how do you beat sky terran, PvT...basically what happens is the T opens up 2starport banshee, then expands with his minerals, and starts mass expanding with PF and turrets while amassing a battlecruiser viking banshee force, with a few ravens. there isnt a way to break it early due to the strength of PF and the turrets protecting from void rays then it just rolls later on due to the composition being able to take mass feedback without dying (usually in yellow/red hp) but still win the fight because stalkers melt instantly, as do phoenix and void rays get yamato'd

i dont see a composition to beat this

100 burrowed banelings and 30 corruptors. You have no obs. Bam no ground army and here comes 30 corruptors vs carrier/mothership.

On a serious note, you should include a little blurb on how to approach thinking about how many buildings you can have at a given time. You told me your method before and it is rather elegant and would help a lot of players out.

How do I defend a cannon rush?
- Hide Spoiler -
You must scout this in time, preferably as his first proxy pylon is building. Immediately throw up your own forge. His first cannon will finish and there is usually nothing you can do about it as long as the cannon is not in range of your probes/buildings. Throw up a cannon between your buildings and his first cannon but not in range of the cannon. If he tries to throw up more than 1 cannon, keep throwing up cannons, either matching his cannon count or going over by 1. The key is to make sure your cannons win this cannon vs cannon fight. Whoever wins this will usually win this game. If you think it will be close, you can even pull probes to attack the cannons just so you get a small edge on cannon hp, even if you lose probes. If you think you can decisively win this cannon war without additional cannons, cancel your other cannons in production.

How about building a couple of zealots, ignoring the cannons and using the zealots to take out his probes while getting away as many probes as possible as soon as you have 400 minerals, to take a new nexus?

You shouldn't lose any probes to a single zealot with minimal probe micro.
