lol u can only do this with protoss


I really don't understand this sentiment people seem to have regarding Protoss. Maybe in SC1, but in SC2 Protoss is anything but an "A-move" race. Especially in HotS. I feel like Zerg would be much easier to play with a 360 controller. Not because Zerg is an easier race, but because engaging comes down more to a-moving than Protoss and Terran. Zerg is still difficult, don't misunderstand me, but it's more about setting up flanks. Good positioning, that kind of thing. I feel like with a controller, moving your units into position isn't as much of a difficulty leap from mouse and keyboard to a controller than spell casting is (blink, ff, storm, time warp, etc).

Note: I'm not a defensive Protoss/Terran player trying to put down Zerg. I play random at a mid master level so I do have respect for all the races.

Don't worry, i think you spoke your points clearly and in a manner that i don't think your trying to put down zerg. I'm only a diamond zerg myself, but i agree with you.

I think zvt will be really difficult with a controller as you actually need to multitask. In pvt you can preemptively deny drops with cannons + Ht's. That isn'¨t possible in zvt, and as your camera movement is so slow with an controller it will be a much bigger handicap.

Actually I do quite well in my masters ZvT's I found you can put an ultra and bane ling at the main and the third and the have a powerful drop defense against high multitasking terrans. Each race has its own difficult and easy styles, one race is not necessarily more difficult then another.

Actually double tapping hotkeys works quite well for drop defense
EDIT: also you can have edge scroll set to highest value so in worst case scenario you can use it.

Hmm.It might be worth it to set the value higher on the scroll value, as its how I get around the map. I currently have it at 20% might wanna play around with increasing it some.

Mucho awesome, I just found this and I'm very impressed I've always looked for something like this I'm surprised it didn't come sooner. Again this is fantastic I'm a casual player who uses both clicking and mouse and looking away from my screen with a controller. Now I can play as casually and comfortably since im not upstraight all the time as I want and i'm familiar with half of this type of stuff already!

Actually though the real source of the Gif is from a Music video made in the 90's. Clips of this music video and miniguns game were combined to get what you see in that gif.

The music video can be found here :

It all depends on how you played each race.

I think Zerg would be the easiest to play an aggressive style with an X Box controller.

I think Protoss would be the easiest to play with a defensive style (mech would be easy too).


Nah you can't put each race into box's like that. All the races and turtle and aggressive styles ^_^
