So why do people say Mech is bad vs Protoss?? Tanks rape everything. Not saying tanks are imba, but they're really good.

Chargelots and bust.

Blink counters and bust.

Immortals and bust.


Mech is HARD countered with any composition past midgame and easily countered midgame with good scouting and sensible decisions. It works for timings before charge/blink/enough Immortals, but it's not a stable long term strategy.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

This. I'm sure Sound's strategy wasn't cross fingers and hope that Tails fucks up, he must've had some good results in practice with it. Either way, I got to see a totally new protoss opener and a really whacky TvP build, so I'm pretty damn happy with that game.

Wait a second... A positive attitude about the game? ^^

Looks like a really good 2 base build, i just dont see it viable if you want a third since you spread you self to thin for counterattacks

Gee how silly of him for not reacting perfectly against a style no one has ever seen before.

nah i mean his over-extension chasing away the first army, with the initial army, if he set up a flank attack, he can take it.

btw, are u THE goswser?

People saying that mech is viable in Protoss need to watch more games. Other than 1/1/1, the MMA 3 siege-tank for defense of 2nd expo or odd timing builds (where you either win the game or transition out into MMM), it is easily countered and/or MMM is a lot better.

If the Protoss knows you're going for a mid to late game mech army, they just mass up on Immortals and charge-lots and lols over your 200/200 army.

I just find it funny when people say mech is so bad vs Protoss. Tanks give me so much trouble its ridiculous. What I think Terran may do in the future is do the same MMM ball with a couple tanks mixed in. Just a couple tanks create so many problems.

they are good if your opponent throws half his army into a meatgrinder of tanks in the middle of the map.

The hellions just buffer damage at that point in the game. keeping his tanks alive

subways in japan. always make sure you are standing behind a cute girl. its not sexual harassment if other people are pushing you in to her.


That is some dubious, but mildly educational advice

Is this country-specific?

i have only done it in japan, because they are super crowded there.

another educational note: NEVER stand by an old lady. because when you get in their way they will run your ass down. and they are small, and go for the back of the knees. seriously.

cute girls = yes
old ladies = no


cute girls --- yes
old ladies --- no


Think I should be able to remember that. It fits fairly well in my general borderline-sexual-harassment-policy

next 30 minute downtime, i will teach you about the salarymen, but now i must focus on pvt.


Can't wait

okay. for salarymen, if its around 5-6 pm, they are relatively fine. 6-8, stay away, they are kinda smelly (think sweat from too much work). 8-11, they've been drinking, so theyll be reddish and smell like booze. after 11-close of trains, stay the fuck away. they will puke on you. they are like chimpanzees with feces. they will throw that shit, and you will get messy.



Man, you are full of wisdom. Maybe you should write a book...or even better...start a cult or something where you dress up in weird robes. Cult-leaders always get a pass on the sexual harassment too

But on a serious note, is it true that people in Japan drink a shitton? I know someone in Japan and he always gets shitfaced after his 12 hour work shift :p

It's the one of the odd timing builds I referred to. If you don't kill the Protoss, you're not going to be able to get that army back up before you lose.

I don't understand how people can say its a bad strategy. Sound clearly prepared the build and practiced it to snipe, if he didn't think it were extremely strong, he wouldn't have done it.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Yeah a few tanks mixed in is probably good, but straight up meching is not.
