We see Savior playing Terran here, about the 3 minute mark is when we see the new Terran dropship unleashing a deadly 2 Jackal, 1 Tank drop on another T opponent.
Part 2
This is the 2nd half, looks like a lot of the previous new Terran footage came from this same game. Lot of Thor & BC action...
Judging form these videos the Terran Heavy Metal strategy vs Protoss seems to be much improved. Since before Protoss would counter with diversion tactics and send in Zealots to engage the tanks, with Jackals doing inline splash damage now that hurts the Protoss counter with Zeals.
However this is of course of the moment analysis since Jackal damage like most other units is subject to change. Without Goliaths the Terrans will have to resort to Vikings or Thors for their anti-air Heavy Metal.

Those Jackals look extremely annoying. They're going to be a mean skirmish unit.

Oh yeah, they have the potential to be a real pain in the arse...
Bring in the rines or tanks, then sweep in the back with some Jackals and go after the mineral line

Yeah. I think Terran is going to be the first class I pick up and play when SC2 comes out. These guys are exactly what I was looking for in an SCV/PROBE/DRONE killer.

As a Toss player(meaning Protoss is whom I'm going to use first) I'm still a bid saddened that they took the mobility away from the Phase cannons and gave it to the Zerg Sunkens. However I'm sure I can still come up with a new cheese tactic

Yeah, I don't see toss going downhill that much. I think Terran and Zerg got more "flashy" units per-se, but I think the toss have a strength and consistency that gives them a strong advantage. First mistake I ever made in SC was doubting that the toss were viable. I'll never do THAT again heh.

"doubting that the toss were viable" because of their emphasis on powerful units, but fewer in number?
Yeah Protoss were the weakest during the first year of StarCraft, remember when Cannons did Explosive damage? 10 dmg to Marines = 4 hits to kill one 5 with +1 armor... When Cannons where fixed to normal dmg that made 20 dmg to Marines 2/3 hits to kill 1.
To me currently Terrans seem to have stayed the truest to their roots, they seem all around strong. The Protoss of course are the most 'done' race which is why they have an advantage now during alpha test matches. But I think once the Zerg is more close to being done, they are going to get even more scary.

Yeah, I personally always thought their emphasis on expensive and typically harder to micro units was a real disadvantage against terran/zerg. It required a more aggressive play style to capture a lot of expo's very early in order to sustain a reasonable army. Not that this is a bad thing.
I personally think Zerg looks scary as hell with its ability to close you in with the new creep, but I don't see it being a huge danger to the toss. More so to the Terran in my opinion.

Good videos, though to be honest, "Dropship in Action" might have been a more appropriate title, as while there was a lot of dropping, there wasn't much (any) medivac-ing. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I had been hoping for some non-cheese TvT infantry war (yeah, probably never going to happen, especially after seeing the Jackals).
