Recently I saw an absolutely awesome video of mutalisk(mostly vs scourge) microcontrol in deep analysis.
Unfortunately, it's in chinese, but I found it understandable - so I wanted to share it with you guys.

I really hope it wasn't posted here alerady .

It's Chinese, and they are talking about "Muta Convolute".

They gave out a few tips starting at 6:40 telling you how to kill scourges effectively.

1).Make sure the distance between your mutas and the scourge is around the length of two mutas. Click away from the scourge, but make sure the point you wish to move your mutas is collinear with your mutas and the chasing scourge.

2) Since mutas cannot attack backwards, you have to turn the mutas. Click-move a point such that it's at a 45 degree angle with your mutas and the scourge.

3) Attack. Once your mutas turned upwards (due to point 2), P-click (important to use P, can't use A) downwards such that you have a -30 degree angle between your mutas and the scourge.

4) Twirl back. Click away from the scourge again such that you have a -150 degree angle.

5) Regroup. Just move with your muta and OL.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Evan - just go to Windows Movie Maker and add subtitles. No need to dub. If you're going to dub, record yourself, and overlay it iwth WMM anyway. Then Volume down the original.

I like the Jay Chou music -.-z

Anyways, to add on to what people have already translated: basically you want to click in a circle (clockwise or counterclockwise, whichever is more comfortable) so they are already partially turned when you tell them to attack. If you're moving forward and you click to attack backwards, the muta motions will be delayed, they'll slow down, and you'll get bombed.

Alright enough is enough. You didn't bother me when everyone was bashing you, Carlodajin, but you are one ANNOYING fuck sometimes.

But thanks a lot for the video and translation. I spent like days figuring this out, but this is a more direct way to do it than what I thought. Sweetness. Thanks guys.

That's a gosu video (although old), and it is completely relevant. It's this that I can't stand any more:
This came into my mind after seeing that video. Ah JulyZerg "The God Of War"!.

WHY?! EVERY DAMN POST! WHY?!! WHERE DOES THE MADNESS END?!!!

I can understand why you think it's an overreaction. I was on your side at one point. We've already had this conversation about him, but the fact remains I think this kid is annoying. I dislike him.

I thought mutalisk was "fei long" or flying dragon in chinese? Maybe that's just what they call it from where I'm from.

Some of the names are hilarious though.

Dragoon = zhi zhu (spider)
Hydralisk = kou shui (spit)
Zergling = xiao gou (little dog)
Carrier = da fei ji (big plane)

I especialize in destroying someone over-the-top-ego. That means when I devote my energies to praise something skillful. Egos-over-the-top get hurt really but really bad. So bad that they answer like you just did. Be humble and accept the fact that your favorite preferences are not the best. And skillful people that must be recognized exists in this great world we live.
Because everytime someone calls JulyZerg fat it hurts for me.

Muta is generally referred to as flying dragon.

I always thought dragoon was called "Dragon Knight".

haha the best part about that video is the announcer (the one on the right, the chubby one w/ glasses) says 'he has to retreat the mutalisks' right when the mutalisks come into view of the marines (before any marine deaths)

You must be joking. Is that why you keep doing this? I don't believe this.

I think there's a language barrier and a big misunderstanding here, so excuse me for actually having to spell this out to him,

Okay so as I understand it, you think that I am offended by the JulyZerg video somehow because of MY ego? You're saying that because you praised JulyZerg there, that my "over-the-top ego" got hurt? You think that my EGO has something to do with this? That I'm jealous of (lmao) JulyZerg or something? I think I finally understand why you take so much shit, Carlodajin, and continue to do the same thing over and over. He thinks that when someone is annoyed by his praise, that we're denying the greatness of all the players he mentions. That (in his words) we don't recognize all the skillful people he mentions and that we get pissed off because of our egos(?) You think people call JulyZerg fat out of malice?

Carlodajin, please try to understand the next few things I'm going to say to you. On this forum, the vast majority of people know VERY WELL how great JulyZerg, Boxer, Reach, etc. are. We appreciate probably BETTER than you how much they deserve the titles they receive, like "God of War" or "Emperor," and they are common knowledge to nearly everyone here. And one thing is for certain: the people here have shown the utmost respect to all the legendary players you keep bringing up LONG before you or I were here. That is exactly why people get upset with you. You keep mentioning these names as if you're trying to teach us or something. It insults me that you think that we're not aware of these people or we don't respect them.

