Use observers to keep tabs on the borders of your expos and build a few phoenixes. Take out all the banshees and reapers and just starve him. Then just overpower him with void rays. Sounds like all those nice turrets are a place to charge before destroying him.

I didn't read everything but, maybe using hallucination would work ? Sacrifice something like 10 colossus/immortal/whatever into tank and try to kill him

I never tried it but "maybe" it could works.

Now you might think, "omg XiGua, wht a nub u r don't even expand urself and then omfgwtfbbq him with 200/200 supply -.-"
Well I tried to expand, but he denied all my expos with REAPERS and BANSHEES. So all I did was mass collosi and stalkers and immortals and high templars and dark templars and sentries and EVERYTHING. But I just couldn't get into his base...

So basically you agree with people who say you're a noob then lol? A Terran on two base making tanks/reapers/banshees is going to be super gas starved and probably not able to produce constantly unless he's doing it out of one production facility for each, just out expand him and defend your expos(properly). You should win, the strategy you're describing isn't good.

ALSO POST A REPLAY!!!111!!!!!!!2112!! It makes it much easier to identify the problems you might be having.

If a guy wants to turtle all game, you may's well let him. Don't go throwing your army into the grinder until he's mined out and you're at 200/200 and have every expo on the map covered with a pylon so he can't expand.

Scout with hallucinations. sounds like nothing else would make it through the turret farm.

Make sure that your production capacity is high, as if you lose your army trying to break the turtle you'll want to rebuild it quickly.

And really i don't see how you weren't able to keep an expo up against reapers and banshees. If it had been viking banshee i could maybe understand.

Pretty much what everyone said, out expand him and actually defend the expansion , put some pylons near it so you can actually reinforce em. Other things like controlling the watch towers ( which im guessing you did not do since reapers were running amok) Maybe set 1 or 2 observers set as peripherals around his base . Honestly I don't see what stopped you from just getting 2+ expansions on the terran, actually defend them, and mass Carrier/VR or both.

why dont ppl realize mech is garbage TvP

the only reason it worked in BW is because protoss didnt have any effective air to ground units.

make void rays and phoenixes to lift his shit and blow it up
srsly, like 5 stargate void ray

you're completely right.. carriers were awful vs ground in BW

OH WAIT

Early aggression was impossible since he was also doing that with hellions, reapers and banshees.
