I was going to ask for the same thing but with the latest patch i don't think any replay's would be very helpful now as there are so many changes.

I can't wait to see hybrid mech air builds. I want to start experimenting with going double factory double starport and seeing what kind of synergies I can create between the air and factory units

OK fellas, check the OP, I have changed the opening message and need to enlist your help.
First of all, we DESPERATELY need VODs and replays that aren't old. If you watch a game in any tournament that you know releases either of those, please, please post. Second of all, and far less important, we really need some decent pictures ^^ If you have any pictures of a mech army doing 'terrible terrible damage', preferably in ultra quality, it would be great if you could post them there.
Thanks,

I dunno if this is the kind of stuff you're looking for, but it's my favourite moment in tvp mech. In less than 20 seconds I kill Protoss' entire maxed carrier/ht/archon + mothership army with minimal losses.
Here's the replay in case you like the scenario but want different sceenshots (with better graphics perhaps): http://drop.sc/242442/

Yes, that's great and I'll put it somewhere in the OP
I think for the picture that goes right at the top, something like a screenshot taken during a mech vs bio battle where the bio is getting destroyed would be good.

That might be hard to find. Winning tvt mech vs bio is usually about either defending small attacks, with constant harass on both sides until the bio player is whittled away and the mech player can finish them with a single attack that rolls them over, or if they tech up properly, outmaneuvering their mass air/tank army with your own. I don't think I ever play bio terrans bad enough that they just suicide their entire army into mine-- they're usually suiciding small groups of attackers into my small groups of defenders all over map...

Even if the situation has to be created artificially, I still think it would look awesome.

As a former bio player....I think I did this a few times when very frustrated

Thanks for those, but because I don't have a great deal of time on my hands at the moment, would you mind just giving me a brief description of the games?

From what I can remember,
In both game 1, Sea uses hellion, banshee, and some bio to all-ins.
In both game 2, Sea uses hellion and banshee to harass, and then turtle to near 200 supply with more than 30 tanks and move out. With some amazing fights in the middle, Sea is able to defeat Protoss with a tank army.

Thanks, updating the OP now.

Ah, maybe I have something for you: one, two, three.
For interesting replays, @IPL5 there was Bomber vs Polt (games 1 & 3, on EV and Daybreak, mech vs biomech both games) and Bomber vs TheStC (EV, mech vs mech). Don't remember all games at this tournament so there are surely more.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check those out. How often do you generally go mech Dwf? Oh and those pictures are incredible <3

Maybe half my games or more in TvT/Z (though I'm awful at meching in mirror and I feel mech relies too much on damage dealt with Hellions and/or Banshees in TvZ).
For streaming resources, FXOTheBest. and FXOasd regularly play mech against T/Z (links below).

For VODs, when those from Ritmix RSL III from today will be ready, there will be a GuMiho vs Scarlett game on Whirlwind (game 3) featuring mech play. Classic Hellion/Banshee → third → double Armory build; GuMiho killed lot of Drones early game (40) and ended the game with his pre-BL timing—even though Zerg's death animation was still triggering after this, game was essentially over as Scarlett had lost her fourth and had not enough resources to make more than 2 Broodlords because GuMiho's timing had forced lot of Roaches.

Thanks for your help, always nice to have a high level players opinion in these types of threads
EDIT: Though TheBest's stream seems to be disabled...

Add the dot at the end in the link and it will work.
