Ruined despite being a Protoss player I'm actually a huge fan of Mech in TvP (I originally played Terran during beta trying to mech everything but I couldn't get it to work because I'm a bad...) - I saw a bit of the playstyle and it seems similar but different to the way LastShadow has been doing mech TvP, he'll normally aim to get a good amount of thors out before the BC switch, any thoughts on that? From a replay I have from one of your games you didn't bother with them.
Speaking of which, I'll be doing a cast of one of your games, and if you have any other long-term TvP mech games that you think are worth casting please let me know, I rarely ever get to cast it!
I am going to put a replay pack together of all my mech games in the future, probably get around to it tomorrow and I can submit it on the site.
And to duckville, lastshadow's style is much more aimed at doing a timing attack, whereas the way I play is to try play long macro games. Thors are pretty good, but it gets to a point where toss can overrun them fairly easily. Its all up to preference - personally I believe players like Jinro play mech wrong - often times he is very aggressive and it is this aggression which ends up being his downfall.

But yeah I'll submit some replays tomorrow.
Yeah fair enough. I sometimes use his style when I want to attempt some Terran, got me a couple of wins in lower leagues hehe.
Thanks for sharing, I'll probably cast one or two later once you have some reps up.
