I wish CholeraSC hadn't pulled a disappearing act. English BW casts were the highlight of my high school years, and Cholera was the best of all of them. I really hope he didn't die of cholera on his way to Oregon.
@typoded yes. yes, I do. The other guy spent his resources on another expo. Boxer was able to get four rax AND an academy while the other side had perhaps a total of 8 zerglings by the time Boxer was attacking in earnest, maybe no more than four before that.
@typoded exactly, the opponent thought boxer was scouting, simple as that. The opponent did a very poor job of scouting after the initial drone (as in, nothing until that one zergling after boxer started attacking) , there was no way he could have known about boxer's rax until it was too late. If boxer had just sent a regular m&m, chances are he would have made it to the expo right as it was finishing/finished and knocked it down no problem.
From Wikipedia: "Marines [from the English adjective marine, meaning of the sea, via French marin(e), of the sea from Latin marinus ("maritime"),] are military forces similar to the army. Historically the marine forces or marine corps are infantry forces that are part of the country's navy. However, in some countries the marine force or marine corps is under independent command." The marines in Starcraft are derived from Warhammer 40K's Space Marines.
Usually Zerg because I know the race the best, and sometimes Protoss because I really like its wide number of tech choices. I'm horrible at Terran, but strangely intrigued by that race at the same time ^^
For replays, definitely. Korean VODs, depends on whether I can find HQ videos, like my All-Skins Matches. But for a lot of the classic games I can't find any original videos, so I'm forced to use the flash videos from UA-cam, and there the quality will still be shoddy. The present-day games should be better, though, so try the &fmt=18 trick on them.
true. although, the latest patch has now allowed replays to save the chats that you see. you still cant see the ones one the opposite team or whispered.
@ikameozero that's exactly what i meant, if he wouldn't have made those drones had he seen the attack coming, but since he did the rax drop play he didn't which is why he wouldn't have just lost with a regular m&m build.
Boxer's like Napoleon. He does absolutely insane attacks that nobody would expect him to have the balls to do and causes utter panic among the opponent.
@ikameozero your statement literally proved my point exactly. If he was doing nothing but mass drones, regular M&M (or literally any other army for the matter) would have steamrolled the enemy base. He didn't even have sunkens in his expo.
Marines have land, air, and water forces. The real point of the Marine Corps is to be a special branch of the military that can respond to crises faster than the others, since (I believe) they are the only branch that can be deployed in a foreign country without Congress' approval. I could be wrong about the last part, but mainly, Marines are higher trained and the first to fight.
@killerloro It's called Blizzard's standard built in replay feature. I'd have to go through and look, but I believe it's really really simple. ~TheDarkDragoon
Right, and what are Starcraft marines if not units that get dropped off on the space equivalent of amphibious missions (dropships, rax float lol)? Large spacecraft (in fiction obviously) are generally referred to as Navy, and the troops they carry with them would be marines. See Doom, Aliens, Warhammer 40k, etc etc
@brainwasher9876 except the zerg knew he wasn't doing a regular m&m and he couldn't have anyway since he stayed on one bare rax so long, so if he WAS doing a regular m&m it would've been stopped. not to mention that the zerg was watching for what came out boxer's front door not vice versa.
@brainwasher9876 you can't just say oh man if he had more units right now he could've won. you have to first get units which involves building more stuff by which time your opponent can make his own stuff. the reason the zerg had no units is because he thought boxer was expanding.
Zerg noob sees 4 barracks pumping units and still chose to make only 2 sunkens lol. But the moment he fly barracks to base Zerg is already gg. T can pick a base with less sunkens and clean it. Then just wait for tank and choke single base Zerg to death.
right. but that is not the case in the united states. blizzard is an usa company. but you are right about them being specialized in amphibious assault. but it just seems right for the soldiers to be called marines. you cant call em navy becuse theyre not on the water, not air force cause they dont fly, not army because... your whole units are the 'army' so marines is the simplest most appropriate term for the basic ground infantry.

"GG from -" sees name "...the Zerg player..."
Lol after almost ten years this thing popped out in Blizzard site as an article for StarCraft Remastered. Long live Lost Temple!
@typoded yes. yes, I do. The other guy spent his resources on another expo. Boxer was able to get four rax AND an academy while the other side had perhaps a total of 8 zerglings by the time Boxer was attacking in earnest, maybe no more than four before that.
Boxer in another level, when Starcraft it was begining in the competition era!
@typoded exactly, the opponent thought boxer was scouting, simple as that.

Excellent videos!

oh my god...
was expecting a bit more bat on drone destruction but well,wow
Finally a commentary that pronounces the tier 2 main Zerg building as "Lair" instead of "Layer".
Nice commentary. Keep it up!
Actually best strategy probably would be to block the barracks landing with a few drones :)
Usually Zerg because I know the race the best, and sometimes Protoss because I really like its wide number of tech choices. I'm horrible at Terran, but strangely intrigued by that race at the same time ^^
wow, the quality is really good in this video. Thanks for making an english version
nice commentary. So great BoxeR :D
Oh yeah I remember this game back in the day many years ago, watched it on bnet with a friend :)

Boxer knew where the opponent was because of the amount of time it took, and the direction, for the overlord to reach his base.
I liked that play, it was innovative and a touch cheesy but, really entertaining.
true. although, the latest patch has now allowed replays to save the chats that you see. you still cant see the ones one the opposite team or whispered.

This was definitely a pure panic win indeed. Good point.

