You guys had a lot of constructive criticism for last season, so we've fixed everything, and made sure that this season would be better than ever!
Description: We are the SC2 Mythbusters! It's a lot like the show - we put user-submitted myths relating to Starcraft to the test. The myths range from common things like "the kills on high templars are added when warped into archons" to crazy things like "a viking's portrait changes when it transforms." Feel free to send in anything you are wondering about the Starcraft universe; we'll put it to the test!
We put up new episodes every Friday, so be sure to either tune in then or subscribe to be notified for all new videos! Check out our channel at http://www.youtube.com/SC2Mythbusters
Email us myths at SC2mythbusters@gmail.com
Thanks for the submissions!
Sc2Mythbusters
P.S. Someone made us a Liquidpedia page! I don't know who did it, but you rock!
Season 1: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=222046

Woot, good to see the show back up.
|
Well, I thought EMP really did a number on hallucinations, guess I was wrong.
|
I like these, fun and useful.
|
Do you have a list of all the myths tried?
|
Lets see how long it takes until it runs out

I think he means a compiled list. It would be nice to have them in the original post (separated by episode under spoilers, for example).
|
I dont know if this has been done or not already, or if it's even a big deal, but you can drop changelings directly on banelings (selecting unload and then clicking on the baneling) and the baneling will detonate.
Your welcome 
|
this is great. however i do feel some of the myths are rather nooby. i mean the sensor tower one SHOULD be well known by all starcraft players by now. i feel like you guys should work more on the ones that are harder to test (e.g. archon forcefield or graviton) great work though
|
oh god why do i like it and want to watch more?! :D
good job 
|
Make it more like the tv show where they hype something up for 10 minutes with long ass commercial breaks in between and then completely overreact to the result PP
I liked the first season but I felt it moved too quickly... lol. But I don't think you can really do anything about that

Well, it's kind of hard to come up with excellent myths for every episode, we'd run out! We don't do completely absurd ones, but we like to have a mix of really "out there" myths for the experienced players and more "general knowledge" myths for the new ones.

Yeah I wouldnt mind more filler in-between various tests.

Ah, I see. OP has been updated.

With the submissions from community members, and things we've thought of on our own, that should be quite some time from now!
But keep submitting though!
sc2mythbusters@gmail.com

These are awesome. Perfectly formatted too. I wouldn't change a thing.
|
Nice to see you're back, always liked these kind of curiousity shows
|
|
|
Pretty interesting topics. Good stuff!
|
If you're starting a new "season" it should go from episode 1 again XD
just saying
great stuff
|
Haha very nice. Surely learned a few things from today's episode.
|
wow, very nice show. can't believe season 1 finished without me having ever heard of it. :o
if I have some interesting questions, I'll submit them for sure!
|
|
|
Thanks for the support everyone! It's you guys who keep this show comin' each week!

Nice show. Only comment I have is in the video where you graviton beam the baneling and then kill it using another phoenix to see if it also hurts ground units, the beam runs out just as the other phoenix is about to kill the baneling, so, what happens is the baneling falls right into the slings below and obviously it'll detonate automatically so I think that one might need a redo?

Nice stuff, mineral stack repairing on flying stuff is pretty crazy.

Check out Episode 7

The gravaton beam on infestor thing is so cool, feel like this is a potential counter to Neural that was never considered, something that could have delayed a nerf. Very cool show :D
|
Grav beaming the infestors was pretty well known, the problem is that fungal growth makes general phoenix play really dangerous. So you're using them as one trick ponies and you don't really even know if the zerg is even going for neural or not.
|
Actually i tought you mean, you beam up the unit which getting NP'd not the infestor, this way looked way too obvious
|
is it possible to neural a medivac and heal zerg units in 1v1?
and is it possible to neural a full medivac and drop the units onto banelings?
|
"A medivac can load and unload units while fungal growth'd.", this is true by the way, just tested it to make sure.
|
Look forward to this all the time.
|
If you neural parasite a morphing brood lord / baneling / overseer, you can cancel it. When you cancel it, does it return the resources to you, or your opponent?
You can't cancel archons unfortunately, and if you neural two templar (high or dark) you still can't make archons out of them :D
Also something that crossed my mind : Can interceptors attack their mother carrier?
|
Hey guys. I watched an episode and thought it was pretty neat. I will probably watch more when I have time later.
If it is possible you should make it even more like the Mythbusters television show by having 2 people talk about each Myth before showing revealing the in game footage. So it would be 2 people in front of the camera, one briefly explains what the myth is and the rationale behind it and then they each make a prediction.
Then you can allow for ongoing commentary, humor, silly comments, arguing or whatever kind of things might add to the entertainment value.

We already did that in EP1 ^^
|
What is required to Chrono boost a hatchery? Can you chrono your ally's hatchery if you share control?
|
Only way to chrono a hatchery is to steal a probe with neural parasite and build your own nexus. Can't chrono an ally's stuff, and even if they drop out, giving you total control of their buildings.
|
Uh, you did EMP revealing changeling, and said it was busted, but as far as I could tell, it made the marine move, which a normal marine would not do, so in a sense it does reveal it, no?

Haha I misread it, thought you said it can't, never mind
|
I've got a myth you can bust: Hydras are slow.
Of course, all you have to do is look in Liquipedia or in game, but who bothers themselves with facts?

Well, by "revealing" the changeling, we meant revealing the blueish/purplish tint that the zerg player sees.

|
what if you neural parasite a pheonix then have that pheonix pick up the infestor neural parasiting it
|
hai2u, how about testing if the 1% miss chance is present in sc2 lol?
|
you tested if lifting the infestor cancels neural and it does
does it cancel neural if you lift the neuraled unit?

What the hell, a Chrono'D Barracks flies faster? Shenanigans.

woahhh that chronod rax flies so fast !
these are great, keep em comin
|
Will a chrono-boosted creep tumor spread creep faster or generate cooldown faster?

Hey nice show! Keep it up
Sadly you made one error in the last video:
You falsely confirmed that a marine, which is being build in a reactor, gets cancled if the reactor dies.
This is not the case It just gets queued to the marine building in the barracks.
---> you dont need to give an additional train command to get the 2nd marine.

Also, does the second marine start building from scratch or does it continue at the point when the reactor was destroyed. I'm 99% sure it starts from scratch, but hey, more material
|
I love mythbusting releated to games! Good job on the show so far, hope it will continue some more ^__^
Edit: Cant remember if this has been done, but what happens if a nydus full with units gets destroyed? Doed the unit that killed it get the kills?
|
The marine that is built from a reactor is stopped if the reactor is destroyed. Ti will continue from the same training time as it was on when the reactor was destroyed, and will continue after the first marine. So if you build 2 marines and the reactor is destroyed at 50% then the second marine will start att 50% when the first marine is out.
|
Do "can you recall fungaled units?".
|
I haven't seen any myth but can you neutral parasite overlord/warp prism/medivac?
If yes: What if it has units inside?
|
awesome they are back !!!

Ofc it starts after the currently building marine from the barracks is complete.
Like i said: the marine from the reactor gets QUEUED behind the marine from the barracks(it gets added to the barracks on 2nd position after the building one).
Cancel would mean that its completely gone and you just get one marine if you dont add more commands, which is wrong because you do get two marines infact. Just the build time of both marines is a bit longer because it doesnt get produced simultaneously anymore obviously.

How about this myth: You can't put a force field within the attraction radius of a vortex.
