Because Frisbees fly in curves, being good with a Frisbee requires finesse and accuracy which is why you see Frisbee players being able to toss a Frisbee across a field with just a flick of the wrist, or be able to get a Frisbee to curve from the perimeter of a park back to your intended target.īy and large, it is harder to hit targets with a Frisbee than with a baseball because Frisbees are delicate and glitch out with the slightest gust of wind. Since baseballs fly straight, being good with a baseball is about speed and power which is why baseball players wow each other with how fast they can throw a ball and how well they can slow it down, speed it up, as well as creating illusions of how far it can go and causing it to create slight curves in its trajectory. Baseballs, for the most part, fly straight (they don’t really, but that’s nitpicking) while Frisbees fly in curves (sort of, but close enough). Specifically, I would like to clarify *what* exactly Day9 was talking about, in order for people who have never played Broodwar to understand what we miss about the game.ĭay9 brought up the idea of baseballs and Frisbees. I would like to break that illusion with this blog post.

Ever since Day9 talked about Frisbees and Baseballs, people have been humming and hollering about Broodwar’s superiority to SC2’s pathing system: mostly talking about how spread out the armies were and how each unit have this “micro potential” inherent within it.
