I was on the reddit chatroom and someone said that they found a build TvP that was pretty good, and wanted someone to do it on. I volunteered to try. Basically, it was a standard Stim Timing push, but using a Barracks to gain sight up the cliff, and make so the units attacking from above. It seemed like I could have held it off, but it works fairly well, as it wastes no scans and can apply pressure without having to worry about force fields cutting the forces in half. The stim wasn't that bad to deal with, but the fact that zealots can't attack and marines and marauders basically are able to attack without being ripped to shreds is pretty good. It's like the scout factory, except its a barracks and it's not really for scouting, it's for vision. This is especially good because it allows an extra mule instead of a scan to get vision, or fear of the Force Field splitting forces in half.

Well...

First up, you're clearly not very good players. Just putting that out there, there's a lot why you lost to this then his rax float.

Second, a Factory would be more efficient. In fact, there is a common timing attack with 2 or 3 rax and a proxied factory floated to inside their base for a few hellions. I don't do this because, well, like so many of those early Terran aggression builds (the ones that don't rely on getting your starport up before expanding), you run straight into 4gate and asplode.
