@tomichasquad hehe thanks. Back then I was thinking "OMG What can i do to quickly get rid of these without getting killed?!" Too bad it took ages to get them and my base was done by then.
uhh just focus down the pylon if there's only one? or even try focusing down the probe once you see it laying down shit next to your base? you had marines, even if theres a shit ton of cannons just rally them away and keep making until your racks go down or you just push out and like 3 shot a pylon with marauders.
Not only did he fail at cannon rushing but most likely fails at life. What a piece of shit fucking failure! I main Protoss and I have NEVER canon rushed in a ladder match. Mucking around with friends fine but ladder? c'mon...
@pyrusFTSC Ah loads of people do it in the ladder. I was cannon rushed 3 times yesterday, which is the most all season. But I stopped them all no trouble, it was quite funny seeing people try and salvage their strat simply because I walled off and they couldn't get high ground into my base :P
by this point in the game if you are losing to a cannon rush as terran you just suck. there are so many ways to stop them but the easiest is probably just to float everything down to your natural, build some marauders and go waste his base.
@Arksimon2k you have won only because the protoss has badly profited by his opening rush. And without terrans, cho can move the buildings, you would have lost
@Pinco173 Only I didn't move my command centre until all my buildings were gone anyway :P
I know it wasn't any special skill on my part except pure determination not to quit after losing my base. Besides this was my first proper cannon rush experience, I haven't been successfully rushed like this in ages.
@Arksimon2k you have won only because the protoss has badly profited by his opening rush. And without terrans, who can move the buildings, you would have lost
I recently got cannon rushed but I was doing 2 rax aggro and as soon as I saw cannons I lifted. I got my 6 rines in his base and kept on reinforcing. Then, he gg'd.
As for a cannon rush, the protoss player must block the vespin of the enemey with own assimilators. So the enemy cannot build any better units then marines. If the existing marines attacking the assimilators, zealots can crash the wall in. Btw: A cannon rush is cheesy, but I think a wall-in is cheesy too.
@sunadorer Well I disagree that a wall in is cheesy. In fact in a lot of cases its the only thing keeping a terran player from losing in the first several minutes.
There is little a terran can do with one marine against 6 zerglings or rushing zealots. Even if you take them out with scv's as well you're then so far behind at that point. It also can stop a worker scout from seeing everything you have, meaning they'll need some higher rech scouting options.
@Arksimon2k Yes you're right. A wall-in for the early game isn't cheesy. But if the terran won't stop turteling in mid- and late game a massive wall in becomes cheesy (in my opinion). what do you think?
@sunadorer Ah right. Well a wall in itself isn't the problems its likely the bunkers and seige tanks they place behind it. Turtling can get a bit out of hand and if players just turtle to get to Battlecruiser or carriers, it is a bit cheesy. Because even if you know what they're doing its easy to get blown apart just by being offensive.
@Arksimon2k Turtling isnt cheesy if terrans use whats called scan, toss use whats called observers, and zerg use whats called an overseer to scout. once u know what they are doing u can just expand xsome safe number and counter whatever they are massing.
i'm not seeming to understand why he kept continuing the production of all of those cannons in your main... once he had your base held down he should of already been pumping gateway units and starting teching to robo... really really really amateurish...
@boneboy767 It doesn't disable the cannon or anything, but it will remove the shields like with any protoss unit. I think I was EMPing them just to bring them down quicker.
@asszudemi2647 Yeah it'll only take off 100. So it'll remove the shields from pylons and cannons i believe but thats about it. I'm not sure about their shield values.
Hey, I'm a Protoss player, and frankly, Cannon Rushing is the WORST and CHEESIEST technique out there... Its ruins the whole game! The point of Starcraft is to HAVE FUN... Cannon rushing is just for stupid portraits and stats, I'm in bronze and I don't mind! (Don't think I'm a noob >:)
@HonorGuard035 i doesnt work at all if it gets scouted: just send one probe to attack the enemy probe, then four probes per cannon/pylon being warped in :). Cannon rush thwarted
@benzinator11 well the guy i was facing, he was putting down pylons (for cannons) quicker than I could kill them while they were warping in not only that but he's got more probes going for him than I have SCVs, which is completely unfair
