Yes, but if you pray to July, you will also have to headbutt into Force Fields for their whole duration, or until all of your units are dead.

The 4hatch build which I did (and which was very similar/identical to what KawaiiRice did) is kind of significantly different from that. From just looking at that I don't feel like I would like it as much (though I've also never done it) - but 4hatch before pool is definitely something which can be done at higher/more competitive levels of play. I did it in WCS v Illusion, as well as regularly doing it in ZvT/P in high masters Korean ladder @_@


I'd *love* to get your feedback on the build because I didn't have anything close to recent vods/replays of someone 4hatching so I had to adapt it myself with feedback from Terran practice partners. PM me or whatever if you have time =D.

is the pvz ffe into triple nexus legit. I think even hatch -> pool will be able to get zerglings in toss base before full wall is up.

In cross positions, the wall is completely up with a cannon before the lings can get there on a 14/14. However, fairly early baneling busts or roach plays just completely destroy this, especially if the Protoss opts for the third nexus before extra gateways (which you can scout with your overlord). I imagine a roach/nydus could also work well with the plethora of vision that Protoss has to have in order to see everything, not to mention the backdoor hallway which can't be stopped.

All in all, I think it's a metagame move to go triple nexus, much like it's a counter metagame move to do a baneling bust or a roach all-in. Most likely, in pro play and on the ladder, this will probably settle into a fairly normal opening from both players.

EDIT: If you're talking about slowlings, yeah, it's possible to get into the main base before the wall is up, but again, that's a metagame move and assumes that you're not checking around your bases for proxies or cannons or anything (which could actually mean you're just bad as well); you would literally have to run them straight to his base without stopping.

Well, it can be adjusted like any other FFE. I mean, if you scout something early you just wall in quicker, since it uses all the same building numbers and types as on any other map.

Remember the one game you went super fast speed vs me? I just walled in before the nexus and you couldn't make it in to my base. Then I had a pretty darn safe rest of my base.

Your super fast baneling bust really hit me hard though. Honestly, IMO the biggest issues for FFE on this map the way I show it here (aside from the usual very early pools vs FFE which happens on any map) is some sort of very aggressive roach play on the rocks leading into the natural, followed by many speedlings at the FFE wall. Since this map more than any other if you FFE this way opens up the option of multi pronged attacks much earlier against the spread out Protoss. The main to third distance afterall is pretty big.
