I don't know. Maybe on a small map against a terran who doesn't wall.

Even if they didn't wall, Terran could probably survive it in another way - SCV repairing each other. However, if someone doesn't know enough to wall in vs. Zerg, they probably aren't going to be able to micro that (or even know about the ability)...

I got the idea of a guy on the SC boards using the strategy on Diamond level with a 65% win rate.

Lol someone just scv rushed me a little while ago. This is getting silly. I just attacked his scvs with mine and once I killed a couple of his he surrendered. Void rays+stalkers still pwn me though unless I go for a crazy rush.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

so my last six 1v1s have all been against silver players (I'm bronze) and I went 3-3 in those matches. I think a couple more wins and I'll be moving up to silver.

One of those was a loss to a terran, I should've won it. The numbers and graphs at the end all indicated I was playing a better game. What happened is I scouted his base and saw marines, marauders and a couple medivacs. he scanned my base so I figured he was going for a drop by my mineral line. I took seven stalkers and placed them there, then moved the rest of my troops out to attack his base. It was going to be the perfect double whammy, his attack foiled while I wrecked his base. Except he moved his troops on foot, they caught mine off guard in the middle and basically killed my whole army. Now, if I had those seven stalkers with my army at the time, I would've won that battle and eventually overrun his base. So the perfect double whammy was in fact a very dumb move on my part.

It happens. There are so many matches where I see the graph and clearly should win. Makes me so mad.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

I finally got off the losing skid I was on. It was the first time I decided to use void warps in a significant role and it paid off. guy tried to rush my main base with siege tanks and marines. Almost had me, made me have to move my one void ray back, but that caused his marines to run into more of my cannons. Took care of them, then he couldn't put up another attack quite as good while I rebuilt up my forces. Dominated the guy on the ground and air after that.

Protoss seems to be the only group I can build up fast. Kinda sucks.

Ouch that hurts.

I haven't played SC in about a week, and it's been longer than that since I did a non custom game. Maybe I'll get back into it this weekend.

I hate playing SC without a mouse

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Just played the game last night, it's been a month since I last played because a trip to Phoenix and a few other things. I'm absolutely enjoying the story mode and so far I'm doing well in AI(Medium) 1 v 1. I will bump the difficulty up soon once I get used to the preset hotkeys (I still keep pressing O for the siege tanks and all the other traditional hotkeys used in the first SC game).

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

So does anyone on here actually build more than just two types of units when they play?

**BatsareBugs** · 09-03-2010, 09:00 PM

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

I do, I prefer diversifying my units. I just need to improve my microing though.

Depends on the match though I think most people do only mass produce one or two types of units. It is hard to micro manage production of multiple unit types and is easier to just mass produce a limited number of variations.

That said those who are good at building a diverse group of units tend to do the best from what I've seen.

edit -I've decided I'm terrible at this game

I like diversifying my units mostly. I don't think I'll ever be great at this game unless I stop that. Using Protoss is still the only way I can win and make more than two types of units.

And KSU, so am I.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

I hadn't played much recently and found myself getting owned bad in a couple of 1v1 matches. So last night I did some 1v1 against the comp's just to get my build orders straight and I was terrible. On Hard I was able to withstand the initial charge by the comp each time but only barely and was left pretty much defenseless by the time they came for round 2.

My last game though I finally did pretty good. I was able to counter what the comp was doing each time and came out on top with relative ease. Still not nearly well enough to be competitive though.

I'm a very inconsistent player it seems. Some games I do really good, especially with my macroing, but other times I just seem to be a bit sporadic without a real idea of what I want to do.
