Is the best upgrade when you get your second hive up.
I've been practicing a lot with one hive fades so I can hit those damn marines who move just as fast on me without blink.
And I can tell you, adrenaline fade is much better than the celerity fade. The fact that you can also make them waste ammo by blinking around and up and down makes it even better.
I think the primary reason why people get celerity is because they aren't accustomed to blinking very short distances. Because the very reason why the fade is so good is because of blink, but people would rather try to run to the marine if it's say....3 meters or so, but you can just blink as well.
Stop being lazy, try fading with one hive, and then start using adrenaline.

i converted over from adrenaline fade because i found cel fades alot easier to run away with due to their speed... <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I use to love adrenaline, but with more experience with fading, celerity pwns.
I will never ever go back to adrenaline, even in combat where levels go over 10, I'll get every upgrades, then, adrenaline and cloaking.
If adrenaline was twice has good I miiight take it, but nah!
Celerity for teh(well 4 me) win
I don't think there is a "best" mc upgrade, at least for fades, they're all good.
i.e on ns_metal I would have chosen adrena and terrorised marine start(damn big area).
on ns_nothing, silence...why?, alot of vents and small sideway corridors +no one expects that a fade have silence.
My play style is often most hit and run, but sometimes i liek to play with my prey and blink around a bit(with celerity) meta before the final blink and swipe kill.
tbh though i dont usually need adren for a fade with just blink an swipe bcus i try to click my mouse at certain times rather than hold it down an watch my energy waste away an leave me running for dear life <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Isn't it the other way around?

Yeha!
Front line morale destroyer baby.
I mean this in the assumption that mc is first which is a rare thing but i quite like sometimes but can be a bit of a rape for a fade without regen bcus if its only one hive 3rd ability wont be unlocked obviously so they cant get health from any other way than run back to the hive as fast as they can
Plus, if the fade is already evolved in time for the hive to go up, he can very VERY quickly switch to a more offensive role with his second chamber upgrade and abilities.
i know a few people in the clan scene who use adren fade although most use celer
if i go cara fade ( to protect the hive area ) i do use celerity for hit and run
but in matches i play as a late regen fade and pick adren so i can stay in the combat area easier, also so while im blinking i have enough adren to meta once
its a personal choice and i think either upgrade is feasible
Big open maps go celerity, whereas small maps like ayumi where you get caught on every other courner you need a lot of blink power to make up for all the weird geometry of the level.
Occasionally I will find myself lacking the ability to swipe because I've been running around in a group of marines for too long, but seriously, against a good marine that will never happen because you wouldn't have the luxury of swiping that many times, even if you had adren. Plus there's the fact that your back is a tempting target, a problem which adren does nothing to solve. Celerity speeds your retreat giving you that much more leeway.
This is a case made for celerity without even considering two hives - metabolize, which pretty much invalidates any advantages adren may have had. Switch to 2, attack briefly, switch to 3, attack once, switch to 1, attack as much as possible, switch to 3, attack once, switch to 2, blink away.
Anyway, I can't see ever using adren unless you're a lerk (umbra, gas) or a gorge (healspray), and even then you're risking your own life by doing it. A celerity pancaking lerk? good luck.

Saying that when I play combat my first movement upgrade is always celerity.
Sir, these are old news.
I get Regeneration then Adrenaline
If you are blinking right, you will not run out of energy. Holding down the button is the most common error. Throw in a meta here and there, and adren is completely redundant.
When fighting a heavy train with 3 hives, acid rocket can be really helpful. It's the only time a lerk can't do the same job, and usually do it better. Fades are better off taking hits for skulks and engaging in melee skirmishes. And if you're going to use rockets, you really need adrenaline.

Isn't everybody jut saying that it depends on playing style cos I could just say :
And I can tell you, celerity fade is much better than the adrenaline fade.
Thats what I belive, I could'nt bear going back to adrenaline like in my new days with fading...celerity requires a bit more skill, considering you need metabolise all the time, but in the end is worth it.
Silence, well, I like giving marines a chance to know I'm comming at least! hehe
