that formula doesnt make me sense... u can use one multiplier instead:
BW APM= SC2APM x 1,66

but where u get this number? i wanna find it using basic statistics from tl.net users.

I read a thread a while ago saying Fastest on BW was 1.2x real speed and 1.38x was from http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Game_Speed

Btw, mine is 200 BW apm and 125 SC2 apm

From what I noticed from my replays, (not sure didn't test it fully), is when you spam a button and u get "Not enough minerals" or something simulair like that, it won't count as a Action.

I think BWChart uses 1 minute real time on Fastest for its "minute" (all other timings in BWChart do this--check the build times in BWChart then go check them in a replay if you want to confirm) ... so BWChart APM is actually actions per minute on Fastest.

So the division by 1.2 shouldn't be there in Kinky's first formula.

He's right. One day I played a game on slow for shits and giggles, and we both had a zillion apm when we looked at the rep in BW chart. When the replay was sped up to fastest, we both looked so ridiculously pro. BWChart definitely uses a real minute, not a game minute. I have no idea about SC2.

Ok I tested it...
"Not enough minirals" clicking doesn't count, even though you shouldn't get that many of this over the period of the game, apart from start, or just when you click twice your hotkey when training a unit, but that is what, max 5 APM less? but I guess i sums up with the lower APM from SC2

Your graph clearly does not pass the vertical line test.

Nice idea with the graph, but I would suggest that you just plot the points, with no line.