Looks so much better than sc2. sc2 units look cute. These look scary.
I know exactly what you mean. Sc1 is bestt
Lester Brunt Sc1 marked an era. Sc2 is just another good game
thanks for this compilation !
looking back on this replay, boxer probably could have just won using a regular m&m build. The other guy had almost nothing in his base.
Awesome quality on the video.
being a firebat must be so fun
Sweet, sweet nostalgia.
the overlord scouted his base way too quick for the zerg's base to be in the 2oclock or 12 o'clock position

~TheDarkDragoon
LMAO. that's crazy, nicely done.
actually at the time of this game, in-game messages aren't recorded in replays.
@Vkid1412 it's a replay, you can't see chat messages. every player has to say gg it's some king of game "politeness"... like Good day or Goodbye...
Right, and what are Starcraft marines if not units that get dropped off on the space equivalent of amphibious missions (dropships, rax float lol)?
Large spacecraft (in fiction obviously) are generally referred to as Navy, and the troops they carry with them would be marines. See Doom, Aliens, Warhammer 40k, etc etc
if the zerg would send drones to stop the barracks from landing that would be pimpest plays from the zerg
Lol not only was that epic then he's coming back so i hope he's got more clever builds up his sleeve
First, this is sick quality :) and second, thank you for the replay :)
this quality looks better than my normal game :/
wow that is totally better quality thanks alot man is that gunna be for all your vids now?
Napoleon also broke out of jail, gathered an army, started a revolution in France, and was exiled in less than 2 weeks.
@brainwasher9876 except the zerg knew he wasn't doing a regular m&m and he couldn't have anyway since he stayed on one bare rax so long, so if he WAS doing a regular m&m it would've been stopped. not to mention that the zerg was watching for what came out boxer's front door not vice versa.
gg from *looks at player's name* ...the zerg player
@Outrageouss2 that one's called "use your illusion" and no it's not boxer
He's tryng to commentate after watching it himself, he knows whats going to happen, so hes trying not to spoil anything.
Memories...
probably from the overlord which scouted boxer, it came early
not likely. you can't do much when your main is knocked out and the enemy has 4 rax actively building marines.
Anyone else from Kandyrew?
MEEEEEE!!!!
SQUAD!
omg no gg what a bm player!!!! - Trolled U
How Boxer knew the zerg won't rush him with lings or mutu or lurker or something?! He didn't EVEN SCOUT HIM!
Cholera needed to slow down a bit on the spazzy click fit with his mouse. Hard to have a seizure watching this
@Vkid1412 or maybe this was before it was customary to say gg
agreed, so very sad. charity-worth sadness almost. lol i dont think i saw even a solid 10 seconds of spamming.
@BluDrgn426
Because it is a replay
Hey all, again you can add &fmt=18 to this URL for better quality. Don't know why my audio is a little squeaky/buzzy this game, sorry about that.
what the hell....that's crazy
haha, i almost feel obligated to go on bnet play terran and give this a try now xD
I'm talking about the HD quality
i think the zerg should have sent a drone under the barracks so boxer couldn't land them
Yooooooo cholera name drop on the sc: remastered site!
@ Outrageouss2 - look for "best in my life" thats the rax walloff.
@EnchantedCharm Just a game just to remind you..
Wow just wow
they should have called them boxer marines.lol
Nice
If you select HQ it looks real.
what the hell? There was no such thing as fast expansion in TvZ back in 2004
@ericericericcc he had ONE sunken, and 4 lings. A small M&M force, or even a small force of just marines, would have bowled it over.
cause pimpest plays denote originality in thought and execution. You don't see someone making 4 barracks and landing them in the enemy base every day.
dude its a replay, in 2001 replays didn't have the text.
hahah this was when war3 was released i believe
u'd have to be running 1.16.
the problem with 1.16 is the massive lag. 30ms lag? thats brutal for many players, so iccup is still running 1.15.3
aye Cholera what race do you like to play?
Pretty sure Boxer grew up in Wisconsin.
In from blizzard themselves repping this in their blog!
Boxer is my hero
whole story of pimpest play: Boxer vs "this player"
Boxer is really legend
overlord timing
@brainwasher9876 you can't just say oh man if he had more units right now he could've won. you have to first get units which involves building more stuff by which time your opponent can make his own stuff. the reason the zerg had no units is because he thought boxer was expanding.
wow cool
sound's bad but still : amazing :D
rax rush. f'ing hilarious and awesome.
in older replays it diddnt save chat
@brainwasher9876 generally when you play zerg you make zerglings when your opponent attacks you
@typoded Well u need larvae to make zerglings and larvae dont produce that fadt
Why did war3 but his lair at the natural?
lolol I know seriously they fucking YELL its so funny
Kandyrew.
lol wtf. are you getting the navy mixed up with the marines?
True, man! :) Wtf that clicking??? U watch the game, is not like u play it! :)
Zerg noob sees 4 barracks pumping units and still chose to make only 2 sunkens lol.
But the moment he fly barracks to base Zerg is already gg. T can pick a base with less sunkens and clean it. Then just wait for tank and choke single base Zerg to death.
I mean it's boxer, I couldn't not watch it
@BluDrgn426 ah, yes, sorry
how come your graphics look so grat?
it means good game
that would be funny if they were called sailors. lol
awsome commentory man lol
its diffenrent from {}":">}{P:{":}{P{}:"./|
LOL
nice job
right. but that is not the case in the united states. blizzard is an usa company. but you are right about them being specialized in amphibious assault. but it just seems right for the soldiers to be called marines. you cant call em navy becuse theyre not on the water, not air force cause they dont fly, not army because... your whole units are the 'army' so marines is the simplest most appropriate term for the basic ground infantry.
