Other than that, good building placement (barracks next to cc), and good micro can help fend off 1 zealot/probe harass. | ||

Building a bunker isn't something you want to do, but losing out on 100 minerals sure as hell beats dropping a game because of zealot pressure. When deciding of to build a bunker ask yourself: Who will come up ahead if neither of us loses any units(after you build bunker)? In zealot rush with 2 gates and 3 zealots toss delays his tech by so much that you can get speed and mine vultures and harass like crazy(or just take your advantage and expand) | ||

Also, it won't delay his tech all that much. It's fairly easy to throw up a Core and Gas .. | ||

You have to be retarded if you think protoss isn't quite far behind. Sure its easy to put up a core and gas, but it is VERY delayed. He wont have obs out forever and thats if he goes straight for them(Not to mention expanding and getting goon range.) As you can see toss needs to do 3 things at once while terran can still skip an ebay for a bit(mines). | ||

In one of those post, this guy said "if toss goes 2 gates and you manage to defend agaisnt the zealot rush, then you are basically won." what does basically won mean? because its just an early game another example Canata vs some protoss, the toss goes 2 shuttle, attempt to drop, Canata's wraith destroyed both shuttle. and in his interview, Canata said "when i have destroyed the shuttle, i think i have won" does destroying 2 shuttle + units in it have that much of an advantage? that he think he have already won? | ||

Depends. What was in those shuttles? How early in game? And equal bases/army? | ||

If that protoss had reavers in it, then yes he won. A simple way to explain it is if both terran and protoss play standard, then they will have an equal army. Protoss can quick tech to reaver if he wishes instead of playing normal. This will reduce his army size, but if he manages to get enough SCV / unit kills he can disrupt and put his opponent far enough behind that it was worth it. But, if he loses those units without doing any damage, then hes going to be behind. Make sense? | ||
