A few days ago, I've been having extreme difficulties in ZvT when the Terran decides to go mech build. So I tried using every build I could come up with to beat a ZvT Mech. During my last game, I had finally won in ZvT Mech build! But I'm not sure if I only outmacroed him or whatever, so I want to know what everyone thinks of Slings, Blings, Mutas to Brood Lords, with the use of Nydus against a Mech build sounds. Maybe it only worked because the Terran fast expanded. So guys, do you think this would work if two players were on equal levels in terms of micro and macro? Heres a replay. Please note that I'm not a good player so you'll see lots of mistakes made. http://www.sc2rc.com/index.php/replay/show/6353

Search function is always a good place to start looking for strategies and such, most people will have run into your problem and generally the big threads will have some really good (and bad) answers in them : >

All I found was [H] ZvT Mech and similar stuff. Then it moved on to Broodwar ZvT Mech Destination when I searched

I'm not saying that you can't do something with speedlings/banelings/muta into broodlord with nydus worm, but in that particular replay you certainly did outmacro him. Or rather he made the ridiculous blunder of not sieging up the 4 tanks that he had and you made the fortunate decision of running your ling/bling army into his expo, killing 4 tanks and 20 scv's.
After that point the replay is kind of not really a good depiction of "zerg vs mech" since you're at 40 drones to his 20 scv's and he just lost 4 tanks. If he had those 3 tanks sieged up it would've been quite a different game since your ling/bling army would've either retreated or melted away with maybe 5 marine kills.

That's not to say you shouldn't try the unit composition some more until you find a few games where noone makes a huge mistake and you still beat terran mech^^.

Thanks for the comment. I'll definitely try it on better players ^_^

Bling/Speedling early pressure, into roaches mid-game with burrow and tunneling claws has worked best for me so far.

If you can burrow and get into a good position to unburrow right on top of them followed by your lings swarming them, they'll melt.

However, this won't work everytime since terran will start using scans and maybe get a raven.

I tried Mutas, but Thors just wreck them pretty hard and they're way too gas heavy to sustain as a core for your army.

If you can survive the mid game with roaches and hydras, Ultralisks or broodlords DESTROY mech.
Calm down People. I got this.

keep an eye out for the movement of the mech army. It's very strong when entrenched, but on the move, you should be able to whittle it down. Catch it as it's moving to your base, and snipe the tanks.

Muta's work to some degree i guess, since the army is immobile worker harass can get off some nice kills. After the initial harass, the terran WILL build towers though, so make sure it counts. Nydus should net you a OC snipe once the terran feels safe with it's towers up.
