but still i've got to thank you for the countering-part. I more or less did what you wrote instinictively but it was nice to read it that way. And this guide also helped my attention for the topic a lot, because i'm pretty sure there will be a bunch of people who read this and start now cannon-rushing "the legitimate way" - and i'll be happy to take their wins. | ||

While I rarely actually cannon rush, sometimes i build a forge,hope they see it, then pylon in their base in their face and cancel it before it finishes/gets destroyed. If they ignore it completely, i can build cannons and crush them. If not, I can just switch back to macro, having invested very little and still crush them with zealots and stalkers and sentries upgraded +1/+1 because i already had the forge. Plus, it can take their mind off the game a bit, make them spend time watching for more cheese or make them do something stupid. But since I got to diamond i generally stopped doing that. But overall, thanks for the guide, it's really useful, especially to show how to stop cannon rushes. | ||

I especially liked the + Show Spoiler + There may come a point when you start to feel bad about cheesing. Don’t. Terrans don’t feel bad about playing their POS overpowered race. So you shouldn’t feel bad about cheesing. It takes a lot more skill to do a cannon rush than it does to do 3rax 1A GG. xD | ||

If he is the bugs then you need to make more cannuns to surond him and get carriers after to kill him. The poop, lol poop, on the ground won't let you build a cannon so try carriers. Be carful of tnks b/c they ca=n kill a cannun if he does cheap stuff like siege mode out of range. If he fites like a man cannons will kill the tank but he is a pussy cheeser. | ||

Just because your opponent doesn't play by how you think an 'ideal' game should flow, doesn't mean it's not 'fair' or it's 'noobish'. If I could shoot 3 pointers from mid court all day, believe you me, I would, and I wouldn't give a sh!t if anyone thought it was fair or not, becuase the rules of the game allow me to do this. He's still playing by the rules people. You're telling me you're good enough to fend off an MMM ball but can't defend against a Probe putting some buildings at your main? | ||

So, four is the exact right number of SCVs to pull if I want to kill buildings? Good to know. As for countering, what if I can slow you down long enough to block the advance of your Cannons with a Bunker + Marauder? It has equal range, equal damage, can be repaired, and after the rush fails I can salvage the Bunker. | ||

There was quite good advice how to react. As a defender one could use the scouting worker to attempt to kill the pylon powering the forge in order to distract the offender. When you see just a forge in his base you should just cancel everything you can and defend while banking 400 minerals to fast expand. | ||

Regarding marauders, you won't have any at this point. I usually start the pylon as the first barracks is finishing and before the first marine pops. If I see completed unit producing structures, I don't even attempt this. | ||

if the opponent isnt aware of it, however doing it is like saying "i dont want to play with you i just want to get my win faster so i can ladder/win" its a spit in the face for your opponent that you are willing to risk and lose just for that quick win that doesnt require any skill | ||

I got cannon rushed in 3v3 (not particularly surprising, olol) and, having this thread in mind, I pulled 4 probes to kill cannons as they were warping in. The rushing probe dropped like 5 cannons and a pylon, with a pylon below a cliff powering over the edge into my base, and 2 of the cannons + the pylon finished at full hp, 1 cannon finished at half. It wasn't particularly bad for me, because I got the probe dead early-ish and just rebuilt, but 4 probes didn't seem to be enough if the rushing player doesn't cancel. | ||
