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

Yeah that shit is tedious. Right at the beginning of the beta protoss used to be able to dump a pylon and photon cannon in your base before you could get your first marine/zlot/zling too. That just made me ridiculously mad, though if you're terran you can just lift off and get the fuck out.

Just finished the campaign, enjoyed the last mission, took me a few tries to get it done.

Starcraft 2 is my GOTY since Starcraft 1, honestly. No shit can top this.

[QUOTE=acds;23775352] Yeah the rocks really slow you down, if the other player is good he'll have the defences up by the time you break the rocks. Mutalisk rush instead, just build loads of drones for the first 16 pop, build 2 vespene gas things, 2 drones for each vespene gas, then build a spawning pool, then upgrade to Lair, then (by this time you should have a steady income of minerals) build another hatchery and start gathering the vespene there too (you need a steady flow of vespene for mutalisks), then build a spire (if everything goes well you will be able to morph 8-10 mutalisks as soon as the spire is ready). I have no idea how it works against Terran players, but it worked well against Protoss (if the Protoss makes a Stalker spam just counter with loads of Zerglings while the Mutas devastate his gatherers).[/QUOTE] Hey thanks alot, ill make sure to try that next time i play (Except, with 3 drones per vespine as people have said)

Any tips for playing Protoss? Placement League if it matters.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;23779017]Any tips for playing Protoss? Placement League if it matters.[/QUOTE] Warp gates. The cooldown for all units is the same and they warp in in the same time. If a unit comes in on your base from a direction you don't defend you can have up to as many units as you have warp gates up there on defense to prevent a potentially dangerous attack.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;23779017]Any tips for playing Protoss? Placement League if it matters.[/QUOTE] If I can suggest, Terran was designed for dominating in placement leagues. They can lift off their cc's to chill at the gold fields freely right at the beginning and they can reaper harrass like jerks. But if you do go Protoss just spam stalkers I reckon, and use blink a ton. I've never really played Protoss but also remember to use their special ability at the Nexus to increase your build speed. Like don't EVER stop using it.

[I]Rocks in the way?[/I] Nydus worm. [I]A big defense in the front?[/I] Nydus worm. [I]Air units?[/I] [B]FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK[/B] I always ask my teamate to build anti air but they never listen. :c

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;23778769]Thanks. Actually surprised you had Zeratul over Viking.[/QUOTE] That ain't Zeratul.

I just realized I suck horribly at this game. I've been playing the campaign on normal and doing okay on it, but I just tried a 1v1 versus the comp on medium, and I got horribly raped. If it matters I was using Terran and the comp was Protoss.

Starcraft 2 melted my 9800 GT. I was sad... Until i got me a brand new 460 GTX :dance:

[editline]04:31PM[/editline] I just won the last game, Terran vs Protoss. I would upload the replay if I could find the damn folder. Please note that I suck ass at Starcraft. [editline]04:32PM[/editline] Boohoo I only have 3 hours left on my trial. I never even got to go against an FPer. :frown:

US I suck though, so you'll probably trample over me if you're half-way decent.

[QUOTE=Jund;23780923]US I suck though, so you'll probably trample over me if you're half-way decent.[/QUOTE] Add darkrei9n 720.

I can't put in numbers

720 is my character code.

The fuck why did they put so much effort in hiding the replays [editline]04:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=darkrei9n;23781082]720 is my character code.[/QUOTE] No as in I can't type out darkrei9n. I can't put in a 9. Just add me. Jund, 576

[QUOTE=MuTAnT;23779174]If I can suggest, Terran was designed for dominating in placement leagues. They can lift off their cc's to chill at the gold fields freely right at the beginning and they can reaper harrass like jerks.[/QUOTE] Reasons why lifting off and taking the gold right at the start does not work: a) While the CC is airborne, you have no income. b) If the opponent isn't a total noob, they will scout after their first depot/pylon/overlord and catch the CC mid transit. c) By the time you land, opponent has 15+ workers, decent income and a rax/gateway/pool, while you only have 5 scvs, 50 minerals and no buildings. d) Gold expos are usually fairly open and impossible to wall off. e) Your first depot finishes, opponent rushes you with marines/zealots/lings. f) GG As for reapers, best thing to do is always assume a terran player will reaper harass and build a bunker near your mineral line. Better safe than sorry.

Just had an epically long match with LeonS and another guy (not sure if he is on FP), damn that was long. Also I need to find a way to protect myself during the early part of the Mutalisk build. And Garry needs to make a mobile version of FP.

Well that blew [editline]05:06PM[/editline] Should have Raven'd [editline]05:06PM[/editline] Rematch! [editline]05:21PM[/editline] I lost twice :saddowns: [editline]05:30PM[/editline] BTW I found the replay [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3865912/Xel%27Naga%20Caverns.SC2Replay[/url] I did decent. I got pretty lucky with my block going up just in time. Still, I could have ended it at around 15 minutes but I got gunshy.

Best thing ever is proxy pylon rush. Brings a tear in my eye.

[QUOTE=SteeleCratos;23782078]Best thing ever is proxy pylon rush. Brings a tear in my eye.[/QUOTE] Tis a beautiful thing.

The heck is a proxy pylon rush.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;23782198]The heck is a proxy pylon rush.[/QUOTE] I think it's a protoss player deploying warp spheres everywhere then using warp gates to send in units.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;23782198]The heck is a proxy pylon rush.[/QUOTE] Have 4-8 Warp Gates, put up a Pylon outside (or inside where he can't see it) of the enemy base, and warp in units and sandwich your opponent.

Any tricks for the great train robbery. I can make it to 5 trains but the kill team takes out my dbs.

Might sound obvious but avoid the kill team. Don't try to take them if you can't do it. I killed them when they showed up so i'm not sure if they guard the last 3 trains.
