I posted this as a reply to skyglow's wall guide, but since it is on page 7, I figure many people will miss it and I do think every terran should know this. Lets just keep those Zealots out shall we?

Wow, like 2 weeks ago i did a research on this subject also, because I tought that you didnt explore all the options. I have a good bunch of screenshots which i'll post here and you can include it in your post if you like them. I think you'll find some of them interesting.
I was going to create a thread, but I just couldnt get myself to start typing. I covered all possibilities of making CC, Barax and supply next to each other. Some block better than the others, some are useful, some suck. What I really focused on is exploiting the matrix, so keep an eye on which parts of the buildings overlap before going to do it yourself. After I did this research, went to play some games, it took me some time to actually use the things I learned, because I kept doing it wrong. Anyway, have a look:
  • CC+Baracks combos:

    1. Baracks left, CC right:

    2. Baracks up, CC down:

    3. Baracks right, CC left:

    4. Baracks down, CC up:

  • Barracks + Supply combos
    + Show Spoiler +

    1. Supply left&right of the baracks:

    2. Supply up&down of the barracks:

  • CC + supply combos:
    No matter how you put them next to each other, not a marine nor a zealot can go in between.
    (Had a picture of it, but apparently I dont have it anymore. This one shouldnt be too hard to understand )



Practical use:
I made all starting positions for the RLT and RHIII so that you get the idea of how to use this in a real game.

  • Reverse Temple:

    1. 12 o'clock position:

    2. 6 o'clock position:

    3. 8 o'clock position:
    [image loading]


    4. (Once again, it seems that the 2 o'clock position of RLT has disappeared from my hard drive so you'll just have to do this as a homework ^ ^)

  • Rush Hour III:

    1. 3 o'clock position:

    2. 7 o'clock position:

There, hope it helps! cheers!

So to summarise these pictures in one sentence that is easy to remember:

The smaller building to the right of the bigger building.

Thanks for the work, but you and skyglow!

For some reason the "And trust me, he don't want to go here." part had me cracking up.

Awesome post and thank you for leading me to the other thread about this. It can come in handy.

yeah, thats a good way to remember. However, in my opinion, its the angles that are fascinating. With this knowledge, you can block basically any position on any map. Next time a person does 1 zealot before goons, you'll be happy to see it.
I actually managed to survive 2gate zealots for quite a while by using the techique.
