You might want to post a replay too, if only to show us a scout rush. If you don't feel like doing that, you can experiment in singleplayer/kick out the comp when the countdown starts. | ||

So do produce lots of hydralisks pleace use one of your first four drones to build an extractor and put the other three on gas. If you have saved up around 1000 gas you are ready to mine minerals again, now just build hydralisks and kill that lame protoss player going for his standard scout rush. Srsly  | ||

Anyways, to the OP: I'd highly suggest purchasing Brood War. It's $10 USD and the strategy is supported so much more than vanilla. If you are simply playing on vanilla for fun, then use your brood war knowledge, and just make up a build. It shouldn't be too complicated. I'd imagine it would go something like: 12 hatchery (at expansion) 11 pool 13 gas Build hydralisk den as soon as possible, and upgrade speed + range when gas allows. Then continue your hydralisk production, while throwing in metabolic boost (zergling speed) and a few lings into your army mix. | ||

Don't do 1 hatch muta, just don't. Go to the recommended threads in the strategy forum and read the complete Zerg guide and the up-to-date ZvP guide to learn some builds with more than one hatchery. | ||

The best counter is spore colony, unless you are going mass hydra. | ||

You need around 4 scourges to kill 1 scout, not to mention scout 1 hit kill scourges like bc. (It's actually a lot like scourge vs bc, it's not easy unless you overwhelm in numbers) The best counter is spore colony, unless you are going mass hydra. As far as I know, scouts' air attack is explosive and thus only does half damage to scourges. Their projectiles also sometimes stuff up and don't kill the scourge fast enough, unlike sairs whose attacks are just instant. So if you can get a few scourges out, they'll be able to kill off any scout which comes, odds are it won't have speed. | ||

There are no corsairs in vanilla. At any rate, scout rushing is semi-viable in BW: Nal_rA did it to July on Raid Assault II if my memory serves me correctly. | ||

I know they kill overlords a lot faster and can kill drones unlike corsairs. | ||

beat savior in a BoX i assume hydra with range would be a fine counter, but light air does well against zerg in general. | ||
