So you might have seen it in YouTube but this is a much higher quality version of this. I literally drooled all over my desk when I saw it.

the other link is fast.

thank you flying tiger and lordofascension. ^^

cant wait. 50 minutes left. :

 

ick that's not normal

hmm try downloading windows media player classic and see what happens. if it still does it, it could be outdated codecs, video card drivers, etc lol

I don't know what to say. The game is excellent and all but... Is this guy nuts? He's a pro gamer and can't understand that he can't fit a 6th SCV in the build-queue? He places then deletes the 2nd whatever unit in the build queue? Gives orders with six clicks?
I would've enjoyed the vid more if I heard something... anything besides the "not enough minerals", "ri-ri-ri-rightaway sir" and all that cr*p. He should see a doctor about his twitch in his hands.

 

thats a mark of a pro gamer because he is always doing something, as opposed to moving around slowly and being idle

you can measure how pro a player is by counting his APM or actions per minute, that means like how many times he is clicking and using hotkeys and stuff per minute

also, operating with no excess minerals means that you aren't stockpiling resources and have as many units and are as strong as you can be all the time

that was awesome
I assume that they just stuck in all the old Terran sounds, right? That would suck if ALL of the old units had the same sounds as before. The more I think about it, the more absurd it sounds. I knew he was gonna do that thing at the end *no spoiler, ^^* so it was annoying to watch him try to set it up for so long...I was like "GET ON WITH IT"

watching him made me think about how I'm never gonna be that good :'(

 

Oh swell, I cant w8 till I get home, then I wont be able to w8 till it finished downloading lol.

 

I perfectly understand APM and why to avoid stockpiling resources thank you What he did was totally unnecessary though. He was up against a computercontrolled easiest level Protoss. I can understand giving it a try to see how SC2 feels with high APM but 16 minutes of SC1 voices blabbering? Made me want to mute it.
And about the voices, I think none of them will stay.

 

Pro or not trying to accomplish the same action is dumb if you cant

 

i don't get what you mean by "trying to accomplish the same action"
???

 

By keep doing something, Pros can stimulate some area of their brain. Fortunately, as a noob, I don't need that...

 

he just clicks on stuff for the sake of clicking on it. It's like he's hopped up on coke and just HAS to click on stuff.
ZOMG i want a high APM no matter how inefficient it makes me

 

Yeah the guy builds and builds and builds and never gets attacked. A know what APMs are, but i can also click on a lot of useless shit and get a lot of APMs. Hes just showing off. Why play alt 3 consecutive times to see the HP of the buildings in his base that never got damaged in the first place? Is he checking how muchs left for the buildings to finish? Hes playing against the easyiest level of computer. A normal player that sees he has 2 un defended expansions and 2 vikings with 2 marines would just kick his ass.

However, i must admit hes fast at doing things with waypoints and rally points. Thats pretty nice.

 

...the funny thing is, because the clicks are not getting responses, because there aren't enough minerals, the poor guys isn't even getting actions for his inflated APM!

And seriously, while you don't want to stockpile minerals, you don't want to sit around filling up your build queues... because if you ever find yourself needing those minerals for sometihng else, or you need a different lineup of units, you have to waste a bunch more clicks to cancel them off the queue.

 

Yeah a full queue is good only with cheap units, like workrs on an expansion. The guy was fast, but the game was boring. would have been cool to see a player vs player.

 

Bleh I can't stand watching these "pro" players. 99% of the time they just rush the enemy with cheap tier 1 units; it's boring and cheap.

And while this guy at least went all the way up the tech tree I couldn't stand how he was playing. He was just clicking stuff for no reason and would have been slaughtered if he had been fighting a real opponent or normal AI. A high APM is only meaningful if those actions actually do something!

 

I'm sure certain players develop OCD when it comes to clicking things for no reason, because they have to keep up their APM. It's just ... active idling.

 

yes its an addiction. i play fast or click fast in dota which make me look weird and arrogant to others. well screw them, i pwn them most of the time. ^^

do you think will have the same speech for the marines when they are build "you wanna piece of me boy?" in starcraft 2.

i think they should change it as well as for all other units. the viking sounds fresh and COOL so better change all old sounds.

nicely said. this is the problem in starcraft 1. players becomes pros by rushing only, i think we need to see them playing all units specially the top tier units. thats why cheap rush (workers killing) sucks coz most of the time it will determine the outcome of the game. MAKE CANONS TURRETS etc STRONGER and increase hp of workers and the nexus, cc, and hatch. this will solve the problem and not affecting the gameplay much except for cheap base attacking. hhmmm reaver drop. b8ut anyway all units has major roles now unlike before. i still think viking is kinda imba when mass.. they really dont have true weaknesses. i think they will be like dragoons, vulture like in sc1, the units pro always use. well viking is more versatile than old sc units, the AA attack is strong takes out battlecruisers in no time. i think their AA attack should only be strong against non armored unit. its like you will see viking 100% of the time in a starcraft game with terrans (and sometime bc, banshee, etc may not be used in situation) simply because of the viking. i just hope they BALANCE eveyunit out and not make unit with all around purpose like the viking. well i like everythin about it just buff it down. say less hp for the viking.

 

**** the tech tree. most of my protoss wins were from zealot rushes. I don't even like most of the rest of the protoss tech tree. this is why my main race was terran.

 

Rushing doesnt make you a pro. Knowing how to STOP a rush of 2 players by yourself without the help of your ally makes you a pro. Knowing when to attack, knowing whats going on on the map (Like when the enemy just undeployed siege tanks so you know you have to hit him while hes vulnerable). Knowing what your oponent is going for to have a quick counter. Things like that make a good player, not clicking on everyithing you own just to look "cool".

 

The disorganized manner in which the guy seemed to be building his base annoyed me.

On the plus side I see that buildings lift off and land a hell of a lot quicker now than they did in SC1.
