Yea mass ground is actually scary. Of course then they could harass your worker line a lot and so on since your army isn't that mobile in a way. Hard to say how things would work out.
Tbh vikings could have worked if he just kept sitting them over his bio army as he encroached up, using the massive range advantage to force phoenix/col back (cause if you're over marines, your marines will hit his phoenixes before his phoenixes can hit your vikings.

Early 2010 it was bio + lots of Vikings, more marauder heavy ground, people theory crafted that adding thors would also work, but it was never really tested in a pro game
And from posts in here it seems like flash didn't engage very well, you really want to camp your vikins over marines

I dont want to make you guys hate me but I think Flash is cursed when I watch him play D:
the only times I watched him in BW was vs Bogus in a TvT he lost and in the OSL ro4 vs Fantasy
Then I was here for Flash vs Killer and Flash vs Mini. I'll just take the night off next time he plays

I don't like vikings vs. phoenix at all because they overkill so much. You can't even focus fire the phoenixes because vikings would overkill. Imo mass ground with EMP is the way to go. Flash was only on 3/1 with no armor upgrades and no EMPs, imagine how easily he would have won these fights had he used his 40 supply of vikings on ground units and better upgrades. His vikings didn't really do anything anyway, he killed maybe like what 2 collossi out of 7? pure ground would do sooo much better especially with EMP. the only tricky thing is killing the zealots so you can get in range of the collossi, in which case you need to have your marines behind your marauders so they soak up the damage and EMP everything perfectly. It's hard to beat, but I doubt mass viking will ever work against that if the protoss goes double stargate phoenix (especially if he gets +2 range aswell lol).

Positioning and target firing were the keys in the old Terran vs Phoenix/Colossi games. It was always quite a micro-dependent, unpredictable fight, because how you engaged was very important.