I usually dont like nerfs or buffs, but this absolutely needs to be nerfed If you're going to nerf the reaper rush, nerf this
just saying hes extremely bad, he was cannon containing at the end but he never moved his army off the cannons that were getting nuked. its sad, even then he should have done that and just gotten immortals or chargelots/high templar with an observer for ur ghost he had plenty of time and he would have raped u bio units in like 2 seconds. you technically won because he was awful. for future reference follow probes and make sure they dont cannon u, wall off kill the probe wit ur scvs autocountered
@Hasuhealsorz Correct. This was a while ago now and i had encountered proxy cannons outside my main but hadn't dealt with them inside so I was panicing. I can counter this fine now usually.
the best thing you could of done was send all your marines and ghost to his base. nuke his base and kill all his probes. you could have just lifted off your CC and saved 400 mins. easy win.
Silver League is full of Cheesers that got there by cheesing their way out of Bronze League. I figured that Cannon Rushing a Terran would be a very bad idea, you probably would have done better if you had floated your Raxes to the other side of your base and started amassing Marines before pushing against his Cannons or floating everything out while sending your rines against his main (He did no move to block your way out of the ramp). Still, can't hate this because you got to make use a nuke.
This guy was pulling out all the cheap tactics. First he Photon Cannon rushes, then he does a GG but keeps going. I bet he kept joining 1v1 games as random until he got a Protoss too.
that protoss really sucked. Don't know why he even cannon rushed you in the first place as a terran. If he were smart he would have put up a proxy pylon in your base and 4 gated you for an easy win
@Arksimon2k wat was even more stupid was when he failed he kept going wit cannons.. he shouldve taken the economy advantage and go robotics with collosus. epic fail
u were very far behind and would of lost if they guy knew wut he was doing
but most cannon rushers dont know how to play so hence the reason they cannon rushing
the guy should of expanded atleast once after he took out ur base and threw down 4 gateways and just finished u off with a 4gate since u had nothing and once his expansion expansion kicked in he should of got 2 robo bays and got colossi
@sm1tty5569 Yeah I probably would have lost. I recently got rushed again because I was being lazy and although I took better measures against it he was able to warp in a tonne of stalkers and I still got slaughtered.
Rofl all you have to do is go to the completely walled of expansion, and since he went mass zealot (not really MASS, his macro sucked big time) you could have just went banshees. Tanks can also counter cannons. If the Protoss could actually macro, he would have won.
If you're getting cannoned just tech to nukes right? Dude you're terran. Just lift off and go to the high yield, build a bunker if u need to where he builds a pylon and snipe his probe with marines. =gg
Just demonstrates some protoss imbalance right there. Compare the effort it takes for a protoss player to do that crap and the amount of effort anyone needs to get out of that mess. Photon cannons should be made more expensive or have longer build times. Faced three guys from Silver League, all protoss, and all did this. So now I'm stuck in bronze. Maybe should just quit and come back when blizzard decided to fix this shit...
The worst thing that happen, is that usually people get desperate when they get cannon rushed and see the base sitiated. If you don't get that desperate you can easily turn off the game.
Personally I consider that a cheap, no skill trick. First few times I encountered this I had troubles and even stopped wasting my time and just left, but now it's stupidly easy to stop.
Start scouting right as you are putting up your racks and you'll see either the Forge and know it's coming... Then cheese his ass with a bunker spawn 3-4 marines and take out his eco line and gg.
Like I say, toss players will continue to prove they are the least skilled race with this shit ha.
@TruChampz44 Totally agree, problem I had was that straight after fending off the ones in my base, he had 6 cannons outside my base and once I got through those his DT's came. They should make it fair and let missile turrets shoot ground units lol.
dude photon cannon rushes are so gay if your zerg not only does it attack air and ground its cheaper than mutalisks and has the same summon time as roaches and does more damage than them and the only real counter is broodlords which teching for them is a bitch.
