EPTI'm going to be posting some builds i find interesting, innovative, fun to play, unusual , etc. Im not going into much depth with these builds. I'm just trying to highlight builds that not many know about or have experience with. I'll be linking to some threads on TL. Theres a lot of lost gems here. Feel free to ask me to go more in depth with these builds though, I'll try my best to answer them. (Im a Terran Player so im going to be sticking to terran builds for now) I strongly encourage people to post their own builds.
TvP Boxer's Dropship Push
+ Show Spoiler +
Yes the real boxer, not some SC 1 Foxer. The TvP's that Boxer played before switching to SC2 were really innovative and something Ive never seen before.
The main focus around the build is a 2 base timing push with heavy dropship play. In order to supplement this, Boxer opens up 1 rax expand. He then transitions into 6 fact and increases his dropship count to 3. = 6 tanks.
The whole build revolves around the first drop of 6 tanks + 12 vultures. If it fails and gets shut time (Pusan vs Boxer) your in a horrible position as you just lost 6 tanks for nothing. If not, your in a great position to follow up with a second push while hes horribly out of position.
Because Jon747 got taken down, here are wfbrood vods of the games. They take some time to load. (Wf Brood does not have Pusan vs Boxer) SlayerS_’BoxeR’ vs PuSan[S.G] [24 November, 2009] @ Yong-Dal Van Of Revenge (can anyone find this?)

TvT TvZ 9 Fact
+ Show Spoiler +
A build that can work in both TvZ and TvT. Its more popular in TvZ though. 9 Fact is pretty much the fastest possible factory without sacrificing all your economy. Your welcome to try a 5 fact though 
.
Followups range a lot depending on what you want to do. You can all in or transition into standard play. Only thing you cant do is transition right into mech as you want to proxy the first factory.

TvP Fantasy's 3 Fact Vulture.
+ Show Spoiler +
More of a opening and less of a build. Theres many ways to approach getting to this point. This style revolves heavily around gaining a lot of map control. Using a very mobile tank and vult force, you can hold map control and easily take your 3rd and transition. A strong transition is to switch into a heavy 9 factory push.

TvP Lights 1 Fact Vessel
+ Show Spoiler +
Came about during a period of time where Really was "really" into doing his medic blind opening on matchpoint. Since matchpoint is less open, theres 1 middle lane, really controlled it with a mine field and a single medic. Problem is, Really's build is really hard to execute since it requires constant multitasking and if you dont get the necessary blinds on, you start falling apart.
Light came up with a build thats a bit more flexible, but it worked a bit differently. Instead of medics, he used a dropship followed by a wraith + vessel combo. Even though it failed hard in all his games, there wasnt a huge problem with his build overall. It can transition into late game and timing push.

TvP Mio Drop Style

Remember this guy? Im sure you do. Introduced TL to the crazy drop harass player known as mio. Is it possible to describe what this involves? Its better to just watch the replays.

TvP Strong FD With a Twist.
+ Show Spoiler +
Everyone should know what the strong fd is. Typically 7-8 marine + 2 tank push.
Heres where the twist comes in. The big problem with strong fd is that its limited to only pushing against no tech or observer openings. Reavers or dts both do a ton of damage to it. This fd instead gives you the same strength push but allows you to defend DT's.

TvP Dropship --> 2 Base Push
+ Show Spoiler +
A difficulty with pushing is you have to inch like a snail to your opponents base. If you open dropship play you can keep your opponent defending harass while you do a very quick but strong push right up to the nat.
