I agree with the concept but I'm not sure if the method is the best. Instead of increasing speed, maybe with other handicaps? Changing the speed changes a lot of timings, which is something very important that people "memorize" and will be very different in actual play.

It'd have to be something that makes the game harder to play, but not too different.

I used to practice BW using a tool called "cheat engine" to double game speed. While this tool is obviously not useful for general game practice, it does increase handspeed quite a bit. Going back to regular play after using x2 was like playing on slow speed, it was just so much easier.

QXC, Like. A. Boss. but seriously i think a good way to do this would be using the Green Tea AI and the Coach system that was implemented on this forum if you type coach into custom games you should find it as the first hit. That is the closest thing i can think of.

I'm pretty sure that what qxc is saying is that if you dedicate 2 weeks to trying really hard not to cut corners at, say, 2x the speed of the normal game, even if you do actually end up cutting corners, you'll still come back faster as long as you know what you have to be doing at any given moment to play perfectly. It creates a heightened awareness of the game state even if it's completely unfeasible that you play well at that speed. It's all about setting yourself to a higher standard. I'd be interested in this experiment.

Lol at all the dancing game talk. The reason the itg skillset scales over so well to ddr (pre supernova , lol what a bunch of dumb charts from there on) is because it improves the ENTIRE ddr skill set, not just a single skill.

The problem with qxc's idea is that it is essentially only focusing on one skill set, speed, and neglecting a lot of other skill sets necessary for sc2, mainly being game sense and timings. I could see this idea being beneficial, but if you could incorporate improvements in things like game sense at this higher speed that would translate to a better game sense at fastest settings, that would be much more effective. I'd love to give this a try and see how quickly it can improve my multi tasking though.

On another note, piece of poetry isn't exactly a difficult song. When I quit playing ITG I had something like a ~96 on piece of poetry and that was a considered a pretty mediocre score. Also, Valkyrie Dimension should not be taken as a serious chart, it just doesn't make sense.

This could really work, not for timings but for multitasking, apm and ease of mind to stay calm whatever happens when you play "normal" speed because everything will feel slower which make you think you have more time to react.

I think this is a good idea. I've been practicing speedrunning the game Super Metroid lately, and one day I decided to play through the game on 150% speed. When I went back to the normal speed all the tricks seemed so easy to pull off all of a sudden.

The game would just feel different if you increase the speed, and when you get back to the standard speed used you'll have some issues adapting to it.

In my opinion, when you're right up there at the top things such as playing with one hand, or having 600 apm compared to 400 apm might just give you that extra boost you need to be the best of the best.
I know it sounds absurd, but who knows when this could help? You might realise in some situations, not using your mouse is better for micro.
In the end, if you just practice playing normally for 8 hours a day then you won't be different from everyone else.
Set yourself under different conditions, be a pioneer, and you may just excel in ways unknown to others.

I just want to say that Starcraft Universe is the reason I am going to buy SC2.

Also increasing speed messes up your timings.

Comparisons like this one and a few others are poor. A more suitable example is for example MMA that I watch. Fighters there will fight bigger, faster or stronger guys or w/e in training then what they will hit in their own division. If you have cardio for 4 rounds then 3 rounds get simpler.

You do however need some practice to channel this properly when it matters but it's not so hard because there's a shit load of stuff to do in this game. A banshee for example has the potential to perform very well for every bit of extra attention spent.

Not if you are playing against an AI that plays perfectly (like the best pro gamers would at 100% speed) at 150% speed.

There isn't a short cut to practicing, you just have to play a lot and get better imo. But if you want to then go for it, it'll make you easier to beat in my opinion.


I can't begin to explain how wrong this is.

thanks for the contribution then?


You hadn't elaborated on your post; your initial statement is extremely misleading: he isn't going to be making shortcuts, he's going to be increasing his APM but have no ability to apply it in a standard game, thus making it less useful (in my opinion) than normal practice.


It's misleading because I don't make the assumption that QXC will reach the "600" apm. If he did, he wouldn't be cutting corners, but anything sub "equilibrium" apm at +50% speed isn't efficient, so he would have to be cutting corners to play near the same level (the same way a D+ has to cut corners to get to the late game where as an A player doesn't have to because they can correctly allocate the full amount of apm [400] where the D+ player has to allocate an insufficient amount of APM [200] so they can't possibly play a perfect game).


Isn't that the point though..? Isn't it supposed to be too fast for you to handle so you need to start trying to get faster and faster?
