That and I love transitioning to carriers in pvz, it's so fun to watch all the hydras go pop! Anyone else have this experience with sair+reaver? Shout it out! fyi, if anyone wants to get good at sair reaver, there was a thread in the strategy forums a couple days ago, it was really good and had a lot of really good replays that can teach the basic BO (core at 22 etc.) HF GL GG.   | ||

 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. | ||

Yeah, but I've found that you mass cannons at your nat because you should have a bunch of minerals left over from going a gas-intensive build like reaver sair. With a good pathway blocking, 10 cannons or so, and a reaver or two, it'll take a while. Plus, I've found making some DT's to be so useful, They don't dare send their ovies everywhere, cuz I mean, who send ovies everywhere against reaver sair? But thanks for the advice, I'm gonna go practice some games and see if I can find someone to practice this BO with. :D | ||

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. | ||

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 ): ). 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. | ||

Ideally long before 3k. | ||

Ahahaha I for one dislike Corsair / Reaver, seems like too big of a gamble for me, if you fuck up anything (no Corsairs, no Shuttles, no Reavers) you will die a quick and painful death ;_; | ||

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. Yes, zerg is so hard and toss is so easy. QQ more. | ||
