It'd be a stalemate all the way around, unless one of you makes a horrible mistake.

considering how out of practice I am... I think which ever me doesn't storm his own units would probably come out on top.

Their behaivor would deviate the moment they are subjected to different experiences so you will never have 100% copy playing itself.
I'm very good at making carriers.

That's true. Even if the copy popped into existence during the loading screen, if nothing else the different spawn location would cause the experiences to be different. I'm not sure this would have a substantive impact, but there would be a "randomness" element introduced. Also, given that some maps can have assymetric spawns, that changes things. For example, if you spawn clockwise from your opponent on tal'darim altar, it's much easier to siege up and shoot into his natural mineral line for you than it is for him, etc.

Well, I suck bad enough that it would probably be entertaining, since I can't imagine both of me would make identical mistakes at identical times.

Top tier players would be incredibly boring, because even if they tried to mind game each other, they'd just go in circles and never get anywhere, knowing how they thought.

This got me wondering, I thought it would be cool to make a custom map that is a 1v1 but exactly symmetrical. You would ask your friend to play on it against you, but he plays against a computer that is programmed to to the exactly same actions as the friend, except in an opposite direction with spatial actions. Epic trolling.

I like to metagame my opponents so I'd basically be caught in an infinite meta-meta-meta-meta gaming sequence.

was there not a huge thread about this on team liquid earlier? (might have been a different forum.) That thread was about fighting yourself though.

Anyway. Assuming everything was exactly the same (e.g a perfect replica, in a perfectly similar room, on a perfectly mirrored map, under perfectly mirrored conditions, and absolutely no difference from each other in any way.) Then the actions would be perfectly mirrored, and it would end in a perfectly equal draw. probably with the last 2 units killing eachother at the same time.

It would be the worst ZvZ ever, because neither player would have any baneling or infestor control whatsoever, and it would all come down to massive roach armies beating on each other endlessly until somebody gave up.

To the people thinking it would be a draw: utter nonsense. Even if you made literally identical decisions, things like position would come into play. Whether it was luck (a well placed baneling, or a stalker that gets into position 2 seconds on one side while the other gets stuck behind a zealot), map asymmetry (at a high level at least, starting position can change your decisions even in a mirror match), or something else, I can assure you that while it would be interesting and close games much of the time, the idea that you would end up in a true draw any more than normal is ridiculous.

Have you played nexus wars? Zealot vs Zealot, one will always survive . It has to do with which one attacks first, which is build into the game so it would never truely be perfectly mirrored

For the sake of this thread i'll say it's possible and my ZvZ game would be epic ^^ roach ling early game into mass roach infestor and then on to the hive tech. Who ever has the better possitioning wins

12nex vs 12nex into split map and arbiter/DA. Would be pretty epic.

I would definitely lose because I would feel bad about wooping my ass so hard in a match and let me have the win. That way I don't feel bad about woopin dat ass and I am also happy because I got a free win. GG me no re!

If I played myself, I'd not fret... would know I'd be safe vs any all-in/cheese (4gates, cannon rushes), because I never do any, thus my own 'twin' wouldn't either. Would win vs myself most-likely =D
