As expected it is easy to reproduce in single player (I used 1.16, but RM should make no difference) on slow game speeds. So in principle it would work at fastest without latency as well, simply comes down to hitting those keys fast enough.

Summary:

This is possible on all forms of multiplayer StarCraft: 8 turn rate extra high battle net, 24 turn rate low battle net, and LAN. It is not, I believe, possible in single player (I have not managed to do it there). It is easier the laggier it is, but even over LAN, it is possible to do pretty consistently.

Many of the BroodWar speedruns require similar tricks (for Crackmutas for examplke), so there's probably even a way to make it work in SP. There's probably always a frame or so delay in interface updates. Have you tried it at slowest game speed?


When I say that it's not possible in single player, I mean that it's not humanly possible, at least not with the keyboards of today (on the fastest game speed).

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I'm creating archons with 1 hallu and 1 real, but the result is the archon is a hallucination and not a real one.

I'm selecting 2 ht, grouping them to ctrl 1
Then selecting real + hallu ht, and pressing shift 1, 1, r

The real + hallu ht merge but the result is a hallu archon

if the resultant archon is a hallucination, your error is that the hallucinations were made AFTER the templar used to merge. you need the creation timestamp to be newer for the real temp than the fake one.

Also, this can be reproduced on all turn rates and on remastered and 1.16. the selection "bug" exists in all versions of the game that I know about

can the same or a similar technique be used on hallucinated hydras and mutas to morph real units?

I just tried this: No
The real units morph, the hallucinated ones just stay there

You're right, thank god the game was revolutionized in our favor 13 years ago when we realized we could select 11 Scouts with 1 Probe trapped between Pylons and stack them to harass enemy worker lines. Oh wait...

It's cool and all, and even cooler that things like this are discovered in 2019.

But, even so, this will be fixed by Blizzard, as this does throw some type of unbalance into the game. For instance, the "mass recall" from last year, that's not really any sort of unbalance, but I could see this archon gimmick really changing the course of late game PvZ, or even being incorporated into some sort of crazy 8 gate PvP timing attack, etc (lot of different possibilities)

Is it really broken? I hope it isn't fixed for at least a single ASL. Protoss players have to first research hallucination and wait for a templar to have the energy. Plus it requires a fresh ht and successful merge before the hallucination expires. We should wait to see if this strategy is relevant first and then broken second.

It's a cool trick and it could see it beeing somewhat helpful in some situations, but by no means this is a game breaker discovery. It's not like now the P v Z winratio will dramatically turn in P favor because of this: 1. only viable on late game, 2. needs for the user to make quite a few tasks before it.
Just remember a few months ago we were doubting if Totall Recall was goin to change meta in P v T and No, it didn't, not in the least, and I think that was a bigger deal.

"need a patch", in order to what? ASL not becoming Protoss broken or preventing the Ladder of beeing taken over by Protoss going mass Archons? lol, come on, don't be silly...


I can imagine a timeline where a patch could not come and we all still "be fine" regardless.

I agree. People are baselessly concluding that this is imbalanced much too early.

also koreans told me that you can do this with dark templars as well


Am confused. Sounds like this is known already in Korea? Or were there KR netizens reading TL and informing him that we just now noticed this and this was truly "discovered" in the foreign community.
