The thing with this build that may make it challenging is that its uncommon to see Terrans on lower levels expand early against Protoss. Their aim is ALWAYS to stim push their opponents.

If I see Terran going bio, wouldn't it be better if I tech up to +2 armor and mass chargelots with sentries?

You can actually get Hallu, and then hallu a warp prism into the other end of the Terran base. If they're a good player, they'll see it and pull a bunch of stuff towards it, making your bust easier.

Also, I actually am going to make a youtube video of a replay analysis of a 6 Gate PvT that absolutely crushed the opponent. So if anyone is interested in getting another perspective on how to pull it off, check it out. I'll post it in here (if I remember) when I finish it too.

Sounds awesome, would love to check that out. I guess I always play really standard, opening up 2gate Robo expand 100% of my PvT's, so checking out a really aggressive build would be awesome.

6 gate is amazing against anyone doing rax play, espcially a fe. they have to make a lot of bunkers to stop it, and it's a fine line to scout it coming. there are a lot of games where my opponent does 1 or 2 rax fe, and they get too greedy not making enough bunkers, or they feel safe at just the wrong time and salvage them. i just lol and pretty much 1a with some slow, easy, but well placed force fields

just make sure they aren't going banshees, or do something to stop it in case they go banshees.

if they go tanks, then just remacro up, get chargelots and own.

4kWardens 1-1-1 build gets you enough tanks out to stop it.

I made that video!

Here!

It's a very cool game with Squirtle vs PuMa, a 7 Gate + Hallu allin.

Even with a gas steal aren't you going to be vulnerable to banshees still? I know they will come later but if you're going six gateways before robo he could still catch you before you attack, no?

While you are correct that you are vulnerable to banshee's as the toss with this build, I think the gas steal will deter the terran from getting banshees to begin with. Knowing how delayed they'll be and the likelihood of toss getting a robo, they will be more likely to simply go for a barracks heavy play. Also consider that if you get hallucination early enough and scout a starport with a tech lab with a phoenix, you will have a chance to throw down the robo and get an obs.
They're fools. You should eat them.

I tend to feel that a Terran will show his marauders before you have to commit to the 6gate, or at least you can find out.

Like someone posted on page 2, I like a charge+armour 6/7 gate with primarily zealots and some sentries. When doing it, I've always known one way or another that the Terran was committing to bio before I had to set up the infrastructure for it.
