i don't know if this is known by koreans or not, but you can buffer double muta attack so they will immediately shoot a volley at max range. it works best for stationary targets, like missile turrets. buffering an attack makes it very easy to double muta with max-range volleys every time, at least vs missile turrets, or other stationary targets like siege tanks

1) move towards target with mutalisk
2) buffer attack on target before mutalisk is in range to shoot
3) wait until all mutalisks shoot a volley
4) pull back ASAP

So you queue the attack command or what? And why does it make it easier?

when the mutalisks are going towards the target, before the mutalisks are in range to shoot the volley you click attack on the target (not queue the attack). it makes it easier because since the attack is buffered, you only need to worry about moving back.

traditionally without the buffering technique, you have to attack the turrets with 2 groups of mutas when they are in range, then move back with the 2 groups. buffering makes it so that 4/8 of the inputs are buffered (select control group 1, right click to attack target, select control group 2, right click to attack target). if you buffer, all you need to worry about is the last 4 inputs (select control group1, right click away to move back, select control group 2, right click away to move back)

Im still not sure what Buffering means in this context, you simply rightclick attack? Wont that slow down the mutas before they arrive to attack which is why you want em moving beyond the target in the first place, to keep speed.

buffering as in the FGC usage of the term, referring to the concept of doing inputs in advanced, storing the actions to be triggered when the game allows rather than pressing at the exact time the game allows.

I think using "buffering" in the way that you are using it is more confusing than anything (and I am familiar with the FGC usage of the term)

storing actions to be triggered when the game allows?? what?? ive no idea how you would do that without queueing commands.

Without queue your command is always instantaneous on click, how would go by "storing" that?

Edit: By buffer you mean spam rightclick on target yes?

it's just telling a ranged unit to attack a target that's out of range, and then when it gets in range it attacks
