Goody switched to protoss vs protoss because he cant mecht vs protoss and if the god of mech cant play mech vs protoss, no one in this world can !

Even Goody, who's known specifically for using mech in every matchup, mentioned that he was struggling to beat protoss since those patches.

Do you think it's a viable option at the top levels?


And that's not to mention the various times we all addressed this point, as well as Lyyna answering that point in the fucking OP.

Banshees do more damage to colossus than vikings, why people make vikings against colossus when vikings are useless against everything else? Banshees shoot every ground unit so they are better option even though they cost more.

Generally because vikings have so much longer range and auto-target colossi. With vikings you will have an easier time finding a good angle and also keep them out of harms way. With the banshee's low range its hard to really focus fire down colossi without puting them in a nasty spot.

I lost to a Terran on ladder who played a similar all-mech style. He opened up with very delayed and unexpected blue flame hellion drops into my mineral line. They did terrible terrible damage and from that point on I was pretty much behind.

I was thoroughly confused by the play style over all.

If terran can manage to make perfect defenses, there is no reason why this style would not work.

Regarding the issue of getting both air and factory units, and how that is supposedly bad for upgrade synergy, I want to point to a game I played on my zerg alt account yesterday. I play a tvp style that has more in common with mass air, but I generally want to end up with 50/50 army supply of air and mech units and a lot of fortresses. But I get upgrades primarly for the air units, because they're the real damage dealers in terms of keeping the protoss small and humble and also what lets me get bases all over the map.

here's the replay http://drop.sc/151095

@ about 23 minutes you can see what happens when a 2-0-2 protoss army fights a badly positioned 0-0 mech army. It's a very, very good trade for me.

Basically my point is, people make a big deal out of the whole upgrade issue, but mech units are really good even at 0-0, especially against a composition that was made to deal with banshees, not tanks.

(and another replay, just because Entombed Valley seems to be good for mech: http://drop.sc/151101 )

People should take this build for what it is. Its not standard, therefore a lot of casual gamers dont know how to deal with it and lose terribly. It will probably give you wins on the ladder or make you feel rewarded for playing well ( like bio cant be played well lol ). Will it work on pro level, korean gm or high masters? No, it will get crushed. But thats ok, cause very few are at that level. Its like advising bronze level players to go roach zvz cause it will give them more wins at their level than ling bling. People should do what works for them... But please drop the almighty attitude like you somehow reinvented tvp and all bio players are dumb, getting killed by an a-move toss.


Sorry but it works at Korean GM, and it works at pro level (mech in general)

Out of 3 times it's been used in GSL/GSTL, it has won all 3 times. Each game is a bit different and it shows that one build working quite well. A different build, though still mech, was used in GSTL as well back when they had crevasse. The teching pattern was similar though the opener was different. He was in a good spot but didn't seem to watch his minimap carefully enough because he let MC's army go around his army without reacting fast enough (no time to siege up in place). MC got into his main and then he sieged up, and ofc that ended up messy.

The first build I mentioned was used again in HSC4, where MKP beat MC with it.

Out of all 5 times I've seen mech work at korean pro level, it's won 4 times and done very well all 5 times.

Very good guide!

I tried this build and when I saw the Protoss pushing mid to late game with his army from my sensor towers, I launched a nuke in the pathway his army was headed for my tank line while the banshees killed every probe in his third. The nuke barely took out a few collisi but the defensive position force the gg.

Long games though, i normally just 2 rax into a 2 base all in vs toss cuz of the late game scares...but the guide was easy to follow to try at least once and was a fun mix up.

Cheers

you could try, but he'll have several if you have cloaked banshees and the collosi will make it difficult for you to pick out the obsrver and snipe it.

but perhaps most importantly, if you don't make vikings toss will take air control and just kill your banshees with voids or phoenix

It's not that EZ I think, that's why I always add 3 or 4 vikings to snipe them because I'm not always able to see it through the deathball protoss.
