when they go sair/dt they always want to exp with the dt after they kill the lords near they're base, so what i always do is 3 hatch (i always go 2 hatch main -> speed lings -> exp) hydra and send all my lords towards his base with my hydra under them (of course leave 1/2 lords in ur base for dt there). He can't exp then with his dt, cuz you got hydra/lords there. Usually they have 1 gate if they do this, so often you can even break through they're defence and win the game quite fast

those hydra strats will not kill a GOOD toss player performing this strat, best is to power hard with a spore colony and get lurker/spire/ol speed/then drop (all of it) , take ur natural , and then just do whatever is needed to kill him, go hive or take islands or macro, but fast hive is always nice with islands ( cracklings/ultra ) -,-; do mass crackling drops on his main and harass him etc etc, prevent him from taking other mains by having a group of lings patrol and targeting probes etc..typical zvp

if he's going corsair just build den and research fast hydra, cos' u don't know if he's going revears or templars. Then just tech lair and research fast overlords and then lurkers/range. If he's trying to build exp without storms/revears just mass hydra from 3 hatch and u will crush like 90% of toss.

I would also like to take this oppertunity to plug the amazingness of Burrow.

Often a man who has chosen this strat (as long as its not LATE game) will not have enough observers to support it. Burrow some hydra and bait him with some seemingly unprotected ovies. Once he is right over you with his sairs, you can usually unborrow and get at least 3 if you've burrowed right. This helps to prevent him from getting so many sairs that your ovies die in like 3 shots.

are you kidding? a 3 hatch hydra who then later upgrades overlord speed will rape asshole of an early dt/sair. it may not kill them because they put a shitload of cannons but it sure as hell will halt them for the longest time

Agreed.

People doing that.. o_O If done right the ht's will be there early enough -.- And if cross spots, which is when this build is most used, it takes sooo long to get ols there :o

NO?

You get such a ridiculous amount of gas

You can get like a million high templars if you see them do this..

And since there's NO tech you can just high templar drop and rape the fuck out of the zerg+island which basically puts you in a SHITTY position.

Going hydra however, can work vs pretty much anything with good hydra control. But you need to be going for speed overlords -.-

Well, in general I think a protoss will only go DT/sair when they have gained atleast a gas expansion.
This should give you adequate time for researching overlord speed and both hydralisk upgrades. In my opinion 3 hatch hydra probably is the best strategy for dealing with this early game along with overlord speed. I think the most important thing in ZvP is always to keep them trapped. Don't give them any expansions easily. Once you secure a third gas, you can likely tech hive and with a Greater spire, get rid of those annoying corsairs with some devourers of your own.

3 hatch hydra is imo the most retarted strat vs good toss. its so easy to play vs as a toss. you kill overlords. make enough cannons in time. get storm and 1 dt while expanding with cannons and kill the zerg after u got a big fat army.
sometimes the strat gets lucky (or the player) and gay stuff happen

.. We are talking about a 1 gate tech build where you expand after your first dt and sair has cleared the front of your base..

i think good muta control (haras) into lurks/ling or just mass hydra is good. kalashni zvp is like muta haras to take out tempz or draw storms while going 4 hat hydra mass. i like that
