Now you talking crazy. Everyone knows that scouting leads to death. Look at Falsh vs Zest IEM Finals. Flash only lost the game he scouted!

While I understand I don't play people of the same caliber, the standard zerg opening does not do well against it at all. it can be somewhat allinnish It isn't. It's literally the exact same as the 2 reaper 6 hellion build, except you make the armory instead of the starport, it hits the exact same time. Behind it you make your 3rd CC, rax 2-3 and eng bays. It's a macro build, except instead of hellions, it's hellbats. Allin-ish means that if the attack fails, you're way behind. If roaches are out and the push is defended, you are pretty open for a counter attack. Also, while you can still load in and drop, there's no way to push creep back which should allow zerg to safely take a fast fourth. (imo ofc)
But you're not behind. Maybe I'll upload a game sometime and show the timings, there's VERY little difference, except that hellbats are basically guaranteed to do more damage than hellions. And if the zerg is prepared you back off, like you would with your hellions.

we're talking about a game where happy heaviliy commited to a port and an armory delaying his 3rd, upgrades and production. But it's not something that'll put him back at all if it fails. Ok mr know it all.

Should've expected this kind of response. One game != every game. When one building spells the difference between standard macro play and a big hellbat attack it is very hard to scout. Not to mention if you're going to go roaches reactively you have to spot the armory in enough time to build the warren and complete roaches before the attack hits, which is a small window

No, macro builds can include a ~6'40 bane nest out of safety. soO played like that vs Flash in GSL.

Wolverine ain't got a thing on Reapers. Because who needs claws, when you have uranium shells.

defensive roaches put you ahead. like way ahead.

It can include a bane nest, but it's absolutely not the standard

Wait, that hellbat attack is not really a sharp timing but more a "let's hope he hasn't 10 banes and/or 5 roaches". I'm not saying this build is bad. I'm just saying that in case it totally gets shut down, you're way behind. More behind when eg. cloaked banshee play gets shut down hard.

If the zerg blindly opens roaches/is going for a big roach or roach bane attack then he can shut it down very easily. It's what I don't like about the build. it tends to result in bops either way

a wall, queens and a spine can hold such pushes just fine

Why? Can't teran just go for 1-2 tanks while pumping out a 3rd or a double ebay? I don't get how 5-10 roaches put you way behind, especially since they are slow and can't counter drop play.
