I thank you so much.
You sure don't go straight to the point every time but the way you take is funny so it's great.
The replay pack is awesome. With this, bisu vs hwasin and reach vs boxer final (to understand manliness concept applied to toss playing) this should allow me to get some pubic hairs soon.
\o/ You helped a newbie.

<DISCLAIMER>It seens to me that a particular two facts strategy shall be covered however I know the followings are newbie questions, the answers are in other posts but I think they have their place here. If I am wrong please feel free to nuke this post or not to answer it.
If a newbie like me comes over there the most part of answers is here :
answers
</DISCLAIMER>

Let's consider there's cliff over the nat, I have taken my expo. He first went 2facts he set up an heavy push then goes starport and takes some units from push to do a 4rines/4SCV bunkering+ turreting the thing/turret/2 mining vultures/1 tank drop.

first question:
What the hell should I do/have done? (considering I should have scouted it with an obs between push and base, or over the push if no turret, seeing the two dropships.)

2nd question:
What do I do if I missed the scouting part is it already over for me?

3rd question:
I fought and took my cliff back with few probes down and not too much units lost what is the best way to make sure he won't take that cliff again assuming that by now I have obs and 1 shuttle so hopefully I'll see the drop quite early. Basicly what units should be on my cliff/rdy to be dropped to prevent the drop with cost efficience?

What I am pointing out is that a countered drop still implies threat if the dropships are still alive. (I mean threat in the way of the neo gen PvZ article: http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=60959 and the threat is maximised by cliffs over nats.

I won't consider don't play on Lost Temple as an answer I should be able to handle it fffs. >
As I said the questions may not be the important thing here but a few advices on how to handle drop threat after a rather bad early game vs two facts may have its place in the guide.

If he went 2 fact and starport it means he didn't expo to be able to afford all that. So even if you lose your nexus to cliffing (save probes!) you can rbeak that and expo again (or even twice).

From my old experience on LT i remember goon + DT being really effective in patrolling cliffs. If you dont have templar tech, get 3 goons up there, and have observers patrolling dropships paths to catch it before it drops (or when it leaves). 3 goons can hold drops, and if they cant, they should buy enough time for you to ferry some more units up there.

Also, if you see a dropship heavy user, try to expo to places hard to drop, add a cannon or 2 in expo to give you time to save probes and divie your army around the map to kill drops and harrass attemps. Dropship users usually dont have a main strong force to attack with, and rely on harrass while macroing to build a 200/200 army to push against you.

So the most important thing is never letting your macro slip while holding all this harrass, once you kill that first 200/200 push, expo again and refill your army to hold the second one.

good luck,

Ok thanks a lot IntoTheWow and happy birthday!
I've always been afraid to split my units because of a poor multitasking but I guess I just have to improve it.

Entertaining read, but I object to the juvenile and bigoted use of the term "gay". I guess it's too much to ask of a community based around a video game to show a little bit of maturity.

immediately used the advice and crushed my little brother! (Who's worst race is t)

The worst part is I usually don't. He beats me with every race.

This guide is fantastic.

I just finished reading every jizz-tastic word.

Absolutely hilarious and informative at the same time.

i was going to read your guide, but i got sidetracked reading about the ULTIMATE POWER OF THE NINJAS & that website was deliriously funny, so i'm sorry I didn't get very far, but what I read of the guide was awesome so thanks!

(& thanks for introducing me to the ninja site! omggggz!!)

Sorry if I shouldn't bump, but this was the most beneficial and entertaining guide I've ever read, and I felt the author deserves the kudos.

Plus, a rep pack with explanations on each game? AW YEAH!
