At 14 you stop probes for a moment, take a probe to build the second gateway and use the same probe to scout when that probe leave your main you will have 100 minerals, so start the pylon, I do this to not move any other probe, then train another probe and then first goon. | ||

It works very well at lower levels but a terran with very good micro, like daze said, will make this rush completely useless. It is a good way to win a game or gain a good advantage very quickly without much risk though. If the terran doesn't make a mistake in micro you will be behind, but not by much. | ||

13gate instead of 14 would mean faster 2nd goon though. It's a decent variation of standard play. Not much risk and can take out poorer Ts at times, like foreverwar said. It obviously has trade offs...sacrifice a bit of economy and/or scouting for faster units. The main difference with this build is that range is significantly later though, done slightly after 5min. The units are significantly faster though. With this build one has 3 goons at the time a normal p build would only have 2. To see how the build fares better you could get a couple of gamers together, and run it vs. various tvp play to see how it goes. Could look at the rep and stats too see just how much economy is affected, etc. Easy enough. | ||

Because they always scout early with a probe before i get my wall up and manner pylon my factory so i cant make a shop and i have 3 goons harassing my wall T.T. But this is mostly because im so bad at sc haha | ||

If it's a choke map, marines will suffice for defending choke, since goon range = marine range a good position won't allow you to attack effectively. Wise Terran will proceed with siege and expand freely. If it isn't a choke map 15 gate, 15 pylon with probe cut, getting range and goon fast(commonly used by Faith years ago) is much more potent. | ||

Move forwards, press h, wait .5 seconds. Rinse and repeat. Notice that while your 3 goon stays as 3 goon their 6 marine rapidly becomes 0. The reason for this is clear. They have a combined effective firepower of about 30 (goon armour) and a combined health of 240. Their firepower decreases by 5 every time 40 damage is taken. Dragoons have a damage output of 30 and a combined health of 540. They lose 10 damage every time 180 damage is taken. You will notice that 3 dragoons can fuck up 6 marines with relative ease. | ||

Is it better to just go ahead and attack with your first Goon, and rally the other 2 to the Terran base, or is it best to wait until all 3 Goons are present before you go marine killing? | ||

Depends on his marine count, his micro and your micro. | ||

It's kind of amusing considering I've always thought it was a well-known, highly used build, only to find out now that it's not. | ||
