In contrast to the messy slugfest that is hellbat drops TvT, Innovation adds on skill at execution. Back in the heyday of WoL Barracks before Depot TvZ rushes and high winrates against Toss, I always told my friends that Terrans don't need a nerf, they already have to play TvT. Tanklines, drops, walls of turrets, all the trappings that were present prior to Patch 1.1.0 in late September 2010. Now, it is quite easy to concentrate on putting as many hellbats as you can into his base. After that, use your own vikings and turrets to prevent his retaliation in like manner or with widow mines and bio.
If any of the build order is in error, send PM. I hope to give Terrans in TvT a solid way to play off the metagame from the race's brilliant hero.
EDIT: Manor lol
