they do 10 damage to each other and it's 8 hits to kill a vulture. If two progamers are fighting vulture vs vulture the micro is going to be absolutely constant - might be hard to notice the amount of 'select x vultures to finish off vulture' that is going on.

1 base 3 fact vulture vs 3 fact vulture is the best form of tvt by far. :D

Alright, allow me a little space for hyperbole, but it WAS indeed silly to watch a game of that nature.

If I had to play 3 Fac Vult vs. 3 Fac Vult I'd probably cry.

Hey fellow zergs, do you still you default S when making scourges or changed it to something like C? If yes, isn't it risky especially in ZvZ, while spamming S you can accidentally make scourges when you wanted to spawn something else.

F2 select workers F3 Mineral walk F2 select workers F3 Mineral walk 1a2a with closest forces that can kill shuttle /reaver.

Or post more info/a replay so we can know the actual situation you were facing.

Are Devourers ever useful for ZvP (besides when they have carriers), and if so, when?

When you do a lategame Guardian transition to catch a Protoss who lost all their Corsairs off-guard, to keep the Guardians viable after the Protoss resumes Corsair production.

guardian with devourer support is surprisingly common in lategame ZvP. A protoss who is down on bases and is trying to turtle on ht cannon and reaver often will not be prepared enough to deal with guardians attacking multiple locations.

Is there somewhere that concisely explains the differences in how units process orders, i.e. right click vs. A-move

It is particularly strong vs hydralisks, and all zergs go 6 hath hydra. It is still +1 attack, but followed by +1 armor for zealot resistence (and you save some gas for HT)

So I pretty much only play BW with my friends nowadays. I have been a life long Terran diehard. However, at our newbie fest sessions, there are pretty much all Terran and Protoss, but only 1 Zerg. So, to make things more interesting I would like to make the dreaded switch from a life of tanks, vultures and goliaths to the swarm.

Id like to know if there is a safe and effective build I can use in all 3 matchups? I simply dont have time to learn and practice matchups against all 3. Was hoping there was something Zerg had in its vast arsenal of builds for this. Thanks everyone!

Going 10 over hatch should work vs most Terran and Protoss builds if you guys are all casual players IMO?

9 pool works against all matchups and i would say is the best against absolute casuals. a lot of beginners have trouble dealing with the initial 6 lings lol

I would suggest Overpool instead because it is better for the midgame and winning with the first 6 lings is boring xD

Lol 12 nex into 2 gate was definitely a thing, not sure if it still is now. Did you think the person asking the question just made it up??

It depends on when you scout it. I've seen people respond with proxy Shield Battery when going 2 Gate of their own, Robo outside the natural if they opened 1 Gate Gas.

Edit: Here is Stork doing proxy Reaver:

i know it exists. im saying no one uses the build. i found it unlikely that he was asking for a response for a build that he probably will never face
