Starcraft 2 Beginners Guide #3 Hotkeys

[TCGameGuides]

Hey SingleTap are you not making these anymore? i'm really new to SC2 and i was learning a lot from them.

[monkeyace12345]

8 minutes... to explain hot keys?

[raivrp]

4:23 did u really destroy the depot just to pass!?...... my heart ached >.<

[hollywoodMIF]

as far as the script goes, make an outline.... not a script. So you dont repeat yourself, and so you can know what to say next, what needs to be said, etc. But don't ever make a word for word script... ever.

[MarcDonders]

The guide is really helpful. Getting a few tips myself here. But don't shoot ur supply depot; u can lower it with hotkey R. Or just transport ur units over the block with the medivacs (these are hotkeyed to..). Don't know if anybody saw it earlier; but it really struck me that you didn't do it at 4:22

[iLastSpy]

Thanks. But can you hurry the fuck up, waiting 120 seconds per video for you to say something useful is annoying as fuck.

[MgBlazer77]

Im a beginner and these really help!

[razormart]

@MgBlazer77 agreed lol



[monstahtron]

I wanna hear you say "Forgedaboutit" lol PLEASE!!! I subbed too btw

[andrew101b]

Im a complete new player, but could not watch this any longer. Sorry kiddo

[f0Xy251]

so what if he is a noob, he helped me out thanks m8: P

[genksui]

e for stimpack? u wasting so many ppl time...don't make a tutorial video if ur not sure wat all the hotkeys are

[SingleTap]

@genksui u for you? ppl for people? ur for you're? wat for what? Don't write a comment unless you know how to spell.

[genksui]

@SingleTap lmao...ur in junior high or high school? stop uploading and wasting ppl time dude

[PanfPanfPanfPanf]

@SingleTap It is dumb that @genksui called you out on the hot key but attacking his spelling is just as low. If you plan to keep making videos at least have more class than that.

[adv1k]

awe you never made a number 4? was it casue of the negative response to your non scripted vid? please make a few more scripted videos, ill have your babies

[NoobsNeverDie]

4:25 opening base with firering instead of lifting ^^

[CarlsenProduction]

haha hatkeys :P

[yojimboe]

You know what even more annoying than not preparing yourself before recording? All that nervous clicking and moving around the screen that has nothing to do with what you're talking about. PREPARE, THEN STICK TO THE SCRIPT!

[rmdguitar]

are you a newfy?

[adamator2005]

I appreciate the high-rez demo, but it'll help a lot (especially for new players), to write down and prepare your tutorial before you hit record. It's clear that you weren't completely prepared and it made it very hard to follow/understand.

You mention in your video "better with or without script" - well u have my answer.

Tip for training beginners - assume that they don't know ANYTHING! And avoid the temptation of flipping through your hotkeys while you're talking...step by step.

[SingleTap]

@adamator2005 It'd be a lot easier to if I was talking while controlling the game, but sadly my computer doesn't allow that so I have to kinda ad lib with the video instead of saying just what I need to say and I need to hurry up through topics so I can talk about what is going on screen. It's tough and probably makes the video less enjoyable/helpful sadly.

[adamator2005]

@SingleTap Here's a few tips, I know it's trickier than many flamers might think:

- play the game and take notes of what you're doing.(without recording)

- Write first draft of your script

- Read out your script (to yourself) while playing. Add little notes to your script while you're doing that

- THEN read script to yourself while recording video

- Finally, record your script while watching the video - might take a few attempts before it works to your liking.

Hope this helps!

[adamator2005]

Oh PS - you're a fast player! Don't forget that for a beginner guide, every key click should be explained...it's clear that it's a beginner guide so if someone flames you for it, remind them that it's for BEGINNERS. Let them know that intermediate/advanced tuts are coming soon.

[crystalcape]

@SingleTap doesnt your screen recorder have audio as well?

[wcr4]

@SingleTap You might be able to use a different recording device and sync the audio later.

[thewilliamgregg]

@SingleTap Thanks for taking the time to make a beginners video.I'm trying to learn after struggling and quiting so I'm concentrating on the basics.

[blackpoomaster]

haha your a noob. pretending to know hotkeys your horrible with them.. soooo sloppy.

[SingleTap]

@blackpoomaster I don't know noobs where high rank platinum that only plays once a week or 2, troll.

[BaoRamIsBored]

@SingleTap He's not trolling. Shut the fuck up before you talk.

[radiacto]

[shawnde1]

[shawnde1]

[MrIPhonemaniac]

:T i think a majority of your subs subed for mw2, and its been almost a month since you made a legit mw2 video (2weeks ago preview)

:S so....yea make those vids!

[SingleTap]

@MrIPhonemaniac There's nothing left to say about mw2, If I made a MW2 video it would just be a update video basically. Just like every other MW2 video is now. I much rather make a practical video.

[MrIPhonemaniac]

@SingleTap :S no need to make tutorials, just commentary :T

[radiacto]

@SingleTap please dnt do mw2 iv subbed to 100s of ppl for mw bt i subbed u cos im a new sc2 player nd want to get better and enjoy watching it, fuck mw2 fanboys do sc2:)

[darkflame5019]
