Spamming the scv to mine resets its mining, so I have more time to move scv away from minerals. Otherwise he is spent for glitching. Will have to try these variants. | ||

I thought only vult's were able to jump from that being the ONLY unit i've ever seen jump on outsider in a pro game. Seems retarded not to use lurkers when the opponent FEs to their backyard.... | ||

It's so blatantly easy to hop a vulture with an add-on, motw Outsider will have me doing this every game vs Zerg if I spawn @ 9. Also, Miracle failed 2 times before hopping vs Lux, someone link him to Liquipedia kthx =) | ||

Is it the same method with every units? Does it also work with more than 1 unit at a time? I'm not sure what game you're refering to as I can't remember it and TLPD seems to have no records on those two playing on that map. Anyway, along with the ghost the zergling is small enough to have 2 fit into the smallest niche. I tried hopping 2 and 4 but their movements appear a bit random when controlled as a group and sometimes you'll get 3 over, sometimes 1 etc. Alternatively you can hop a single ling/ghost over using the same method as described for the vulture. Then again, a single ling isn't going to do much damage so for scouting you might just as well use a drone as workers are easier to hop. If you want to do some backdoor damage I suggest researching burrow and using that to hop as you'll be able to get greater numbers across. | ||

A really good example of what he meant is http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/games/12036_IrOn_vs_ZerO (This is sort of irrelvant now since newest version of Holy World made it much harder to do this.) | ||

Yer ZerO just mamaged to get 3 out of 4 lings over first time and second time wasn't show but he got 6 in total making it worth it if you can pull off the micro. If you simply order the lings to go to the patch the back row ones will hop around trying to get there so you need to manually line them up. | ||
