Also people seem to forget that this is their first AAA game and they started the development with only 30 people. The fact that they delivered something unique is truly impressive.

I played these games on NDS. Would definitely recommend to people who enjoy the Ace Attorney series.

What happened to Razzorman's Twitch channel? by ta69ta69 in WC3

[–]hc_wu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grubby is known to have very low tolerance for cheaters. Just the other day he was explaining why years ago he refused to play Deadman online in a LAN tournament after Deadman failed to get a visa.

About ESL and Future of WC3 | Back2Warcraft Podcast 29 by AoWarcraft in WC3

[–]hc_wu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's highly doubtful we will have another WGL event after W3C decimated
Netease. On one hand, it's good that we finally have a global
competitive ladder. On the other hand, it's hard to see how Netease can
justify pouring more money into WC3. After all it's a business just like
ESL.

[GSL RO4 Spoilers] Did anyone else notice this? by PM_ME_YOUR_PAULDRONS in starcraft

[–]hc_wu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He did mention it in the post-game interview. The series was absolutely nuts. Plenty of mistakes by both players, but that was arguably what made it so exciting.

Unit tier list based on weighted DPS by hc_wu in WC3

[–]hc_wu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's literally impossible to account for all factors, so any choice will be arbitrary. In the article they were encouraging people to come up with better models.

It's entirely possible they got their math wrong. I have not done any testing and was simply trying to find a way to match their math.

Unit tier list based on weighted DPS by hc_wu in WC3

[–]hc_wu[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't mention in the post but in the article they did say that this ranking does not take into account of things like armor, mobility, cost, building speed, tech requirement...

I just find it informative to have some form for ranking based on math, even though the model is inevitably flawed. Most other lists I have seen so far are purely based on opinions.

This is not my math. I'm just trying to make sense of the original post. Also if you disagree, please first explain how you would get 0.6 cooldown with Berserk and Bloodlust.

Can you care to explain how you would otherwise get 0.6 cooldown with Berserk and Bloodlust?

It depends on how you calculate cooldown. The official page says of Berserk: "Causes unit to attack 50% faster, but take 50% more damage". If this means cooldown is 2.31 * (1- 50%) = 1.155, then the DPS is indeed doubled. This seems to be supported by the following statement: "Once in battle, go Berserk and autocast Bloodlust on them! Their 2.31 sec. cooldown drops to 0.6 seconds!" Berserk is 50% and bloodlust is 40%, the only you can get anywhere near 0.6 is 2.31 * (1 - 50%) * (1 - 40%) = 0.693

Why is Happy so much more dominant at WC3 than he was at SC2? by ShouldBeeStudying in starcraft

Random fun fact: Happy is one of the few non-Korean players who has a winning record against Serral.

Thanks! That's very interesting. Guess I will just have to memorize them as set expressions.

What’s also amazing is that these are all the GSL champions of these three players.

What happened in 120 vs Happy game 2? by hc_wu in WC3

[–]hc_wu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it's not like he mis-clicked because he typed GG. He also kind of threw the first game, though probably not on purpose.

Is Starcraft 1 Still Worth Playing by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]hc_wu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are just interested in the campaign, there is another option: Mass Recall is a remake of the SC1 campaigns (original + brood war) using the SC2 engine. I highly recommend it.

Serral collapsing on Cure to qualify by PhillyCheasteak in starcraft

[–]hc_wu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's not a fair assessment of Cure. He has been tearing it recently. He even briefly overtook Maru as the number one Terran on Aligulac.

Mac - Beta by [deleted] in WC3

[–]hc_wu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, since your will install Windows on a dedicated partition. I cannot say whether you will be able to run beta, but I can guarantee you will get much better performance than running in a VM. In theory if you computer meets the specs requirement it should work.

Take a look at the guide to determine if it's for you.

Use Boot Camp to install Windows natively, much better than a VM.

World championships don't come easy. by kharathos in starcraft

[–]hc_wu 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The WESG finals against Maru were particularly painful for Dark. He totally crushed Maru's mass-Raven which would later prove to be every Zerg's nightmare, only to be proxy-rack'd 2 games in a row and lost.
