I'm almost 100% this hasn't been posted here on TL. I searched , I looked through the recommended threads, and nothing. Perhaps someone posted it under a different name?
Well, anyways, I visited GG.net (gasp -_-; and I was curious to see what they had under their 'Recommended strategy links', and voila, this came along.
It is titled 'Art Of Brood War', and hasn't been updated for about 1 year (or so it seems from the news page). It focuses on all three terran matchups. Slightly outdated, and I'd say not to take everything at face value, but to be honest, it's pretty big. For each matchup he covers a lot of stuff, just thought I'd pass this by, looks interesting IMO:

Thanks. I'll steal it for my clan websites strategy section.
|
some things are really outdated strategies but in general it looks to be a great find, i've spent about 10 minutes and im only halfway through the tvp section
|
Haha, awesome, thanks for the feedback.

He says probes mine faster because they have range.

I'm not invalidating the article, but it's pretty funny that he says you have to repair the scv making your barracks. Guess it didn't occur to him that you can hit Esc and make a different scv build it.

From what I glanced at it seemed mostly applicable, sometimes outdated, and a few times just wrong.
|
hmmm it looks old like what chill said
|
its from a time when people used to play a lot of LT, and not luna/tau/longinus. he also focuses a lot of the early/mid game. the end game parts are less detailed. still good read though. the guy who wrote it is singaporean ^^

While that is true, it is not because of the probes range. It is because of SCV's retarded acceleration rate. Probe accelerate instantly, scv accelerate slower (probe>scv) and that's the reason scv mines slower than probe/drone. Proven and Tested.

It has some good information but it would probably be of more use for players beginning starcraft or who don't know a whole lot about terran. Personally, I found the TvZ section most beneficial for me. ^^ It is outdated though so don't know. The author left bw too so it may not get anymore updates .

Theres several spelling mistakes, even though its dedicated for a terran player not a protoss player.

i love u OP..i was looking for this for months

That guide is extremely out-dated and frankly not very useful in my opinion (not trying to bash on the author, but he's missing some key points, focusing on some things I don't think he really should, etc.). The articles listed under "Recommended Threads" (for those too helpless to go looking for it on their own -- aren't I a cynic? -- see strategy forum, stickied thread) I think are definitely better. I mean... he acts like the ability to lift a CC is a net minus in TvP play. -_-;;
Even if he's just limiting his view to extremely old fashioned thinking, that shouldn't be the case, especially not on LT where floating a CC is a fairly common thing.

the guide hasnt been updated in over a year i think someone said earlier in the thread, so I dont think its that bad, it is still a year old, and stuff changes in days/weeks for some strategies

endlesswiz/nevertheendlesswiz if you guys want to look though his old posts.
Ive only skimmed it long ago. Did not seem like much to me, but what do I know, I dont play t. (though I found a post where I say i liked it, but that was as i just joined. Probably be incomprehensible/embarrassing to read my stuff from that far back)

This is such a bias post XD
He complains so much about terran's "weaknesses" compared to protoss, etc
Geez... I could compile a list of a thousand reasons why terran is imba!

Even a year ago I would have considered that guide out-dated. Hell, I haven't even PLAYED since almost a year ago, and to me that guide is totally out-dated.
That guide might have been okay circa 2004, but beyond that, I wouldn't put much stock into it. As I said, the strategy threads on THIS FORUM (which can be found in "Recommended Threads") are better reads.
Does that mean "omg don't read that guide cuz its newb?" I wouldn't go that far, but honestly, I think you'd be better off sitting down with a first person VOD of a high skilled gamer and really studying what they do than reading from that guide. It's extremely out-dated and only truly useful for *really* low skilled gamers (again, since when should lifting off be considered a weakness in TvP? -_-).
