While its well written and detailed, this guide isnt really good.

If you want to succesfull cannon rush, you always rush with 2 Probes, 1 deception probe and 1 building Probe. This Counts on the other dude being lazy in base scouting, or him getting the "i found his probe im safe" factor.
Rushing with one probe is counting on the other dude being terribad.

On a 4 Player map you want to scout 2 positions at the same time with 2 different probes, once you find him, show him one probe, hide the other in his base. Build an OBVOIUS pylon behind his mineral or something to make him shift attention, then put up the real deal.

Make as little cannons possible while reaching his nexus.

yknow what's awesome, is that you can cannon rush in team games.

Even if the enemy sees you and responds properly with workers vs cannons, he loses more mining time than you lose in (cancelled) buildings, and all the while you are building probes.

However he has a gate and possibly a cybernetics up, meaning you are hopelessly behind and will lose

...unless you make no effort whatsoever to catch up in tech, and instead feed an ally who, knowing the plan all along, made more unit producing structures than they could normally afford.

Why do you revive this thread?

1. The guide is terrible.
2. Anybody with half a brain and more than 5 apm can cannon rush to perfection anyway.
3. Encouraging people to cannon rush probably isnt a good idea.

it really saddens me when I see some people only find enjoyment in the misfortune of others. I suppose this cannot be helped, aside for not giving in to one's emotions and not reacting. That would really deny you a reward, wouldn't it?

Cannon rushing does not require skill. It can be "mastered" in an hour or two, don't delude yourself.

A guide to cannon rushing? So detailed lol. Good luck to those cheesing after reading this. Cheesing just makes the game pointless. There are many more better game to feel good after winning. just my 2cents
