That was a poor example in my opinion. If green engaged the marines as they were coming up his ramp, repaired the tank with three SCVs, and sent 3 or 4 SCVs as meatshields, he would have held that off.

This rush actually seems less effective than the very hard ai.

Kanye West actually just told Tweetosis he thinks this build has been around for a while.

You don't remake anything. Imagine you make 6 Zerglings, that's 3 larvae, okay? Now imagine those are 3 drones instead. They never mined, they never were going to mine. They were intended to be combat units from the beginning, you lose no mining time at all. You lose 3 larvae and 450 minerals.

You can't look at it so black-and-white, just the scan by the Terran costs over half of that cost and the fact you can safely drone for a while makes it more than worth it.

Just stop posting seriously, you're terrible. I could of used those 450 minerals on 2 queens and 3 drones! Do you see the Econ lose? If you don't you save three drones plus get three more drones and two queens
Seriously pisses me off when people consider spine crawlers to cost mining time.

What the spines do is let you drone up, which lets you go ahead in economy. Also they are useful, they can be moved to chokepoints, strategic locations(on the side of the gold base in metal for instance), to your third base, etc. It's not only about comparing units cost-by-cost. It's an extremely cheap price to pay if building 3 crawlers shuts their attack down.

I'm not sure if it does, though, and if it doesn't, then this is all irrelevant.

I wonder if one of my regular builds would hold it off?

From the timings of the example posted earlier, I'd have 1 zealot and 2 stalkers when the 5 marines come up the ramp (5:30), At 5:45 I'd have another stalker, and at 6:07 I'd add 1 stalker and 1 zealot. This build cuts no probes so I'd have 30 probes to their 19 at 6:07.

Even if I needed to pull probes off, think I could survive, maybe even stay ahead?.

alright just tried it against a 2200 Zerg on Lost Temple. You can scout it by keeping an overlord on the little ledge by their mineral chain. Keep a good eye on it and notice when some scv's move out. If you see that throw down a spine or two.
