Sometimes I try wraith/tank push as well, and it's a little more effective. in general though, there isn't much you can do | ||

just do the classic 2 fac tank, defend his silly drop, float your rax to spot the cliff and have the exp for free .. ..go gollies yourself with later port, kill his drop with no loss to yourself and be ahead. seems pretty easy. | ||

TvT is cool if both players are good at it, but I suck so when my opponent choses Terran I dread the ensuing game. | ||

Tank opening works really well against 2 fact golies. Research siege, leave like 1 tank at home, with good micro its possible to defend 4 goli drop with like 1-2 tanks. His siege will be late, you'll be able to do some damage with turret/tank. Also try going goli without dropship. The money saved by foregoing the dropship tech will buy you faster siege tanks and a faster expo. There is enough variation imo. | ||

I remember watching a TvT game, forgot who exactly. They were at 12 and 6, and had the same damn exact builds going. They even lifted off their rax and floated at each other at the same time. I think they only broke mirror was when one went mines and the other siege. | ||

It's extremely good vs anything but 2 port wraith, so u might want to look into that If you go gas before rax on this you can have cloakwraiths and siege mode with constant wraith/tank building .. its a nice art build .. | ||

works for me and takes the need to use mucho dropships as you can try to - nuke harrass expansions - nuke lingering dropships - no red spot - perimeter nuking: you can nuke tanks staying out of siege range by using blastradius for enhanced range. - nuke tank encampments and follow up with all army go - try to make him "flee" before a nuke into your sieged tanks ;-) A REALLY cool special I had in a recent game: EMP his comsats and then nuke "right in his face" where he even knows where your ghost is. Opponent was so busy checking his comsat that he left half his army in the nuke ;-) and went "wtf, didn't scan for a minute or so, :o" Sounds like a newbie strat and it is in a way. But just don't try funky stuff at start, make a flawless build getting fastest tank/turret and early game should be survivable. And lategame you'll have an assload of interesting possibilities. + if you are contained you should have a ghost in a ship to nuke harrass and also possibly be able to nuke your way to freedom + dropdefence: if he dropped his golli / tanks and sieged, you can run in your cloaked ghosts, lock sieged tanks and take out the dropforce with attackmoving metal armies ;-) + you can rely on lockdown vs battlecruiser so just tech straight to 3 3 metal (tank/gol), ignoring air tech. This is highly cost efficient, as Battlecruisers tend to majorly "slurp" your gas. + if he builds bcs remember to get emp/+ one vessel to emp those medics that he'll build for restore spell and emp medics before lockdown. gg, expecting to loose, you'll be amazed how often this wins (at least for me) ;-) | ||

If he knows where the ghost is, all he has to do is move an scv right next to the cloaked ghost then siege attack til the ghost is dead. That's pretty cool, didn't think about that ole "antilurkertrick". Anyways, it's actually a lot harder to pull of then vs lurks/dts, nukeing ghosts don't blur and there are no spikes either, so you really have to remember the last position of blur. Good luck; if it stops you from moving away your scvs, all the sweeter if you fail to get the ghost ;-) | ||

For some, TvT is fun to watch but not fun to play For some, TvT is fun to play but not to watch For some, TvT is not fun to watch and no fun to play IMO TvT is a great match up in it, almost all terran units are used games are usually long and therefore more strategy and less tactics involved long games also mean greater satisfaction to win | ||
