So yea, i was observing this game the other day- half asleep mind you, and then i notice 2 zealots race across the ground like, insanely faster than usual. I;m kinda confused, watch the rep and low and behold 2 zealots really did run across the map at a super fast speed.

Quite bizarre o.O;

Occurs just after 16mins (after the units come down from the ramp)

haha, I'm pretty sure this is a known, albeit rare, bug. Haven't seen this in a while though!

It is a known bug - but it's so incredibly rare most veterans don't even know about it

I had the luck of finding out about it from some crappy newb thread on ggnet

i've spent hours trying to reproduce it so that i could build rush strategies around it, but to no avail hydras also do it

this happened to me once on hamachi, some stimpacked marines tried to run up a ramp blocked by goons and ended up running back and forth insanely fast, then there was a brief drop screen and they glitched through the goons (i assume they were running so fast they clipped straight through their collision box). was the game played on hamachi? my best guess is that it's caused by some sort of network desync trying to sort itself out

I must be lucky or something, but I've had this bug in 3 games during my playing "career" It's quite fun, first time it happened I didn't know it existed and I was like "Hey where did those 2 zlots go...they were like here a second ago, and now they're across the map?" Then I checked the minimap and noticed they were moving so fast, I could barely catch them to see wtf is happening
Complete the cycle!

Well...

I Had my lurks do this on luna just last month I think. Also in late winter in a Nex D game I saw someones vessel shotting around the map so fast I could barely see it. I stopped everything in awe of the speed I saw from the vessel. I have seen many more units do this bug. I wonder how it is done. The guy with the vessel seemd to know how to do it since he was not shocked and didn't type anythiing.

Obviously, these are veteran SC units who, through the trials of countless battles and wars, have honed their reflexes and agility to exceed the petty speed of the normal recruit.

rofl that would be so good.

Unfortunately they only seem to do it when they've gotten jammed up and lost ground, then they break even by turbo running. I've never seen a Hydra or Zeal just rocket boost forward for no reason.

It happened to me once on RoV. My zealots were heading to the middle of the map, and two of them got stuck.

They would try getting out of each others way, but couldn't. So, I just stayed watching them, seeing how long they would be stuck like that.

Then, they literally sped across the map.

I was like O_O!

If you watch the two zealots on slowest you can see that they are both in different groups, the one on the bottom in the top group, and the one on the top in the bottom group. The two groups were told to go to top and bottom so the zealots tried to go to their positions but ran directly into each other, being perfectly matched up and trying to get around each other they probably sped up a little to prevent things like this from happening, but instead either zealot going around the other, they both tried to do it at the same time so they ran to the doodad on the left and turned around and ran all the way to the cliff on the right, which had a small difference in surface so the zealots broke apart and headed to the right spots at the normal speed.
