Explanation of the transmission skip in "Dark Skies": When Jin'ara's mothership spawns at 100 enemies remaining, she starts a long transmission that keeps going even if you destroy her, and that delays the end of the mission. However, when a different transmission is already playing when she spawns, her transmission is instead queued up to run after the current transmission is over. If you have already destroyed her by that point, her transmission is skipped entirely, saving up to 20 seconds. The only candidate for such a replacement transmission that I found is when Matt Horner warns you that the Defenders of Man barracks in the middle lane has been destroyed. You would think that I could just destroy the barracks with one of my units at the right timing, but the transmission only plays if it is destroyed by a unit that is owned by the Tal'darim. So I tried to mind-control a Protoss unit and destroy it with that, but that doesn't work either - mind-controlled units are owned by us, not the Tal'darim. So here's the trick: I attack the barracks with the mind-controlled Wrathwalker, and while the final projectile that will destroy the barracks is in the air, I cancel the mind-control. By the time the projectile hits and destroys the barracks, the Wrathwalker is owned by the Tal'darim again, and the transmission will trigger.

Your skips are absolutely insane and I love to watch.

[@HeroADI1]

Wait, what?? This skip is insane! Gj dude!

[@HeroADI1]

Btw, the ending of that mission was the icing in the cake: "One of our outer bases was overrun! We need to get more defenses in place quickly!" "Say again?"

[@veidro]

jesus christ this is some 3000 IQ play

[@JayMaverick]

Properly lunatic speedrun tactics, I love it 😂

[@我想想-e5d]

I got shock in first minute when screen shows "We let the intro cinematic play for three seconds to manipulate the direction of the flame turrets later in the mission". Wow, speedrun indeed is a masterpiece of gridding work.

[@misterwolf3817]

Alarak: You made a great enemy today. Nova, already on another side of Starcraft 3: *Sorry, what did ya say?*

[@hyper_lightning]

Absolutely love you starcraft speedruns! The info you type really adds so much to the watching experience too!

[@Pumkin932]

In the second mission "We gotta be careful, there's civilians around here!" Proceeds to knock everyone off the road.

[@thehoerscorral8565]

Excellent, I've been looking forward to this...

[@MrSnow24]

Helllll yea thats why we are here this early 🎉🎉🎉

[@duvespb]

Nice speedrun as always, but I am still waiting for Legacy of the Void=)

[@josepha.santos5520]

Yesss, same here!

[@namanhnguyenhoang2695]

Protoss is impossible to be fast

[@Hoarthax]

These videos are great not only for the gameplay but the quick explanations for unusual tech or additional information. Really enhances the whole learning experience 👍

[@FoLDx]

Amazing. Waiting for amazing and massive LOTV

[@Iamdorkfrogman]

It took me 2 hours to complete Night Terrors cause i didnt feel safe guarding each location without wiping out all enemy bases, and having like 6 full bunkers, a wall of cloaked reapers and 12 turrets at each location, and you did the whole campaign in half that time, lol. Excellent work. Also wanna add support for a LOTV run

[@starcraftviewer]

I thought I was decent at SC2, but the knowledge and precision on display here is insane. Well done!

[@michaeljoseth]

Buen video STU, todos tus vídeos son muy buenos. StarCraft por siempreee 🥳🤩🤩

[@KevinSmith-jx4go]

Wow, the swirling Nova at 32:18, such a cool move!

[@CHECKMATE-0425]

This must be the excellent target I've been looking for.

[@StuGames]

Thanks 😎

[@Autario94]

I looooove it when you do a 100% Speedrun! I hope Legacy of the Void comes next! :3

[@illusion5739]

Stu speedruns is the besttt. I love your explanation and thought process and quality. Thnkss for the post. Cant wait for your LotV next. LotV is my favourite

[@cptsevatar8755]

By chance this video was suggested after the LotV speedrun. The comment is a bit late but thanks for this bonus content 😎

[@Massivecow1337]

Hot damn, just finished watching your WOL and HOTS runs and was thinking, "dang, guess he never did lotv or nova." What a pleasant surprise!

[@tigran010]

was waiting for this for a long time

[@cmstudios11]

the big twist at the end legit made me lol

[@hrdwan2000]

Giant Grant Games is rolling in his bed

[@KirbyTheKirb]

Brilliant, as always. Almost done now.

[@s-man5647]

1:04:20 that marine ball _melted_ that assault wave

[@alexgorlenko2858]

That ending was almost as hype as the speedrun itself

[@Blas119]

Loving your contents. Thx! Any plans for LoTV speedrun?

[@StuGames]

Maybe, but LotV would be a massive project so it also depends on how popular this one will be.

hell yeah this what i wait for long time

[@mklizzar]

How did you practice these missions in order to completely figure out the fastest way? did you practice then by playing them with "full vision" using editor maps and write down all the attack timings?

[@Fantom2017]

These speedruns are absolutley hilarious, and watching all of them is really interesting. Keep on doing it and finish Legacy of the vois. As I understand it is too hard to do 100% prottos, but I believe you can find a solution!

[@mklizzar]

The most fun missions are the missions where you can bait 1 enemy to attack the other enemy. For example in "trouble in paradise", i was able to bait the last mothership into their base, was fun af.

[@danielhuang7310]

I loved your speedrun videos as well as the unit battles. Some of us are wondering if you could make a legacy of the void speedrun since There's barely any videos about it

[@我想想-e5d]

The map glitch in last mission was use in speedrun, grant will be proud!

[@LeHaoNguyen]

nice, I will play 1 more time, 315th. Trouble in Paradise I use Banshee and nuke, but I love your turret style :D

[@mklizzar]

Nice man.

[@noahbarragan115]

Will you do a Legacy of the void campaign brutal speed run? Please do 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The epilogue of legacy of the void.

joder este es el master del star craf 2

[@lucamckenn5932]

Having recently watched Giant Grant Games do lotv in 100% on brutal in like... 6-7 hours i dont blame the hesitation. Lots of practice for what would in essence be like a 4 hour speedrun. Good content, will likely go give the other two a rewatch because i enjoy rts optimization.

[@levsonc]

GGG did 100% achievements, it's a bit trickier.

[@ramd9532]

Awesome.

[@UraniumCoffee]

looks like the playlist linked for individual missions goes to HotS instead

[@StuGames]

fixed

[@UraniumCoffee]

@@StuGames awesome ty; was watching and then decided I wanted to see the cutscenes too and was confused when greeted by a ghost who isn't nova lmao

[@woo-jinlee2267]

Any plans to upload a 100% speedrun video of the Legacy of the Void?

[@axellemus7694]

Now I'm just hoping to see the speedrun of Legacy of the Void

[@JayMaverick]

So you can just solo Sudden Strike with Nova? I used to struggle so much with that mission, trying to build all the bunkers =D

[@mehtWPD]

Seriously? I have seen various discussions of the mission with infested - and I don't remember what I saw here.

[@mehtWPD]

Whole speedrun is so... amusing

[@Fantastish29]

What did Nove feel at 30:35??

Would love to near a narrated run at some stage Stu, your notes are great but ... I'm lazy :D.

Дружище, я это точно знаю. Legacy of the void ты просто легко уничтожишь)

[@gamesgo3942]

Stu это склейка или прохождение заново?

[@levsonc]

Написано же, что segmented speedrun - значит, склейка.

[@nightmareTomek]

Haven't played this campaign, but Nova being so tanky and having this life regen... This isn't a strategy game, it's a moba. Looks like playing Pudge or something.

[@And_rei228]

if she had a weapon like a shotgun, and also attracted her to herself, then yes, the similarity with Dota is 100%