Cannon Rush doesn't really work well against Terran... any halfway decent player can easily counter it, and then you'll have blown a lot of resources for nothing.
Someone tried to hide a probe in my base but I killed it with all my probes. Then they cannon rushed in front of my ramp. I kept them out of my base but I was blocked in. So I thought if I can't walk out, then I'll have to fly out. So I built void rays asap, went searching for his base, and destroyed it. People call this cheese but it seems like playing dirty to me. It's very annoying. That was satisfying seeing you nuke his cannons. When I play Terran I'll try that.
@XanaduZune Yeah if you can take out the probe it removes the problem but I had trouble killing it with my marines because i noticed it so late. I tend now to always check for hidden probes on a map like that.
Its not really considered dirty play, just cheap. Using it doesn't make you a good player, since good players can usually counter it.
Cannon rushing is one of those all in tactics if you mess it up you are pretty much fucked. You're a good man for keeping you're cool you still played very well and didn't resort to yelling and bitching at your opponen,t where other probably would have lol even though cannon rushing is a dick move to newer players
I think he built the first few cannons too far away from your base so it didn't work, even though he had a bit of advantage later he didn't go for the charge upgrade for zealots otherwise he could do it.
Anyways great nuclear bomb rush. Never give up!! That's the spirit. And good gamesmanship shown by the opponent to not leave straight away and fight until the very last moment too.
I had this happen to me and my bro in 2V2, they killed my bro but he had a probe so he made a base and fed me mionerals, i won with 2 warpgates, 1 base and 2 starports. All i did was get voids (they out-range cannons) and stalkers (to kill his VR)
Even though he had 2 air armor/2 Shields/3weapons, i out microed him and killed all his units and buildings with no upgrades till the final push.
@xaznkillax Protoss are annoying when it comes to rushes, period. Zerg I can usually handle unless they're good with banelings. But zealot rushes can still catch me out.
cannoners, just never learn. Everytime i get cannoned, they dont put a cannon at my ramp, i zealot their original base, i rebuild elsewhere and finish them off with voids.
nubs just never learn that cannonspam fucks their build order up and a mobile army is infinitely better than any static defense and for that reason, building more than a couple of cannons in any game is too great an opportunity cost.
Haha, why would you ever try cannon rushing against a terran? You shoulda have lifted up your base first thing when you saw him cannon rushing though.
@Kakashi44445 In hindsight yeah :P - Problem is I've tried that before, and he simply abandoned the cannon rush and rushed zealots instead, then I was fucked.
But I should have done more to save my structures.
what a bad toss player. I stopped cannon rushing when beta ended. Im gold 1v1 and 2v2. The fact that he only made Zealots after cannon rushing made me laugh. With such an econ advantage I would of gotten Void Rays and Colossus by then lol.
@Kallosar Yeah he was stupid to keep making cannons after i had relocated. He did eventualyl try and get void rays but it was very near the end, it made no difference whatsoever.
Determination can go a long ways. If for no other reason, I give you props for uploading this. I won't comment on the skill level (since you asked kindly :D ) however I wouldn't be surprised if you've moved up a league since this was uploaded. :3
I suspect his GG was a ploy to try and make you quit. Just guessing.
Yeah nice D on the cannon, I vsed your opp, he did the same to me however next time u don't lose marines or whatever, USE REAPERS. Reapers pwn pylons quickly. Also make sure they are on hold position.
@FiveDkp Thanks i'll keep that in mind :) Don't think I would have thought of that amidst the panic but i've heard that works and can really cause damage to his base, since he left it virtually undefended for 10 minutes.
Hold position, again didn't think of it during the chaos XD When i watch it back I wish I had.
Sent reapers took out his resource Line, i had to work with half a resource line while i used marines and maruaders to prevent his cannons from getting my last refinery. Killed his forge, i kept pumping out reapers with 2 rax/tech lab. Kept aiming for pylons, Pushed him back.
With his resource line and cannon rush failing he rage quitted.
Sorry, I didn't have any panels up but his resources were in the top corner for most of the replay, I lost track of how much he must have had towards the end.

