 The thing to note, though, is that you need a fairly long choke to pull it off without sunks hitting your wall. Edit: Also, thanks a lot randomKo_Orean, for this thread, and for the tests. It's a really fun read :D | ||

Sit at 3 bases, get adequate tanks and anti-air (turrets, goliaths). Build only 4 factories and 2 with machine shop. Spend the rest on 2-4 starports. If you need to, you can also produce wraiths to ward off dropships. This strat sacrifices alot of map control and requires some nice suprise timing. Good luck hopefully you can pull it off. | ||

If they spot your probe count, then that's OK. or...alternatively... TvZ, do a 4SCV/4Rax rush, send out your fifth scv immediately when it's done warping to like mid of map or something, build rax, while rax is bulding build scvs, stop scv prod. at 7, then once rax is 3/4 way done send 2~3 scvs to opponent's base and do a boxer-esque bunker rush. | ||

Would you even be able to afford a bunker doing this?

I remember doing this on Lost Temple when dropping the 6 o'clock natural (not the fixed Lost Temple, the original shitty one), although I have no doubt that OP could actually make it work in a proper game far better than I did. I've always loved doing cute building blocks and pylon tricks (powering cannons up a cliff, through a wall, whatever) | ||

Shauni beat IdrA using this build (he went normal 10 gate i think, but still its viable) | ||

I would assume it would start with a 3hatch mutie build then instead of switching to lurkers, you try and mass up as many muties as possible (careful of the vessels) and prop up a queens nest, and infest his command centers with an all in mutie bomb aimed directly at his CC go go randomKo_Orean hwaiting! | ||

I've experimented with it in the past and had actually very impressive results, but I'm not a terribly good zerg player so I'd like to see your success with it. Basically the idea is instead of spire get a queens nest. Gol heavy builds will melt to hydras anyways, and if they go tank heavy you just slow them up with your hydra while your queen energy builds, then broodling the hell out of their tanks, especially so that they splash themselves. It's also a much faster hive so if they're going very gol heavy you can hive quickly and try to get out some defilers which make gols useless. Yes I know I said queen, but try it you'll be surprised =D has this been overlooked? i've tried hydraqueen before and it can work wonders if timed right. granted, the past few games i've used this the queens popped way late but once you get it down i'm sure it'll be a viable alternative. | ||

Make a reaver and a shuttle. Load the shuttle with the reaver and a probe. Map needs to be like destination or something, where you can fly the shuttle directly ontop of the rap going from main to natural, without the shuttle being detected. Pylon off the ramp. Proceed to watch SCV's struggle to escape from main -> natural, then lol as your reaver racks up 50 kills. | ||

Nice idea but there is few problems with this idea: first you need to drop probe first then run shuttle with reaver to min line then drop rvr to make scv's run, then pick it up run to the wall then drop again...and your probe should live up until he lifted his rax to get scv's thru and build stuff to this actually work. Not really doable. | ||

Instead of getting siege upgrade and tanks, get vult upgrades instead (mines and then speed). I'd imagine this would require a much higher micro ability, and would get owned bad if he got ovie speed really fast for no reason, but I'm curious to see what would happen if a player of your ability tried to pull it off. | ||

Not really doable. What are you talking about? That's pretty incoherent there... What do you mean lifted his rax? Who the hell keeps his barracks on his wall after he has already expanded? the barracks will obviously be floated out to shield for tanks. So what's left is a barracks-thick opening that you fill with pylons, it's not that hard. | ||
