    Transmission skip explanation: 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.

      That's very insightful, still amazed that people manage to find such workarounds for saving as many seconds as possible

    Seeing the nukes land perfectly on the Tal’darim forces put a smile on my face. Well done Stu.

    Man, this inspires me to run the campaigns again. Thank you!

    It was a blast to see all the little optimisations, and how on-top of the game plan you were. Do you have a document with timestamps that tells you what to do when?
    Really looking forward to the SC speedrun series. Recently the WoL Nightmare mode became popular with several people playing it. Speedruns of that would be very interesting. Maybe after LotV?

      For this mission I only had timestamps written down for the last few minutes, which are the most crucial. The earlier parts are more relaxed and there is some time to think about what's coming up next.
      For the final mission though, I had basically every click planned out for the first two minutes or so.

    That neat trick at the end was just perfect. I repeated it frame by frame and yeah, it requires to be very precise with everything or else it can easily be ruined. After the final mission, do you plan on moving to other games? or peraphs other modes, such a Co-op, or maybe the Starcraft Mass Recall mod?

    Now we are not just beating Jinara, we are making Alarak thinking that killing her is a better strat.

      Between his friendly mannerisms and the name of his Fleet, who could have guessed that he would turn out to be a bad guy? 🤔

    I'm sorry if you've already been asked about this 1000 times, but do you play co-op? are there any super difficult challenges from there that you can show us?

    • @StuGames
      @StuGames  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven't played too much co-op because the grind to level up all of the characters is too daunting for me.

    Wish you would do dawn of Tiberium age campaigns, they are fking brutal. I wonder how you would tackle those. You would probably get a lot less views though.

    Speedruns are just regular spec-ops training and you can't convince me otherwise.

    I'm really sad they didn't stick to tradition and gave alarak the final campaign and have a bad guy winning.

    Sacrificing your armor for stupid army guys!? That’s lame…. oh those army guys.
    I forget that star craft has power armor guys that make the best and most well equipped Brotherhood of Steel Power Armor Knights look like weak and pathetic babies.
