If you're dead set on going mmm/vikings only then you need to win the micro battle. Try to snipe and poke at the colossi all the time. This will force his phoenix to remain with his army and not harass you, opening up drop harassment which you should make heavy use of. As soon as he pulls away his phoenix from his colossi you poke in there and focusfire one down. Always have a way to escape with your vikings in such a manner that at worst you'll get caught in a one-on-one fight with the phoenix. You don't want to open them up to being attacked by the stalkers.

But personally I would just add in ghosts and emp his phoenix, then focusfire the colossi with your vikings in the big fight. Assuming equal upgrades you'll win since his phoenix will be largely useless once his colossi are dead.

Phoenix/colossus is severely less effective then stalker/colossus especially when upgrades are involved. It does stop you from harassing easily though but blink stalkers do so in the same way.

The proper counter is just the same as against normal colossus armies, just MMMG with vikings. Focus the vikings on the colossi first at all times, if the phoenix remain that is no problem as even small numbers of marines take them out really fast, especially with some +attack upgrades on your MM which you should always have. Just make sure to get enough vikings against this mix though, probably 2 starport reactors or 1 starport reactor 1 normal starport. If you can afford an armor upgrade on your air also helps tremendously.

Against 1star double robo? That may as well be Double star/robo which is harder to deal with and gets shit on by mass viking/Marauder, If he's going that heavy on Col/phoenix he's barely gonna have a strong ground army (mostly Zealots), just go double starport when you see that unit comp. If you see double robo in general and you know it's Collosi that's getting pumped out and not Immos, you should get a double starport anyway.

You should get enough Vikings to 1 volley a Collosi, so if you can, try snipe as many as you can, but if you can't and he engages you, just target the Collosi with the vikings, and not the phoenix.
