A 6 ling rush arrives at the time u have 1 marine and no bunker.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

i am sorry to say but that is incorrect.

 

[AKA-47]

No it isn't. Im talking about 6-pool rushes, the type of rushes they actually had to make a patch to fix because they were too fast...

 

[SmashBros.Pro]

Actually it is wrong, and I have the replay to prove it. I actually played with one of my friends and we made it to were all we could use is Marines and Lings, Bunks and Sunks. If you think we played slow your wrong about that too. He got 9 Drones and I got 10 SCV's and I started the Barracks a lil before he started Pool. His pool finihed 1st and he started making Lings, by time he got to my base I had a Bunker and I just started loading Marines.
If you want the replay PM me and I'll Email it to you.

 

[AKA-47]

Well if he did it right he would make a pool on 6 supply, not 9.

Couldn't the Zerglings quickly get through an SCV?

 

[AKA-47]

U place 2-3 SCVs on the ramp to ur base (im using LT as an example, on some maps it may be more difficult) so that zerglings cant get through. Then u place 1 or 2 marines behind the SCVs. If the enemy attack moves his zerglings, they will try to attack the marine(s) because of bad AI.

 

[Raccoon]

Alirght.. I will presume you understood me correctly...

 

[lordson]

scv take ages to repair

youre better off use it to attack the zergling

 

[Raccoon]

Unless you have several of them, but that is out of the question.

 

[lordson]

yeah, waste of scv
i rthink 1 for each bunker shoudl be okay to fend off a rush

do any of you put firebats or ghosts in the bunkers?

ghosts work wel in them

firebats are pointles, the aim is to kill them b4 they get clsoe to your bunkers

It takes 2 minutes to get 6 lings, i timed it.

so, i can get a bunker, and 2 marines in that time, not counting the travel time of the lings.

6 Lings won't require loads of SCV's on a Bunker and If you have 400 Medics healing 1 Marine, the Lings will go for the Marine instead of the Medics.. I really wish Blizzard would make a patch for that, but I doubht they will now that all the other games are coming out.
And as for the Ling and Bunk arguement, pan just pointed out 1 of the things most people overlook, the travel time and most of the time if your playing on a big enough map, you wouldn't be able to scout the enemy before you got 6 Lings.

pan_the_man, are u stupid? It takes exactly 80 seconds to make a barracks, then it takes 30 seconds to get a bunker, and u have to make SCVs for 50-60 seconds before that! The enemy will have lings by the time have a rax, and then u will barely have enough time to make a marine before the lings arrive!

And are u going to waste 100 minerals on a bunker just to counter a ling rush? It is much easier to use 2 SCVs.

 

[AKA-47]

And SmashBros.Pro, i will give u 100$ if u can get an accademy before i get 6 lings.

 

[Renzokuken]

I dont think anyone can accomplish that

 

[Raccoon]

It would be impossible.. unless some variables like the players were way out of whack..

 

[Renzokuken]

If it was a 256x256 map you could! Travel time & finding you time!

When my opponent rush me with the original 6 zerglings rush, I lift up my command center, wouldn't you? If you know your opponent is gonna rush you with 6 zerglings, why don't you defend with your scv's and with one marine behind it?
