Just remember that you shouldn't resort on builds that rely on your opponent not being good to work because at higher levels you will have trouble and a LOT of frustration from the fact that your standard builds aren't winning you easy games anymore. gl hf

well you always somehow rely on your opponent being bad

+ playing this kind of build, doesn't mean you don't improve at all, actually it makes you practice many things
+ you may wanna play not to improve, but to have fun for instance...
+ not everybody aims at becoming high master (as a realistic target).

It makes me think about chess: in chess, you have certain strategies that are considered to be not as good as main ones, but which are still practiced by many good players, because they lead to paths the other player doesn't know, and therefore often end up giving you an advantage: the other player plays "out of the book", on his own.
It's a way to say: "let me see if you know how to play by yourself, without learnt-by-heart guides".


But let me make some off topic remark that I have been willing to make for a pretty long time.
I often remarked that SC2 community (no offense to previous poster here), probably because sc2 is a new game, is not interested about what is not considered the best right here right now, as opposed to chess. Against this, I would defend the idea that many strats, even though not working, being old fashioned or too gimmicky, are of great interest to understand the game, and may often lead to new ideas; and instead of shutting them down, we should welcome them with curiosity. That would be having a sc2 culture.

Baneling bust, for instance, is not working in z v t early game. Yet, if your opponent goes double port banshee, it is something you may want to consider as a counter attack. But of course, if you don't know about baneling bust, because it's "all-in gimmicky", etc. then you don't do it.

thanks, missed this thread when it was created.
Any replay for FFE?

[edit] saw your comment @op, guess not then

there should be replays in this post against FFE. (a bit old though).
and have a look at them before you say you don't like it
the thing is I don't pretend to be a very good sc2 player, so I think some player with better skills would play it better than I do

nice read. fun stuff. greate idea.


I don't like it. because from where I stand, every protoss that has an hole in the ass is still colosuss sentric. & i don't need to try it out, to know that this strategy would fall horibly to an two-base colosus timeing (not even an all-in)
