Flash defends recalls so well it's like feeding him units, or even a single emp... Once he cleans up the recall it's time to push and P has no storm =/ | ||

The strategy of building a jillion stargates and then six or so carriers all at once, is always a bad one (though of course if you're super far ahead it's the easiest way to just win). Before you max, you can't afford the resources; after you max, you can't afford the supply. Gradually adding carriers off two or three stargates is a lot more reasonable, at any stage of the game (2-5 bases). Goon/Carrier, supported by HT and/or DT, is a strong composition. I prefer to stick with goon/obs/shuttle/zealot until I have a ton of bases, because teching arbiters/carriers takes longer and costs more than claiming additional expansions, opening up an easy window for Terran to attack or expand... but clearly a lot of Protoss don't share my opinion. Delaying arbiters does result in less mana for stasis, which is unfortunate once Terran hits 200/200. I like the DA --> steal SCV technique because it plays into that safe style of never making big transitions, and just expanding a lot and inching up the tech tree when it's convenient. | ||

Hallucinate speed zealots or something, and then recall those hallucinated units + a mana-charged arbiter into a terran base. Then, the hallucinated zealots will eat the mines and a real recall can bring in the troops. You'll probably lose an arbiter but its better than losing all your troops AND the arbiter. | ||

I see you are trying to be the #1 Flash anti-fan. Good luck, you have some hard competition. | ||

Specifically, I kind of feel that regardless of strategies chosen most TvPs (that last till the midgame at least) come down to a Protoss player attempting to capitalize on a Terran misstep somewhere along the way. If the Terran pushes out too fast, flank and crush him, if he has sloppy positioning flank and crush him, if he neglects anti air, zealot drop and/or mass stasis him and crush him, if he doesn't defend his base well enough, recall and win. Conversely, a terran who reacts well to everything the Protoss can throw at him is exceedingly hard to beat. A terran who doesn't make any real mistakes is nigh impossible to beat. I feel like Flash is proving this point. A good Protoss is one who will bide his time, wait for an opening and pounce at just the right moment. But what if that opening never comes? What if there is no right moment, because you are playing Flash and Flash's army is ALWAYS well positioned, and is ALWAYS right where it needs to be. Its hard playing TvP as Terran because you can play a great game, do 99 out of 100 things correct, yet watch it all end in destruction because you sieged up at the wrong time and lost your army in a heartbeat. Its hard playing as Protoss because you just feel helpless when the terran doesn't give you the opening you've worked so hard to recognize and you realize its only a matter of time before the Terran Ball gets maxed and there won't be much you can do to stop it. | ||

I remember this being the case for some recent TvP I saw. | ||
