Hi~ o(*̄▽ ̄*) ブ, Damai's StarCraft 100,000 Whys is meeting you again! Recently, I have not updated StarCraft related articles because I am busy, and it seems that I have not met with you readers for a long time, but Damai I have not stopped digging into the Interesting Stories of the StarCraft game circle.
No, I recently found a very interesting player story in the past StarCraft circle, I don't know if you have heard of the word "two-handed soldiers", perhaps only the old starcraft players of the ancient era have heard about it. The so-called "two-handed soldier" is actually a way of operation in the Era of StarCraft 1, which is simply that when the player wants to start producing units, the right hand will detach from the mouse and switch to the keyboard with two hands to produce the unit, in order to obtain a very fast troop creation speed.
In Interstellar 1, the general use of two-handed soldiers is mostly Zerg players, the specific operation is like this, the base is organized in 1-9 these three troops, for example, to produce snakes, the right hand will choose formation 1, press the worm egg shortcut key S, and then the left hand will press the snake shortcut key H. The coherent operation is left hand 1S right hand H, left hand 2S right hand H, left hand 3S right hand H, so that the reciprocating can quickly produce 3 teams of stinging snakes.
In this way, compared to the speed of the production unit by completing the soldier-making operation by the left hand or the left hand plus the mouse continuous click, the production unit will be a little faster. After all, in StarCraft's RTS game that pursues the ultimate micro-manipulation, every second of time is crucial, so the so-called two-hand operation also began to arise among players at that time.
Moreover, the two-handed soldier is not only faster in speed, but also more pleasing to the eye from the viewing point of view. For example, in the Internet café, there is a player who originally used the mouse to operate, suddenly threw the mouse away, and quickly operated with both hands on the keyboard to complete the production of 3 teams of thorn snakes, which will definitely cause a lot of shock to the players who are watching nearby! Therefore, in the initial period, StarCraft players regarded being able to skillfully use their hands to create soldiers as the highest goal, and even many Zerg pros at that time were trying to learn.
However, in fact, the two-handed operation of creating troops is a very costly operation, although he can bring the player faster speed of troop building, but it is necessary to give up control of the entire unit for a few seconds! If the opponent suddenly launches an attack on his own troops at this time, it will take hundreds of milliseconds to put the hand back into the mouse, which will not only react more slowly, but also disrupt his own rhythm. However, this two-handed operation has been popular in the interstellar circle at that time for a long time, and many professional players have long developed a habit and it is difficult to change it again.
One of the most tragic is the former Chinese interstellar first person F91 Sun Yifeng, Sun Ge is one of the victims of this two-handed bidding for this wrong operation, according to him, because he learned this wrong operation, buried him as a future Star of China, otherwise the Chinese interstellar will inevitably be able to go to a higher level.
In the era when Sun Yifeng contacted StarCraft, because the Internet was not yet developed, there was no replay or video for interstellar players to learn, basically through offline oral transmission or from a variety of words to constantly explore. As an ignorant teenager, Sun Yifeng, who has just turned 18, although he was born by talent, he is still far from the real professional level, so he is bent on improving his operational level.
At that time, chinese interstellar folk masters emerged, including a high-achieving student from Zhejiang University, a player named Zhao Yun, who was very famous in the interstellar circle because of his superb technology. At that time, Sun Yifeng was very eager to learn some operating skills from him, so he also dragged his relationship and found a man named Lord Xiong to take him to meet that Zhao Yun, hoping to become his apprentice.
After several twists and turns, Sun Yifeng was taken to the house that Zhao Yun rented next to Zhejiang University at that time, and Zhao Yun looked at the young Sun Yifeng at that time and thought it was good to find a little brother who could help run errands. So let Sun Yifeng stay first, stand behind him and watch him play interstellar, and let him buy a fried powder after the meal on the same day.
Thinking that the high people are about to point out their own Sun Yifeng natural fart upside down to run out to buy fried powder for the master, the result of fried powder is only available 10 kilometers away, Sun Yifeng has no money to take a taxi to buy, so he rode a bicycle back and forth 20 kilometers to the so-called master to buy fried powder he ordered. But think about the 10-kilometer journey, and you are still riding a bicycle, can you still eat fried powder when you buy it back? Therefore, Zhao Yun did not eat a bite on the grounds that the fried powder was too spicy.
Of course, Zhao Yun saw that Sun Yifeng was so big and hard to run over, so he decided to teach him a trick, and at that time, he mysteriously told him that this was a masterpiece in the current interstellar circle, and if he wanted to become a real professional player, he had to learn this trick. So Zhao Yun first showed Sun Yifeng the operation of building soldiers with both hands, and at that time, Sun Yifeng, who had never seen the world, had seen this kind of operation, and he was shocked at once, it turned out that this was the height of the professional circle!
Therefore, I listened carefully to the points and operation skills that need to be paid attention to in the two-handed soldiers that night, and began to practice day and night when I went back. Although we all know now that two-handed soldiering is actually a complete lack of operational skills, in that era, the information was not developed, the interstellar professional circle was not mature, everyone was feeling the stones to cross the river, which was absolutely correct, I believe that Zhao Yun at that time certainly did not mean to deceive Sun Yifeng.
I don't know whether it is Sun Yifeng's super talent or the efforts of the day after tomorrow, even if he uses this wrong way of operation, he is also famous, and I believe that if his operation is correct, he may be able to go to a higher height. Of course, he was not the only one who used this wrong way of operation at that time, and even SKY had tried this two-handed soldier operation in Warcraft, but soon no one mentioned it again.
I don't know when Sun Yifeng found out that this two-handed operation was the wrong way, but I believe it must not be too early, because until now he could not change back to this two-handed operation, which shows how long it has been practiced and formed a deep muscle memory. Now Sun Yifeng recalls this past is still angry, perhaps since this incident, Sun Brother completely blackened, recognized the darkness of the StarCraft professional circle, so there was a later crayon Xiaoxin and expired milk stems.
In fact, recalling the earliest StarCraft circle of that year, it is indeed particularly interesting, I believe that the old players who have experienced that period of time must be impressed, everything is fresh, because of the transmission path of all kinds of strange gameplay, although not necessarily all correct, but it does bring players countless joys. Nowadays, information exchange is convenient, although everyone can quickly get started, but it seems that the hostility is getting heavier and heavier, and it is difficult to start tearing up because of operational or conceptual differences. In the game circle, I feel that there is no absolute right and absolute wrong, for us ordinary players, as long as we are happy, right?
