thats a stupid thing to say and a bad mentality.
True, but I think it's more stupid to play sc2 with a xbox360.controller.


I would like to know your arguments about that.

Cress that's really good. I tried it just for fun with a ps3 controller and... no lol. It's not for me. I prefer my mouse and keyboard. Good job and good luck for breaking into high master

Did you get the 220 APM number from SC2Gears? What's your EAPM according to SC2Gears? I'm just curious.


My EPM Is something like 150. You might place too much faith on APM though XD. Maybe I'm not the fastest player on the planet, but at the very least it should show people what can be done with lower APM's. That is assuming 200 apm is low.

That's real time APM right? Not Blizzard time APM.
150 EAPM is like Korean pro level.

I think i could make it to Grandmasters with just a controller. Getting Grandmasters for me isn't hard at all normally so I think i got a chance with a controller.

Once you get there with an Xbox controller I suggest you try steering wheel controller next.
Actually I want to see someone play with a kinect style interface. I wonder if I've still got my LEDs and reflective tape.
I will reduce you to a series of numbers.

Everyone so anxious to proclaim how "easy" the game is for them, but achieving top 200 on any server shouldn't be considered "easy," as it takes a lot of time and effort. You shouldn't need to belittle others' accomplishments to inflate your ego.

And honestly, if you think you can achieve GM with an Xbox 360 controller, then why not try it yourself?

I have no idea how you would get the steering wheel to function as a mouse though. If it were possible though I would imagine you could easily drone rush someone and beat a bronze player. Would people pay good money to see that XD?

For me it isn't that hard to get very high gm. I know it takes a while and effort of course i never said otherwise. Yeah well if i had a controller to do it with i would def try... why not. But if i get one i will.

When I played WoW I did a similar setup. (Although I used shoulder buttons to modify other buttons, I had a bazillion combinations of buttons available).

On a WoW game, it is damn easy. On SC? Not so much, you need quick and precise touches on the joystick. You need to position your cursor on a very specific point of the screen with accuracy and speed. I don't know how you do that.

Hotkeys are not really a problem, the precision is. How many levels of precision does the 360 analog has, anyway?

Protoss... aka the A-Move Race. Not surprising you can play this race with a Gamepad.

When I started playing star craft 2. I was already playing WOW doing end game raids with the game pad. It was not enough to prepare me for playing Star craft 2 though. Precision with the analog stick takes a lot of practice and time getting used to it.

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question being asked though. What do you mean levels of precision?

Good luck Cress! I know you can make it since you are battle tested from plat to diamond and now to masters. Just one more step or two. I myself started low and I guess it is just the amount of time you put in to master a craft.

Don't listen to all the haters they are probably wood league scrubs and got nothing to do.

And to all zerg who hate on protoss and terran, WTF?? Can't handle it? Why the QQ and butthurt?!? fucking switch race if u can't handle it, don't cry for balance you shitards! It is just the game saying you cant handle zerg because you are too retard to make drones instead of units then panic and make wrong units when under attack not having the right units/buildings available to respond. SHUT UP and suck dick!

Pretty embarassing for SC2 more than anything else. Try getting B+ in BroodWar and I'll be impressed...

Indeed, that is a challenge. I was D(lower ranking)/D+ on ICCup, and now am Diamond in SC2 without any practice.

That is false.

Most koreans have ~200+ eapm. There are a couple that get near 250 such as Yonghwa and DRG, probably lots of others too.
