I don't get how you can go dt drop AFTER having scouted 1 fac cc, this will just be late ...

and I don't think going dt drop every game , hoping he goes 1 fac cc is a good idea too

With regard to your scouting problem, one thing you can do is build 1 zeolot while the core is coming in. If your opponent isn't blocked in you can get it into their base sometimes (over a couple of dead marines probably) to scout the buildings, and if it is blocked or too well defended you can pull it back (have it chill near the natural perhaps) and that way you'll see the moment he moves out for either a fe or a rush.

you need to x2 expo and slow down on probe production, and macro like hell, dont waste to much money on canons and stuff, you need every unit you can get, + more, stay at his choke when he comes out attack with goons, when he sieges go back, this stalls time for reinforcement units, also 2 stormers in shuttle helps alot.

That's dumb. Any reasonable fast robo build ( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=26250 ) should catch his fact cc if your probe doesn't. Also read the tip in there - keep a probe near your expo since so many terrans do fact cc anyway, you can make the nexus much faster if he does.

I'm asking all you guys that said double expo, why you said that rather then just single expo (2 nexus) as the toss macro heavy response. Especially since this is bascially what the thread starter seems to have taken from this thread.

Of course, consider the terran option of an early timing attack, or 3 nexus is easily better as it allows you to power more while remaining safe as long as to react properly to drops or whatever.

edit- To quote protoss-fighting (nothing against you), "you need to x2 expo and slow down on probe production." So let me get this right, your spending 400mins on another nexus early, and your slowing down on probe production? And your going to benefit from this how? For those of you who may say dont slow down on probe production, well then your going to spend 400mins on another nexus and more minerals on more probes. Now it seems pretty clear you'll likely have problems vs. a timed attack.
