Starcraft 2 (Info on first post!)

[TheKiest]

Terran needs more nerfs so that when I win, people don't go "You only won because you play Terran"

 

[M@v]

main things this patch:

scv repair is worse

protoss phoenixes build a lot faster

voids are stronger vs massive but sacrifice their speed upgrade.

 

[Nasty_Nate]

Is this the patch where fungal growth doesnt hit air?

Thats huge

 

[Zankoku]

They got rid of that because loss of fungal on air combined with 35 second phoenixes meant all sorts of **** going wrong.

lol SCV repair is worse. More like you don't have to micro as much to make your army not be absolutely ******** about attacking something that won't otherwise go down, or better yet, having a bunch of Zealots circle a Thor because it's surrounded by SCVs.

 

[Kenrawr]

finally get back from Ohio and my parents surprise me with this

[collapse="Bigger is not always better"]

[/collapse]

how the **** am i supposed to play Starcraft now

 

[Nashun]

I'm not entirely sure of what that's a picture of.

A broken monitor?

 

[Kenrawr]

a monitor that's like 2394875x the size of my last one. it just ruins everything in so many ways lol

 

[Zankoku]

Do you still have the old monitor?

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to elaborate based on the forfeiture - Sensei Hanzo plays Zone on Jungle Basin next and Arrow plays Shanus on Metalopolis.

 

[Overswarm]

My monitor is about that size. It's pretty baller for SC.

Also, be ****ing grateful. >:[

 

[Kenrawr]

i bet it's around somewhere, gonna ask my parents tomorrow.

My monitor is about that size. It's pretty baller for SC.

lol the main thing is just having to readjust to a diff set up. i thought a large monitor is a bad thing though.

 

[Nasty_Nate]

no a laggy monitor is a bad thing

Large monitors are the ****

 

[Zone]

Sensai I can play Thursday, I'm going to noob3 this weekend though so can't play till Monday after that. Probably rusty now been training back on melee

 

[Pakman]

HELP, I have some free time Tonight, Tomorrow, and Thurs. I am also gonna be gaming all weekend with Mogwai, so I should be able to squeeze a set out around then too.

 

[Sensei Hanzo]

Thursday sounds fine, Zone. What time zone are you in and what time did you want to play? I'm in EST by the way.

 

[Lore]

Scv repair is worse? Thank god; I've had several rushes get ruined because the other guy uses most of his Acv's to repair everything. >_>

I might not be playing for a while; I got my report card, and my dad is not happy.

 

[Zankoku]

All they did is make repairing SCVs have the same target priority as whatever they're repairing, so units don't completely ignore the SCVs any more.

 

[Roman.]

i think the scv repair thing is gunna make 12 drone rush OP

;3

 

[Mogwai]

last night Scar and I were waiting for Pakman to make a call to play some 3s, so we played a 1v1. We were all already in the skype call so as soon as we spawned I was like, "yo, I'm 6 pooling you," and he was like, "ok, I'm probably gonna lose then." Then I 6 pooled and killed him with 8 lings and 6 drones, it was pretty ****ing funny IMO.

 

[Cynan Machae]

So, now that chat channels are in, I guess smashboards will be the channel?

I saw this as an observer. The best part was that Scar scouted the exact wrong direction.

 

[Mogwai]

I also scouted the exact right position and scar didn't notice my OL spotting his nexus.

 

[Pakman]

I also enjoyed when he attack your hatchery with a probe.

 

[Cynan Machae]

Won 2-0 vs Scabe. Replays following:

Cynan (T) > Scabe (P) on Metalopolis

Cynan (T) > Scabe (P) on Xel'naga Caverns

 

[Deleted member]

hello. seems like i just missed the tournament. how often do you hold these?
char name: TaylorHJ
code: 195

and with the channel function you should make an official swf channel.

at 27:00 on xel'naga caverns i laughed. unfortunate time to reinforce.

 

[Zankoku]

Front page updated.

Cynan plays Ether on Shakuras Plateau, and Nujabes plays Scabe on Jungle Basin.

 

[Scar]

god i hate you guys

 

[Nashun]

I guess channel "smashboards" would be the best place to reach swf players. there are 4 of us in there atm.

 

[Frown]

New patch is out!

Balance

General
Players can no longer block off ramps with two 2x2 buildings.

Protoss

Hallucination research time decreased from 110 to 80.

Observer
Cost decreased from 50/100 to 25/75.

Phoenix
Build time decreased from 45 to 35.

Void Ray
Now deals 20% more damage to massive targets.
Flux Vanes speed upgrade removed.

Terran

SCV
Repairing SCVs now assume the same threat priority as the unit they’re repairing.
SCV construction movement has been made more consistent.


And there we go, that gives Protoss 15 upgrades compared to Terran's 22!

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

[Nasty_Nate]

Voidray speed was awful

[Zone]

Thursday sounds fine, Zone. What time zone are you in and what time did you want to play? I'm in EST by the way.

Probably around 7-8 pm cst that's 8-9p
For you

 

[rhan]

I can livestream Starcraft matches guys.

Just saying.

 

[Nasty_Nate]

That sounds awesome, just sayin

btw who else is a master

 

[rhan]

What I was trying to get at is that I can stream the most wanted matches from this tourney. lol

AKA anything Cynan is in.

BTW channels were in Brood War. SC2 is just finally catching up with the past.

Edit: DLing patch now...

"Players can no longer block off ramps with two 2x2 buildings."

WHAT THE **** DOES THIS MEAN EXACTLY?! Cuz I see is another Terran nerf..

its a protoss nerf to double pylon contain on zerg

 

[Pakman]

Can 2 bunkers still block off a standard ramp against zerg FE?

 

[Zankoku]

Yeah, Bunkers are 3x3, so they still work.

 

[rhan]

its a protoss nerf to double pylon contain on zerg

I never knew about that.

 

[Lore]

The patch looks pretty nice. I'll dl it tonight if I can and also join the SWF chatroom thing.
