What is the fastest Banshee cheese that you can go post 1.1.2? I can maybe get one out ~6:00 but there must be a way to do it faster using a 8 supply, 9 rax and having only 12 SCVs.

I guess I should have a more legit question: What is best way to train multitask?

If you could name three builds that EVERY bronze level, hoping to rise up Terran should learn, what would they be?

And how do you micro the marines? You just move them back and press s and keep doing the same thing right? For some reasons my marines always stop firing for a second.. I know the pros do it in certain way that marines always keep shooting as they move back so I was wondering if you know how to do it

I am so good at playing as Protoss 8-9 wins out of 10 but horrible at Terran.. like 1 or 2 wins out of 10. I'm Diamond 800 points. Haven't played in so long so my bonus pool is like 900 points lol..

What are some of the basic builds/stuff/timings I need to know as Terran?

Stutter shooting is more of a mouse technique then a keyboard one.

a) select group of marines

b) right click a small distance away <--->

c) tap h here <-*-> to allow for your marines to stop moving and fire

d) right click again to continue kiting <--->

basically you want to mess around with the unit until your comfortable with the attack animation and can consistantly fire without missing a shot. then you want to learn to do this while macroing. and finally you want to learn to do this while using terrain - moving behind choke points or narrow passage ways to allow minimal surface area to be attacked - and of course stim / spread.

TvT is my favorite MU truthfully. I usually open 1/1/1 as well. Take your 2nd gas relatively early. In my opinion the early agressor, if able to hold a contain, can most often times win. What a contain depends on is having the superior number of vikings. So open 1/1/1, after 3 marines make a reactor. Tech lab asap on factory, make starport, make tank, make viking, make 2nd tank, then get siege mode. After 2 or maybe 3 vikings, put the starport in the reactor, and start producing x2 vikings. Bring some SCVs when you go to contain your opponent and build some bunkers and also turrets. Have your marines hold position so they dont go running into tank fire when your opponent gets some shots off. If you have more vikings and can control air space so your tanks can fire when the opponents tanks cannot, you will win many TvT battles. Also, the only real way you can lose this is a drop into your main that wipes you out. So you build turrets all around the map and outside your opponents base so he is really contained and can't fly out with dropships. Nothing worse than owning him with a contain, only to have him drop you with 3-4 dropships and wipe u out.
