Legend says those high templars are still spinning

[@dumbasffff]

Legend says this comment is still being upvoted

[@deltabecnoir]

I think the high Templars. Are. HIGH right now. EYYYY

[@kuzeyaksu1771]

I wonder when they will merge into a archon

[@AtillaTheFun1337]

Clearly they are square dancing!

[@vamp1310]

that's what happens when an archon is made.

[@Zvathuul]

Templar 1: Shall we have this waltz before we become one? Templar 2: Oh, yes! We shall! Till the end of time!

[@jevil1371]

Hours later: An entire enemy force overwhelms the Protoss base.

[@CommanderBohn]

If there is one thing SCII does right, it is the pathfinding.

[@benjaminthursdayrosaupan1731]

ikr!

[@freygarr3943]

Burny burn

[@CelestineGup]

scII unit select limit. all I'm gonna say

[@jamielee2353]

Showing control groups is also a pretty good QoL update. There's honestly alot of QoL changes that SC2 got right. The biggest glaring problem is the balance really.

[@mattmorehouse9685]

@@thatsnotchocolat Should we also have players have to double click so that their orders actually register? Maybe we should get rid of that pesky casualizing shift key. Now your units have to go straight to their target. It'll be a pain in the ass, but the skill ceiling will be sky high!

[@StevesSammiches]

I remember the High Templar dance! Used to yell at my monitor every time it happened

[@minimalgrammar1276]

Artosis moment

[@parheliaa]

4:45 So, I know finally how little archons are made...

[@christopherg2347]

That is the Star Craft version of the Dragonball Z Fusion dance!

[@kazeroth1234]

2:22 - I was holding my breath the entire time, wondering if that poor SCV would get stuck behind the mineral wall!

[@selvmordspilot]

still the greatest rts game ever made..

[@The.Dark.Panther]

+selvmordspilot Original War, in my opinion(!) - after almost two decades of playing PC games, is way better, more advanced and ingenious than SC or even SC II.

[@sharilshahed6106]

+Tomasz M. Krystyan not many have heard the name to agree.

[@The.Dark.Panther]

+Sharil Shahed "Good" is not always accompanied with "popular". For example, you can look at Jagged Alliance 1, JA 1 DG, JA 2, JA 2.5 UB or great, spectacular mod JA 2 v.1.13 (10/10 fabulous series of Tactic-TBS-RPG, but rather niche). Gorky 17 (a little bit scary Turn-Based RPG), Arcanum (more commonly known, but still niche compared to Fallout and Baldur's Gate) or very pleasant Xenonauts (compared to X-Com / UFO series in the late '90). :) Please don't get me wrong. I love SC I + BW (9/10), and very like SC II (8/10), but sometimes it is worth to do some experiments with games which are not pumping 90% of their budgets to international promotion. With relatively short campaign, no skirmish mode and couple of unfinished ideas, Original War (9+/10) is, IN MY OPINION, still better (climatic, creative and advanced) than StarCraft or even Command & Conquer together. :)

[@The.Dark.Panther]

+Tomasz M. Krystyan I don't mentioned about Fate of the Dragon - excellent RTS game, based on chinese history.

[@sharilshahed6106]

+Tomasz M. Krystyan but sometimes games can be both really good and popular, starcraft did start with being that and perfected the rts genre in the sequel. In the same way, just cause something is underrated doesn't mean its always better than the popular games of the same genre. Since you've probably played them, games like empire earth, age of mythology, rise of nations, age of empires 2 were excellent rts, and I'd often like to think the latermost could be equal or better than Starcraft. But most critics and experts who reviewed this games would vote for Starcraft II. But now that you mentioned it I'd like to try out this game in a free time.

[@ReallyIntoxicated]

Can't wait to see this again in another 10 years.

[@thosegreengentlemen]

in maps where there were staircases, boy that was hard

[@joshuahudson2170]

Getting a dragoon to go up a staircase. No that's something else.

[@bowbert23]

I lost at the High Templar Waltz xD

[@thomaskim7548]

1:39 the tank is as clumsy as stupid..the real tank driver knows better than to help obtain mineral and gas by combustion.

