I think the greatest endorsement I can give the Staircase is that it's got me to play 171 games since I started it on 31 December.. that's 42 days which gives an average of 4 per day.. which is a rate of play I never would have come close to prior to using it (more like 10 per week). I didn't suffer from ladder anxiety exactly, but playing was always slightly stressful and I'd want to feel like I was somehow at my best to venture onto the ladder. As a result if I was tired or didn't have any time to warm up or whatever I'd give it a miss or just practice in a build order tester. However now any free moment I just go straight to the ladder and rack up some games! I feel like this is hugely beneficial as despite the fact that I've managed to divorce myself quite soundly from the importance of winning or losing any given game, playing against a human player still gives an added bonus to concentration and focus which I just don't feel when playing against AI/in a build tester. Also I think there's a real benefit to just playing on a daily basis for reinforcing muscle memory/mechanics which this has allowed. So yeah, all in all I think the Staircase is working brilliantly for me; it's caused me to play much more regularly, focus harder on weak areas in my game and overall is making me a fundamentally better mechanical player, great job Jak! PS. Jak if you're still looking for replays of people doing the various steps I'm sure I could find a step 3 zerg replay to provide you with that I'm not totally mortified to have anyone see. | ||

But since the supply cap is going to more likely be higher the longer the game is played maybe make it a ratio of game time:supply cap time. Just started this, and really like it, used to be top diamond a long time ago and this is what I need for fun and motiuvation to get my macro back. | ||

Supply cap does not count when you are at 200/200. So each build should have an ideal TSC. For example, when I 4 gate I can get it to 14 seconds. I think, though, on average a GM player will have something like 30 seconds TSC per game or something like that. I don't think time will play a big factor. Also, Here's the 2nd video in the series: | ||

I know I can just estimate a number based on the graph, but are there any other more reliable ways to get the SQ? EDIT: who could've thought you could get to gold league with only lings and blings? I just got promoted! :D GO GO STAIRCASE! The only alternative to getting SQ is http://ggtracker.com/ as far as I know. Haven't used it yet, but they also had a post in general about it. Estimating from the graph is easier said than done tbh, I tried before the past to see how much off I'd be, and especially in longer games with much variance I'd be off by 25% easily. | ||

The difference is that SS is SQ but taking time into account and a lot more data so it is a much more meaningful, accurate statistic to use. It is a leagueified stat which means that all you have to do is upload your replay and see which league ggtracker put you in for your SS. When you hover over the spending skill icon, you get a tooltip giving an SQ: XX value. This should be the 'regular' Spending Quotient, right? | ||

Correct, that is the raw SQ | ||

I signed up for ggtracker, but it asks me to change my current portrait to another portrait without telling me what to change the portrait to! (This is when I try to authenticate my profile). What should I do? | ||

All addons are disabled now, and I used all available vanilla browsers! It calls me "Unknown"! To work around this problem, upload a replay that you played in (vs another human) and then GGTracker will learn that your name is not "Unknown". Then the rest of the signup process will work normally. Sorry bout that!  | ||

I've been using the basic SQ by hovering my mouse over.. this should mean I get a lot more passes :D | ||
