hm, Sair + reaver = good.

I'm not a protoss player but on the occasions where I have used reaver sair in a PvZ it has worked extremely well. It's just so fun dropping like 6-7 reavers right into their main, everything in sight is obliterated in seconds

The thing I found you have to watch out for his 3 hatch mass speedling to tame your fe cannons. Even with a couple zeals and all of your nat probes they can easily break in.

Yea, I tried reaver/sair for the first time and won by a bigger margin than usual as well. The hardest part is the beginning, using the reaver to defend before you can attack, and if the opponent is skilled in countering it then it also is hard with a low reaver/sair count. I noticed that if you make it past the initial stages of the strategy fine, it becomes easier and easier because you are limiting his expos and harassing him with an increasingly larger reaver/sair army, and you begin to have excess minerals as you gain more map control, thus funding a ground army, which you can either use in unison or as a double-pronged attack with your reaver/sair. Great strat [:

Doesn't work on Terran though (I tried ): ).

Anyone who transitions to carrier after Sair reaver, while probably going to win the game, is LAME.

Lol, yeah, we all wished reaver sair worked against terran, :D, wait actually maybe it could, if you could get dweb amd dweb their defenses.

Hm, new things to try all the time.

One question though, like how many gateways do you guys usually get? and how fast do you get them? I always end up with like 3000 minerals whenever I go reaver sair and it sucks to have that many minerals.

You need to block your cannons with some buildings. Makes them 10 billion times more effective, and it's a ZvP nightmare trying to break down the front door if there's a few templar or reaver there as well.

Yeah, sair reaver isn't any harder than a regular game. It's just shitcocks like Combat-EX that make FPVODs of themselves doing it saying it's like trying to ride a unicycle over razor blades in the wilderness.

Haha, first time I tried Sair/Reaver I was like "oh yeah, those little speedy things are scourges" and lost horribly.

Always fun to hear a strat working out for someone though.

Of course it works, all you have to do is plunk down 4 reavers and mash the "build scarabs" button. The zerg has to either see it coming and set up a perfect ambush with scourge, or see it coming and set up a perfect flank with hydralisks.
