1 corsair vs Z +: usefull for scouting or killing lords, might be used vs mutas, - might be wasted time and money if enemy goes hydra vs TP + :good scouting for enemys gameplan, might be usefull in harrassing dropships, - : will probably be a tech-deadend for a while I think getting 1 corsair is a good package of safety and usefullness. ok, now let's get the pros do the talking: | ||

Of course FZ was made specifically so you'd have a balanced semi-island PvZ game. You can check out some replays though, but I don't know if you can search for "random" as a race  Sorry I couldn't help more. | ||

 ) 4zealot drop can be a good opening although you depend on finding them on the first spot, and finding them on the last spot seriously fucks you over. but it _works_ both pvp pvt and pvz. however what I personally like the most is doing a fast templar build with a semifast robotics. it's very very solid pvz (better than sair imo). expand with 1 templar with storm 1 archon 2 probes then just win the ground battle. in pvp you will have the opportunity to storm drop fast (which is better for killing probes than reaver drop) and pvt you are fine against anything but a fast expander. it requires you to play a lot with it before your timing becomes good, but it is very solid once you do. any suggestion such as "dont play vs random" is gay as hell and people who dodge any matchups at all shouldn't play ladders. | ||

(there are various muta builds that will kill a 1 stargate sair opening if the p does not make early cannons, and someone who goes hydra can easily expand. it's often good vs muta too though but imo, not if he really knows what he's doing. ) 4zealot drop can be a good opening although you depend on finding them on the first spot, and finding them on the last spot seriously fucks you over. but it _works_ both pvp pvt and pvz. however what I personally like the most is doing a fast templar build with a semifast robotics. it's very very solid pvz (better than sair imo). expand with 1 templar with storm 1 archon 2 probes then just win the ground battle. in pvp you will have the opportunity to storm drop fast (which is better for killing probes than reaver drop) and pvt you are fine against anything but a fast expander. it requires you to play a lot with it before your timing becomes good, but it is very solid once you do. any suggestion such as "dont play vs random" is gay as hell and people who dodge any matchups at all shouldn't play ladders. That's what I do on most island maps with P. Just seems to be the most well rounded, safe build. I like to try and go 1 dt, 1 ht, 2 zeal drop and kill workers fairly early vs toss and terran, use archon/storm/cannon to fast exp and overwhelm zerg. | ||

wouldnt a scout be better than a corsair? it can hunt ovies, it can kill shuttle/dropship faster and harass workers to some degree. on the other hand its buildtime is much slower /theorycraft mode off | ||

they're better at killing shuttles and dropships I'll admit that, but they're just too damn slow. | ||
