That's EXACTLY how Boxer won against him. Shuttle basically was up 2 expos, had a huge army advantage, but never built any cannons and Boxer just vult harassed to death. And he still hasn't learned hahaha

Wow Shuttle... ever heard of... cannons?

I never understood pro protoss reluctance to build cannons at their expo's, is it really that much of an investment?

If you're behind and you want more units, maybe. But if it's like this you need cannons.

Canata kills 5 goons out in the open with 12 vultures, losing like 3.

I don't think it is. A cannon isn't too expensive, if it saves 2 probes you are good. Plus you don't need to keep troops back to defend and can focus on offensive tasks.

Canata denies Shuttle's 4th with the leftover vultures.

Canata unsieges everything he's ready to end this pitiful effort from Shuttle.

Even base TvP always favours the T, so I think Canata is just trying to vult harass and waiting for the econ advantage to really kick in.

I.e. if Shuttle were expo whoring obviously he would push sooner, as waiting would mean an econ advantage for Shuttle. But he has no need.

Shuttle gets a really nice arc on Canata's vultures and takes them out before tanks can engage, he ends up doing way more damage than I expected. He is still done for.
