This cheat doesn't work against a real opponent. As somebody said, you'd just desync from server and be instantly dropped.

I actually support palying vs a computer, if you want to get to know a build order better or perfect it even more, by playing a computer will further strengthen your knowledge of a build order. You can argue that playing people is the same, but by playing a computer you actually will view the game in a different view, and learn better that way.

You'll be fine. Anti-hack checks for memory modifications, not suspicious stuff on your desktop.
Also, to all the music analogies out there: I completely agree and would recommend refining my method to be less a bajillion times of one then a bajillion times the other speed, and more back and forth to maintain precision.
There is, however, the key difference between SC and music. There is an upper limit to how fast you'd reasonably be expected to play the concerto. Playing it faster than that will not get you a louder applause. That is training for precision.
The more valid analogy is the one I have mentioned, to swimming or sprinting. We are training for speed. Thus, larger increments of speed increase should be all right. The theory is that it is much more useful to practice precision at high speed than to practice artificially speeding up your apm by spamming.

I'd like to use this against a human on hamachi. My multitasking holds me back a lot but I rarely feel pressured into upping my apm above 120. If anyone wants to do this please pm me.

Hi ex-cheater, have you come clean at last?

Lol. too much drama. I blame the title.

god what the fuck... I love how every single person who bashes training like this has NOT ONCE TRIED IT yet. They write big posts with big words about how because of this and that it is not likely that this will do shit, so therefore it's not gonna help at all, when they could have used that time to actually try it out for themselves. lol, just lol. Sometimes reading TL makes me sad. I'm installing speed gear now and I'm gonna try this out, thanks a lot wok.

^^Yep, the responses are a little aggressive.
To the fellow who thought the music analogy was no good, I'd like to clarify a bit.
Starcraft IS not ONLY muscle memory, but is also not ONLY strategy and reaction. Music is the same. Jazz music is heavily improvised. The tune Giant Steps by Coltrane is a great example - No one can even touch his that because his technique was so good. If I'm soloing, and the harmony changes unexpectedly, I need to react. All the technique in the world doesnt get you anywhere , both in SC and music. But if you have no technique/mechanics, you'll never be able to pull off the double drop while decoying at the front gates.
I just think that this is an effective way to train (having done it) one aspect of your game. If you dont, that is all well and good, but you should do your best to try it with an open mind first.
Cheerio.

can anyone throw up a guide on how to install and then use some of these programs? I have absolutely no idea on how to make any of this work. This really sounds like a valid idea to me, and i was wondering if someone would be kind enough to show me how to install and or use this thing?
Thanks in advance

1. Google cheat engine 5.5.
2. Install
3. You might have to enable "show advanced options" in options.
4. Click Process and select the game you want to speed up, it'll have a starcraft icon usually
5. Enable "speedhack" checkbox
6. Select speed
7. ?????
8. Profit

Using speedgear is a lot easier than using cheatengine IMO.

yeah using speedgear you just install, start, you can choose what speed you wish. It's only a trial with 30 uses but surely there's a way around that...
Anyways, I just tried this and it's freaking great. I just had like 4 games against the comp, then I tried normal speed and really it all seemed sooo slow. I checked speed gear again if it really was back to 1x. Then a few sec later I quit the program just to be sure it's not slowing anything down, cause the animations suddenly seemed a little laggy too.
My apm was automatically quite a bit higher (wok mentioned his isn't but his already was 250 apm, which I consider very high already [mine is only 160-170] and I was already a little more coordinated, I always transfer drones to my natural too late, this time I did not. So screw all that "it fucks up your muscle memory/ fucks up your timing" bs.

This is a very interesting way to practice mechanics...but I dont see how one could micro at a higher speed. Gamesense wont be improved and micro would be pointless imo
Not bashing the idea of using this as a training tool. for instance versus a computer this will allow you to practice builds, splitting workers asap and things like that. Maybe this will help some
The way i work on my mechanics is to play vs someone better than me, and make the games last as long as possible like 30-40 minutes giving me an opportunity to play off 3+ bases, getting familiar with the builds, trimming excess clicks, making things more efficient imo
Practice practice practice

No this obviously won't improve game sense. And it won't improve micro by itself, but I'm sure unless youre already amazingly fast this will simply help you be faster. This will mean more multitasking, and you will have more time to micro/macro.
The way you suggest to train sounds great, but first of all not everybody has a practice partner who is better and is willing to play worse so that every game will be such super long game. Secondly, it's not like using this to practice every now and then, doesn't mean you can still mass games. Playing a few games vs comp like this doesn't take much time at all, because, guess what, every game is twice is fast

This is fucking cool, and anyone who doesn't think so is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

i used it some times in the past but that doesnt really help.
i've beaten computers on x5, but the thing is its easier than vs a normal player.
this method will make you just produce units as fast as you can and attack move in their base because comps dont micro.
you dont need to upgrade,micro,harrass, take more than 2 expansion, make probes constantly.
the way you win on x5 is just getting 1 expo and make some probes and then just push units out of ur 8 gates all the time without doing anything else. thats it. it doesn't help.
you would need to force urself to do everything you would do against an intelligent player so that it helps. but you wont, because its not needed against the comp
