First off the regular 9 ol extractor trick is good. I'm pretty sure it gives you an extra about 10 min if you do it fast but if you wait too long it will actually hurt you. Also I believe because your stuck with 3 larva the next larva gets delayed a second when you don't do the extractor trick. Also, is cancelling all buildings a 25% cost for all races and has nothing to do with how close they are to being built?

Ive recently discovered that not many builds are good for zerg, just the slight change of strategies, really, every crazy build for zerg at beggining will probably get pwn by t or p pwnage, zerg is just so weak. I prefer to go for the general build, and then just change strat slightly, like add a drop or two in there somewhere, or get like 4 guards and maybe a queen, or something
Maybe quick queens or guards or sommething, but zerg just wont have enoguh $$ to support it, and will end up draining and losing, either way, its good to try some crazy shit once in a while

I've also recently discovered that not many builds are good for zerg. Any colony first builds certainly aren't. Or 4 Ovie? Lots of builds are'nt good for lots of races -_- Zerg is just so weak. Ha. the "general build" and "changing strat slightly"? Nice. Let's add a drop or two in there somewhere. Of course, without a scout, you may run into, say, 1000 cannons in the toss base. Four guards and a queen? Hmm. Four guardians sure would be useful. And Zerg won't have enough $$ to support it? As Zerg if you never have more expansions that your opponent it's a gg already -_-.

zerg is so weak, its always risky to do some crazy shit


First, Zerg isn't weak. I'd be glad to play you an time, even though I'm just a bm newbie Also, in your preceding post, you say that "it's good to try some crazy shit once in a while", though how it's "always risky" to do your above mentioned "crazy shit". Good job Sherlock, you just gave the only two possibilities in the world. What, could it be always risky, but always good? t.t. anyway, you didn't even specify what your "crazy shit" is. As for getting queens, I wouldn't consider it "crazy shit". Zerg crazy shit is trying to Sunk rush a terran.

whenever i did this build, it was just solely against being gayed on gamei... except i didn't wait for 8 lings, right when that overlord pops get an 11th drone so you can 11 hatch and 6 ling +_+ it's only good if they rush you though, and that is why i stopped doing it tt it can really murder your teching tt

to say a bo is great becuase yellow used it isnt wrong, but to say other people should just copy it because yellow used it isnt really very relative considering people cant play as well as yellow, replays clones are generally weak becuase of this fact.
example : prolly 50% of the terrans ive played in zvt's have tried boxers bunker rush strat vs me and two of them have been successful, the fact is people cant micro/macro like a progamer can and thus the strat doesnt work properly.

as for this build order i think its kinda outdated, i used to use something alot like this with the three extractor tricks, and when i used it long ago it used to work very well, these days however with the way gameplay has changed in zvp it really doesnt seem very successful, its just the evolution of things, its not a bad build, just outdated and hard to achieve without a very high skill level and understand of the zvp mu(like tomson said it would only work in zvp).
