Trying out TheCore

End of day feelings: Left handed monkey
Things focused on: New hotkey layout
Completion of Focus: I'm starting to get the hang of it, but it's still slow
End of Day Placement: Bronze (Top 8) But dropped to 7th

Alright, so I decided I was going to use TheCore. I like the idea behind it, but unfortunately I am now having to unlearn the old hotkey layout and learn the new one. So my play has suffered greatly. However I like the hotkey setup, it's just gonna take some time to learn it. After 2 nights of playing with it I now know what the keys are I am supposed to hit, I just have to remember, so I'm not having to look them up anymore which is good.

I have played a LOT of games against the computer and in build order test stuff to try and get the hang of this hotkey setup, and after 2 days of this I finally decided that the only thing I can do is start over again.. So I'm once again only making marines until I can hit my 50 SCVs in 10:00 and a good SQ (I'm aiming for 80). I tried it twice tonight and hit the SQ and SCV mark on the second game. Next I'll go back to only marines and marauders, and then after that back to where I was with a MMM style of opening.

Making crap tons of marines and naked barracks isn't the greatest thing in the world, but it's a great way for me to learn it... I might also modify this a bit so I can teach myself how to better scout or harass or get map control, as those are all things I either don't do or am really bad at... I'll have to sleep on that.

You won't regret it! Once you get used to it, everything flows infinitely better.

Also, if you play against the Very Hard AI, you can aim to beat the AI, making the process of making Raxes and Rines a lot more fun.

I know I'm centuries late to finding this thread in internet time, but I strongly suggest using TheStaircase to learn TheCore. I'm working on a version specifically aimed at learning TheCore, but its kind of low on the priority list for now.
