StarCraft 2 - [T] Planetary Fortress Rush - Strategy

[grannyjone]

Looks a good strategy I might try this from now on

[FinalFlash555]

omg this is hailarious!!!



[ohinchcliffe]

void ray anyone?

[StoneyFT]

'' i wanna see this in diamond'' i wanna be in diamond -.-

[2moonsfun]

@StoneyFT i wanna be in silver -.-

[TerrorDroneest]

First thing to wrong is to pick a bad landing spot. To counter this would have been easiest to store up enough minerals for extra nexus and then cannon the back of the mineral line to stop him from looting it and also block the ramp with the same thing to deny this route as well. Voila and the problem is solved.

[vergil213]

i pulled this off in plastic league.

[Evan121213]

toss just need to take his stalkers to minerals and build a new base some where elese easy to counter

[TheMadFedje]

"keep boning guys"

[kanistor22]

If u guys watching this like to see me get a new livingroom with a custom samsung HD flatscreen tv, and leather sofa, go ahead and send me sum' donations guys!

lmao

[HourOfOurTime]

should have landed inbetween the forge and the nexus. fucked up. should have lost.

[FishDontBlinq]

Whoops I saw some other people mention what I said

[FishDontBlinq]

Well, you should have loaded the command center so you an drop in their base and start mining or making sure they do not block your landing spot

[TheDavids888]

For me this idea is really bad(or good against mega noobs) your enemy should just take expansion and build cannon behind his base. Then you are not able to gather resources and he can just wait and make some units from his expansion.

[funkrafty]

wonder if this works v insane ai protoss

[SirGlooper]

lol noob cheesing noob priceless

[TheNarganator]

wouldn't it be better to land in their netural expansion? you could preent them from expanding, it would work against zerg (just so long as they don't fast expand). you can starve you enemy because they would have to break through you planetary fortress with one base, and you can expand as well, and since you have mining going on, you can add bunker/marines and even tanks

[mufasita6]

omg that epix

[Halikyon]

i though the protoss player was me for a second there, seeing as how close our names are. the other reason i knew it wasn't me is that i don't remember failing like this

[AbduCola]

Im confused i thought you could load SCVs into a CC

[FireNetHD]

@AbduCola u can but when you get the planetary fortress i beleive it also gets rid of the loading.... i dont play terran enough to know :P

[AbduCola]

@FireNetHD I mean when he first lifted off, why not jsut load SCVs?

[FireNetHD]

@AbduCola i guess incase the enemy shot it down he didnt want to risk loosing all his scv's

[shatterXY]

@FireNetHD thats not it. SCVs are for attacking/distracting any probe that is getting in the way of landing. more scv on the ground the better

[hobbyrunker20]

as protos u can also just get 400 minirals and make anoter nexus xd

[hobbyrunker20]

how fuck can u loose to thise hahahahahaa sad

[nebonit]

You should have gotton the range upgrade and maybe armour from your engy bay.

[AdanJJr2]

this really only works with protoss cux terran can lift base and go somewere else and u can do it to zerg cuz of creep

[Acidicstudios]

|'D done this quite few times now thx to this vid, and it really does work well against protoss players, although loading one's SCV's into the CC and unloading them before you land can help stop any attempt to stop your CC from landing and getting that PF in~

[alexchris32]

my personal favourite strategy is the "do nothing" strategy

you simply do nothing,the enemy think that your afk and nobody likes a game where the oppnonent does nothing so they will leave

[xXhalofan21Xx]

the probe at 2:52 is like o_0 wtf

[ToroCheng34]

@xXhalofan21Xx 3:25 "WOW, what's going on?!?!?!" --- Zealot. LMFAOOO

[1992wootwoot]

ever heard of scv's healing your command centre? lol

[iliketha]

terrible positioning on the cc, should have put it directly behind the nexus so it was in range of all protoss buildings, and one side was covered so a complete surround was impossible, also if he had 400 minerals just relocated his nexus, you would be in a better position to mine from his original base.

[EmrXaldGaming]

the protoss must be like " wtf you noobs you cant harvest here, WTF are you doing NAAAB" like a cnon rush actually

[Joulupukki5]

This is only effective against protoss. A terran could just fly away with his own base, and as he said in the vid, you cannot land on creep...

[TheREALMcstaggy]

All your base are being used against you.

[Zeth444]

RIP scrap station

[romas011]

you can easily counter this either by not letting it land, or expanding in a far away location.

[asasa348]

you should load the command center with scvs so when u land you can get them out to repair

[MrAxBaby]

protoss is O P

[Grumpygirl78]

@MrAxBaby no.. there easyer to play with terran needs allot more micro....

[bamchikawahwah86]

Probe at 2.52 (o_O) wtf!

