Brood War even has better graphics than SC2 damn right it does lol, how can you even pretend to believe that's true? I have a thing for old-school pixelation, but this game looks almost indistinguishable from Warcraft 2 these days. It's so simple.  don't need to pretend, IT'S FUCKING TRUE, sc;bw graphics = sex with kerrigan, sc2 graphics = bob the builder built sc2 Most disturbing set of analogies ever to grace the internet. I hope your weird sexual appetites are kept at bay by some sort of well-regulated porn supply. BW had its day. It will go on being an ok game. But it's just a lot of tedium and clicking these days for some of us. Sorta ugly clicking.
i'm glad you liked my analogies. BW didn't "had its day" BW is still having it's days, everyday and it will go on being one of the best games ever to surface this earth

hiya should ask out the cute girl that started applauding when he lockdown the arbiter =D
|
man that was a good game. would have missed if it wasn't posted in a thread with such an ambiguous title haha. thanks.
|
We can nitpick this and that all day, but the fact remains that this was by far one of the most entertaining games of the year. The nukes and the lockdown made this game, and the mindcontrol was simply icing on the cake. It's the textbook example of how a spectator game SHOULD be.

the mind control on SCV was badass

If they ever met physically, she'd be the one asking him out. That's what i would do if i were her.

hahhha hiya's laugh at the rage mc <3
such a goodd gamee just sad i missed it live
|
The best part is that hiya looked like he was enjoying himself, regardless of the outcome. His smile at the MC made me laugh :D.
Unconventional stuff like this is exciting, and makes broodwar fun to watch, but this happens, what, 1 in every 100 games? In starcraft 2 every 10th game you see something unconventional you didnt think was viable and a good player pull it off to beat another good player, if anything this proves why sc2 > bw

The clearest indication of the title of this thread wasn't balance, units, mbs, automine, graphics, or anything like that. I play sc2, i get bored after like... what... 4-5 games. I rmbered when I used to try to ladder for iccup, id play 15-20 games in a row then punching the wall out cuz some asshole dt rushed me. It's jus not the same.... Theres no magic....

Hmm I have to disagree, I have yet to be impressed by any Starcraft 2 matches, Brood War is still lightyears ahead in terms of spectator enjoyment for me.
I am not saying SC2 is bad, I enjoy it a lot. I just find watching even "top level" games quite boring. I think it is mostly the lack of interesting units. If you can recommend a good SC2 match I'm all for giving it a go but so far I have been disapointed by all of the recommended SC2 games.

awesome game
but Hiya played like a clown
|
Hiya lost all his wraiths when he called down the first nuclear strike  I think that was the game ending moment. With the wraiths he could have went around the map and killed the remaining arbiters. Strange that he didnt remake them though. . .

Because Blizzard somehow figured out what to automate and what not. In BW, unconventional strats get destroyed because of pure mechanics.
|
Unconventional strats by really great uber pro gamers that spend 8/12 hours a day playing sc:bw lose to unconvential strats... Yeah, we should probably drop the whole '"anyone who can pull off a nuke is god" mentality. Sure that has been brought up before.

That's largely because we don't really have a sense of what's "standard" other than in the most basic sense (marauders/roaches being good in every matchup, etc.), and because the "good" players are the equivalent of maybe C or B level players in BW right now. Unconventional strategies were common at the start of Brood War's competitive life as well, and won games just as often.

Brood War is everything that Starcraft 2 is not. Anytime a ghost is built is a reason for celebration

wow bw definitely has better graphics than sc2 in youtube/video forms. jank it up to 1080 p, or it might just be the casters you view have their settings set to low, low settings sorta bring sc2 down to a red alert , sc bw level.
sc bw level? bw is so crystal clear to watch. just aweseome easy for the eyes of spectators.
Also the thousands of strats and patches since 1998 makes it almost impossible for sc2 to catch up.
bw is 12 years ahead man.
