TvZ Viking Tech Starcraft 2 beta fpvod

Hey guys, this is my version of mech/bio build against a zerg. It is an adaptation of the wraith harass in SC1 but in SC2, vikings are way more effective in harassing. I call it mech/bio because the primary build is mech, and then some marines to help deliver more damage.

I am playing this against an insane AI hence the zerg timing maybe inaccurate. Although its insane but the intelligence part is still lacking in the AI.

Nevertheless, the main goal is to show the build order, getting 2 vikings out at 4:24 - 4:28 mark. Once again, I appreciate if you guys can test out this build against human players and provide me some feedback. Otherwise, just enjoy the video.

Pros:
Excellent harass early game.
Reasonably well defended with wall and marines
Good against zerg that goes for early expand/12-13pool/roaches

Cons:
Late expand, behind in economy if harass fails.
Hard to defend if zerg decides to go mass roaches from the start and break the wall.

yea. this music is hilarious. can you provide artist and track?

[MrLibr0]

@17teacmrocks it's a custom remix by a DJ friend of mine.

you could stand to harass the dons more often.

and i wonder why he kept pulling his units back instead of keeping the lings under your vikings.

[MrLibr0]

@MecMachinic it's AI. They're stupid. but the point of the video is to show the build.

I wish Wraiths were available in the Multiplayer. They're so damned good. Identical ATA to Vikings except better vs armored, and as fast as mutalisks, plus cloak? Holy shinto.

[Wiipee]

@xtracrispy628

Uh yes they do.

I would suggest the following: get the 1st refinery before the rax so you can throw down the factory right after the rax (that would be at least 30 seconds faster) I do not know if you even need the 2nd refinery cause vikings are dirt cheap on gas. In your example you have 200 gas after starting the vikings that should be 0 in a perfect outcome ^^ just my thoughts on it

can you post a video of the song? or a download link? or SOMETHING? i must have it!!!!

[darthvader1221]

one base play i could see this getting ran over and if the zerg expanded just tank drop on lost temple at least thor on the other maps