[dawskatty]

@bamchikawahwah86

Exactly what i was thinking

[Randja066]

what if he expands :_(

[TheBackUpBoys]

@Randja066 you are able to scout it with scw so you are able to kill his exe with scw

;DD

[alexveldin]

the scv's in the command center. :D

[LehmannDaHero]

POLANETARY FOROTDDS

[DreamMorpheus42]

yeah, worked a lot better before the planetary fortress nerfs :) Still remember the 1st time i saw this in beta. I actually want even pissed, I thought it was hilarious.

[Grmln25]

planetary 'fortresh' rush

learn how to talk

[fiftokaar]

Terran would fly away if you try this

[baggerbags]

Photon cannon - range 7. Ibiks Cannon - range 6. Nuff said.

[00BLACKX]

I just couldn't stop laughing when you pwned him with your command center XD

[XarcZai]

hi, save 400 minerals and make a new base...

win the game

[Collnel]

a base in a base: BASEception

[punkkrockkk]

someone tried this on me and i killed it with my probes

[halomast799]

pull it of in grand master aahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah­ha

[calza302]

@halomast799 I'm sure if you're in grandmaster and you fall for this, there would be some serious rage face going on

[halomast799]

@calza302 ikr

[mileswk]

oh dear: put a cannon in you mineral line and get a probe to make another cannon at the bottom of your ramp. save enough money to move out to your nateral. and then kill the rest of proves. make... oooohhh.... one void ray? and keel him -_- easy to counter.

[gravityshift123]

@mileswk blck the ramp with scvs. harharharharhahrahrhahrhr

[physmichaeltsui]

omg i'm going to try that out tonight！ look out folks LOL

[123LovelyKid]

why cant we be friends why cant we be friends and then when i drop my base i will destroy u and (steal ur minerals)

[kelmorian178]

ATTENTION:

Probes/Drones can stay underthe CC and

[cheaterbaki]

the animation fire of the planet. fort. is lame, except, it attacks bio units :D

[meleesour1]

i have pulled it off in platinum once but it was only just 

[Stepcloserr]

double zerg planetary fortress rush worked twice in a row in 3v3 gold

[mikecmtong]

i got it to work on xel'naga caverns!

...

but it was against a very easy AI :D

[wmpooler]

I have done it better send me a message and I will tell you how

[mgee332]

Gave that bitch base.

Bitches loves bases.

[bait28]

lol, i beat a bronze kid who tried it. i'm in bronze.

[TheLiivahiir]

lol I'm watching this for funday monday

[Ranakastrasz]

Part of your base are belong to us.

[top414141]

this strategy is hilarious

hahahahahahahahahaa

[PandaN0od1es]

actually planetary fortress rush was pulled of by tlo in diamond league but instead of only pfs he also had 3 reapers as back up so he could plant them down while keeping the other player busy

[TheCanadianMVP]

counter by mining 400 minerals, and run to gold and make a base.

Derp



[Alexon88]

@TheCanadianMVP or just put a drone under the planetary . LISTEN TO THE VIDEO o_O

I like TLOs version more though.

AND WHY DOES HE PLANT IT SO FAR AWAY FROM THE NEXUS?!?!?!?!? just plant it right next to it o_O

[cameronoberg]

ALL YOUR BASE, ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US, ALL YOUR BASE, ALL YOUR BASE, ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US

[sandman366]

You should steal his gas and minerals while you're attacking :P (That or get a second CC to attack with)

[sandman366]

@sandman366 Nevermind, saw you started doing that......didn't watch whole vid lol

[64213178]

"Today we're going to be taking a look at the age sanitary fortress rush"...

Check out the CC audio-transcribe on the play-bar.

[64213178]

@64213178

"armed so yeah we're looking at a plant a fortune a russian like this."

[xXzantaxXx]

some one used this against me... they walled off their base but thats what airdrops are for :D

[reggiesosa1]

OMG Based God. you can take my Minerals

[pikey8585]

HD casted a pro game with this strategy. Pretty good.

watch?v=I6aqO8FTM08

[draistRomol]

YO DAWG

I HEARD YOU LIKE BASES

SO I PUT A BASE IN YO BASE

SO YOU CAN BASE WHILE I BASE

[Th3D3vilInsid3M3]

@draistRomol

MAXIMUSBLACK!!! xD

[qwas12348gr5]

@draistRomol

Like a boss.

[CheaterGuy1998]

@draistRomol BASECEPTION!

[ceberusbotcatcher]

There are rushes.. and then there's flying your entire fucking command center in the opponent's base.

