this isn't really a guide. Just a neat trick.

You can achieve the same effect, by right clicking on another muta.OL move so slowly this trick is impractical. I think most pros have been using various techniques for muta stacking for a while already.

What do you mean it has nothing to do with anything? Unless you have an OL in position, then it is difficult to use this trick for any practical aggression. In ZvT and ZvP, you don't get to camp one place very often and reign glaves, most of it is hit and run. Snipe an scv and move on, you don't get to work on a group of depots for 20 seconds. ZvP is the same but even more so. Also, its not necessary. If you spam move command in the same spot, your mutas will stack the exact same way. I don't mean to be a jerk, but I just don't see the application for this trick in most real in game situations.

Do I not undertstand this trick then? You have to keep your mutas on move command or they will natural disperse correct? So if you plan to stack them, you have to get them to stack, then move to the position you want them. If there is no OL nearby, and you want to stack your mutas, then you are going to right click spam on another muta and move in the same way. If I am missing something please let me know.

U just have to group an OL with your mutas. And because you have another unit farer away from your mutas the group "behaves" in another way than they would with only the mutas selected, no extra clicks required.

However, i suck at SC:BW and SC2, thats just what i read over the years..., so im maybe wrong about the mechanics, but the statement itself should be true.

So the OL just need to be in the control group in order to work?

Ok, thanks. Sorry about my comments then. I didn't understand how the trick worked. Going to have to mess around with this later.

The greatest part about muta stacking in BW is that you can achieve a ton of damage with just as little as 6 mutas, so you can hit a serious macro & tech (like lurker + upgrades) path whilst doing a lot of damage with a small harrassment group.
Picking off turrets non stop, marines on edge of marine balls, scvs, & if you are JD godliness you can just outright win the game.

In SC2; they don't stack as efficiently still and the turrets do so much damage to small muta numbers, this still doesn't open up any new tier to TvZ. Marines clump much tighter too so whenever you attack 1 marine you have nearly half the ball raining fire at you also. Later on, the clump is good, but thors should be present by then too.

heh , was using this at the begining of sc2 because I had brood war reflexes to group mutas with ovie.. still, just clicking them to move back and forth again seems to stack them pretty good .. maybe I should try with ovie again :D

Has anyone given this a shot with a burrowed Zergling? I have read that that worked in BW as well, and has the advantage that the Zergling won't ever actually move toward your Muta flock and have to be moved far away again.

I thought this only worked in BW, but I guess it sorta carried over to SC2.

A lot of BW AOE spells were actually kinda bullshit for what its worth but progamers still kept stacking mutas together (for example BW storms actually pretty much kill off tanks in a matter of seconds and decimate worker lines and there's no avoiding irradiate, you had to split the irradiated muta away from the flock). So I wonder if it's going to be the same here in SC2. Though fungal kinda screws everything up.

uh you can also click right infront of mutalisks and thety will group up in a tight ball temporarily just for the moment to perhaps target a turret or something.