If you think that anyone has ever denied their greatness or "egos" have ever been part of this, then you really don't understand why people get annoyed with your praise. They are not annoyed with "I love Boxer, he's awesome." They're annoyed with "I love Boxer, the Terran Emperor, the Legend Of Korea" because his title is so well known that it sounds condescending on your part to have to mention it. So please, by all means continue your praise. Everyone has their favorites and we all know the greats. But STOP giving us these history lessons and fun facts that we've learned long ago about the legendary players that we already revere.

Oh, and about how you think I feel about JulyZerg? I am a zerg player who had always gotten obliterated by Terrans all the time, and had all but given up hope until July stepped onto the scene. Please, don't lecture me about his greatness. Only the true JulyZerg fans like him enough more than the others to be able to poke fun at him and call him the "Fat Overlord." It's an affectionate term when I use it and a nasty term when you use it. And that video? It has been in a folder called "July" on my computer since it was shown here on TL last year.

Carlo, you think WE were being the arrogant ones?

I'm sorry for calling you annoying- that was the only insult I made about you. I'm sure you're really not completely an annoying person. But I still dislike you, and that's not an insult. It's my opinion based on YOUR behavior.

Fin.

Edit: Oh, and when I mentioned "the video" in my previous posts, I was talking about the one from the original post. Not yours. I tried to keep mentioning it so I wouldn't hijack the damn thread.

5) Regroup. Just move with your muta and OL.


is it just me or does that sound insanely difficult


Yea, I don't get it either.

Those Paint pics aren't helping either.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Basically you P-move to attack the scourge (patrol finds targets faster than attack move for mutas), but it doesn't work if the mutas are facing away from the target. Since you don't want to move into the scourge, you want to quickly do a 360.

In sweatpants' pic, the red arrows are where the mutas are facing, the green arrows are the scourge, and the M/P are what and where you click next.

Dragoons are called dragon rider as zealots are zealots. Lurker is lurker, or ground spike. Carrier's just called carrier. Most of the names are direct and near-direct translations with nicknames sometimes for convenience.

"Horse tower: is the phonetic sound of muta, or how they pronounce it, mata?

Uploaded to youtube last night but I fell asleep so I forgot to link . Extracted the lesson from the video.

Ok, I made a UMS for it. Let me know if there's any problems with it.

It's not meant to be a serious challenge to win, just an easy way to practice this a lot. Kill the coccoon thingy to end the game.

If you have 11 mutas, its easier to press patrol unto yourself. Not behind, not forward. This is the way I've been doing it and it works, not hard at all. But with few mutas, this should work, like with 3. minimum needed to own a scourge. Ok now scourge will be completely useless until large muta fgiuhts with everyone nkowing this stuff lol.

They gave out a few tips starting at 6:40 telling you how to kill scourges effectively.

1).Make sure the distance between your mutas and the scourge is around the length of two mutas. Click away from the scourge, but make sure the point you wish to move your mutas is collinear with your mutas and the chasing scourge.

2) Since mutas cannot attack backwards, you have to turn the mutas. Click-move a point such that it's at a 45 degree angle with your mutas and the scourge.

3) Attack. Once your mutas turned upwards (due to point 2), P-click (important to use P, can't use A) downwards such that you have a -30 degree angle between your mutas and the scourge.

4) Twirl back. Click away from the scourge again such that you have a -150 degree angle.

5) Regroup. Just move with your muta and OL.

did you guys watch THE VIDEO??

because just reading that it's hard to make sense (if you're good with spatial orientation you can figure out the angles but otherwise it's hard to picture it)

but after i saw the video it made complete sense

Very useful but it really seems like taking advantage of a unit glitch that does take away much of the usefulness of scourges :\

Chinese cant pronounce english words well cause their choice of sounds from their available words are limited.

Same reason why many people cant pronounce chinese words well.

eg: Bei Jing has been pronounced as Bei-Zhing but i agree it is really hard 2 master the pronounciations let alone the intonations.


But that guy in the vid is hilarious. He says that in Warcraft 3 and SC, you need to really feel the game or something like that. He compares it to girlfriends. Each girlfriend is different and have different tastes. =.=

Btw, ghouls in WC3 are called dogs too. I do find it weird.

Really nice vid as im noob. How do you patrol on yourself with 11 mutas?

Oh so you use patrol, its basically the same as a vulture. I always though it was Attack move. No wonder I failed at it >.< Thank you.

So do you use patrol for other units to like marines and stuff? I think its just for scourge, correct?
