Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;23995358]It's a noob strategy.[/QUOTE] When was early rush a "noob" strategy? Early rushes like 6pool are pretty "do or die" for the attacking player. If you can defend against the early rush (which is not that difficult, especially if you have decent micro), the other player is basically at your mercy because you'll have a huge economic advantage. [editline]03:04PM[/editline] [QUOTE=waylander;23995660]do i have to play the placement matches first? or would any game i played with you count as my placement games?[/QUOTE] Only matchmaking games count against your placement games and league games.

Anybody got any good zerg strats? I can't do anything besides 6pool. Also preferably a super fast roach build.

If roaches could attack air units that would be nice.

Found one. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBQApjw2RT0[/media]

Me and my team win at 4vs4 :D

No you lie, lies everywhere, LIES WITH THE STRENGTH OF A THOUSAND SUNS.

[QUOTE=DigiTech;23997022]They did at the start of beta, you missed it dawg. ;o [editline]06:53PM[/editline] Yes.[/QUOTE] we did horribly

The problem I think is that with 4 people it's so complex you can't really have one strategy that takes every possibility into account. EXCEPT MASS 6 POOL

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23997190]The problem I think is that with 4 people it's so complex you can't really have one strategy that takes every possibility into account. EXCEPT MASS 6 POOL[/QUOTE] Another problem, if 4 people rush one person unless your team is quick to react, your fucked.

4v4 is cheese central

Void rays how to counter!?

Marines or hydras or stalkers

I lost to this guy because he spammed voids and apparently they rape my corrupters and mutas.

Only in very large numbers. Gotta keep em scouted.

Johnny, counter to colossus stalker combo, go!

Oh wait, I'm not Johnny

[QUOTE=onox37;23997674]Johnny, counter to colossus stalker combo, go![/QUOTE] As what?

[QUOTE=onox37;23997674]Johnny, counter to colossus stalker combo, go![/QUOTE] Ultralisk. Or ling/infestor. (Neural parasite the colossi) You could use a combo of counters but it's hard to tell often how they're going to work out. Just comes down to luck. Or just have more stuff than him or whatever. Ultralisk is probably best.

Just in case anyone missed it... [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=982391]Tourny time![/url]

If you want to learn counters, play Battlecraft. It's a custom game. It's all about countering. Some of the units are unrelated to their regular game counterparts like the infestors, who function as artillery in Battlecraft, but it will teach you how all the basic unit counters work.

[highlight]PWNAGE, GREATNESS, AND SUNS. THESE WERE THE INGREDIENTS CHOSEN TO MAKE THE PERFECT 4V4 TEAM. BUT PROFESSOR UTONIUM ACCIDENTALLY ADDED AN EXTRA INGREDIENT TO THE CONCOCTION, CHEMICAL AWESOME. THUS THE DOOM TEAM WAS BORN! USING THEIR ULTRA-SUPER-POWERS, JOHNNYMO1, DIGITECH, MELONMONKEY, AND RACCOON, HAVE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO FIGHTING CRIME AND THE FORCES! OF! EVIL![/highlight] [url=http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/replays.php?game=33&show=download&id=137993][img]http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-137993.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/replays.php?game=33&show=download&id=137995][img]http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-137995.jpg[/img][/url] [editline]08:36PM[/editline] Only four players supported my ass.

until someone figures out that all you have to do to win is spawn the weird zealots from the 4th unit production building that or mass mules. battlecraft is so unbalanced it's dumb. have they even fixed the gas shit yet?

[QUOTE=Xera;23998024]until someone figures out that all you have to do to win is spawn the weird zealots from the 4th unit production building that or mass mules.[/QUOTE] Nah not really [QUOTE=Xera;23998024]battlecraft is so unbalanced it's dumb. have they even fixed the gas shit yet?[/QUOTE] What about the gas

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23998038]Nah not really What about the gas[/QUOTE] you get 1 gas every 5 days meaning you can pretty much never get a unit that requires gas and yes, the zealots from the 4th production building will win you the game every time.

[QUOTE=Xera;23998099]and yes, the zealots from the 4th production building will win you the game every time.[/QUOTE] Elite ultras slaughter them. Regular might too. [editline]08:43PM[/editline] Air + mules, there are plenty of ways to counter them.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23998135]Elite ultras slaughter them. Regular might too. [editline]08:43PM[/editline] Air + mules, there are plenty of ways to counter them.[/QUOTE] the latest version that "fixes" the problem by removing gas cost is still horribly balanced and it crashes after 3 minutes of play.
