I don't know much about other MUs but in PvZ, go FE with 1 cannon and when your scouting probe dies, make two more cannons. Keep scouting the zerg with either another probe if something feels funny or your sair. Mostly just don't get caught with your pants down by a tech switch really.. | ||

lol ppl just stop you with no. oh and no. everytime i see someone go that route i just smile, contain for reaver, bombard the fuck out of him and march my men right through. to OP: keep in mind that the builds ppl just stated are good for all tech in the MU. HOWEVER, if you can scout him (opponent) long enough to see his tech route then there are much better builds to go after. for example pvp, if you him the enemy have temp archive then you can suspect him getting dt thus you get robo for obs. if he gets robo first then you go get reaver or go do something else. in pvt, if terran siege expand, go double expand, if he does 2fact or w.e then get obs for safety | ||

Only if they're stacked  (which given the range of yamatos they really need never be.) | ||

Master them and you shouldn't have a notable problem losing early game. Only if they're stacked (which given the range of yamatos they really need never be.) BC's are basically always stacked enough to be destroyed by Storm... | ||

Over time you will learn that your build must adapt to what you see your opponent doing (given that you can keep your scout alive for long enough). This holds true ESPECIALLY for PvZ. A lot of what you do is based on what you scout in the zerg's base. | ||

And forge cannon is only situationally better than robo and obs. In 4 gate goon, cannons are faster detection than obs, so they're the best way to stop DTs. In just about every other build, though, cannons are worse than obs. | ||

I always seem to lose in early game, no matter what race, but if i can survive until mid-to-late game, i almost always win. What are the safest builds for each respective matchup? what do you usually lose to? what does the opponent do? if its something that allways happens, then it would be easy thinking of a way to counter it? when i go for a safe opening i go 2-gate range obs. be a little defensive and scout the opponent for push of exp with obs, until i feel i have a large enough army to move out and expand. | ||
