Also regarding ~ I always thought it was just prolonging the last letter or partially the word. (ex. storm~ as in stormmm or stooormm) could be just me though. | ||

I at least never saw it as a feature in SC. watched the first battlereport.. and say someone builds a expo on a high ground with no entrance, early game u have to way to get up and take it out.. with pylon jumping from low to high ground.. u could easily just get up there and do some harassing. | ||

Also I think most people just accidentally ~ when holding shift to make punctuation, and it's right next to enter, too easy to hit ;~) lol at the cheese definition. Too true with the newbies, having trouble getting half my friends to play for fear for zerglings... Thanks again for the nice reports, even though it described a pretty straightforward game it felt almost as if we are there :3 I'll chime in with... gief beta. | ||

It is not a feature, it is an accidental finding as a result of many games played throughout the years.. like muta stacking, patrol micro and all the other small tricks that have been discovered. It is a part of the game now, for better or worse. No reason to not have it in SC2. If there is a trick that is completely imbalanced and ruins the game, it will be banned in league and tournament play and most likely be fixed eventually (see ground unit stacking in SCBW) | ||

Looking from the developers perspective, there's no reason why they should try to make a flawed physics engine just to incorporate a glitch that was present in the first game. It would probably be pretty hard and time consuming (relatively speaking) to get the desired effect as well. And that's why I suspect they haven't and they won't include it. | ||

However, in terms of game balance, some form of worker scouting - pylon/depot/minjumping in SC1 - needs to be duplicated in SC2. On island maps, to not have that would be to give Zerg an absurd scouting advantage. See Monty Hall, Plasma, Arkanoid, etc. So in view of that, some form of worker glitching is necessary for us to have viable islands. Regarding other bugs, such as muta-stacking, to not have it saddens me. What with marines being ever-so-strong, not requiring a range upgrade and adding a health upgrade to boot, weakened muta approach uselessness. But I digress. | ||

Excluding drone/templar float, drone stack attacking, and a few other extreme game changing glitches. Pylon jump is required on maps like outsider, and also mineral mining to get units throw things add an extra gameplay element that adds so much to the spectator sport of starcraft. Crowds love it. Or. You know. We could just wait for new maps for a new game that will probably require use of the new glitches that will be just as popular. | ||
