Oh yeah, that is against me, and this reveals how much I suck. He is talking about his first wave. He is zerg.
I love Protoss because it is tough and straight. Protoss is the race for men.

If you're talking about how to dodge psi storm and if it's pvz, which I'm guessing it is, you just need experience. Really. I think I remember reading somewhere where someone wrote...

"You must expect the storm, and move out of it's way before it hits."

If you know it's coming, move.

And keep your eye on the HTs. If you see a single one beginning to move, move as well right before he casts.

What you do is when your opponent shoots a psionic storm, you move your mouse curser to a location on the map that isn't underneathe the storm and you right click.

mhmm well first of all I would bet my ass that your opponent in this game is a real life friend? Am I right?

OKAY for the psi storm thing... well I would say DODGE THE HELL OUT OF YOUR HYDRAS
I know it is hard when you start playing starcraft. I remember myself having really hard times with storms before I discovered the thing called ''micro''. 1st thing to do would be to not pack your hydras like you did. All along the game your hydras were sticked together. And yes in order to escape ''the faggotry of psionic storm'' you have to move your units out of the ''stated'' faggotry.

With time and practice youll find that it is pretty easy to spot where the protoss is most likely to throw his storms and youll be able to move your hydras even before the storm is casted.
Also... group your units together (it wil be easier to move them out of danger faster)
and if you find that your opponent is waiting with many ht in narrow paths dont do mass attack.
grab a group of 12 hydras and do some harrassments.12hydras are easily microable and by doing so youll eventually increase you speed and reflexes.
finally dont do hydras only... late game this is hardly viable and early game you need lings for support. Sure you can do hydra pushes but it is rarely ever seen anymore.

Huh no sorry... this game isnt like counter-strike... You actually need skills to play broodwar!

do you want to know the weird thing?
I played ihatett in like the same matchup (zvp), and he didn't go storm (I went hydras, plenty of time for storm to come out).
lucky me :D

also if you 2hatch muta, usually toss is forced to make archons and/or goons, and you can make switch to hydra before he has storm

if you go mass expo w/ spore/lurk defense, then the initial power boost the toss gains from getting 3-4 high temps is greatly reduced

why is everyone elses answer to his problem to micro better? that's probably both the hardest and worst answer out there. a simple change in unit composition fixes the problem of storm.. or even better, yet not harder skill-wise, is teaching how to control the game so that storm is never a big problem (like the muta thing)

You cant really run from storm is they cast 2-3 storms at once .

Try bringing a few queens and trying to quickly brood them.

Protoss always wants to cast their psi storm where you have the larges amount of hydras. Just look at your army, where are your hydras and move them. If you don't believe you can micro your way out of it, maybe he has 5-6 templars. Then don't stand still and hope he forgets to use them, ones again, MOVE!

The only way I dodge in PvP is thinking about what groups of my units I would storm if I were my opponent, and move them. =) It usually works.

Whoa, how did this topic get ressurrected?

As for the question: that's what speed upgrades and the 'move/attack' command are for

hmmmm. this is interesting. you cant dodge like 4 storms at once unless you completely retreat. i can guarantee you that. hydras and lings are really the only targets, hydras over lings, since mutas can run away hit and run hts. watch when hts move. and try to do false attacks.

move your units in just to lure some storms out of him and retreat.
