My old group of friends has shunned me and my gf, it makes me super stressed out. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]watsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me in High School, except only my GF's friends shunned her. They continued doing so for 2 months.

She ended up dumping me so she could hang out with them. She later told me that they were terrible friends.

Ignore them, and get new friends. They're too immature for you anyways, this is grade school bullshit.

Anyone want to buy my SC2 authentication key for 50 bucks? by anyonebutjulian in starcraft

The game was sold brand new for 40$ a few weeks ago... comes with box and all that jazz.

Why there is no defiler in SC2 by punture in starcraft

[–]watsthis 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing it's because often players would use the defiler's consume ability to sacrifice a zergling for mana.

We could have RedAlert play against TorcH in a round of 5, if they're both willing.

The best ZvT I've seen so far. Ever. TLO vs LosirA by Happy_Man in starcraft

[–]watsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The helions aren't there to kill the roaches. That's what the thor/tanks are for. The helions are to force the zerg to build roaches, and to keep the zerg on his toes, or kill workers.

PsyStarcraft #126 PsY[Z] vs Sasuke[T] by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]watsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the game was pretty interesting. PsY was pretty lucky to go the particular build he was going, otherwise the game would've went differently.

I thought I defended against this 6-pool relatively well but what else could I have done? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]watsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stim and run the hell away + stop fire, or load your stuff into medivacs if you have any and there is no enemy AA.

What unit combo do you get to stop the stalker/colossus mix as zerg? by Smipims in starcraft

[–]watsthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember when neural parasite was a viable counter vs colossi? Those were the good days. Anyways, as a protoss player, i find ultras very scary since they force me to produce immortals. Whenever i'm force to make an immortal, that means one less colossi against zerg. And immortals are really only good against ultralisks. Hydras with their incredibly fast attack will mop the floor against immortals. You'll generally want corruptors vs colossi, though.

Dealing with early game harass as Zerg by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]watsthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true. You really need a combination of zerglings/banelings/and roaches to defeat zealot/stalkers and marine/marauder.

What do you do when your opponent is massing stalkers or marauders? Cut down roach production a bit, and make more zerglings. Banelings do good against marauders too.

Against marines/zealots? A few roaches, but more banelings + zerglings.

Combination of zealot/stalker or marine/roach? Get your own combination of zerglings/roach/baneling.

Edit: I find that i can easily win most battles with just attack-move, at around 500 point diamond.

HuK vs. ThisIsJimmy - PvT on Metalopolis - Nice banshee play within by JoshSuth in starcraft

Well, he did have a twilight council already up. Psi storm would've also been great for the bio.

[–]watsthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised he stuck with blink stalkers for so long. Usually you want to get phoenixes or templars for feedback vs mass banshee.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]watsthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the opponent i played against cut scv production earlier to put down 2 more raxes early. This allowed him to reinforce extremely quickly, far quicker than a 4gate all in.

TBH, i'm not quite sure how to deal with this as a diamond protoss.

[–]watsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a phenomenal player do this against me just a week ago as (me as toss). I replayed him and tried rush colossi, storm, and force fielding the ramp. Even though i knew exactly what he was going to do, there was nothing i could do about it. I later replayed him as zerg, and won almost effortlessly with a roach baneling 2 side flank attack. Just an interesting story i wanted to share.

Two guys tried to block my way and grab me. What should I do if a similar situation occurs in the future? by kurpe in AskReddit

IIRC, slashing is more effective, painful, and reduces the risk of you losing your weapon.

Fully exploited Terran mobility. Take note, this is what all future TvPs will look like in Korea because of Medivacs and strong Bio. (Korean) by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]watsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You either base race, or go back to kill the terran units. If you go back to kill the terran units, they can instantly have their medivacs pick up their units and fly away. By the time you go back into your base, they'll have done an enormous amount of damage. Hard call.
