What do people think of Best pioneering the use of Feedback against Science vessels in PvT? It looks like some strategy Jangbi would use when I saw him drop Dark Archons from a Shuttle in PvT to Feedback Vessels.

In TvZ, rush nydus to connect your third base and natural as soon as you have hive. It’s important to get it as soon as possible.

I agree, with double nydys when you get your 4th. In ZvP is quite the same, unless you have a big army advantage and control the map.

What do you do when you've gone overpool on heartbreak ridge and discover that protoss has forge+pylon walled you into your main and is building cannons when you try and take your natural hatchery?

Send your starting overlord to your natural from now on so you scout it sooner and can react with drones accordingly?

make gas and lair asap, 2nd hatch when you can afford. scout their main with ov and get drop first to ferry out ling/hydra or make spire first - based on their tech/preparedness.

They will most likely be going for fastest possible sair if they don't have a probe in your base.

Focus on killing their main rather than engaging the cannon wall.

Is there any timing in ZvP for when to make a defensive Nydus? Liquipedia just says a 4 base Zerg makes one to turtle. Thanks.

As soon as your hive finishes.

If you want to relate it to what P is doing, you need nydus to help defend the big dragoon/high templar/zealot push AKA 12 minute push. When playing the 4 base style, connect the naturals with nydus to easily reinforce whichever natural is being pressured.

My trigger was always > hive done > defiler mound > nydus

There really is no answer to a question like that. Depends on situation. For high apm player who can optical flare overlords and the like, it’s still a high risk due to scourge drop ship issues but it can kill bases fast. You need flash Or fantasy level to do it on a Koreans Zerg.
