Really good. Unupgraded banelings do 20 damage to non-light units. Marauders have 125 health.

there is ofcourse the so many banelings principle where marauders are sufficiently clumped and you have SO MANY BANELINGS that you just dont give a fuck.

anyway, today i learned that beating vautrin isnt a fluke.... as long as he spawns terran.

So can we call that the "Panda build"?

Moe build sounds better.

1. scout mech
2. go banelings anyway
3. ????
4. panda wins again.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Haha, who moves out with their tanks in front like that?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

dude are you walling off?

I stopped walling up cause that Husky dumbass had me convinced it was a bad idea but I am going back to making sure my entrance is secure.

 

[The Lamonster]

Need some tech help. WoW players like to turn down the Shadows quality because it improves performance the most without sacrificing much visual quality...and I need a suggestion for something similar in SCII.

I play with all video settings maxed out, but during intense battles my framerate crawls down to 15 FPS. What do you guys suggest lowering first?

Anyone?

Husky is a very sweet and entertaining guy, but do not take advice from him
If you need any sort of coaching to get you over the first few humps, don't be a stranger.

EU or US?

There is no reason not to wall off as Terran.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

I can normally scout it but if he is good he will constantly harass me with Zerglings until he can get a good amount of Banelings to come in and finish the job.

yeah you should wall in. I can't imagine how Terran is supposed defend against lings running all around the base during the first 5 minutes.

 

[Pancakes]

Anyone?

Shadows are the biggest factors, you probably wouldn't notice physics either so turn that down to low or off. I use low quality models since I don't care to see extended death animations and you can't really tell during battles anyway. Ambient lighting and all jazz is a killer as well.

Honestly, just play around with the settings and see what you can/cannot live without.

It can be a bad idea against Protoss and Terran, but really there is no reason not to wall off against zerg... its actually pretty essential

 

[LakeEarth]

How good are marauders at soaking baneling damage?

They are great, problem is they suck at killing Zerglings. So if your banelings come in and kill all your marines and leave you half-health mauraders, you're in trouble. This is why a lot of high level TvZ games go heavy marine. Sure banelings are going to rock them, but if they still have 20% of your marines left your zerglings can't touch them.

Thanks for the response. I just had the idea to mess with the settings during a replay so I'm not all rushed trying to do it in the middle of gameplay...

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Yeah I love Husky but more for entertainment value.
Thanks for the feedback guys looks like a I am back to walling in.

And at some point those marines will be backed up siege tanks, which do rather well against banelings.

Against zerg, always wall off, sometimes against other races it won't matter. Don't listen to husky for advice since he wants stooooorms.


Gaf yall lucky, my school schedule works with gaf nights and tournament. But as return for stream you must help me with my 30 page history paper!

Well you have to at least tell us the topic of the paper. I'm sure our collective knowledge is worth more than any simple library book.

 

[FoxSpirit]

Use medium settings for shaders and bump everything else to max (which is limited by medium shaders, btw). Looks great and runs very, very well.
Also produces the best look for me, detailed yet with the best readbility imo.

 

[Corran Horn]

Its one of my many senior history papers. Basically on topic I choose of US history. I did one earlier on the 1919 whitesox and another on scientific management.

 

[Ikuu]

I hate ZvZ so much, trying the Roach timing attack that Machine showed and I always mess it up. Now I'm just macroing up to 200 with Roaches and some Hydras and then hoping my opponent either has terrible macro or hasn't got many upgrades.

Day9's Back to Basics video is the start of many an escape from bronze.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

These are good too:
Day9 on Drone Timing -Zerg specific
Newbie Tuesday #1 (Probes and Pylons) -Applies to all macro. This is a great video if your macro needs basic help.

perfect. The fact that it was a single ling and there was no aa around makes it even better. Oh and the single ling got 2 probes.

lol

I love PvZ games when you know you will win. Checking around and see zerg only has same amount as bases as myself (4) and I have put no pressure at all the whole game. I could push and win the game but I get myself 3-3-3 upgrades and a shitton of colossus with blink stalkers

On the bright side I always get to see Brood Lords and rape them with blink stalkers

must be a shitty zerg if he didn't take all the bases by that time >_>

 

[Corran Horn]

Shrug I would imagine. He attacked into small areas against my colossus. He almost was able to do serious damage against me with a early roach push. I notice these zergs are always 2500-3000 though with like 500+ games under their belt.
