 , good alternative to tornado terran that i usually find myself doing with tvp... hows it work with zerg for you, or would a straight up skterran work better? | ||

 Although by luck it could work vs 2 hatch fast lurker...but still not recommended. | ||

But the TvP part is awesome. Much better than the "pressure" guide. Btw, thx on explaining the adaptation/timing stuff of this build. This shit has been incredibly hard to counter for me in the past, now I think I will understand the build/defend better. The only drawback I see is that if toss gets a reaver or DT opening with a faster nexus and defends successfully (don't see how he can beat this with pure goons into fast nexus), he gains the upper hand. But overall it is indeed very strong. Also, did you consider moving out earlier? You don't really need stim or siege when you're leaving your base (just don't be sloppy and bring an SCV a tank to repair if toss tries to slow the push, in case of medarine it's not a good idea unlike normal FD, so you will be ahead unless you screw micro), so it's ok if it finishes when you approach toss' base. Ya you can move out earlier if you see a weakness, like if they went nexus first or something. But normally if you moved out earlier it would mean you would have no stim or siege...which makes it a lot easier for the P to micro against your forces. Besides if you're not gonna wait for siege and stim theres more effecient options than this build Honestly it is not possible for protoss to tech and get a faster expansion than you(and keep the expansion alive that is). | ||

This would obviously hold easily vs 11 marines 2 medics and 3 tanks with seige...but Ts expo will be much faster. And T can still get a good number of goon kills. This is true, but if you lose too much, the counter reaver drop (come on, with that many goons it has to come right?) is gonna hurttttttt. I am so gonna use this build a bunch now to cheese the crap outta protoss. I play SC to kill Protoss. That is my joy and love now. -_-; and I'm P user ~~ | ||

Are you fucking joking me? Not only would you not survive the initial push if T played agressively. But how do you propose to beat 12 marines 2 medics and 4 tanks with a shuttle full of dts when T has at least 3 scans/maybe 4? If T played defensively he would see the shuttle flying in, move marines over...stim run past shuttle a bit..target it..kill it. Scan, mop up dts. GG. | ||

Trust me guys dt is something I've tested extensively against. If you manage your scan energy properly youll do great vs dt. | ||
