New TvZ video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPUYgJOehjU
We get to see the swarm guardian in action as well as some TvZvZ battles. Another interesting thing I noticed is at :30 an SCV is able to push another SCV out of its way after being trained and ending up at the same waypoint. Will this result in more fluid pathing where your units won't get bottled up as easily?

For those who want to skip ahead to the Swarm Guardians, they appear at the 2:35 mark.

It looks like it's doing a butterfly stroke. Nice.

Muta harras looks AWESOME!
SGs look nice, but I'm yet to see their attacks...
Ultras are truly ultra. Nuff said.
Lings are amazing. I love their insane speed.
Everything looks GREAT!

The nuke attack on the Ultralisks was weird.
Last we heard, nukes do 800 damage and Ultras have 600 hit points. The video is probably from Mar 10th to 14th, and we were told the nuke was upgraded in damage March 24th. (Serious nerdity here.) Unless the nuke was upgraded in that short time period, something was a bit messed up there.

Agreed. While it was cool that the ultras could withstand a NUKE, it's not logical. The nuke should slaughter them alive...

OMG the Swarm Guardian looks AWESOME!!!!!
And I can't believe we were worried it would just be a rehashing of the old flying crab thing. This thing is fucking awesome!
Other things I noticed:
The Ultras were able to push the Hydras out of their way as they went through. Pathing FTW.
The Zerglings no longer have that obnoxious flapping jump thing they used to do. This might be an old change though.
Ultra vs. Nuke= Terran fail
This game is the fucking bees knees.

P.S. Great find! +rep for the OP!

I want a zerg gameplay demo from blizzard already. These videos are too poor in quality to appreciate the new zerg units. Interesting that units will be bumped out of the way from way points though. Air stacking still seems to be possible as well.
I've got ham but i'm not a hamster........................... Thanks to Bliss for this sexy sig!

Either is a newer video and thus nuke damage is probably lowered or older video when nuke damage was similar to the original nuke in sc.

It's all part of Blizzard's marketing, releasing these grainy low-res videos. It gets you hyped up for the HD demos. Imagine playing the actual game in its full glory.

Well, now that I've seen the Swarm Gaurdian in action, I have to say I'm not too fond of how it moves. It wiggles its way through the air like a worm, which just looks rediculous.

Same here. Well, WWI is at the end of this month. Maybe they'll have non-crappy videos there.

How exactly did you expect it was going to move?
This was exactly how I expected it to, and I think the animation looks great and very appropriate.
It looks like a giant caterpillar that undulates through the air.
