Starcraft 2 - Terran Basics (part 1)

[TheFreckledGinger]

Such bad quality :(

[punish0]

where is Thor? -.-

[PixelatedPro]

all these strategies are pre-patch

[bolognaslam]

@PixelatedPro I believe the word you're looking for is beta. And yes, you're right.

[XXStanno]

lol the viking is a land unit and a ground unit :P

[dxidaniel]

You have to research concussive shells at the tech lab for marauders to slow enemies

[merkaba48]

Try putting a handkerchief over your microphone to cut down on the frequency spikes; your recorded voice kinda hurts my ears. Very useful vid, otherwise. Thanks!

[ivittie]

There's so much to think about in this game! I think its really cool but maan its hard to get in to..

[educassiano]

I don't see Thor. What are the uses, and stuff for Thor?

[bolognaslam]

@educassiano I missed it here and briefly touched on it in another video. Think of it as a really big marine with area effect against air targets. It's a great addition to almost any land army because of the flexibility it provides. Just make sure you compliment it with mixed ground forces or you can lose them quickly to units like Immortals.

[educassiano]

@bolognaslam Ok, thanks there.

[Bestatreyu11]

Terran FTW

[vintagegodz]

Love these people whom give you shit, yet they have no videos helping the newbie community because they're just "Too damn good" chill the hell out and cut this guy some slack, the tutorial was great for newbies man. Thanks.

[mochalucha]

heres my terran guide. when engaging press T, den roll your head around your keyboard. you still win

[Spazzosity]

what do you use to record the video? please reply back.

[bolognaslam]

@Spazzosity Fraps for video and audacity + mic for audio. please read this.

[bjdotson]

What is the best combination to have in a 2v2?

[bolognaslam]

@bjdotson There is no real best combination as it's dependent on player skill and how you work together. Probably the easiest is a Terran/Protoss combination. If both players are aggressive and fast two Zerg are strong, too.

[crankthatrunescape]

Thanks helped alot!

[zombiemash88]

"the viking is both a land unit and a ground unit" 1:30

[TheMightyTopher]

Good vid man

[undeadsouljaboy1]

Hey what do u think is the best race?

[bolognaslam]

@undeadsouljaboy1 Not sure. I think.... Terran, Zerg and Protoss are the top three.:P

In all seriousness, it looks like there are more Terran players than anything, so it could technically be them, but you can lose to any race and win as any race. Just pick your favorite!!

[flyliketails]

@bolognaslam Most of the top-tier players seem to be Protoss. Terran seem to be the least populated.

[1TmanTM]

@undeadsouljaboy1 protoss definatly

[gunnerjaxx]

haha your name is flapjack lololol

[bolognaslam]

@gunnerjaxx haha actually it's Flopjack lololol

[gunnerjaxx]

@bolognaslam huh sounded like flap jack when you said it and isnt your user nameon youtube bolognaslam

[bolognaslam]

@gunnerjaxx Yes, and if I could I would change it to Flopjack. :(

[scottcj9109]

begining of vid is full of so much fail. rofl.

[bolognaslam]

@scottcj9109 Care to explain? :)

[0Bonaparte]

I hate misclicks first I clicked it clicked disliked (although it's great)

[bolognaslam]

@0Bonaparte What?! Noo!! You've tainted my YouTube forever!!!!! :P

[0Bonaparte]

@bolognaslam if it makes you feel better i liked twice to make up for it (and don't blame me blame my iPod Touch) :p

[0Bonaparte]

@bolognaslam if it makes you feel better i liked twice (i blame my iPod Touch for the misclick i hit the like but it decided i didn't like the vid i liked on my computer to eliminate that possibility of it happing again)

[Agomongo1235]

@0Bonaparte O COME ON lol ur the only one who disliked

[sharpezor]

i have not seen that bunker mineral block before in the pro games, wonder why it looks genius.

[AZNxBanMido]

@sharpezor usually people will try to harras and rush early so people don't really prefer but heck I'm trying that today xD.

[RSGxWORKx]

The viking both a land unit and ground unti... :|

[K1LO11]

Awesome vid helped a lot.

[Runepriest3]

You can't negate the abilities of the... uh whats it called? Ah, Orbital Command! :D

[Pein0666]

THOR IS NOT HERE

[serumclx]

sweet tips 

[mattvibe1]

snipe rounds cannot attack everything...

[MBravo1313]

you should add me DarkRider - 306 it would be fun to play with and against you, (mostly with, i'm pretty noob).

[theloveshineatheist]

damn this shits complicated I might buy the bradygames guide

[HaWAzNN]

lol in the beginning like 1:33 he calls the viking a land and ground unit :)

[IcedPhoenix666]

Oh you can lower your SD... I had no idea!!

[bolognaslam]

@IcedPhoenix666 Yay information!

