what do you think is the best terran rush?

[betaalpha5]

M&M and maybe some bats to go with it

[Chris]

Golaiths, but then they do 1/4 on mutas.
Air-wise, mass BCS or even wraiths/valkries

But always have science vessels handy for these rushes.

[Ubuu]

M&M is the fastest and most efficient rush for terran.

[Chris]

Ever heard of nuke rushing? You get like 6 ghosts and you nuke various spots i the enemy base and then BOOM. You wipe out many structures and units in the fray. But 3-12 sets of M&Ms do the trick.

nuke stars rock you take five ghosts move them into a pentagon and bomb the center

[Chris]

That's suicide! You nuke from far away if you are planning on doing that, or you'll take some telephatic good men with it.

[betaalpha5]

or make 8 rines with 4 medics. have a few groups and they would be strong just upgrade the armor a bit nad it sould be cool a few bts won't hurt thou

[tiggy mofo]

the only way the nuke strategy would work is if u wer against terran and they wer a newb cuz protoss would make photon cannons and zerg have overlords and sunkens.

Nukes are too much of a gamble. Anyone who doesn't have enough detection by then, deserves to have a nuke dropped in their base. Question: Who goes ghosts against the zerg, anyway?

[Chris]

For the first time, I will have to agree with you. Ghosts do not do much to the zerg since only drones, mutas, and lings can get full dmg of them. The rest do 1/2 - 1/4, no point in doing 3-4 dmg to a 400 hp ultralisk, unless your a n00b and you want to do that. Besides, if you try to nuke with a ghost and no backup, it will get killed when seen by the many overlords the fly around (unless you find a weakspot where there is nothing.).

[Phoenix2003]

I wish I could agree with you on anything.

[Chris]

Np, I shouldn't worry about the smallest things. Besides, who'd send ghosts on protoss exactly?

[betaalpha5]

many plp for lockdown

[Chris]

They will be a hassle to command, only reason to use one is to nuke. But I usually never nuke, I go for rushy type attack forces.
Its better to command the guys to attack then to just let them sit there and use 100 energy to immobilize a mech unit.

first of all the only map i ever play with now is fastest possible cuz they are long games.... the best rush that ive seen is a isht loads of wraiths.... and battle and a few sci. vessles (against the protoss):lucifer :lucifer

[forgotmypasswd]

anything after simple mech units in my oppinion should be considered an attack, I thought "rushing" was to attack early. You cant rush with bc's or nukes.

[tiggy mofo]

my favorite rush against terran and zerg is marines and siege tanks. with 6 barracks and 1 factory. If they defend u can go defensive while u make either mass air or goliaths with siege tanks

Nukes against toss? You'll never pull that off against a competent toss player. Stop playing newbies.

Nuke rushes are risky. if you decide to do a nuke rush, your base will be open to all attacks because you've spent all your minerals to tech up to nukes.

M&M's are the most common rush for terran. try the triple factory rush/Vulture/siege rush