[@okaneganaidesuyo5318]

templar dance is the best

[@cr1989]

somehow this video got in my recommendation 14 years after it's release, thanks youtube !

[@EebstertheGreat]

Bro update your game, the siege tank shouldn't explode like that when it hits the CC. Otherwise this is pretty much typical Brood War pathing behavior. Nothing you won't see almost every game.

[@JuanLau]

4 years later and it still explodes if it gets slightly on top of anything like a bunker, for instance.

[@blakebergman4007]

4:39 that brings mimerious ;(

[@micropocari1604]

Blake Bergman i remember too! :'D This makes the two of us!

[@bananian]

It's the little joys like these videos that keep me going in life.

[@홍진표-c7k]

The last dancing is very impressive with the music.

[@schippes24]

3:12 that's the way pathing works in sc:bw.. "if you cant find the path, reset, go far away, and get back to your original goal" nice video

[@luisnecro2696]

The nostalgia, I still miss the good old defiler.

[@ToprollPower]

0:46, the probes don't count as attacking units. so the mines were trying to reach the goons, but the probes were blocking so it didn't work

[@MrHinchapelotas]

explanation: there was a bug that allowed a siege tank to enter siege mode underneath a command center, so it was either that or random exploding tanks.

[@dandaman4393]

This patching is exactly why brood war is the best game ever. And the graphics, oh the graphics! Perfect. 10/10 would graphic again -ign. It's like they're real.

[@silachaiyaruk9074]

back then kinda but now no 😐

[@Fuchsia_tude]

0:38 That's intentional. Ranged units have a 1% or 2% chance to miss. Note that the weapon hits _south_ of the unit, rather than right in the middle of the SCV sprite like normal.

[@dataexpunged3914]

Sometimes my marines even pretend to be fidget spinners and just spinn unti they die. Literally, even if there are enemies in front of them.

[@valeriy1987]

SC:BW - is a magical place where straight line is never the shortest distance between two points.

[@Whanhee]

The 0 damage sunken colony is because every attack (at least ranged, i dunno about melee) has a very small chance of missing and doing 0 damage to the target. The projectile will hit nearby the target and do no damage or splash damage. If you played snipers you'd rage about it all the time :P

[@AdhamOhm]

I've had spider mines do that to me, where they just scuttle around like retarded mice until the enemy blows it up.

[@princeamongkings343]

2:12 I imagine that the SCV and zealot are playing keep-away with the gas.

[@Spore5006]

@1proudkorean actually no, it just seiged. Whenever a tank begins seige mode under a structure it is supposed to explode. This was patched in after abuse early on in the game patches. Side not, you can still seige under buildings if you time it perfectly though.

[@CthulhuForCocoaPuffs]

I was thinking the same thing. It's like they had to mingle and get to know each other first lol.

[@TheJustinHit]

2:40 Tank: God damn it, I know I can fit through here. I didn't gain that much weight...

[@esau817]

What the fuck happens in 1:38? lmao XD

[@Jomster777]

Seriously, what the fuck did we just witness?

[@RG-lu3qq]

esau817 & Layne17 if I remember correctly, there used to be a trick where you could land buildings on seige tanks and make them immune to melee damage, so they made it so units that had buildings land on them be destroyed. likely the tank glitches into the command center slightly and triggered the destruction.

[@Nufrifin]

Infested terrans driving the tank

[@olivius8891]

That spider mine was not a warrior. He was born for dancing!

[@Classixish]

Pathing has come such a long way.

[@Ashanaris]

I believe its cause of a replay glitch, where some times units perform slightly different actions from the game. In this case, the tank may have been glitched into siege mode while inside a landed building (Which actually kills the unit).

[@Stone15656]

May recommendations bless StarCraft

[@lucaskimmy]

oh man i remember those high templar dances that happened every time

[@Rally_Studio]

It's not all about graphics, or killstreaks and weapons. That's just one type of game genre with different types of graphics. There's different games out there, along with different people who have different tastes for different games. You'll understand someday kid, we all grow up eventually.

