Starcraft 2 online unranked league has path blockers (big rocks with thousands of hit points) so 6 becomes 100 by the time you break them all on path to your opponents base if you continually build

I played that strategy to success by preying on those that spend heaps of time getting buildings to unlock further units at the barracks, by the time they have built all those buildings and have like 10 of those stronger units I have 100+ marines :P

early marine rushes aren't really that good in SC2, I really only see ling rushes work.. terran tend to bunker rush and protoss tend to cannon rush.

I think Protoss is my strong suit, just did a massive Void-Rape in my 4v4 :P

void rays are OP

when I play protoss I usually want to go with stalkers and immortals.

enjoy them while you can because they will probably get edited in Heart of the Swarm.

also tried that in the first 4v4 game and got rushed early

get a forge up if your worried about an early rush then get some cannons up, just make sure your placement is good and the pylon is protected.

The quintessential protoss weakness. Typical really.

Spam zealots early for self-defense against zergling or marine rushes maybe ?

I had zealots and a bunch of photon cannons but I was facing more then one team at once... everyone decided to go every man for themselves in that match, the 2 Terran teams lifted there buildings onto remote islands at the start so it became 2v4 for the 2 protoss players in the early stage.

it was funny as I was the last survivor and I quickly rebuilt a base in another location, I got everyone's resources and was about to spam heaps of photon cannons before they found me

Have any of you guys played the game Impossible Creatures? Completly unrelated to SC2 but Naryars comment reminded me of when I would send my entire army in a pack and the enemy would sneak by and rape my base :P

JoeBlo · « **Reply #129 on:** September 13, 2010, 07:54:23 PM »

that happened to me once... I set up an unbreakable defence on all routes to my base then the ememy dropped there units at the back of my base and took out my SCVs :P

Lol, I play some 1 vs 1 on BNet at my friends house. I won by randomly spamming a few marines and 2 tanks.

It's a great game. I love how can you mix your units, like hybrid snowy owl and electric eel and a LIGHTNING-SPITTING FLIER.

argh I hate backdoor attacking... its like entering a flail ballast narmour crawler in a tournament.. just because I was about to rape him with Void Rays :P

Naryar · « **Reply #135 on:** September 16, 2010, 10:31:15 AM »

Eh. It is a perfectly valuable tactic though.

Next time, MOAR PHOTON CANNONS next to your probes :P

JoeBlo · « **Reply #136 on:** September 16, 2010, 10:42:58 AM »

I will

its a new strategy im developing while I get free unranked matches so while it annoyed the

out of me but at least it points out the flaws (the AI wasn't so smart :P) yeah cannons near the probes or rather then keeping my built void rays away keep them near the probes to take out Medivacs

"SC2: choose who to side with?
Me: Scary Jamaican Dude or Hot Blond Girl? Well this choice is pretty easy... "

When it comes time to choose storylines in SC2 you can tell I have the fate of the galaxy as my number 1 priority :P

Doomkiller · « **Reply #138 on:** September 18, 2010, 05:01:45 AM »

Thats like Dark Messiah. Go good, and go with a girl who only says thanks when you kill a dragon, and helps you here or there

Or go evil and get the demonic (sexy) girl who helps you all the way, brings you back to life and gives you a demonic form.
O, and promises to grant you your wildess sex dreams :P
