well... actually something like a 6 pylon -> gate -> dt/sair fast expo is one of the better starts for the build. but rugbug, for the most part your builds are pretty bad ><

also it seems like you're whole mission is to go throughout threads contradicting players that are clearly better, and being pretty 'flaming' or w/e while doing it

are you talking about my dark archon thing? i don't remember talking about any other than this 5 pylon and that dark archon build. if you're talking about the latter, you are completely wrong. and there is no room for debate about this.

a la matilda: i'm right, youre wrong.

Im talking about throughout the strategy forums, where you make it clear on most points that you have NO idea what you are talking about, almost to the point that it seems you're just trying to give wrong information on purpose to confuse the person asking the question :d

way to edit your post when you were earlier talking about my build orders.
i wouldn't be contradicting players if they weren't wrong. when people are right, i don't feel the need to say "NICE RESPONSE," i'm not that kind of person. I also don't feel the need to respond by copy pasting the exact same thing. See all those threads that I'm not posting in?

rugbug its competely apparent by your posts that you are a horrible horrible player with absolutely no understanding of the game. there is nothing more to discuss.

There might be something to RuGBug's early sair build since Nal_Ra used the same build to optimal effect in a replay I saw several months ago.

Technical Edit: Haven't read through the whole thread but, one of your strats is titled "Core" but there is no definition above.

I'm not commenting on that particular build but that really isn't a good example -.-

I've seen nal_ra beat people with 4 probe rush (twice).
Doesn't make it good :X

Thanks for catching that. When I say "core'" I mean the nucleus strategies; core is a much nicer word. But I recognize that it can easily be mistaken for Cybernetics Core and so I have updated my definitions accordingly.

Try some of Zeus' VODs/Replays. If I recall correctly, he almost always do Sair+DT.

Oh btw Shadow, you are doing a fantastic job. I might even convert back to Protoss ^_^


I've only got 3 Zeus PvZ games in my collection, but in each of them Zeus seems to be a hardcore Zeal+Storm guy; no Corsairs in sight. Definitely rather old school in style. Am I missing some reps? Anyway, I'm going to check Nal_Ra for sair/DT content.

I haven't played for a bit but I recall two build orders back around 1.10 or 1.09 that may still be used now. I don't actually remember the build orders but they're not hard to figure out since you just get the things when you have resources for them. That and I really can't think of "build orders" since I generally built whatever I think was most effective at countering at that time. I always liked zealot rush into sair because it's decent against mutas since your sair will be out earlier than scourge and you get a good scout of your opponent's build/expos around the area.

There's one that's forge first, expo, then pylon at expo with two cannons. You use the probes to block any lings from rushing through and try to build things to make it hard to simply run past your choke.

The second is a standard zealot rush but you send a probe along for pylon, shield battery.

Updated with two Turbo Expand builds that are high risk but are the sort of thing useful for surprise and pubby games, and are also pretty suitable for FFA games.

KissBlade, yeah, I know that I've seen some fairly recent forge-first quick expand builds. Anyone have the actual replays? I've also considered battery-rushes but have never seen it done in a serious game. Replays of that? Thanks.

The 4 probe rush I used to do involved sending a probe out after every building.. build pylon, send that probe out. build gate, send that probe out, build 2nd gate, send that probe out, build 2nd pylon, send that probe out. that way, when you have 8 mineral patches, you continue to have 1 probe per mineral patch. a 9th probe isnt as helpful as an 8th probe, because of diminishing returns (the 9th probe has to sometimes travel an extra distance to find a patch)

So, you're suggesting something like:
7.5 Pylon, scout. 9 Gate, scout. 10 gate, scout. 11 Zealot. 13 pylon, scout, where scoutting is just sending the probes to the enemy base? Do you harrass with every probe, or wait until all 4 or the zealot arrive? Replay?