[@nambona890]

i like how the first video is flagged as "made for kids" despite the title

[@axci123fire]

@TheBlacksimth Because this was the best there was at the time? Man, I feel old.

[@ballwallcallall]

Goliath pathing is the cooloest one of all. They don't dance in a circle, they dance around the base.

[@HuskyZealot]

I say, they are still dancing to this day, they say.

[@wra45]

0:40 probes aren't targets for the mines. They never were targets as I remember. Also alot of these buggs accured after blocking the unit.

[@jaysong_stick]

It saids probes are actually 'hovering' so it could not be targeted by spider mines.

[@shilie4]

2:14 kids dont do cocaine ... you dont want to be like this zealot

[@Elfcheg]

Like a fine wine

[@8KingFisher]

The Sunken colony missed the SCV, you have it pull back just as it attacks...it's called dodging...

[@Comm0dore]

No cheats were used. This is all multiplayer non-UMS footage.

[@DocterEvil111]

1:38 siege tank drove into the Command center. and killed himself.

[@aikkuma1]

It was the imperfect AI that made the game so great. It made players exploit the errors and micro around it which brought surprising often great results. I cant believe blizzard decided to ditch it in SC2 because the game is pretty boring, you mass up an army, fight and win. Kinda why SC2 is boring outside watching progames and why BW is still played in higher numbers in Korea

[@justnoob8141]

aikkuma1 more like because you never make lurker to fight mass marine at all

[@martinmarzano1523]

Im the only one here that feels your own SCVs hate you? I mean... they trap themselves on the minerals formation... They go around the refineries... They block, stuck and stack agains eachother... They keep dancing inside the CC when desperadly I need a fucking Silo... Why, SCVs? WHY!? WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME!? WHAT I HAVE DONE TO YOU!?

[@EteamProductions]

The High Templars seduces their brothers to make a big ball of sp*rm. It's an unique dance used to demostrate their force and elegancy. His dance is very handsome and sexy.

[@MaxPolej]

I had a bug where zergling was on top of the hatchery unable to command while cannot be attacked by melee units. I cannot even select him as an attack target when i tried i always select a hatchery.

[@abcz98]

there was one where 2 hydralsiks hold hands and start walking with eachother from left to right on the screen and so forth.

[@Crisis_Brew]

Workers were never known for having good UI, ever. And the last one, High templars ALWAYS did that.

[@alexxx4434]

Gotta love waltzing workers!

[@VioSnaibaf]

@JosueC730 My Theory: You can move a unit right under a lifted building when it is about to land and you could do that with a Siege Tank a long time ago so that you had a Siege Tank sieged IN a building,so it couldnt be attacked by melee units To prevent that Blizzard let any stationary unit die instantly that is currently inside something else(burrowed units too). And I think in that case the ST wasinside the SCV and tried to siege...

[@harlequin2262]

GOGO! That's it. The GoGo theme from FF6, I think. It's definitely FF6, either way. Or one of the very little used themes in one of the comic relief style scenes.

[@Spore4006]

The tank explodes because he siege it while it glitched under the CC. Also the templar bug at the end is a result of a patching of the old flying templar bug.

[@Dontpisscatsoff]

SCVs are much more gracious than I thought they were!

[@aznluv4lyfe]

some say those high templars are still spinning

[@АнтонРыжков-ъ9ш]

Иоган Штраус на прекрасном голубом Дунае

[@cavemanooga]

I must say, the Blue Danube really kicks it up a notch.

[@CountSpartula]

1998 graphics,but MW3 looks like this compared to what we have today.

[@Umba]

That probe wall to block the spidermines was genius!

[@HGDfan]

The sunken colony missed, that's why there was no damage.

[@XryookuX]

Yea, at the time, but the other guy was comparing it to a modern-day game. I was defending SC, considering (at the time) the graphics were amazing and, even if the graphics sucked, it was one of the best games of the time period. More importantly, SC and SC2 beat any MW game, hands down.

[@TheLastBabyMan]

I don't hate it when these glitches happen, i love it. It makes the games way more fun.

