This is a 2 base all in, as you are completely and utterly fucked tech wise if you do not win the game because you have no upgrades at all. Why you'd build marines for carriers, which could not possibly be out at that time anyway, makes no sense at all. And don't even think about calling thors mech units. What thors are is bigger, more expensive tankier marines. Most definitely not mech units. I don't understand. The build has upgrades for mech units from armory. I believe his tech is good considering he has starport and armory. Agree on marines vs carriers. But how can you say that Thors arent mech units? I would argue that he is fucked if he doesn't end. But not because of upgrades. But because that he has not enough factories to reproduce - and it is an expensive army. (on 2 base that is) | ||

EDIT: I'm pretty sure that opener just dies to any 6 gates or immortal busts as well. | ||

Immortal busts can be harder to stop but the genral idea is just to focus immortals and then mass repair on thors wipes out the rest of the stuff. Hellions don't wipe out zealots when they cannot kite them, which they shouldn't be able to do if your opponent has some degree of skill. And trust me, even mass repairing if your opponent focuses down the SCV's with the zealots and the thors with everything else, they will break through. I have tried mech in tvp countless, countless times and while it is possible, this is not the way. | ||

I think if you lose your army that early with mech. You are dead anyways. But I like the aggressive approach of the strategy. It is strong no doubt about that. The only thing that could be changed would be more vikings for the potential and most probably colossi that are coming. --- It is little probability that the thors will be able to get in range to use strike cannons on the colossi. I read the whole thread. "In defense of Mech" by Falling. But I can not agree that a thor is similar to a marine. And I still believe that a thor is a mech unit. But it is not the same kind as in the siege tank's function. It is kind of like SC2's version of "new" mech. Don't know how to describe it correctly but I think you understand what I mean, but not necessarily agree of course. | ||

The last paragraph, I disagree with. In the other two matchups, mech has the exact same definition as in BW. Yet for some reason in TvP, people want this 'new-age mech' that doesn't comply with what mech is in other matchups and has ever been in other games. Oh god sorry. I'm getting tired. Forgot about the banshees. Never mind the vikings. But it sounds like we are agreeing on the thor. (not saying you said thor is mech unit) It is SC2's new version of mech unit. But I agree that thors might not be the best against toss. I would still like more tanks instead. More hellions, or less. More banshees. More turrets. More BC? | ||

But you can play mech the same way vs protoss. The thor part I have neither any clue why specifically they are popular vs P. I especially love Flash's tank builds vs toss. Not that he does it a lot. | ||
