Pretty sure that Colossus is the only answer. Queens and Spores are too good versus Void Rays for them to work and everything else gets crushed by Locusts. The key to combating two base Swarm Host builds is a counter attack from a Warp Prism or hidden Pylon and building Colossus. The counter attack keeps your opponent from teching, reduces the pressure of the siege and deals damage to his weak economy. Colossus are just the straight up counter to Swarm Hosts and once you crush his army, you march into his base for the win.
Watch as JYP crushes a two base Swarmhost All-in:
I'm really curious about Blade's Roach/Hydra/Swarm Host composition. Seems like a Colossus timing would crush this and you'd have to get superfast Vipers out. How do you afford it all?
