matt...from that replay ive seen i will give you a bit of advice... 1) DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT BOX YOURSELF IN WITH CANNONS! it wastes psi because u have to build shuttles. ALWAYS leave a 2-square space for big units to get out. 2) learn to like goons early and often 3) upgrade mid-game and on 4) get gas as soon as you can but not immediately (u went 20 mins and until u had gas...) 5) dont depend on just air to bail ur ass out. Find a unit you like that is versatile and use it (keep it about 65% fav unit and 35% other units for an attack force) 6) get a cannon barrier around ur base when u have the cash (it is expensive though so beware 7) u do this but i will still list it anyway. Observers are your friend in moderation (nice job) 8) CONSISTANTLY make units 9) never neglect ur base defense. 10 cannons wont save u against an onslaught of 50 or so units. 10) put a few random, stray, cannons in ur base for just-in-case reasons 11) if sum1 is bothering u while ur building and u get more talking done than building...just ignore them or tell them to stow it. 12) FOCUS( u tend to lose it if u make a mistake) 13) *MOST IMPORTANT* USE COMMON SENSE. DONT BE JAYSON (u do about 1/2 the time) 14) we are all better than you because we've played longer. If you want training on toss, ask me. Terran and zerg...eric's ur man. we can help you get better (we all agree u have it in u) 15) dont be afraid to counterattack when the enemy comps have just attcked you. you might off a couple buildings 16) when you have mapped the enemy base, ALWAYS hit the vulnerable spots first. then slowly work your way to more heavily guarded areas 17) BLITZKREIG SUCKS. no1 ever won a war with massive attacking. look at h1tler (not sure if it filters his name) the only race to do that with is zerg because they can produce units so quickly. 18) make sure to have a decent about of money on reserve so that you can use it in dire need (around 5-10K if toss. prolly around 10-50 if zerg...dont ask me how, it just works out like that) 19) when we criticize your performance, we mean well. if we are being A-holes about it just tell us and we will try to correct ourselves. just dont get bent out of shape (im not saying you do but just in case) 20)...dont underestimate yourself, the enemy, the ally, or any1 else playing until you have seen their base. bases tell a lot about ppl (like cat. she ALWAYS relies on air for her races with goon backups. her base just tells that much) 21) don't overestimate yourself or the enemy or the ally. 22) ALWAYS (unless it's me or eric or cat or jayson or ur good life friends basically) keep a close eye on the allies. because they ALL have the potential of BSing when you arent watching (i also have been known to do it when i'm bored or sum1 is acting like a dumbass. although i never kill their base) 23) FINAL TIP :good luck P.S. Organization is good, but dont overorganize and be a perfectionist about it. as long as your base has some order to it, you dont need 50 pylons powering 1 thing. i personally have about a 2:1 ratio of pylons to important buildings (I.E. Cannons...cannons...cannons, barracks, stargates, and forge) P.P.S. tell me...why does almost EVERY toss player use the same organization pattern of pylon-barracks-pylon-barracks...its...redundant...and annoying...and...nukeable

the problem is when you guys get so mad about me ditching... no1 seems to get the point that when i am being beaten that bad it losses the fun of the game... if not for the fun, why play?? i dont want to stop playing the game permanently out of anger so when it loses its fun, i quit and take a break... and no, it doesnt work to just tell you to stow it or to lay off when criticizing me... its not constructive in the least and yall just keep it up when i tell you to shut up and then i get the added pansy remarks... it pisses me off and thas why i get bent out of shape... Colloff: Duely Noted and accepted. i'll keep that in mind next time i say something to u. just do ur best to follow the tips. u can be a good player, u just need polishing. ur just like how cat was =)

lol, like cat was what? and i do not get just air and goon back up anymore. i learned the flaw in that and the difficulty. and i wanna see that replay of the game eric was in while i was beaten by justin because i was afk and he didnt know it. then the other replay if i have time. *curses gs*......well yeah, if you need help wit toss eric is a good teacher, trust me, he is the one that showed me how to get better at toss. justin isnt half bad either, just dont get help from me, i cant explain stuff for crap and id confuse you more. ^^;;;

well i wouldnt say i am even half bad with toss. i just play to my style...which happens to lose... I'm a better terran teacher. Eric has knoledge of all the races to an extent and is prolly best with zerg. His terran pwns too though

well, i'll show u some things when we can do a 1 on 1. we'll share vision and i'll point some stuff out for u oh and just so u know, comps are SUPPOSED to completely own you. comps aren't a way to train for human matches too well.
