I wouldnt reccommend it. In general, mutas are coming, and you don't want to have to run that many turrets. Not to mention you'll have to spread your rines too thin. This makes your expo to vulnerable to lings or lurkers or something of the sort just marching in. Just my two cents.

depends on which fast expo ur doing
4 marine wait for 400 mins then cc then go usual MnM
CC before rax
get a small army of mnm around 12 marines 2-4 medics then cc

Fast expo helps u get a army alot faster than if u didnt fast expo. Muta's can easily be defended with a bunker and a few turrets at ur main and maybe ur expo. If u go fast expo u shud be able to get tanks around when they got lurkers, so ur pretty safe for the moment

Just watch out for zergs expanding like crazy if they c u fast expoing

wtf cc before rax? o_O
-

I sometimes fast exp vs Z but only if it's not 12-3 or 6-9, i double rax, get like 6 rines, then build the CC.

The problem with this strat is that you're passive for relatively a long time, and so you kinda let the Zerg player decide the 'flow' of the game. But the fact you can double grade, have 2 starports 2 facs and lotsa barracks worth it

as long as you can control big forces though, otherwise you'd get slaughtered

very good all around, but id rather play aggressive and not fast exp when its 12/3. i do supply, double rax, supply, sometimes 0 or 1 marine then CC

the only weakness you need to work on with this build is scouting and expect an attack//harrass after you exped. watch if zerg is getting spire, den, lings, speedlords, queens nest, #expos etc.. and counter build accordingly.

if you survived all of that.. when you role out with your 3groups of m&ms, couple tanks, and 6~8vessels(you should have plenty of gas for double facts, and double ports, or single fact and triple ports), it will be very, very hard for zerg to stop

Check out IloveOov, he uses early exp alot of times verse z. Because he get so much gas he quickly gets up a vessel cloud. vessel clouds are pretty nasty verse zerg.

I like getting m&m first, then exping before factory the most when doing quick exp.
All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you

Like in Legacy of Char, it's quite safe to go 12cc and raxes soon after.

Hm, i have a question about 1 thing in ur replay.
Where did u build ur second supply depot? Maybe i am just blind (or replay is corrupted), but right after units reached to 18/18 i did not see second supply depot... but the numbers increased to 18/28 (not 26)

Maybe it is some kind of a replay bug.. but i don't think so.
