Blistering sands has a longer rush than Crap Station... Really?

Thanks for the research. Scrap Station seems further than Blistering Sands but both are bad maps so whatever.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot!

Do you know if there is any precise and up to date chart somewhere with all unit speeds?

Hang onto your hats--I'm writing a tool that opens a map file and computes shortest path distance in map units.

@Draken
If you know or figure out what the units (measurement) of unit (zergling, etc.) speed is I can include the equation.

For instance, zergling unit speed is some wacky number like 2.591, but is that number in map cells/game second or what?

nicely done, well presented data...

sheesh, desert oasis is so obnoxious with its ground traveling distance, and the shorter air distance and 2 seperate ground path just doesn't really help it : /

Very interesting to see the huge disparity between the different Metalopolis times. Especially as opposed to how close together the Kulas Ravine times are.

I couldn't find any other threads on rush distances so I'm bumping this since it's still pretty relevant, also I'm looking for the rush distance on Xel Naga Caverns and the 2v2 maps, if anyone has a source (2v2 maps less important).

I wrote a tool to do this automatically, the SC2 Map Analyzer. I'm in the middle of improving it and adding features, so it has some undocumented changes, but you can grab the 1.3.2 version that can handle the post-release map format.

If you don't feel like fiddling with it, I'll run it when I get home from work and make another chart with the new ladder maps.

Hmm, tricky. map analyzer thinks the rock-blocked third on Delta Quadrant should be the natural because its so close by distance... gotta fiddle with code to get the right rush distances.

Updated the OP with measurements for the current 1v1 ladder maps.

If you are dying to know 2v2 I can do that, but I have to figure out exactly what to measure. Do main2main or nat2nat mean as much on a 2v2 map? I'd think choke2choke is key for a shared-base map. I don't play 2v2 though, so if A) you want to know 2v2 data and B) you have a good suggestion for what to calculate AND C) I can use the map analyzer to get it, I'll make that chart, too.
