![[image loading]](http://s10.postimage.org/t4jjstpuf/stutter.jpg) As Terran it often happens that a probe will be approaching your main as your first marine pops out. If you stutter step away from your base, you can increase the chances that it can't retreat but will allow it to go into your main. If you stutter step backwards towards your main you will prevent scouting but allow the probe to get away. I prefer generally to stutter away from my main so that there isn't a probe running around the map for the next few minutes.    | ||

In a strategy game, information is so very important and it is always big to know facts, then things you can derive as truths, but to also be aware of possibilities. People tend to not put enough credence into the fact that SC is a game of information. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable for said build. I hope it always works out for you! | ||

If you don't want to let the probe see your gas situation or whatnot, then prevent scouting, but if you are just more comfortable "knowing" that probe is dead, then do so, but remember just because you kill that probe all you actually know for a fact is that the probe is dead. There could be 1,2,3, or many more still walking around the map, planting pylons, scouting, whatever.

Because to stutter you have to issue a move command immediately after the first shot. Hard to read the movement before you need to issue a command. | ||
