Learning all the units uses and weaknesses first are the most important basics, after that you should just have her mass games verus computers while you sit next to her and give her tips. If she doesn't like 1v1 then start out with 2v2, 2v2 are the best way of teaching someone the basics. If you make her use the keyboard early for hotkeys and such so she makes it a habit she will have an even easier time learning. Usually newbies get uncomfortable using hotkeys ingame and prefer using the mouse.

Don't even bother teaching her how to play. Just make her try the race and let her play on her own pace whatever race she thinks its cute and have friendly 2v2. Eventually she will ask you what to do and then u start teaching her. Work fine for me....before it all end.

Some1 showed me BoxeR game. He defeat 13 zergs in a row. And using SCV with marine to win games. The blind the medic and nuke. All those epic stuff got me into watching Starcraft keke.

He also tell me how Starcraft got so popular while Warcraft 3 cannot. Because of greater supply, harder to micro and bigger battle kekeke.

But when I watch, BoxeR already not fielding out for games anymore
When BoxeR is younger he look like some1 came out from the anime world. Now he is still good looking but he has more veteran look nowadays.

After TL had the competition "post a video of your gf beating a computer" I realized 90% of you are inept teachers. Seriously. Telling your gf to "micro her zealots" is stupid.

I was in a similar situation and it was fun and easy. I started by showing her the basic units and rules, then we played a few 2v2s where I just kept us alive but didn't really attack. That got her used to making an army and getting her economy going. Then I helped coach her in 1v1 for a few games, which taught her very basic defense and timings. Then she was good to go. She could beat 2 comps when we broke up :D


That makes me think of My Fair Lady except for bw. Seriously would make a good premise :D

Yeah I've noticed a lot of people tend to do that teaching stuff (especially informal things like games,where there's no precedence of a lesson plan you've experienced). It's like they get excited about the thing themselves and just jump all over the place without an overall view.

Starcraft 2 is probably easier to get into.
I Think having her watch a few videos is a really nice beginning.
Day[9] daily where he explain the very basics of the game and how to get better.
Also, HDH where it's Tasteless vs Day[9] and Tasteless cancels his Robo into a 4 Gate Push
Then you can have her play against AIs and teach her a little before moving to 2v2 when the beta is back :D

But if you wanna get her into Starcraft 1, You should probably do what Hot Bids said

Make her play Terran. Start LT. Show her how to wall-in. Show her how to cliffdrop. Then just let her build an army and crush the AI.
