from reading this, it seems that most of these are just variatiosn of a 2fac push. shadow is basically hiding a fac right? | ||

I'm really missing what's so unique about that one, except the odd 12 rax/12 gas when if you 9 depot, normally you can 10 rax/11 gas and get that factory up even faster. The problem is, if you do the build proporly ( acquiring academy and such ), the rush macro's its gas perfectly. The problem is it also needs minerals to compensate for its high vult/tank cost, and even marine vs dragoon rush. The 12/12 provides all of this, because you dont have to cut scvs. The difference between the "shadow" rush and other 2 factory timing attacks, is that this one hold 6 keys. where as others normally hold 3. * Mines * Siege * Ion thrusters * Fakes 2 other possible builds *Allows to expo/academy/ good reinforcement *Is timed perfectly so that the toss would normally be taking a 3rd if they see the fake FE. | ||

Yes, in the "shadow" rush, you will hide a factory usually. Let the first one be viewable and make it look like an FE, so they will take 2xpoes. Taking 2 expos will almost seal the deal when you come out with 4 tanks 7 vults and 4 scvs, with mines/ion/siege. Meanwhile you may expo, get a 3rd factory, and continue vulture production. | ||
