Most memorable single/multi player games

[coalescence]

Tell me your stories of the most weird, whack, curious or grand victorious or losses you have had in a game of starcraft (either single or multiplayer)

[coalescence]

I remember this one time when we were doing LAN games at a friends house and he totally destroyed another friends base with a mass army of drones :o

[mc2]

Lets see, I've posted some of it in other topics

I typed "nuclear launch detected" onto the screen and my opponent left the game...
I exploded a critter and my opponent left the game.....

The critter one actually gave me the idea for this topic.

[TheDarkTemplar]

The absolute greatest game I've ever played in StarCraft was against my friend. I always used to beat him and he used to get sooooo frustrated.

So anyway, we started off the game and it went on for aaaaaages. We had pretty similar strategies (it was TvT btw) and both of us were going for Siege Tanks and the like. Anyway, after about an hour of play, he attacked me with an army of Siege Tanks, Battlecruisers, Wraiths, Marines and Firebats. It was mental stuff but I just about held out due to my defence and the fact I had been building up my own army. I was left with no air units and a pretty sizeable army of Tanks and Marines, so I decided to go for the instant counter-attack because I assumed he had no units left.

I arrive at his base and OH MY GOD: He had spider mines EVERYWHERE! I couldn't believe it! He completely wiped out my army and his turrets took care of the lone Battlecruiser I had left and while he was at it, he attacked with the Vultures he had been keeping in reserve!

I had to salute him though.

[10-Neon]

Um, you can't explode critters in multiplayer.

I once nearly won a game against a using only Probes. He was using full Protoss tech. He eventually beat me down with scouts. I've played a few games where the rule was that only workers could be used, "Worker Wars," and they were all really fun.

In a 2v2 game, my ally and I beat our opponents with an air worker rush.

I once killed a player with Queens and Broodlings.

On several occasions, I went into nuke mode, and just focused on building and launching nukes over actually winning. My allies were doing most of the real fighting, but I generated enough of a fear factor that two of our enemies left just because of the constant nuclear launches.

On a couple of occasions, after scouting with an SCV, I floated my Barracks in, and pushed Bunkers in from a dark corner of my enemy's base.

On a couple of occasions, in a 3v3 game on River of Light, my team triple worker rushed one enemy, killing them, while simultaneously lifting off (we all chose Terran) and continuing base construction on the cliffs above our bases, which had the same minerals/gas as the bases themselves. We effectively had a number and terrain advantage over our enemies, only sacrificing in the time lost in relocating and building new workers. We won, and that was fun.

[Fallrider]

Well, I was playing a Dawn of the Dead: Neighborhoods game (Survivial game, can anyone say ZERG RUSH?!), slowly everyone left one by one until I was the only one left to hold them off, with 36 seconds left they broke through my defenses and charged in.. there was so many Zealots and Ultralisks I couldn't hold them off, I only won that because I lifted my buildings up right when the bunker fell. I still have that replay, I'll send a file download as soon as I figure out how. >.>

[Zombine]

me and a friend were playing on a resource scarce map, and we both wiped every mineral off the map against each other(2nd hour in).

Anyway, we both eventually ran completely dry. Most of my funds went for base defense, and both of us were totally walled up. Both armies eventually were finally built, sent to the base, and after long battles, we were left with nothing but workers.

With no money left, it became a waiting game, who would leave first.

BUT i found something, a single marine! one with a parasite, so i separated it from my base, and sent it to a corner. Now he only really had a bunch of missle turrets left, i maneuvered the marine in with a pack of SCV's and STORMED HIS BASE!

victory was so sweet

[JBL]

It has to be multiplayer.. unless you play melee single player games..

anyway.. I don't have any specific games.. but I really like these games I played with some friends who were much better than me.. and I always learned a lot.. and after the games.. we were talking of it.. for hours.. they were teaching me..

we used to watch the replays together.. it was nice..

ahhhhh good times.

[Remy]

Once in team melee, my friend pulled off nuking the starting command center of the enemy Terran at 5 o'clock, this was on Ice Hunter(money map). This was late game where everyone already had multiple CC/nexus/hatch for minerals and the enemy Terran didn't bother rebuilding one there right away. I then quietly flew in an overlord hugging the mineral line to the right. Dropped off a drone and started to build a hatchery there. We kept the other team busy by constantly attacking relentlessly. After the hatch was built, I actually managed to pull off a nydus on the Terran. Cracklings everywhere in his base, went down in flames pretty fast. I think it was the only time I got to nydus a Terran ever. Pretty funny.

A few times I asked my friends for command centers early on to make infested terrans. Loaded them up on ovies with extra ovies serving as decoys. Dropped them one at a time. They're so useless in groups, the first one kills the rest.

