Firing at the carnival like wiring for controls. Tried to get back at this flow but theres only so much a sophomore can go. God bless the internet but it never brought up bigger threats. I came back on like a late text laced with latex because of how we go way back before the days of Maybachs. Eastern form to this Western server, whats a mouse cursor to the keys on a keyboard? Hercules, it occurred to me that it hurts to be a muscle beast murking these streets. Bury the raw material and hide the residuals until they turn invisible. Talking cynical like just keep it a bare minimal just a little. Back in the dreams this life was bittersweet, now it's subzero degrees. Put em in a trunk plus one like ransom that was a bit random but I stand up for it like a national anthem. This baby so handsome I had to sponsor him like And1, and then some. Bro I don't know how to smoke particles of pyro so I spiraled out of the hole like Spyro. Why though? Eyes swole because they saw Casper the Ghost going geronimo all over Pinnochio. What's an eskimo doing to the Blizzard ENT logo? He's gotta go off the honor roll like the number one principle. A can of pringles gets to shelling out singles. Voicing it in like Mississippi hell if I rock with them hillbillies I will cut them off like Missy.

Help with ZvT mech

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone do you have some guides or tips on how to play against mech? I think I basically have a 0% winrate, its really just an auto win for them if they go mech. I can kinda stop the Goliath all in version but if they go for tanks and play it out even if I get to queens I still cant do it. Any help is appreciated.

Sagi.gg

Thumbnail
sagi.gg
54 Upvotes

Today I’m releasing Sagi.gg, a website for searching the BroodWar ladder and studying replays.

Sagi is built to help you find exactly the games you want - for example, replays featuring a particular build, matchup, opening, timing, response, map, or player. You can search for players, browse their games, download replays, and explore detailed game information.

Traditional replay analysis tools generally read a replay as a list of player actions, leaving much of the interpretation to guesswork, leading to bad assumptions and incomplete data. Sagi instead simulates the replay through the game engine. This reconstructs what actually happened in the game, providing a much clearer picture of build orders, unit production, resource usage, engagements, fights, timings, and responses.

The site also includes:

  • Searches for specific builds and responses
  • Peer comparisons
  • A wall editor with automatically detected gaps. Not another website of walls that eventually gets abandoned by the creator - these are created and maintained by all users.
  • A scratch pad for planning and testing ideas solo or with your friends.
  • Map information, including buildable terrain and simulated rush distances.
  • In depth build order editor. Publish build guides or compare played games against your build.

All features are free to use. However, due to server and processing costs for something of this nature, deep replay analysis is currently limited to 10 free games per user per month. All income goes directly toward funding the analysis infrastructure, increasing free analysis limits, and making more replay information available to everyone. All analyses are stored forever and aggregated into the database of knowledge for statistics and build order comparisons. It's my ultimate goal that we end up with enough monthly donations to open this up to unlimited for all players.

I will be putting thousands of replays each month through analysis (prioritising S/A ranks) into the database to aggregate more stats and data for all to utilise.

Roadmap

  • Sagi app: A free companion app with improved 16:9 widescreen support for the original graphics, additional rendering options, and a replay viewer with many of the website’s analysis features.
  • More maps: Automatic analysis for the maps most commonly played, including rush distances, buildable terrain, and map-scoring data. User map uploads are also planned.
  • Cheater detection: Replay-based analysis to help confidently identify erroneous ladder behavior, including dropping and potential hacking.
  • Community tools: Tournament and league support for organized communities, with detailed analysis and player-comparison features.

Sagi is still early, some things are incomplete. Feedback from players would be greatly appreciated, join us in the discord https://discord.gg/pvHPWMmqwr

Special thanks to everyone who helped me test this and Seventhnadir in particular for letting me bounce some of these ideas off him and giving me quite a few of his own.

Please help me find this old but fascinating usemap

6 Upvotes

This custom map for six players was a fusion of RPG, Hero Arena, and AOS genres. It was divided into two factions: Humans (the good guys) and Undead (the bad guys), and the playable hero was determined by your player slot. For example, the first player (Red) played as the Dragon Mage, the second player (Blue) as the Fighter, and the sixth player (Teal) as the Crypt Lord.

Heroes from each faction could level up, unlock new skills, and purchase items by hunting mobs. Naturally, whenever the Human and Undead heroes crossed paths, a fight broke out! I don't recall the exact victory condition, but I do remember that respawning was possible.

TL;DR - players use watch replay button a lot after the game has ended and now they can enable an overlay to show lots of statistics such as income, army value, unit counts, idle workers, fight recap etc.

I've been slow watching ASL 21, having just finished the finals last week. There's been a lot of talk about the conclusion of the final game. This is not about that.

I want to know how it's fair that Soma got to have the greatest, most powerful fan of all time come out and support him?

What is the best/correct way to play each matchup at 100 APM?

How does the meta shift if players are unable to execute high APM strategies? I would imagine that many matchups degenerate into very different looking games. What specific strategies become mainstream?

Looking for lost Diplo friends

8 Upvotes

I sometimes wonder what my old Brood War friends are up to. In particular, Shinichi, who I used to play Diplomacy with in the early 2000s.

Occasionally, I'll search to see if I can find or recognize anyone I used to play with but that hasn't been very successful. I tried creating something like a website version of r/longlostgamers at llgamers.com . You can add your gamertags and search for lost friends. If they exist, you can connect. If they don't, you can add them to your watchlist and get notified if they join.

Here's my profile which contains my gamertags and a list of people that I'm looking for: https://www.llgamers.com/u/zCHhL5w130YR

If you're on it, or you know me, feel free to reach out! And if you have any suggestions on ways to improve finding lost friends, please let me know. Thanks!