[wdrotar]

A. Must be vs bronze

B. Must be on this map

[58jtaylor]

AHAHA that is the funniest strategy i have even seen! and to even start mining his minerals. classic

[PCRegenerated467]

It would be really good if you could try this in Diamond league as I'm not in any league yet because everyone is just playing custom games, my SC2 name is SkullTerran thanks! :)

[PCRegenerated467]

I have a good strat for Terran or Protoss races, it's an economy mass, this only works mainly for Terran, firstly start building 2 supply depots as soon as you can, then what you want to do is start massing SCV's and keep adding supply depots to you're wall, then build a barracks at about 4-5 mins into the game and just try and expand use marines to defend you're SCV's the reason I did this is so my team would win I just send them about 500 gas and 1000-1500 minerals to them every 3-4minutes

[ih8kkk]

a variation that i came up with is taking their natural and surrounding them. If you keep up a good defensive with marines, bunkers, and later tanks & turrets, you can probably beat even better players since they don't see it coming.

[ACTIVEDEVICE]

Dude! you missed the best part of this strat! Once you land the planetary fortress is up and starts raping the opponent, you troll consistently, saying (in all caps) "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" lulz ensue

[TheX3Gamer]

Sharing is caring

[sdaerfofsteam2]

@TheX3Gamer You gotta share! You gotta care! It's the right thing to do, and there'll always be a way throoouuuggghhh!

That was the worst performance we've ever seen.

Awww...

[AhFlef]

loled through out, why didnt i watch this before my last game 10 mins ago XDD

[Fablezzz]

You forgot to load five SCV's into the fortress to repair it!

[NoDoubtFilms]

You sound like Freddie Wong, just saying lol

[IzzySpint]

@NoDoubtFilms It's really not that important to do that, and it's just a waste of SCV's that you could use to mine.

[marcocmh]

i think the toss one should get a dt...

[KevinTheCow]

would it be better to get gas at 7 or 9 supply?

[humpermna90]

well i would like to see a marauder rush on a zerg that would be nice



[DcU4u]

cant terran just lift off if someone tries this?

[jamesBardanJusikOng]

I am quite a newbie at SC2, so dont blame me if i get this wrong, but is that Protoss player trying to do a Void Ray Rush?

[DVSFS]

@jamesBardanJusikOng , lol he died before he even had started dreaming of the.... "any" rush^^

[josephcreed13]

@jamesBardanJusikOng no seeing if he was going mass ray seeing mym ain is toss he woulda had aout 2 stargates and mosto f the time a fleet becaon to get out the mothership for invisabilty and vortex was probly going for a usally build of what i could see on the screen as 4 gate robo

[AspiringPotato]

why is Friday in the related videos?



[chinareds54]

This would be a disaster against someone who was fast expanding. Or just smart enough to expand after you built the PF. The protoss had enough for a stalker, 3 zealots and 2 cannons. He easily could have rebuilt at an expo with all of his probes and out-macroed the rush.

[cancan460]

i tried it with platinum and won XD sadly didnt vid :(

[GodInSomething]

I tried it...I won...xD

[ert031]

you should have loaded up your comannd center

[DrunkDeku]

he could have easily gotten the base down and took the pylon out early on...

[jlkos]

When I played around with this, the opponent always did denied landing.

But I was able to land after attacking with my SCV.

What I found to be the most effective way to do this, was making as many SCV as possible to actually be able to fight for landing, and have some extra minerals and gas to repair and make SCV when the planetary fortress was finish.

[Zeruckiven]

umm, scouts anyone?

[Azurea50]

This is the terran response to building photon cannons in the back of your opponents mineral line :)

[smallermouse]

u didnt even win noob..

[Bob30737]

@Bob30737 I usually finnish the match with what i call a "duke nukem fatality" xD

Basically i make a load of ghost academies at base 1 and make a few ghosts at the base 2 barracks.

[Bob30737]

@smallermouse he was too busy collecting minerals,he was doomed right at the moment he moved his base.

The protoss are slow, so he should of had enough time to stock up on scv's then bulid a second base to use for a PF rush. While waiting for the base, build a second refinary -- once the base is on the move and have enough gas, upgrade the strength of all buildings at engineering bay -- then make base 2 scv's build barracks and use minerals collected at base 1 to make new scv's at base 2.

[BIAXlD3NT]

@smallermouse he isnt even playing dumbass..

[workescapist]

yeah, okay, but how do i stop that thing, if it was able to land?

i guess only expanding is possible.

[ronacalu]

@workescapist Just having a probe follow around the command center and get below it, so that it cannot land.

[workescapist]

@ronacalu yes, but what if i didnt see it comming?

it happened to me once so far, but it really annoyed the shit out of me, and i surrendered imediately.

i hate those dumb trix. zerg rush is okay, but some things are just annoying, because once they started you can not defend against it.

[ronacalu]

@workescapist  expand, coz that's the only thing left to do, while somebody is sharing their base with u.

