I use to do the "move - hold" way but was told it was wrong. I've been doing "move -a move" style for a few months now. Basically which one is the right way? I'm sorry if this seems a little noobie, but the OTHER forums can't get a straight answer, and even my 2k + buddies offer no help. | ||

I believe there's a-move -> move move -> stop move -> hold position | ||

That way all your guys are at least trying to get in the fight when engaging, and not running away without stuttering when retreating. | ||

and move -> hold position would be most useful stutter-stepping away (to get a last shot in when retreating or to avoid/delay getting surrounded or closed in on). I'm no expert though | ||

I would just do what you feel most comfortable with. practice a few different ways. I personally like a+move ground then rclick move to cancel animation rinse & repeat | ||

Because the a-move -> move is exponentially harder since it's twice as many clicks If it's just twice as many clicks, it's not exponentially harder - it's only twice as hard. The differences aren't really that huge. With all 3 methods, if there are enemy units within attacking distance, your units will stand in place and attack. What changes if there aren't units within immediate attacking distance of your units: A-move: your units will automatically move forward to attack, even if the enemy is out of the unit's sight range Stop command: your units will automatically move forward to attack, only if the enemy is in the unit's sight range Hold Command: your units won't move at all to try to attack a unit that isn't in attacking distance. Hold Command is prob. the worst, and I would think A-move is the best. But the differences between any of the methods are small, and there may be specific situations where one is better than the other. | ||

It's not any harder than stop or hold imo. More clicks =/= difficulty. That is like someone saying "Zerg early game is WAAAY harder than toss or Terran. I have to press S AND D to make my first drone AND I have to send out my first overlord. zomg Zerg imba!!" | ||

Move Stop(or Hold) when you're running. (Or when you're using marines because they have such a high attack rate.) This way, you don't have to move your mouse. Also, it's Stutter Step, not Studder Step. | ||