4 pool rush was fun too, if not a little silly. Scout with one of the first four drones, make a replacement drone with the 50 minerals. Save up for spawning pool, then rush ftw. Required luck cuz u needed the enemy bases to be within a reasonable distance from your own. Oh, and this was back in the good old days when spawning pool was 150 minerals.

4 pool rush?? wtf it takes like 3 days to get the 200 mineral for the pool..

ohh yeah.. 150 for spawning pool is a bit cheap lol.. that was when the turret was 100 mineral and the sunken totally sucked?

[Remy]

4 pool was only possible before 200 mineral patch.Â* These days Zerg don't have it as good as back in the glory days.

150 mineral is only 5 trips with four workers. The main advantage of 4 pool is you rush while staying 9 supply, without needing to pull a second overlord. You can do the same thing with 6 pool, but each extra drone only pays for itself and starts making money starting with the 7th trip, so 4 pool is still a tad faster.

[UchihaItachi0129]

er i dont know if this counts but in "New Poker Defense" i was trying to get the "secret" bogus straight unit and all i needed was a red flush to get the last part to make it and i said ...red flush plz.... and then 2 seconds later after everyone finished killing the spawn i look at my hand all i see at first is red...ALL red...and i was like O.O(well i actually typed HOLY C***) and then typed wow... and then i took a closer look at it was a red...ROYAL FLUSH O.O and then i was like doesnt this screw up the game? and the other guy playing says no and i try it and nothing happens NOTHING i dont get a unit and no more spawn XD well i have the replay if you guys dont believe me. PM for my Brood War(East) account and i'll be glad to show you

[PowerkickasS]

funny stories? lol
i was playing this 3v3 bgh game. at the start of the game this guy sent all his scvs to rush. 10 secs later; every1 just left. nobody even typed anything

[paragon]

Once I had a ghost army and did lockdown on their entire battlecruiser fleet and then nuked it. They were ****ed after that so I easily killed him.

[PowerkickasS]

i once had a ghost army on fmp. dont think lockdown worked against zergs so i jus blinded all his overlords ^.^

i once had a ghost army on bgh. they died v.v

[paragon]

Once my ally left at the beginning of a 2v2 on some map where two bases are on high ground and the other two are not. One of the enemies wasn't on high ground and the other was and I wasn't on high ground. So, I massed Zerglings until I reached the 200 supply limit so I probably had like 360 fully upgraded Zerglings cause I also had drones.

One enemy was Terran (the one on high ground) and the other was Protoss and hadn't attacked me except for a few little raids that I had defeated. Both of these players seemed really ****ty. So, I rush all my Zerglings to the Protoss base. After the attack I had about 200 left and the base was completely destroyed. Then I ran them all towards the Terran base on high ground. Since they all had to go up one ramp which had bunkers, goliaths, and siege tanks protecting it, every single zergling was destroyed and they only managed to kill 2 of the 4 bunkers and a few goliaths.

So, I quickly made a bunch of guardians and laid waste to his base. They were amazingly horrible.

[Zombine]

i once accidentally nuked my own ghost when i was learning to play.

[PowerkickasS]

hehe i wonder who didnt do that when they first started :D

[CarriersMustReturn]

When I first started playing SC I think on the thrid mission or something I beat it and I thought I was pro. :P

[PowerkickasS]

was that the surviving one? shiz that was hard at that time lol. i just built heaps of buildings which accidentally delayed my slaughter and w00t dropships!

[Itsmyship]

Pshhh, i did the surviving one on the first try =P One that got hard was the one where you assaulted Mengsk's capital where you could chose to deal with either nukes or cruiser, I chose to deal with cruisers, which in retrospect might have been the harder choice :P I got only one other expansion, and i didn't feel like makin another one, so i just nuked a sh*t of a lot before my main assualt, by the time i finished my assault, all i had left were my medics and my fleet of cruisers, so then i just decided to rush at the command center and yamato'd it to red and then just left it alone...i felt proud :P
Torrasque is a b*tch in the last UED mission :P

I just started multi, so i have no real memories from it yet ;)

[PowerkickasS]

oh i did pass on my first try on that surviving mission. but like it was scary in the end im like O M G how do you survive that!? it was quite different from all the other levels lol. my buildings nearly died while floating away till dropships came.

i love the assault augustgrad mission. you pick to destroy the physics lab, then in the main mission you power overwhelming and you had all those units to spare cause the nukes dont kill them =D

yeah the torrasque was gay. till i once accidentally killed it with some spider mines and thought :O

[[LightMare]]

i put a bunch of spaces, then cheat enabled, and my opponents left the game

[Itsmyship]

I ended up killing Torrasque on my 2nd time around the mission by putting a bunch of bunkers on the right side, supported by 5 siege tanks...with that type of defense, killing him was easy ;D

[PowerkickasS]

i had so much trouble killing that fatfat using gundam mod. stupid tanks were gay little buggies that did no damage i was like z0mg. thank god for missile turrets having a strong ground attack

true story: 1v1 LT
powerkickass: hey l0lz0rz ur mom da fatcheese
powerkickass: z0mgs r u taf? im like bunged
powerkickass: ahahahaahahah i had dis hole and it went dung
*enemy* has left the game.