[@currytub]

all clips are from matches that were played seriously. now go and look 2:22

[@ArtanisOwns]

1:41 anti-tank stack under lifted buildings, a default trigger. 1:58 two stacked spider mines cant move. half of these are intentional

[@Onikiller]

You should make one of these using the patrol glitch. You know what im talking about? -Put an air unit on patrol to a point very close to it. -Than you use another air unit and span left click on the patrolling one. (You will collide with it and shift it slightly off course) -Than quickly move away from the patrolling unit. -If you shifted it just the right distance away from the original rally points, the air unit should keep spinning in circles until it sees something to attack.

[@Tyfyh]

spider-mines crack me up every time. They are so unpredictable. Workers' glitches are like it happens every time.

[@shmuckling]

@Semyazzzzza Yeah, it was almost impossible to morph a half dozen archons without having at least one pair get stuck in a dance :)

[@kelmorian178]

1:37 Tank attmepting to run over CC. Failed it. (NOTE: Sieging in a space that has been filled in will blow up your tank)

[@Frank_144]

THAT'S FINAL FANTASY 6 MUSIC!!!

[@Frank_144]

Hello there handsome

[@Frank_144]

Hi there beautiful, it's been five years

[@pelana3001]

I miss this game so much

[@Comm0dore]

As stated in the credits, all footage is from 2008 or 2009, using the latest version of SC:BW at the time.

[@TheBlacksimth]

looking at this makes me wonder how the hell i fell in love with starcraft

[@Ec11223]

apples and oranges brah, apples and oranges, they're completely separate genres.

[@reaperbread]

i miss the old unit sound tracks of sc 1.... so much more lively and alienly

[@TheEpicGod1]

Did you hate the game when you watched this. Or did you hate it 14 years ago when it came out.... This game was one of the most popular of its time. In Starcraft 2 the AI pathfinding is not anywhere near as bad it was in SC:BW. But even so 14 years ago the AI pathing was godly.

[@thatrooper1567]

the games over a decade old, give it a break, and its still 100x better than any cod game dispite its derpy ass control.

[@Cubics_Rube]

That spontaneously exploding tank and dancing High templar couple really made me laugh :D

[@Zholat]

Ah yes... The good old pathing of SC BW. So unbelievably agonizing.

[@benjerman92]

good times.. good times.. I remember a lot of this stuff.

[@CrayPlaySwe]

I get the feeling most of these are due to replay errors

[@numbers93]

WTF?! How'd the spontaneous combustion happen?

[@thatrooper1567]

wrong words, but what did we just watch again?

[@spacewargamer4181]

This is the reason why I cant play old rts games anymore lol

[@silverhawk7324]

1:38 bwahahah that made my day lmao

[@thatrooper1567]

sits down calmly with a R870 shotgun on my lap, and puts down a box of shells* where do you live, bro... *loads 1 shell* I like cod too... *loads another* I personally like the 1st mw. *loads another* but starcraft is the greatest creation in the known universe... *loads another* so if I fucking ever hear you dis this beautiful game again... *SHK-SHK* I hope you're hungry for a lead biscuit!

[@kyro9134]

the first time i build a archon, the high templar danced like that: I was like: Wow, thats fucking cool!!! and then i realize it was some kind of bug... Sad face.

[@dataexpunged3914]

I think now we know why they are HIGH templars: they are high (on drugs)

[@Rally_Studio]

Yep, hopefully. The only thing better than that is him simply being a young child on youtube. I remember being on this site when I was nine years old, ha

[@YRyoulookingatmyname]

4:45, the two high templars wanna be an archon but failed attempt

[@Sinani201]

It is possible to dodge sunken colonies, it's just very hard.

[@Treyfan]

the zealot that danced in front of scv did that cause zealot was told to attack the missle turret

[@llToLYll]

They must get to know each other well before merging into an archon, if you know what I mean...

[@tarrker]

Makes you appreciate the SC2 unit ai a little more :P

[@MaTtWaNnAbE]

3:17 I think its a tradition to hump the pylon before extracting the resources

[@FORtheSWARM1000]

Well... He was talking about call of duty, so it is a hard decision. I still am pretty sure he is trolling by the format of his "sentences"
