and i can copy what he does but many protoss users know how to defend it now so i wanna also know how to continue the push without dying to say reavers or 3 gate goons | ||

That said, it's obviously a vaible build because Gundam did well with it on very high level. It's hard as fuck to pull off if toss can micro. The first of you to slip loses. | ||

basicly if you gundam against a fast robotics build you move out with 3-4 rines, a vulture and a tank and 1-3 scvs depending on what yoy prefer. Without range the toss can't prevent you from containing him with a bunker (powerful early game) . You also get to check out how many units he has as he will obviously use all of them in an effort to stop you, and too few units will betray a reaver drop or a ridiculously greedy brainless fast expo, the reaver drop is stoppable and the greedy fast expo has no chance if he went fast robotics and then DT for dt drop you should be able to scout it even before u move out, he'll have like 1 goon and wont be able to leave his base at all against 2gate range he'll have so many goons that you have to wait for your second tank to move out, but you can already send a lone vulture to try and get in some mines in a key spot when you have 2 tanks you'll be able to push him back even though he'll have a lot of goons, and hopefully he'll run into a mine here or there because of his lack of early game observers against 1 gate range into robo you will most certainly have the most difficult time, and I think it's the best (standard) build for P to use vs a gundaming terran. You should play similarly to how you would play if he had gone 2gate range.. that is, your opening vulture is crucial again and it will have to plant mines behind his goons. Annoying thing for the p here is that he can't wait for an observer to check out if you are expanding so you can do elky's fake gundam build and he'll likely end up going 3 gate against a fast expanding terran which is bad you shouldn't try to leave your contain and actually attack unless he already fucked up and lost units. You can siege and force him away from his choke when your ion thrusters are done, allowing you for a real easy vulture harass that is very hard to stop for the p if he doesn't fuck up you stay with your contain preventing him from expanding and use mines to monitor any shuttle movement out of his base if i were toss my standard build vs T would be fast robo, so against gundam i'd get contained, i wouldn't waste any units, i'd go 3gate with leg ups and goon range, be patient and defend against vults for a little while, ferry out some units with a shuttle, attack the containment from both sides, and finally expo. If all of that goes well you will be ahead in macro and the terran will likely resort to dropship harass so you should make a lot of observers and go in harass defend mode. overall keep in mind that gundam 's build is very old and with him around there is no good player using it anymore and therefore no good way to defend its viability. Maybe it's just not viable anymore. | ||

but I can't relate to protoss users who just blindly go 2gate range in advance because they "expect" a gundam or whatever, I don't understand that kind of move even when I see kickass tosses do it maybe they like 2gate range goons against other terran builds as well, I sure don't and I also hope they wouldn't do that on LT | ||

If all of that goes well you will be ahead in macro and the terran will likely resort to dropship harass so you should make a lot of observers and go in harass defend mode. well,you did that vs me on LT, but instead of holding the contain I just put 3 tanks there around the choke and some mines and then take my exp, so you just get an advantage when he comes down his choke with some units,cause you lose less then he does and started your expand earlier on. or in your case you totally obliterate the contain with almost zero casualties a bit later on with the shuttle ferrying and stuff and you exp much later than the terran, terran hereby having a even larger advantage. Nice post though, maybe you should add it to your sticky, cause it gives a nice summary of the goals of a gundam rush,of the pros and the cons, and of how to counter it | ||

i could have just had my first observer on your natural, saw when you expanded and walked over you.. but instead i kinda just lost track of the observer alltogether and never looked at it anymore you played it all wrong | ||

i almost always open 2 fac vults (on most popular maps), but i also always get 3 rines first. if i see hes open for an early attack, i will attack with my first 4 speedvults and my tank and 3 rines, a toss wont get outmicroed vs a normal gundam, but his micro has to be so much better then yours to outmicro 4 speedvults while hes being attack by a tank and 3 rines. if you see hes not open for an early attack, you just play like you would normally do with 2 fac vults. this imo, is a much better bo then gundam, it gives you the early attack of gundam (a bit slower, but more powerfull cuz of vult speed), but if he does an anti-early push bo, you havent wasted anything, you can just use youre 2 fac vults and not move out with youre tank/rines. | ||

I think a good scouting probe might be able to find out about gundam by staying alive in his base. but im not entirely sure so dont quote me... | ||

Nothing wrong with that build becaues I felt it would be good on that map, but that game isn't really related to gundam rushing at all, yeah. Hm, if you want fake gundam expo I suggest you download the midas replay pack from.. hm, gosugamers probably has it. He does it like almost every game (and he even rushes too sometimes -- don't get how he stays alive after using up most of his units in some games). And he goes mines just like a gundam build. Hm, there's also a very popular build right now (mainly for requiem I think) where you go 1 fac, get 1 tank then mines and 2 vultures and move out with 4 marines 1 tank 1-2 vults, then either push if the toss was greedy or just take your expo. | ||

He used it on forte, ride of valks, requiem, few others 1 factory, 6 marines, mines. couple vults catch up. he pushes toss back to his base, then expos and lays a line of mines in between their bases. | ||

I don't care, old threads can be bumped in the strategy forum if you have questions about a subject already discussed, in fact I applaud people who do it the replay pack? what did you expect? gundam is retired the strategy? true, but who knows? maybe it can still pick up some wins here or there. I for one believe that it's underestimated and still viable. | ||
