The thing is that the spine crawlers are designed do knock down your wall. then the speedlings come in and go chaos on your probes and stalkers (if you went that tech) not even a void ray will save you.

I agree with inFeZa. I'm having a good time with protoss on close positions.

Yup. inFeZa is right. And someone mentioned getting roaches or the zerg player expanding on the previous page, this is completely incorrect. The zerg player will of only expanded to your natural. He has a very low drone count because he is producing only lings and spine crawlers in order to hold off the protoss. He will not have a 3rd hatchery (unless he is doing it completely wrong and is a nub). And as for roaches, not a chance. Too much supply and the zerg player will have not nearly enough drones to be mining gas. Its 100% lings, spine crawlers, and queens.

Keep in mind, this is a build that is supposed to end the game in 10 minutes or less. This isn't a long term thing and is quite difficult to transition out of. It will end quickly, if it fails, Zerg will likely lose.

Check your natural with a probe before he gets metabolic boost
if you see the hatch, voidray asap, you should be able to destroy it, chronosboosting a voidray.
charge up the VR on your building before attack the hatch if the queen is here (pre charged VR > 1 queen)

If you miss the hatch going up, you can just build 4 sentries to hold the ramp indefinitely while teching to colossus or whatever. The only way to lose is to get panicked and miss a forcefield.

Hm... Stargate / Robotech seems better in my opinion because DT Tech is very risky... with the Robo you can expand anywhere else and if the Zerg doesn't scout it it gives you powerful advantages ... what about the Scouting Probe? If you could keep the scouting Probe alive you don't need the Warpprism and do a fast Expo into Stargate/Robo tech... can't look at those Replays because I am at work :/ will watch them later on.

Your tech is going to be hyper delayed since a zerg who does this cheese will just steal your gas in the beginning.

I thought a non charged VR verses queen was an even like it says in this article http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Void_Ray

So if zerg steals gas in addition to this, what is the response? Save all gas for voidray? We can't use any army units to kill the extractor because they're all needed at the front to prevent speedling runby.