[paragon]

In the survive 30 minutes one I got bored and went out and destroyed the entire zerg base while they were still sending waves.

[PowerkickasS]

ooo i just had a good 40min 2v2 fmp 20 mins ago :D
i was stacking scvs from 4 comand centres on full production on this terran's fleeing M&M and started smacking till he got bats. the zerg was doing nothing cause i sneaked an scv into his base built an engy and floated it over his minerals and he just sat there for like 5 mins doing not much. then it was tug o war between my unupd rines + stack scvs vs m&m&f and i was getting slapped. my ally told me to stop being gay so i was like you are fat. my ally then attacked zerg with not much effect. tried to photon outside zerg but got caught. then he stopped doing anything for 5 mins for no reason. tanks came along and started the pwnage of my ally's photons and he just sat there. blue massed hydras at my m&m oh good one him. my tanks fended off enemys. then while pushing zerg and my ally pushing terran i dropped tank behind his lines and smacked scvs yay yums. tried irradiating zergs drones just to run headon into 50 hydralisks. white used 12 dropships and unloaded a tank in my ally's undefended resource node and wiped out his workers clean and unloaded 23 tanks into my base z0mg i somehow survived. then i matrix-irradiated both guys workers. zerg got lurks but i kept pushing him deeper into his base. my ally sat there for 5 mins waiting for his carriers to pop out (he only had 5 stargates). i tried nuking enemy but failed. my ally sent dts and the terran forgot turrets and ran outta comsat and started dying. irradiated zerg's drones. zerg couldnt help with a dozen tanks camping his entrance, i helped my ally out. double nuked terran's cc. at the same time terran unloaded another bunch of tanks behind my mineral lines and killed my command centre. i had some cloaking wraiths to counter his damn dropships and tanks but their ran outta energy and some BCs came said hi. i retreated my garrison at zerg's to main then zerg unleashed at me i went pooey. terran base basically totally wiped out by ally. my base was like totally dead but before my nuke silos died i managed to land double nukes on zerg's main via dropship. first nuke survive cause just as overlords came the nuke went down and killed it. 2nd nuke ghost survived because of about 4 def matrix. GG

DONT YOU JUST LOVE FASTEST MAP POSSIBLE!?
if you say no then you give me an excuse to post my latest bgh game lol

[paragon]

DONT YOU JUST LOVE FASTEST MAP POSSIBLE!?

No, and since this is in your post I neglected to read the rest of it as it's probably from a game on that map.

[coalescence]

And because he didn't hit the enter button enough... :P

[PowerkickasS]

ok so over an hour ago i was playing this 3v3 bgh game:
so like i was zerg@9 with two terran allies@11/12, shared choking the ridge abit below them of course. and i was double hatching right when enemy probe scouts me. then after it left i canceled and went fast pool spiretech. then i saw the enemies (two protoss one terran@7,6,5) starting their march towards my allies so i stuffed getting a second sunk and invested in 5 mutas. 20 seconds before they appeared the damned zealotswarm + tank drop started egging me and i sent my mutas to try doing some damage to the unteched protoss to find them struggling up a few photons. so i was harassing them and a few nice probies of both guys before all my buildings died. GG

DONT YOU JUST LOVE BGH!?
if you say no then you give me an excuse to post my latest UMS game lol

[coalescence]

And thats memorable? You just got owned like theres no tomorrow, but actually there is gonna be a tomorrow and both you and me will have forgotten this.

[PowerkickasS]

just by saying that probably means im gonna have it stuck somewhere at the back of my head for a few more days =/

[coalescence]

Then it IS a memorable game ;) What would you have been without me... ;D

[PowerkickasS]

buddha

[paragon]

DONT YOU JUST LOVE BGH!?

BGH is strategically stunted. So no, I dont like it

[coalescence]

What is BGH?

[PowerkickasS]

ok so like over a month ago i was playing a worms 1.87 it was great cause the host set the timer to 1minute rounds so we had to rush each other fast and i got the megaworm once which got wasted cause some beggar used a wormaggeddon i was like OMFGBAG. then later on two guys left leaving me and the host to 1v1 for like 15 mins! good fun and he was one of the few people i couldnt properly do my magnet melee technique every time. he was pretty good but average at the same time.

