The original strategies I've posted up there are mainly just as examples, and may very well suck badly You guys feel free to fix them.

The idea is to lay the foundation for what may later become a useful guide for all up-and-coming Protoss players, and maybe useful for all. What would be particularly useful now:
  • BOs involving Corsair tech
  • Variations on the rush themes
  • Other Economy strategies/BOs

Thanks

I dont like the cheese definition 100%; I dont think its bm in any way, its just a risky playstyle.
A player loosing to cheese can not say "I lost, but he cheesed", if you die to it, its your own fault.
All imo.

Good work. I can't really add to PvZ much, but we could do the same for the odder MUs...

Orome,
I hope to get other matchups going after I've got a little more content on this crucial matchup. Hopefully people can give replays, references, etc. here.

Jtan,
Notice the quotes on "bad manner" I mean that people (especially newbies) will often call cheese strategies bad manner, whether they really are or not. In my opinion, a strategy gets what it deserves; if they beat you with it, you only look like more of a fool for calling it BM. I mean, think about it -- according to the BM sayers, Boxer and Nal_Ra would be the most bad manner players of all time! I think that as long as it's legit and it isn't hacking, it's all good

Thanks ahk-gosu,
Right now I'm just trying to round up PvZ BOs, where a few of those sounded like PvT (all the ones involving goons). I've never heard of a DT drop with gas before gateway on a land map; any BO and reference for that?

If someone could contribute good BOs for +1 weapon and corsair/DT rush, I would really appreciate it

Hrmm.... quite the effort you put into that post... you have HIGH expectations for this thread. I don't want to create a self fulfilling prophesy, but I don't see it happening quite like you imagine it.

i get a pylon at 7-8 then gateway. make zlots to cover a ramp or to just protect or harass. cyber. 1 starport and get a goon if hes harassing your block. pump corsairs and get weapon 1 upgrade for air. if your daring get fleet beacon and get d web ive had a lot of success with this. when a few sairs are going up get another gate and citadel then templar. get some dts but dont forget that dts die really fast if they are detected and you must have zlots and goons to support them. they are assassins not grunts.

if he has hydras get weapon 1 for ground because hydras take 2 hits from dts if the weapon up is done. just kill his detectors and let the dts do their work. this has worked really well vs muta rushes because the dts eat up that spire in like 10 seconds. adjust as is needed.

Look. Protoss vs Zerg is all about Toss getting the same amount of expos as the zerg and zerg trying to take more. The only thing is, is that toss never attacks in time and always over estimates zerg. It's pretty simple in micro/macro from there.

that is so wrong, dont ever pump sair early game not even vs mutas, do not get weapons vs hydras armor is much better.

Cannons if he's going muta, then get goons, range, HT, and archons. Cosairs do not work well against mutas (even with the +1 air) unless you have them in large quantity (i.e. 8+).

Good Zerg player can destroy the Sair+DT rush relatively easily with 4-6 hatches poping out 1-2/1-2 Hydras and lings.
