link? I haven't looked at much past the teaser trailer. I can't wait for the new Terran multiplayer units :D

Video

This is a re-post of what was leaked a few months before HoS was announced. Its basically a rough ending movie consisting of the low-poly models, story boards and stand-in music.

There is some debate as to if this is an alternate discarded ending to Wings of Liberty, or possibly the ending of HoS or part of the story itself. All that IS known is that it was important as Blizzard tried very hard to keep the video from getting around after it was released, but they gave up trying after a while.

To be fair, there was a lot of fanboyism on all sides, though the Flood was the most prevalent since there will be more fanboys on a Bungie site. Also, Flood vs Tyranids was actually a good match up.

i has teh signature!!!

The tyranids have proof of what they do(they have eaten COUNTLESS Galaxies)

We do not know the FULL extent of the Floods prowess.

So, unfortunately, Nid's win by default(puts on Mark XII flame suit)

I have no idea what Tyranids are and the Zergs will have no chance against the rest. Flood could put up a fight but the Necromorphs will dominate them completely so will they to the Xeno's. Once they infect a Xeno any Xenomorph they'll be in control.

Face huggers have no chance to even get near any Necromorphs.

At the end of the day, xenomorphs are aliens, and all the above races are pretty much alien. Therefor Xenomorphs would win.

But as this guy has correctly stated about tyranids, there is no technology to learn to use, there is no ship to take over, there is no weapon. All the battle really comes down to is what is more powerful, the hive mind, or the gravemind. Since the gravemind is located in a single galaxy and can be near defeated by 7 rings of death, im going to have to go with the hivemind that controls trillions upon trillions upon trillions of Tyranids, more over. Anything that the flood inhabited, a few huge tyranid ships would just consume. Cant really fight if your being consumed by gastric juices.
