i just tested with hold and stop inside it.

protoss still built gas T.T

if you are testing it vs an ai, you will find that you cant block the gas.
another person had the same problem here until he tried it on ladder: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1d4a5e/scv_glitch_hiding_in_a_vespene_geyser/c9muhys

No need to worry Protoss. There is a simple solution. Just build the assimilator right over the SCV.

The bug gets the SCV stuck in some sort of special building hover mode which prevents collision with buildings. So, since the SCV doesn't collide with buildings, you can throw down a building on top of him anyways. In this case, a refinery/extractor/assimilator.

At best, this is a way to keep an SCV in an enemy base without being hit until the opponent gets a ranged unit. However, it can't block anything.

You shouldn't be losing your scouting SCV to any melee units early game anyway

Cool thing about this is that u can build over the scv but the scv can also attack the extractor / assimlator / refinery from the inside.

In the video you built with the second scv a refinery on top of the first scv.
But does it block your enemy from building his gas?

okay i guess it works, but what happenes to the scv when the enemy gas finishes? can it still move? can it still be targeted?

but you can put multiple scvs on a single vespene geyser. If you ever wanted to have a party in a refinery or something.



Somebody please get Carbot to make a video based on this.

This is probably the first glitch thread I've seen on TL that didn't have anyone say something like "Meh, this was known since beta..." Great find!

This might also be really good if going cc first against zerg. You can see if he takes the third or goes for an all in.

Imagine the face of your opponent if you able to save a scv that way!

Replay of me doing this against a gold protoss.
I steal both his gas and he goes 2gate forge. Please pardon the terrible reaper micro, but you get the idea.

It seems like this isn't a threat against good toss who correctly block their gas, but below diamond it seems to have a decent win rate.

Pretty sure 5 rax marines overpowers cannons. I could be wrong I suppose, but I believe it does.

They don't, unless P wasn't expecting it and only has like 1 cannon.

Probably a reaper follow up would be best. In WOL the only thing that truly hardcountered nexus first tvp fwas proxy 2rax which is not possible with this. Any pre medivac timing can be held easily with cannons zealots and probe pull. I've done it hundreds of times. But since it wasn't a popular build chances are protosses suck at executing it. However the faster reaper in hots could probably deal with it easily. I want to see a good game where someone uses this before it gets patched! Get to work terrans!

If I were you I would not post this.
