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 | ||

- 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  | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Plus if you do pull it off you could kill a superior player with it :p All that goes for lt though, in other maps fast exp is way more/less reliable... | ||

on 9 and 6 it's good, but more easy to drop the fuck out of terran. guard rushes intro ultralisks only work against newbies who don't have good m&m control and don't scan a lot. | ||

You can't defend an expansion, defend main, attack zerg, and protect yourself against guardians before zerg's 2-3 extra expansions start kicking in to produce mass ultra. Fast expanding only works against zergs who don't realize they have the initiative and mass expand as soon as they see the extra Terran CC. | ||

GL fast expanding against any 3 hatch build =[ even in ogn on vortex people were getting there asses handed to them when they fast expanded. I swear 5 terrans in a row died to muta/ling in front because they had only M&M from 2-3 rax as apposed to having SV before they expand. Fox | ||

They rarely use fast expand. It happens in like one of ten TvsZ games. | ||

And I doubt guardian rushing a fast expanding Terran is the best thing to do. Even when guards are cliffed it only takes a minimal amount of SV to rape them, and 2 ports off the fast expo=bye bye guards. Ultras on the other hand would be a MUCH better option | ||

Of course some strats are more of a gamble then others, but if fast expand was so incredible it would be the main strat would it not? but it's not, 2 rax into SV/tank tech is the main strat. Again I dont' think it's a bad strat, I think my previous post might have given that impression. I jsut think that people here think it's so effective when it's not as good as they think. "lol I do this all the time lol" or whatever. Fast expanding will more often lose against a 3 hatch player who can make a lot of lings with tech. It's done all the time I don't really debate it because I know it. I do also know that going 2 hatch fast lair can be prone against a fast expand build since you will not have the correct larva count that you can mass lings and drones. In any case, fast expand is a good build, but it is a gamble build. Fox | ||

It's funny how ret always says a dual cc on 12 is unbeatable while when playing zvt himself vs a terran with dual cc on 12, he's raping the shit out of him as hard as he does in any other game ^.^ | ||
