With everyones description of races and seeing a few pro matches...terran has sparked some interest in me.

there is nothing wrong with this.

you don't need special builds for each race, just do same opening with a smooth transition into what you need to do.

got a friend that 18 cc's every game into 2 rax with add on every game.

Sure. In every non PvX matchup, it's ok to lose units constantly, trade units, lose economy etc. In any protoss matchup, losing units is basically game over. Protoss generally needs all game to build up units and tech. If you can kill a Protoss army once, you've generally won the game, or are way ahead. Late game, protoss can throw zealots and stuff away. But in the early-mid game, protoss is extremely fragile. 1 bad blink, forcefield or engagement and it's game over. The units are relatively slow, so positioning is very key. Despite forcefields being very good. If you don't have great forcefields, you're toast. And for a new player, with low apm, a lot of games can be lost very easily. I realize that at higher levels, once protoss have mastered forcefielding etc you can make different arguements. But, forcefields are basically a crutch to the race.

Another thing is that, any early game pressure screws up protoss completely most of the time. Especially if you can kill off sentries or stalkers.

Is zerg really restricted only to those really good at the game already?

The playstyle of zerg interests me, it's just I feel at this stage I would do much better as a toss or terran.

No.  Go with what interests you.  It's a bit more counter-intuitive to learn but the race holds a lot of potential that people have yet to explore.

lol so does terran.. and protoss. nobody utilizes ravens or banshees half as much as they should. you know how terrans snipe observers so their cloaked ghosts can go in and emp? why not for banshees too?

They do this at higher levels if they're doing banshee builds, such as mech ^. Thor raven banshee sir.
