It works Seriously, I first didn't understand but look: 90% of average TvT players make fly their barracks, so you can get in the base sometimes ---> vultures. Vultures are usually upgraded with mines and speed, so you cannot leave your base as fast as you would want to. Also, his barrack is flying through your base so he can counter your tech more or less easily. Also, while you are containing your enemy, you are producing such cheap units and you are able to have extra gas, more than if you were producing tanks from the beggining. It's like the PvZ where you are rushing and microing zeals while you get gas and don't tech but zerg is usually doing ONLY mass lings to counter you so he will die against your big cock (amount of gas spent with templars/archons :O) when he tries to fuck you with his hidralisks/mutalisks/lurkerlisks/lingisks. PS: I am XerG so correct me if I am wrong. | ||

LMAO doesnt he already have a 'severe warning' ?  | ||

But ILoveoov v Nada, kind of a big big series, both go for this weak and easily counterable strat... odd no? One of the counters is to make more vultures than the other guy (; Put it this way; vultures used by 95% of the BW population are easily counterable. Example: TvT, myself at 6, opponent at 3. He goes vultures, I go 1 fact tank > expo. Good Micro > initial vulture rush. If he's really stupid, he keeps pushing with vultures and loses them. Otherwise he places a few mines, usually very poorly (i.e., in visual range of a turret on cliff). Most players would put one where I intend to land my CC, but two tanks with seige can take care of that. A wise and mighty Korean, however, would place a lot of mines, and place them well, and I'd possibly lose a tank trying to get rid of them (if I were careless/sloppy). The delay/potential loss of unit(s) is that much of a set back that the vulture rush was successful. | ||

Also the whole time you're massing vultures, you don't use any gas | ||

quick 8 goli drop can also work quite well against the vultures. However, if it is somehow fought off very well, the vulturer surely has an advantage. Don't vulturers who fast exp get cliffed badass? | ||

That it's one of the more flexible builds is my point, so it's not at all bad or easily defeatable. Yay long sentences are me i think! | ||

And no, it is still possible to stop a vulture rush without a wall-in, against most players (good micro can compensate for mines). Versus a good player, I would wall. Circumstantially, I could use my ebay, rather than rax, and still have the scouting ability. All these things are variables, and nothing is really set in stone. Every game is different. | ||

imagine you having a brain (explanation!: when someone goes expo, he can't expand with that nice command center, because he has vults camping outside of his base. The expander only has 1 fact tank, so he won't be able to kill the mines outside of his base, he can't land his cc, because mines are under it, now are you still thinking this is a good strat vs vultures?) | ||

MXPX... u don't think 3 fac vults can defend 4 gol drop? have u ever tried 3 fac vults then? probably not. With vult speed, u can be at his base, spot the dropship and still boot it back to your base in time to pwn. | ||

EH EH? 1-2 vults and a tank can hold off an insane amount of vults with good micro (considering you don't let them up the ramp). And wraiths are very good for harass. I have always gone wraith vs a fast vult and I've had a very good win ratio, like 9/10 I win because they take longer to build a bunch of turrets and get scan to expo than I take to kill their mines and build my sexpo no wraiths dont beat mines on maps with no cliff. the terran can expo immediatly after his makes his vults and just put up a turret at each cc while he gets gols, u cant expo till u clear 30 mines, something that takes a while with 1 factory units. u will be forced to push out of ur base with turrets, and that gives ur enemy all the time he needs to expo and contain you. then with ur gosu 1 fac u cant break out because he has 2 facs. and u cant drop because no cliffs. understand? | ||

I have used vultures in mid and late game in small numbers .. Mining my bases for a little added Drop deturant in key areas.. The cooldown time of units coming out of a drop ship is just enough to allow mines to pop them. T ussually scans the area before dropping sees a buttload of mines and decides on something a bit less risky. I find that I feel a bit safer in leaving fewer units behind for defense when I have a few mines scattered in key areas. ( mainly the places I would drop if I were him ) I do not ussually rush mine tech though as I would rather spend the gas on tanks and Mine containment is pointless When Vultures kill mines the moment they pop up .. Lure mines with a tank / goliath / marine And the vultures kill them quite effectively . On a side note It's rather funny to Vult / port vs Tank Vulture containment players . Using 1-2 wraiths to run his butt off and Secure your expansion. And ussually you have a good 1 - 1 1/2 Minutes to Harrass him with them before he spams turets or gets enough goliths to slap you away . During whitch time you can ussually safely take your expansion and get a major Eco Advantage over him of at least 45 seconds to a minute. Timing ^^ Edit: And before the bashings Ensue I never claimed to be pro Just like to play the game | ||

.............. funny .. I thought newbies were the guys who when you scout them still have 4 scv's a barracks and 2 bunkers .. Hovs may not be = to PLayers such as Nada - boxer - chojja - yellow... But there is a reason you know those names... Because they > you and probably anyone else you know. And so he thinks he is good.. so what?? You have to be a little cocky to be good at sc. and before you talk about someone saying they suck I wanna see you beat him 10 out of ten games... Then you can say that... Otherwise dude ... go play more wgt | ||

"s./1" assuming I was just gonna rematch him. I had to go at that time, so I politely declined the rematch. Then he said: "ok, no game anymore.. ever" What's the use of playing an inferior player anyway, I don't care --; And the first 2 games we played, he accused me of lagchit (rofl?) That's what these flames are worth for  | ||

LOL at your 1 fact cc vs vultures one of the build is 2 facts mine only, then tanks to contain and not let the cc land, but it's weak against wraith. | ||

And oh well if he is BM sometimes.. ;P Most of us consider BW as becoming a sort of sport, and like all sports.. it has it's dirty talk which is just a fun part of the game. ...even Michael Jordon would say insults and stuff to people as he ran down the court dribbling the ball.. telling them he was about to score on them allll in theri eyes ^^. Eh.. whatever though.. I don't know any of you really and have been here 5 years and only posted 40 times so... *runs away again* ^^ | ||
