to be VERY general, its good to have double his factory count in gateways until it gets late game when you can just have 20+ gateways. sometimes you can have less, depending on what hes doing, or you could want more if you want to bulldog him. tech varies a bit, considering the amount of paths protoss can take with tech. but the best rule is simply get it asap. you definitely want to have at least 1 arbiter (usually you will have 2) before he has a vessel and you want to have leg speed before he has +1 upgrades, but these things can still vary depending on the situation. for example if he 2facs/fd and manages to contain you, you want to get a shuttle (possibly reaver if you already started getting one), 3-4 gates depending on how much you made from your natural, and leg speed. leg speed in particular will come much earlier in these situations than if you had just played a normal macro game
also you want to have at least 1 more expo than him

I am trying to find the thread that described finding ladder games on fish for foreigners. There is a certain protocol i've seen streamers follow when finding ranked games, and I wish to know more about this. Thank you.

edit:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=398394

found it. im guessing the rules are still the same? sucks i have to be online for 24 hours...

I think you should really be 1 base up on terran at all times, if terran has equal econ terran units are just so much better than protoss when he pushes you'll basically die.

You can do a 2 base arbiter build and still be okay against a 3 base Terran. Obviously you have to expand soon after, usually double expand. However, it is not at all times as you say. A lot of Bisu's PvTs from October demonstrate exactly this play.

I heard somewhere a long time ago that you want at least 1.5 gates for every factory you see. In the late game having 2-3x as many is not uncommon, however.

Partnered streams have quality settings, ordinary streams don't. It's to do with the expense of converting a stream into different formats before restreaming to the viewers.

Question about Broodwar Plugins

Sometimes when watching a replay, I can use the hotkeys of one player. e.g. double-tap 4 on keyboard will select By.FanTaSy's first CC.

I am not sure which plugin allows this (ObsMode? StatInfo?)

It only seems to work on certain replays. and I can only use the hotkeys of one player.

Anyone know how to make this work on all replays? Is there a way to change between players?

thx

From observation it seems you see the hotkeys of whoever spawns in the 'player 1' location on whatever map. On most versions of FS that would be whoever spawns at top right. On some obs maps you'd see an obs' hotkeys, meaning you wouldn't see any... I haven't heard of any plugins that can change this, but I haven't looked either.

It appears HotKey Selector plugin is what I'm looking for. See here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=90265

Somewhat related question, I find windowed mode extremely frustrating to play in because it's so small, but it's the only way I can play on my computer. When I use the x2 button to expand it it makes it really laggy...does anyone know how to get SC bigger? I use Ubuntu as my OS if that's relevant...

What I do these days and what I guess a lot of (if not most) people do is to change the resolution to 600 x 800 while playing in windowed 1x. It's not perfect; the window is bigger and the mouse handling better than 2x in normal resolution, but I would prefer playing in fullscreen as well.

You will probably have to change your screen resolution temporarily. I find even just using windowed mode at all does not have the right feel to it, but it might just be my low-power computer. //oh no points for me, the user above me just said this

I'm impressed you have SC running in Ubuntu. I was never able to make that happen and got miffed when the solution looked like 'install a windows partition to run simultaneously' ;p

Holy crap thank you guys so much that's amazing <3 I could play fullscreen at school so I got used to that and playing in a screen like 6x smaller at home which is where I ladder and stuff was just horrible...Damn now I gotta get used to playing almost-fullscreen again it's so hard adjusting mouse control...it's annoying changing screen res but worth it <3
Also yeah I just use WINE (windows emulator) to get SC to run c:

What is the oov vs fantasy game where oov does this?

[image loading]

I remember it is a TvZ, I think he was at 5 vs. 1, on a Desert tileset map, iirc.
