I played a zvp on iccup a few min ago and god SC1 is still awesome.

So i'm doing fine, get hive tech n such, and then I'm only using ling ultra versus archon/zealot/temp and then reavers.

And I'm thinking, damn so many zealots, how the hell did I deal with that before?

And then at the end of the game it hits me - there are lurkers in this game.

I was so used to SC2 I was just building lings, mutas, hydras, ultras and devourers lol. LURRKEERRRRRR

anyone find themselves doing things like this after playing a few SC1 games after the SC2 beta phase 1?

Haha, yeah that too. So used to having to hit 1 key for 1 larvae to use, that you're absolutely stunned that 3 overlords were just made.

In my first game back to sc1, I kept using "v" for overlord. This resulted in me being stuck at 18/18 for about 2 minutes. When I realized what was going on, I corrected the hotkey, but I forgot that the smart larvae system is gone, so I made 3 overlords instead of 1. Went from 18/18 to 18/42 I think.

1. I kept freaking out because the building outline doesn't show when a worker is moving to build something.
2. I kept grabbing multiple Drones to build a single building.
3. I was appalled at the until AI. One unit was attacking while 4-5 ran back and forth.
4. I tried to select a screen full of units.
5. I can't stack Mutas well anymore.
6. I tried to unload with D.
7. I tried to make an Overlord with V.
8. I tried to press ctrl+f1.

I'm broken at this game now.

Weird I'm playing pretty much like I used to (just a tad worse) but my macro seems to be better for some reason its just my micro that blows compared to before, my muta micro is sooo shitty now once I get that back to where that was I'll get to C/C+ np .

My mechanics are so bad right now T.T
The apm is still similar but it is extremely sloppy at all times. I just throw production facilities everywhere and it's such a pain to macro. Half my gateways are nicely bunched and the other half surround the perimeter of my base. I'm actually having a hard time with D+...

Wow, what the fuck happened.

My muta micro has just gone down the drain completely. My mouse settings are so fucked up, its hyper sensitive because i did a bunch of changes to it for sc2 and i dont feel like messing with it again. I keep building 3 overlords instead of 1, units are retarded when attacking and moving.

Don't worry Chill, just do what I did! Re-Read every single guide to star craft 1 you've written/read in your entire career of SC. Specifically the recommended guides and liquipedia!

edit: O and, I got my APM to go up to a max of 65 on the BWchart after switching and got my average to raise too! So SCII switch back to SCI helped me =)

[image loading]

+ Show Spoiler +
(Warning: may contain way too much gloat lol) I am even better at cheesing and killed some kid with a 5pylon 5 gate rush against his standard 1gate goon(I knew the build and if it weren't for my zeals starting to kill his pylon powering his gate he would have gone to 2 gate goon, which would've killed me) I posted the rep on repdepot earlier so I'll search for it soon but anyways... ya I won because I started rallying to a place somewhat hidden from his choke and tried to hide 2 zeals to backstab his base with while he pushed into my zeals rallying to his base but he killed one of them and never saw the other so he kept pushing out and I got to destroy his economy with 1 zeal(he got like 5-6 probe kills!!!!) and destroy his goons with the rest of my zeals.

I really don't get why you guys are having so much trouble with the switch lol.


edit3: I'm playing this and SC during the break from SCII! I'm also constently sending blizz letters about how they should make better desicions during my discouraged free time(Just lost to cpu campaign of Wesnoth/ just lost to 3 hackers on b.net#1.

I'm terrible at SC1 now. ( I was D to D+, but now i'm probably low D- now LOL )
1. I always have idle scvs in the beginning of the game because i expect them to automine.
2. I freak out when i can't select more than 1 building. ( I am much more prone to frustration when i have to set a rally point for each factory individually.)
3. I try to select more than 12 units. And then remember it's SC1 2 minutes later.
4. When i press to build an add on, i expect it to auto build without you telling it where to build it.

SC2 has lowered my skill considerably. =(
