Spam your keyboard as fast as you can, that is your peak APM. Now try and make that spam actually do something? I'm fairly certain anyone with 2 working arms can get over 200 APM if they tried. | ||

500 APM is slow in Gunz my friend. But before making another remark remember that I kind of just brought up a random game to the table. | ||

I am pushing 30 now, but even years ago I couldn't do it. This is pretty interesting. Most responses to this thread so far are like "200APM no problem yo!". Are you actually good at SC2? Because then you'd pretty much be the prime example of what I was talking about earlier. A player who is very good but will always be limited by his rather low APM, thus never being able to reach pro level physically. Btw. are we talking about 80 real APM here, or 80APM displayed in the SC2 APM Tab which would translate to about 120 actual APM? | ||

My last game was 33:25 and I ended up at 40APM with Protoss. The highest APM in a game was 58 APM as Zerg. I do think I could work my way up to 75 APM if I could play 15 games EVERY day. However, I don't have the time to do that consistently. The more I play during a day the higher my APM goes. Senior Circuit for SC2??? | ||

This is completely dependent on the mental aspect of the game. Most every normal person is physically capable of high APM but may not be mentally capable of 200 useful APM. ^Pretty much why I don't get the point of this thread. 200 APM is just over three actions a second, which may sound like a lot but it's really not.. Assuming a normal healthy person, achieving real 200 APM comes with practice practice practice and training. Incontrol isn't a great player because he can rip a city bus in half bare handed, he's a great player because he has dedicated so much time to training and practice. It has been stressed over and over again, APM alone means nothing. So I again I don't understand the point of this thread. | ||

 ). I can usually keep my APM around 120 if I'm on my game, (Yes I'm bad. Cheers!) but I like to think that I could definitely improve. By that thought process, yes I think average people could break 200 apm, but it requires a bit of practice and knowing what you should be doing at every moment in the game. That way, you can easily keep up steady apm throughout even the later stages. I like to think of APM as a measure of how fast your brain is moving as well as how fast your fingers are moving, assuming that it's being put to use. Brains can easily be trained to think faster, it just understands a certain amount of understanding of what you're doing. | ||

Just because they can physically play faster than thier opponent eg. they know the player can only manage 5 drops, so they they drop in 6 places at once Watch some classic Bisu games in BW This is exactly what he does, and its fucking insane. | ||