DONT YOU LOVE JUST UMS?
if you dont then that gives me an excuse to say paragon is taf

EDIT: BBBig GGGame HHHunters

[paragon]

I just beat 7 computers in StarCraft on Station Unrest. Everyone including me ran out of minerals but I beat them all back and destroyed them with wraiths, battlecruisers, marines, tanks, and a few vultures. In the end I had 8 critical HP marines, 1 vulture, and 4 critical HP battlecruisers with yamato cause they got plagued twice and I could no longer repair due to no more minerals. That reminds me there should be a terran repair bay like that building picture that was in the MPQ of StarCraft and it would repair faster for a reduced price.
There was 2 terran, 2 protoss, and 3 zerg.

[coalescence]

Free for all of you vs the rest?

[paragon]

I was fighting against all the computers who were together.

[coalescence]

Hmm, never managed to pull that one off.

[paragon]

It's really intense. I had like 20 wraiths flying around killing any air things that tried to get close. In the end half my base was burning, there were no units left inside the base, and half of the missile turrets were destroyed.

[shirija]

I had a game once, ZvT, all that was left was my entire base surrounded by spores and the enemy had a single battle cruiser left. There was no mineral left on the map and we were both exhausted of resources. The game ended with the BC yamatoing every single one of my 15+ spores. I had a nice chat with him though lol, I was hoping the entire time that he would get bored and just leave.

[PowerkickasS]

lol......

nice one paragon. i havent done it on a non-money map but that must be hard. not sure about station arrest though. ive done it on bgh once but it was only about after 20 attempts. corsairs nearly always disrupts my tanks and when even one happens then im gone. and i didnt use the cheap worker-lure comp tactic either.

[paragon]

station unrest is actually a pretty unfair map in some respects. Two people are on high ground the rest aren't. the two on high ground have one entrance (albeit quite far from their base) and the other have two closer entrances. Luckily I was on high ground.

[coalescence]

Hmm, I once did a big FFA lan game there and then it sucks to be on higher ground. Your in between 4/5 persons :P

[paragon]

well the two high ground ones were in the middle of the map and the rest are on the outside.

[bleuchill]

Don't you find it funny when your opponent seems to overanalyze things and forget fundamental tactics like having available detectors all the time?
I was playing with someone from Bnet, I was Terran, he's Protoss. Frequent scans of his base revealed no Observatories. His only means of detection were photon cannons protecting the ramp where he's at. Long story short, I took out his cannons with 3 nuclear strikes, and beat him with 12 Ghosts he can't even see.

[PowerkickasS]

ouch. he shouldve blocked his ramp with dragoons while obs build :P

Haha serves him right. Though it's so much sweeter as Protoss using dark templar cause they do a lot more damage especially to buildings.

[Remy]

It's a bigger mockery and much more insulting to lose to just a bunch of ghosts. They do less damage than workers against buildings.Â* That's laughing stock material.Â* Good job good job.

[paragon]

thats true. and they just have to sit there helplessly while there are slowing torn apart bit by bit. most people would probably just leave.

[MrFrancko]

I was totally about to do this topic. Coalescence would read my mind! Anywho...
My favorite experience in SC1 happened during an online 4v4 BGH game. (This was wayyyy before Fastest or whatever and even before Broodwar came out) I was the zerg and the game was tied with there players a piece. This was a version of BGH without bulked up minerals so everyone had expanded all over the map but by the end there were no resources left. This meant that everyone had to conserve their minerals and their units. Eventually we won but I remember being down to a few guardians and mutas. It was rough!

[paragon]

This was a version of BGH without bulked up minerals so everyone had expanded all over the map but by the end there were no resources left.

The "version of BGH without the bulked up minerals and gas" is called The Hunters. It's actually a nice map. Big Game Hunters make a mockery out of it.

Oh, that's right. Wow, that was a long time ago. You forget about stuff like that when all that you see on Bnet these days is BGH and Fastest.

[Itsmyship]

BTW, sorry this is off-topic, but is there a place where you can download maps like Luna, Hunters, Blood Bath, etc.?

[PowerkickasS]

they're around. or you could just wait for someone to create a 1v1obs on ums battle.net :P
paragon-mode on: and hunters suck. imba. hunters-kpga/gamei better
freaking n00bs who cant tolerate the ambiguity called money maps

I prefer to play maps with limited money. They add more of a challenge to it because you need to expand and fight for expansion sites.

[paragon]

freaking n00bs who cant tolerate the ambiguity called money maps

money maps are for people who suck at starcraft

[coalescence]

It's funny when you just start, but after a while its not a challenge anymore.
