I have been tying this build against terran and I love it! It makes TvT fun! But I have one little problem. I am having trubble killing them of. You can't attack them if use static defence. I realise that I make many misstakes but I did feal that I was in the lead a long time. What what my BIG error in this game? http://www.speedyshare.com/files/27035963/download/Steppes_of_War.SC2Replay Thanks all! | ||

if the Hellionplayer is a-moving, you MIGHT be right! BUT if the Hellionplayer is mikroing as well, he´ll move to pointblankrange. Range = 0 No way in Hell, a Marine can run out of that Blue Flame. Do you know that the flamerange=6? | ||

On a nitpicky note, you should work on the build order: 2nd refinery -> 2 factories -> tech lab on rax As for the big picture, I think it all went downhill for you when you became passive and switched to thors for some reason. You were doing great and had the game won @ 15:00 when you killed his entire army. All you had to do was attack with a couple hellions and you would have killed all his scvs and the few marines that were popping out. You could have attacked with your 1 thor and won, but you sat back allowed him to rebuild and gain air superiority with more vikings and BC's than you. On a fundamentals note, you should work on keeping constant scv/depot production. "Probes and Pylons" as Day[9] would say. | ||

It has a total splash range of 5.15. From Liquipedia's  Hellion entry:Despite being able to activate its weapon within a range of 5, the Hellion will deal AoE damage up to a range of 5.15. The flamethrower's stream is about 0.15 wide. Still, hellions are fast enough and deal enough damage that they should be able to deal with marines fairly effectively. | ||

 It's totally different from the style of Terran that I'm used to but whenever I lose it never feels like a build order loss, it just feels like I should have done several different things better. It definitely feels like ZvT, you contain them and hurt their economy, beware the death push, expand more and win with air control and attrition or break them with t3 units. Very fun :D | ||

Now if only people could do it right and not suicide everything they have into my turrets and tanks. I generally do a two base turtle into a slow tank/rine/viking push whenever I see this coming, because few people ever really deviate from the Helion/Banshee BO and don't really get a good expansion up in time to match production. I'm thinking of just thoring it one of these times to really beat it fast. Rarely play anybody good enough to pull this build off, which means more wins for me. Really helped me in the TvT department. Diamond, here I come. | ||

The stim build time nerf is also another significant buff to the build as it slows down marauder or 3rax stim timing pushes. Overall verdict is that the next patch should strengthen the build significantly. | ||

20 seconds is a long time and BC speed went up by about 30% 1.4 to 1.8. This build is going to be alot stronger next patch in the early and late game. Grats on the GSL games btw. | ||

Proxy Banshee Cloak Rush This is my standard tvt opener. The key to the proxy port is obviously location, and, there are certain spots on the map where you can always get away with a proxy port. I consider it safe enough that I do a proxy every single game. TVT is by far my best matchup. One detail to my proxy port strategy is that I include a very early tech lab on my factory at my main so that a scan would make it appear as if I am rushing tank, when really, I am rushing banshee with a port very close to his main. Anyways, I have found that people that go Echoics build do not build Towers. Thus, if you can survive the initial hellion harass, you generally have map control with your banshees until the Raven comes out. During this time, I have been able inflict great damage on my opponents economy. After the initial two banshees, I throw up more Starports and just start massing Tank-Viking. To counter the hellions, I have been working on walling off my mineral line and placing a tank in my mineral line. In any event, I just wanted to say that I win the great majority of my TVTs performing this opening, including against Echoic's new build! Cloaked banshee FTW, business as usual for humanity. (first TL post! so be nice!) | ||
