I'm pretty sure +attack is for mutas, and +armor is for lurkers and sunks.. "Sparks" is for the shit that gets blown up, I think. | ||

3 sunkens and proper at least 8 ling support will own your build. As well has 2 hatch mutalisk | ||

Properly done 2 hatch muta pops at 6:00, not 6:40 -- huge difference. | ||

Also, it hits at 7 minutes, which I assume this hits around that time as it is pretty much the only early game timing. | ||

ayumi is masked as a 1 rax FE build so the zerg doesnt get suspicious since FE vs zerg is so common nowadays Ayumi is a timing attack, it is meant to attack the zerg right before his lair tech units pop out which can end the game right there, however this timing attack only works vs the timings for 3 hatch builds, not 2 hatch. this can end the game right there if you can hide your marine count from him (ie dont bring all ur marines out at once, leave some behind your army) I dont know the sparks build enough to comment on it, someone else will have to do it for me | ||

Your atack should never fail, the correct discernment is needed. You don`t need to atack. Forcing 6-8 sunkens is as good. Position and contain is the key. If he prepared defence then you don`t atack - you can continue with factory and tank + bunkers and a heavy contain. This gives you tremendous positional advantage, its almost impossible for him to break it. Thus he will try to either doom drop or mass muta - but you are aware of it and prepare ahead. This build pwnz man <3 | ||

ontopic: You use firebats because they take more hits from sunkens + polish off the ling portion of a Zerg's defense. | ||

Sync used to do it w/o any upgrades, it's very good to get +1 armor agaisnt sunkens and later it will be very useful against lurkers aswell. Against mutas it almost makes no difference, you have to get +1 attack against mutas P.s.: [/QUOTE] You didnt execute the BO correctly. Not by a long shot. ![[image loading]](http://i38.tinypic.com/52j18w.jpg) top = the BO bottom = stuff you did[/QUOTE] Just took a look at your picture, the top BO is NOT a sparks terran build, 1rax->3rax with bunkers and turrets >.<? | ||

It allows the small number of marines to survive much longer. On March 08 2010 22:23 UFO wrote: This doesn`t have to aim on killing the zerg right off.

The Zerg's tech will be so far ahead of yours, and if he gets mutas out then he can micro and hurt you for a long time as you won't have marine range, and it'll be forever before you get vessels out, and you won't have your nat and you won't be able to take your nat because of the mutalisks while he'll be able to take his third. You are dead. | ||
