Do you ask him to play a standard strat (not cheese or macro cheese) so you can practice against that or do you ask him to practice with you without specifying?
When someone asks me to practice I always ask what they feel like working on and I try to hit you with it as hard and consistantly as I can. Yes he cheeses, but it's also useful to know what type of plays you flat out die to.
if you want to improve on specific elements of the game why don't you fucking ask me to do something specific instead of asking me to play "games".
Any time you've done that, I've been happy to comply. Notice how the other day when I was trying to flesh out airtossVz I kept doing the same thing and asking you to do specific things?
e: hi phobo :3
This is true of n00b. In my early days, he played Terran against me as Protoss so I could learn to parry early Terran pushes. It's because he kept forcing me to think of how to beat a standard midgame Terran pressure as Protoss (I tried early charge, then HTs) that I ultimately kept playing or watching for ways to deal with it. Now I know that if its incoming then I should stay on 1 Base, FF my ramp, stay on 3 Gate, tech to Colossus, and split his army with FF to do as much as possible. Also, observers are wonderful. Our very few PvPs have also made me a bit more vigilant about Protoss drops and how powerful they are if unscouted or especially if the army is out of position to deal with it.Quote:

Zerg is difficult for me right now given there are a lot of ways to defend and harass, making every game a true feat as players get better and better. I held off a Baneling bust relatively easily, but I still lost because I was too timid to expand to my natural (I was ridiculously stupid for that) and gave him long enough to mass Mutas for harassing my two bases at the 25 minute mark. Really bad game for me. Could have severely weakened him at one point too and didn't take the opportunity.
Phobo add me. :( Jasiwel 444
phobo doesn't play sc2 any more. also you should _always_ 1gate FE vs terran, you can do it and hold any push with proper scouting and reactionary unit compositions. I've not done any other build for like 1.5 years.
I'll play, just don't expect me to be a useful practice partner, I don't know the current ladder meta and I don't know standard play.Quote:

Well, that seems pretty abysmal. And when I say abysmal, I mean “who thought this would be a good idea?”

To be fair, the FPS has two dads. Which is why churches and governments hate them so.
Definitely worth the read.
