12 nexus -> 5 gate speedlots in PvT

i did it on andromeda, was pretty fun. would get raped if they are good with vultures

i either went 1 zealot -> 2 goon
or 1 zealot -> 2 goon -> 2 goon -> + 3 gate and cita
im not sure the exact order btw
i know i got 2 - 4 goons to stop early vulture, and the natural choke wasnt huge

I'd like to see a hydra/queen build vs a mech terran. 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

tvp
7 Firebat 1 medic drop in the minline -- just because incinerating probes is that much fun. Maybe work it in with that ghost + mm idea? You need the starport for the scifac anyway, might as well do stimmed fb drops.

pvt / pvz / maybe pvt, unlikely:
hallucination timing attack. i don't know the specifics. just make it work!

pvp:
dt harass into dark archon, mc the shuttle if they go reavers

TvP- pure zeal/arbiter with a few scouts incase of wraiths, you should have enough stasis to deal with anything

ZvP or even ZvT if you can:

Late game unit composition of Ultra-Hydra with defilers. Would be so sexy.

TvZ all-in dropships around standard push timing

Go protoss, go 14 nexus. (against terran)
Then take both of your gas and tech to templar archives as soon as possible. get 1 dt, then make 7 gateways, cut probes, and mass speedzeals/archon. Then go for the kill.

The archons can disarm mines and take a billion hits while the zealots destroy everything else.

PvZ, start with 2 gate or 1 gate tech, and build scouts instead of sairs. Go for the normal zeal timing attack but use micro'ed scouts like mutas and pick off overlords etc. They stack well and 2 or 3 scouts can kill an overlord much faster than a corsair. Also they have ground attack.

Get better soon btw.

Sad that the vult idea didn't work.

I do this build often but I want to see someone else's impressions. PvT, start off standard up til core, and only make goon if you haven't killed the scout. Don't bother faking range and plop down a citadel and a second gateway. Now, this can work whether the scv sees it or not. If he sees it, all the better. Kill scv after he sees citadel FAST, then plop down a bunch of gateways. You should have around 3 or 4 in total. Now, stop gas mining once you have 150 gas after citadel, then cut probes once citadel's done. Upgrade zeal speed and mass zealots. You can play around with this build a bit and try to alter the timings but that's the general idea. Rush into their newly planted expansion and destroy everything. If they had a wall, they'd likely have lifted the rax and used it as a scout. If not, get under it asap so it can't land, If it does, get as many zeals through as possible and batter on a supply depot and kill it fast. Will own any Terran that's unprepared. Oh, and when running to their base, send 1 zealot ahead of the rest to clear mines.

Yeah and the Terran EMPs you as a routine defense and gets surprised your army vanished.