[CoolBreeze055]

Ty for helping me, I never played against anything but the computer in the original starcraft, and so far in starcraft 2, but I think ill practice a bit now offline then take it online and give it a shot

[MrStoatcakes]

Jesus Christ I have never hard such a useless introduction to anything. And then one time, in band camp, I took this and I did that and multiplied it by X which is something you MUST do and then X unit, that you MUST use at this point etc etc. Not saying you don't know your Starcraft but this has no relevance to the basics of the game

[bolognaslam]

@MrStoatcakes Wrong. This is ESSENTIAL for those who are new to Starcraft; the basics. You may know more and I may know more, but people who are new to RTS to new to Starcaft within RTS are literally clueless. This is what these videos were made for. (made during beta so things have changed) I've received hundreds of thank yous and comments on how helpful these were.

The real question is why are you, a pro at Starcraft, watching basic learning guides? ;)

[MrStoatcakes]

No I'm a complete noob! It's because of this I couldn't comprehend the video, the commentary and pace is simply too fast and I think there are too many assumptions of general knowledge of the game when the focus is on a specific area. Perhaps I've misinterpreted the purpose of the video and it's not designed for players at the stage I'm at.

That said, I did make my point quite rudely last night. I've slapped myself on the wrist - sorry!

[bolognaslam]

@MrStoatcakes In that case, more specifically, this video is for those who have played an hour or so of SC2 or SC. :)

[mikeeli]

@bolognaslam Well, I've just started SC2 a few days ago and I think that this video is pretty helpful to me in terms of building locations. I've gotta try that mineral blockage one of these days. Thanks for the help.

[narutolll]

@bolognaslam I just wanted to say that you took MrStoatcakes message very well. I would have been really pissed off and offended by that and i was because this did help me, so i would have said something mean back at him and tried to offend him... lol.

Thanks for the video it helped me alot!

[bolognaslam]

@narutolll I should be thanking YOU. Thanks for the replies and views. :)

[havocnuke9000]

starcraft 2 is an out dated style of rts they need to get with the times like maby adding stratigic zoom for a start and no more rock paper scissors style of game

[bridaco]

@havocnuke9000 /facepalm It's nice to know your lack of gaming knowledge.

[havocnuke9000]

@bridaco 1 i do not lag in gaming noledge but the game is lacking in features like it to small

[Skaterpunk444]

I thought it was pretty well explained...not too fast talking and not bad quality...so stop hating on someone who is just trying to help out. I've played starcraft for years...but havent played in forever and got my games handed to me when I started starcraft 2...so this has refreshed my memories of old times a bit!

[numbah1pinoy]

Very good tutorial for beginners to the game, very informative! Thanks! :D

[Yesitsmefabian]

Spells...

[bolognaslam]

@Yesitsmefabian Listen...

[pablomon3]

uh, i suggest speaking slower...

[bolognaslam]

@pablomon3 Haven't you heard? The faster you speak the faster you play! This is a high APM game! :D

[madrabidfish]

where's the Thor! =(

[MrCrazyboy149]

jeez man what game poop't you out

[bolognaslam]

@MrCrazyboy149 Err, what game poop't me out? What now?

[TayZandeewannabe]

The viking is a land and ground unit... :D

[WLuico]

spells!??? wtf.. this isn't warcraft or spell bound strategy whatever you play

Jeez I just hate Sc2 new comers they have no idea about Sc1..

[bolognaslam]

@WLuico Chill out dude. I've played SC1 for years. What would you call them? Abilities? Skills? Flying potatoes?

[MegaDUMBNAME]

@bolognaslam FLYING SPAGHETI MONSTER

[WLuico]

@WLuico flying potatoes! nah lol abilities, you could say spells for protoss, ghost has abilities; I mean it just sounds magicky but know that I wasn't really aiming my message to you, you're vids are informative! and I know a lot will come to Sc2 but I was saying about other new Sc2 comers, I mean if you get what I mean

[sirshmooppy]

@WLuico does it matter what he calls them

[smduchode4life]

@WLuico dude there made by the same people as warcraft dip shit you need to learn abit more befor you talk

[ampdgmr]

@WLuico They are actually called spells, even korean progamers from sc1 term them 'spells' ... and 'magic units' ... fucking retard.

[demohunto3]

nice tips for noobs, but use hotkeys man clicking takes time away from you.

[bolognaslam]

@demohunto3 I do, but I will sometimes purposely click because people follow your mouse movements; just to show where things are. ;)

[nick997fly]

Right now, i can hang with people until the 5 min mark when they make star ports or whatever, the only thing is, while i have enough minerals and resources, i dont understand how to make the starport, can anyone help me out? or a video?

[pandemonic01]

don't know why this never occured to me that maybe the scv's are harvesting crystal meth. So that's where Stimpack comes from. lol

[armst012]

Good stuff, I'm stinking up the place right now. I need all the help I can get.
