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

Made a terran player nuke his own base. I love playing zerg. :shobon:

[QUOTE=Katamari_Jr;24017202]When raiding a base, and after taking out the enemy welcoming party, should you head for the workers or take out the military buildings first?[/QUOTE] Definitely the workers.

I can't work out the best strategy for starting out as a Terran, I've used the 1/1/1 build quite a few times and won but recently I've been doing the 1 rax - fast expand and it can go either way. I'm vulnerable early on but once i get a few more barracks up the troops flood out... Is one particularly effective against a certain race? I really don't want to pick a strategy at random each match

I just got SC2 a week ago and this is my first RTS, I've been teaching myself to play by watching replays and reading. Here's a replay of me playing Protoss (my preferred race) against a Terran. I do win but I get very sloppy towards the end. Can you guys give me some tips? [url]http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/55402-1v1-terran-protoss-kulas-ravine[/url]

Don't get sloppy :P I didn't see anything majorly wrong except you wasted 10 seconds not mining at the start. Other than that it wasn't too bad. I especially like how you hotkey your nexus and factories for optimal micro.

In 4v4s if you're playing zerg and you fast expand, you have such a unit advantage over your enemies. Mass hydras is win.

Quoting that image was simply not necessary.

So I'm really terribad at playing terran mid to late game, If I usually can't win early I end up sucking. Any tips?

tech up

[QUOTE=reedbo;24020919]So I'm really terribad at playing terran mid to late game, If I usually can't win early I end up sucking. Any tips?[/QUOTE] MMM ball along with viking support/banshee support is awesome.

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;24021132]MMM ball along with viking support/banshee support is awesome.[/QUOTE] Viking support. Banshee support isn't a good idea with an MMM ball. You can have the MMM deal with ground units while the vikings deal with air units.

Does MMM stand for Med/Marines/Marauders?

[QUOTE=Stripez;24021254]Does MMM stand for Med/Marines/Marauders?[/QUOTE] Yes, it's an extremely effective tactic if you remember to have stim packs

[QUOTE=Stripez;24021254]Does MMM stand for Med/Marines/Marauders?[/QUOTE] Yes. Its a good strategy along with vikings, marauders are great ground pounders, combined with the marines who hit air and a medivac you can keep them hopped up on stims. Vikings are great support incase the marines cannot handle the enemy air units and are great for expansion harassment.

I love the single player missions of this game

[QUOTE=Supersheepie;24021364]I love the single player missions of this game[/QUOTE] I hate that they added those [sp] Protoss missions[/sp] though, not because they're bad but now it makes the wait for legacy of the void unbearable

To anyone wanting a counter to MMM balls, splash damage is a killer, when your opponent stims them thats when they're at their weakest. Focus on the medivacs than go for the marauders.

Ultralisks and banelings :smug:

If you cannon rush I hate you so much [url]http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/55457-1v1-protoss-zerg-desert-oasis#rd:upgrades[/url]

Just watched it, yeah. Sorry about that, I assumed when you bitched about cannon rushes you meant you lost.

[QUOTE=mercurius;24020883]Quoting that image was simply not necessary.[/QUOTE] it's not that big your post was more unnecessary than mine.

:colbert:

I don't understand what happened..I was #3 in bronze in 1v1 and now I seem to be losing EVERY SINGLE GAME no matter what I do. I need help. I play terran.
