Starcraft

Why is it only about the rush? Makes games SO boring. I have to rush in order to have a chance at winning. I am about a 50-50 split for my win/loss just cuz when u rush u r basically flipping a coin on whether u will be successful or not but...

I wish I could just get a game that went longer than 12 minutes...

So choose to play a slower paced game than Starcraft? That's how the game works, there are plenty of slower (and imo better) RTS titles out there.

Because I'd rather not play one single match for one hour?

Might I mention you may want to edit the title to more than SC, maybe "Starcraft"

But aye, I'm no RTS player but maybe look for a more slower paced one im sure there are plenty about.

May I suggest using the full name of a game and actually mentioning it in the OP?

I assumed you meant Splinter Cell, and upon reading the OP I still had no idea what the thread was about. The fact that I only know by peoples answers is a pretty bad thing for someone trying to make a thread.

I thought this was about the state of South Carolina.
I am severely disappointed.

And pretty much any RTS game is about rushing others.

Spoiler: If you're referring to this, it's a bug

That said, the rush seems to be a staple of StarCraft multiplayer.

If you are talking about the 6 pool thing then it is fixed. If you mean rush in general, you are just really un-lucky. I don't rush people but rather wait for them to attack then counter attack most of the time except for some front door taps.

It's only a rush if it manages to wipe you out. Otherwise, it's just harassing.

In some games, a rush is a strategy with no real counter, or the counter is so unintuitive you can't be sure what works. I haven't played much Starcraft, but I can tell you that in Impossible Creatures, the best way to stop a rush is not the intuitive method of building base defenses. The best way to stop a rush in some games is to reach a level where you can build a really badass unit, and let that unit invalidate the rush.

This is starcraft its like chess. Rush is a strategy that can be shut down so eaasily. It has a prefect balance. I never thought i'd say this but. The OP just sucks

Because rushdown can be a very effective tactic in Soul Calibur...assuming that you know what mixups are and that your opponent is none too good at guard impacts.

That's actually why I like the second game in the series more. It gives more defensive options, and 8-way run is stronger than in later incarnations.