after 2-3 cannons to contain when terran relocated, he should have gotten the cyber core + 1-2 gateways. Probably a robo bay if he still couldn't win.
Cannon rush is bad vs terran because they can lift off and can also get siege tanks with siege mode.
Fail protoss, had the game in the bag and blew it. Nice job by the terran to get a nuke though

I think he built the first few cannons too far away from your base so it didn't work, even though he had a bit of advantage later he didn't go for the charge upgrade for zealots otherwise he could do it.
Anyways great nuclear bomb rush. Never give up!! That's the spirit. And good gamesmanship shown by the opponent to not leave straight away and fight until the very last moment too.

I had this happen to me and my bro in 2V2, they killed my bro but he had a probe so he made a base and fed me mionerals, i won with 2 warpgates, 1 base and 2 starports. All i did was get voids (they out-range cannons) and stalkers (to kill his VR)
Even though he had 2 air armor/2 Shields/3weapons, i out microed him and killed all his units and buildings with no upgrades till the final push.

you know, a cannon rush is really annoying and even more so now in SC2, since they introduced warp gate tech =p

@xaznkillax Protoss are annoying when it comes to rushes, period. Zerg I can usually handle unless they're good with banelings. But zealot rushes can still catch me out.

cannoners, just never learn. Everytime i get cannoned, they dont put a cannon at my ramp, i zealot their original base, i rebuild elsewhere and finish them off with voids.
nubs just never learn that cannonspam fucks their build order up and a mobile army is infinitely better than any static defense and for that reason, building more than a couple of cannons in any game is too great an opportunity cost.

Haha, why would you ever try cannon rushing against a terran? You shoulda have lifted up your base first thing when you saw him cannon rushing though.
Kakashi44445 1 year ago
@Kakashi44445 In hindsight yeah :P - Problem is I've tried that before, and he simply abandoned the cannon rush and rushed zealots instead, then I was fucked.
But I should have done more to save my structures.
Arksimon2k 1 year ago
what a bad toss player. I stopped cannon rushing when beta ended. Im gold 1v1 and 2v2. The fact that he only made Zealots after cannon rushing made me laugh. With such an econ advantage I would of gotten Void Rays and Colossus by then lol.
Kallosar 1 year ago
@Kallosar Yeah he was stupid to keep making cannons after i had relocated. He did eventualyl try and get void rays but it was very near the end, it made no difference whatsoever.
Arksimon2k 1 year ago
The Terran could've just lifted of the units and gone to another base.... or just countered the Protoss by killing his base...

@Rawnesss Actually if i had made some Reapers I could have done just that but I was far too much in a panic to save my own base :P maybe next time.
Arksimon2k 1 year ago
@Rawnesss Yea I think he would need the reapers. Based on the minimap the protoss looked like he walled off + put cannons at his base

Determination can go a long ways. If for no other reason, I give you props for uploading this. I won't comment on the skill level (since you asked kindly :D ) however I wouldn't be surprised if you've moved up a league since this was uploaded. :3
I suspect his GG was a ploy to try and make you quit. Just guessing.

@Azureshock Well this was back in beta, I think I was bronze? I'm in gold now.
And i'm much more resilient against these kind of rushes, I can see them coming a lot better.
Arksimon2k 1 year ago
Cannon rush was bad enough, the GG'ing and not quitting? wtf
madchef 1 year ago
@madchef Yeah I don't like that, but I can deal with it I guess.
What I dislike more is people saying 'gg' when they know they've won, instead of letting me surrender on my own.

You beat his whole army with an MM Ball LOL.
Yeah nice D on the cannon, I vsed your opp, he did the same to me however next time u don't lose marines or whatever, USE REAPERS. Reapers pwn pylons quickly. Also make sure they are on hold position.
FiveDkp 1 year ago
@FiveDkp Thanks i'll keep that in mind :) Don't think I would have thought of that amidst the panic but i've heard that works and can really cause damage to his base, since he left it virtually undefended for 10 minutes.
Hold position, again didn't think of it during the chaos XD When i watch it back I wish I had.
Did you beat him? :D
Arksimon2k 1 year ago
Sent reapers took out his resource Line, i had to work with half a resource line while i used marines and maruaders to prevent his cannons from getting my last refinery. Killed his forge, i kept pumping out reapers with 2 rax/tech lab. Kept aiming for pylons, Pushed him back.
With his resource line and cannon rush failing he rage quitted.

The best part of facing a cannon rush is seeing them scramble when it fails. Thanks for posting the video.

that protoss player was so ridiculously stupid for continuing to make cannons, he also must have had thousands of resources in the bank
ImEatingYou 1 year ago 15
@ImEatingYou I thought so too.
Sorry, I didn't have any panels up but his resources were in the top corner for most of the replay, I lost track of how much he must have had towards the end.
Arksimon2k 1 year ago
@ImEatingYou yeah, if he had created tons of Zealots, the terran player would be dead.
