So once upon a day one of my favorite Terrans Trump decided to do this random act of mayhem, and create a video for someone in the TL SC2 Strat section asking for some help on replay analysis!

The other day I came across some thread made by a new user mahi29, asking for some help on his PvT replay analysis. Randomly recalling this random act of kindness from Trump, I decided to [randomly] do the same thing.

It just so happens to be that I found making the video pretty dang fun! So, I want to ask anyone reading this blog if you'd like to have a replay of you playing analyzed by myself! I'll be sure to use my fancy smanshee uber awesome drawing program as well, perfectly suited for explaining ideas and concepts on the fly -especially those of which are more complicated than the everyday concepts that you sort of just talk to people about, because you don't need to draw stuff to get it. You know, diagrams like this scribbled mess:



[image loading]



So if you feel up to having me take a look at your play, respond with a link to a replay of yours you feel you really just don't understand! Just be sure to be Protoss, unless you don't care for really poor analysis Also, would be cool to hear what anyone else thinks about the last video I made. If someone else has already posted up a replay, I might still do yours as well! Post it up! You've got nothing to lose

On a side note, it's actually pretty interesting to me the effect that a random act of kindness can actually have. For instance this whole thing I'm doing right now stemmed from a random act of kindness Trump did, and perhaps his stemmed from his own experience with a random act of kindness. I actually thought that most random acts like such would always go unnoticed, but I have sort of convinced myself, on accident, that even though I might not see impacts of acts like these doesn't at all mean they won't manifest, or haven't already.

Post if you dare...

Halpa (T) vs MisterinkP (me, P) on Typhon Peaks

Instead of a "confused" replay, I decided to post one of me playing near my best against a player worse than me. (I'm gold, he's silver)

I hope to see what I'm doing wrong even when as many things as possible go right, thanks for doing this btw.

Damn, I had the same idea in my head of doing this as well D:
How'd you manage to draw in-game? That's the only thing I'm trying to figure out without paying 1,000s of dollars.

Awesome stuff man, I'm going to try and do what you did as well.

Go for it! It's pretty fun and helps out people a whole lot.

Also about the drawing thing, it's really tiny and I think freeware: http://www.mediafire.com/?cisqlcchjtl8jzc

Cassel_Castle! I went and did a 20 minute video for you! It was mostly just talking about the inefficiencies of your opening, and then I went and tried to show you an opening I think you should give a shot at.

This has been the Second Random Act of Kindness Replay Analysis:

Not sure if you're doing PvP but I'd love to see this game analyzed:

[image loading]

Opponent opens with a chargelot+archon rush and I only barely defend with DTs (only way I've found to survive it, so far) then we head into a macro game with lots of zealots, archons, DTs and immortals. Very funky game.

Another PvT game of mine if you could! I won the macro game but he had a zillion minerals a lot of the time and it was still very close, so I feel like I was doing something wrong and shouldn't have won the game.

Ty for doing this, watching now.

Wow very good analysis, a lot of stuff I was messing up seems obvious in hindsight (using stalker to scout vs marines, only making early 2nd gas for gas intensive builds) but thanks for looking at it anyway.

I watched both of the micro videos, I think maybe the unit sounds were just a tad too loud. Also, there's a small black border between the recording size and your monitor size. (Not sure how to explain it.) Otherwise, everything seemed just fine.

I didn't know about the ramp forcefield with the zealots, or about an effecient way to get rid of overkilling, thanks. :D Could you possibly in a future video mention a possible way to deal with EMP's or how to cast good Storms and Forcefields in the same fight?

This is kinda embarassing, but I kinda forgot how to upload a replay. -.-
