hahaha what

original sucks

says everyone with no skill...

That makes no sense at all. Original has less skill involved because there's less options to use (and defend against). In BW, you actually have to alter your strategy depending on the situation

In original there is much less options and therefore it is much easier to have one strategy. If you watch the pros play BW, they vary their game quite often.

There are more variables so of course there are going to be more strategies...that's just logic...but to say that the original was very one dimentional is just not true.

So there's more strategies but it requires less skill? I'm sorry but you just shot yourself in the foot.

more viable strategies means more things to memorize. More build orders to execute, more unit interaction to maintain, more strategies to defend against, better understanding of unit to unit comparison.

Every aspect of the game is more complex and requires more knowledge and attention to properly react. How does this not take more skill?

More potenial skill, but sadly that doesn't follow through to actual skill. Most of the skilled players played original and most of the people that say that original sucks 9/10 just arn't good at SC. Notice I didn't say BW lacked skill....b/c its there, but the perchentage of skilled players on original in any given game is greater than that of BW.
