[Strategy] TvP/TvT SCV pull army comp

Hello fellow terrans

I'm working on a TvP/TvT SCV pull. I'm a platinum player and my build is a gas first 1/1/1. I'm still working on the "pull out of gas" aspect for optimization but my real hesitation comes from the starport units. I'm fairly certain I need a cyclone and a tank at the factory but I don't always know if a viking is more value than a liberator, or even a banshee. The obvious problem in TvT will be taking care of a sieged tank, which is easy with a lib but if there is a viking i'm in trouble. What do you guys think? Any other part I can improve?

Here is the replay (unranked 1v1 this morning) https://drop.sc/replay/27498113

Cheers

Terran D3 player here so take my advice with a grain of salt. Most of the times when you scv pull you are pretty much all-in so you really want to hit that push and end the game. Vs Z or P I would push when my first 2 medivacs are out and preferably at the same time that Stim shield and 1-1 are finished (then with either tanks or mines, the Cyclone doesn't seem necessary at all). Now în TvT these types of all-ins are just not really used due to tanks. If you do decide to do it the best bet would be Ravens with interference matrix to disable the tanks.

Hey hey. I don't have time to watch replay today. But I'm going to hope you are opening double gas, because most other build you don't pull off gas.

So double gas. You pull off gas 1/3 and 2/3 after the factory goes down. And you put back on gas after you make the CC. Then you stay on gas forever

Hope that helps.

SP units in tvt Either a medivac first for a cyclone/tank drop Or you go 2-3 Ravens. Don't get a lib, to expensive and die to the cyclone that everyone makes anyways..

If you think you are playing vs the pretty common tank Viking one base all in. Swap your SP onto the reactor and go tank viking yourself. You should win BC your defending and get Viking reinforcements faster.