[workescapist]

@ronacalu if i myself am terran i might just fly away, right?

that would give my oponent a disadvantage, because ho made his fortress solide, and unable to fly, after putting it into fortress mode. AND he cn not attack me as soon as i start lifting of. on scrap station i could go to the up-right minerals, where he can not get me.

[Theredwingsfan96]

send 5 scvs with it to repair helps soo much if they have cannons

[mase598]

quickly thought i didnt watch the hole video but if you are against protoss and if you can get stuff for planetary fast enough and fly over since you need to build protoss stuff near a pylon place fortress in pylon fast so then that pylon would have less place to build at start

[AsaTellurium]

any protoss with brains would continue farming minerals and not build anything and make a new base....

[lifprasir]

I got raped by this strat twice... teh second time was bit different, moved his pf to my expansion and i couldn't get out of y base :X

[epicfail86]

@lifprasir

do the words "warp prism" mean anything to you?

[theninjaginga22]

lol amazing im trying it now!! :)

[Laindal]

As you have said, one probe and the strategy fails. Interesting strategy, but i'd say that it's fail probability is 99,999999999999999999999999999­9999999999999%

[JohnLification]

@Laindal so you're saying it's above certain to fail? 

[Laindal]

@JohnLification sorry, I'm not english speaker and I cannot understand what are you saying... What means "above certain to fail"?

[cubeface21]

I hope someone does this against me some day.

[xxMidgetxxJL]

The 2 that disliked got beat by this strategy.

[gaboh0222]

im sorry but this will ONLY work in bronze or silver... a smart player would just save up 400 and expo anywhere else in the map.. and Terran would automatically be behind..

Good strat for begginers

[Reave15]

haha sooo dumb but i love it- another cheese

anyone can't think of a fast way to counter this kinda deserves to lose or at least stay in bronze

[sabre4lyfe]

Its pretty bad when i try to hold my mouse over the building to see its health...

[daneilBambam]

what if the protoss or w/e just expands instead of dealing with your planetary

[sabre4lyfe]

@daneilBambam Then they're smart. sometimes they dont have enough mins tho if you get them in time. cause the planetary fortress can't lift off so terran is kinda behind if toss moves

[2dark15]

i was that protoss in my first game... "hey lets be friends!"

[IIbikerII]

probes over at the other guys base were like "Dubya Tee Eff O_o"

[DoctorBenc]

Surely this could be countered almost instantly by building a second Nexus a little farther away from the Planetary Fortress?

[lipnoodle117]

probes were like "lolwut?"

[cheezandtoast]

@lipnoodle117 I was like "lolwut?"

[Clipedify]

Love your guides Force! I'm lucky that i only play terran, since you do alot of terran guides. One question, how many wins do you got with terran in 1v1?

[paulkim172]

its so funny how ur strategies is at most 10 mins long to finish ur opponent. -.-

[ExoticOrenges]

What is terran?

[justdidthistocommen1]

okay im a silver protoss player and even i wouldn't have been beaten by this

[Alxphat]

apparently the protoss player doesnt know how to deal with it... and it wouldnt work on another terran player since they can just lift off their building and find a new base lol

[junkai1995]

rofl, just get 400 minerals and expand -_-

[tommybaterista]

@junkai1995 no, planetary fortress it's more fun xD

[Madpolis7]

kinda mocking lower legues but okay...

[RJR03]

haha that probe at 2:53 is saying.... WTF?????

[brizihe]

beat a zerg with this strat! :)

[khaluu2000]

I love that slogan...."set it and forget it"

[hi81510]

Lololololol I'm soo gonna try this in diamond :DDDDD

[JumpFeverHSU]

lol the guy gave a dislike had been pwnd by this tactic :D:D:D

[yyx990803]

lol even if you let it land, just save up enough money to build another base at your natural... since he has nothing but a fortress that cannot move, and everything out of its range is still going to be working, its an auto gg

[ADRockstroh]

@yyx990803 He can mine from your mineral line and build up a force while you wait for the exp to finish. But still it's much easier to just put something under the CC, it doesn't have to be forever, but just enough to get the economy high enough to prevent him from doing any real damage.

[UnkownStrider]

first vid i ever seen with no dislikes

[Fletzherdk]

Does not really work against terran either, as they can just lift off and fly to another expansion:0

[MicAarZur]

This would never work against a gold. They'd know to not let it land.

[JPMHUDProductions]

thats so epic im gonna give it a shot xD

Note: Like he said it's just put a worker below it but like he said again, in lower leagues the player gonna be like: "What th f**k is he doing?" and won't even think in put a worker below it.

[nbaumg]

just load 5 scvs into your cc and land it as close to the other main building as possible so you can kill all their probs too
