I used to be a terran user but recently i switched to toss, i usually have pretty strong pvz but recently ive been losing alot to fast ultras, everything i get gets owned by the ultras except for archons but i usually dont have enough gas for massive archons, so what is the best counter to ultras?
There's no producing this perfect pose, hit the streets in the freshest clothes. Rip the stage, and bless the shows. Spit the flows and hit the do'

sair+dts since most zergs doesnt mix hydras with their ultra ling army... (if zerg has enough gas to tech to ultras than u should have enough gas to get sair/dt/archon otherwise u doing something wrong...)
it all returns to nothing...and only truth can really set us free.

Carriers only if you have half the map, else not. Most costeffective is sair/dt if you can control it well, and time well.

Dragoons are nice vs Ultras.

But often there are not only Ultras...

so i play Dragoon+Archon.

And dont forget Ultras are fat stupid things...
use ur micro and some storms vs lings.

'fast ultras' probably meant you weren't applying enough pressure and he just took map and massed. You are already dead if he has enough expansions to supply mass ultras/cracks. Try to work on your earlier game to prevent him from getting ultras as fast.

dude, are u talking about a 2 gas ultra rush? cuz someone did that on enter dragon on me other day, with only a main and his natural (gas) he went mass ultra, which ran out of steam really fast and was pretty stupid.

i think a big "chowmein" of toss units does fine, usually more goons when ultras come out unless u saving gas for archons etc. zeals for a wall with archons/goons/reaver wateva behind. when ur zeals die make more and retreat to cannons. also u gotta stop him from gettin stuff, whether u make cannons on ledge, dt, ht drop WATEVA just dont let him expand adn power. or hit his main and own his tech thatll slow him for a min or 2

A firebat to your Zergling.
