ACU Rush vs Land Rush with ACU

I wish people would stop confusing the two, or do you think they are one and the same?

If so, clearly your opponent does not know the game very well. ACU rush involves spending your starting resources on RS. Land rush involves spending them on land.|||It can be hard to distinguish sometimes.
You can attack with ACU only and upgrade ACU only... you can attack with ACU and tanks and upgrade ACU only (very strong Aeon strat) or attack with ACU and tanks and upgrade tanks only (generic UEF strat). Of course, you can replace any number of factories/tanks with RS.... all the way from none of them to all of them.|||dawumyster|||An ACU rush is when your army is your ACU. Basically the threshold is 3RS. If you make 3RS or more at the start of a game and putting your points into your ACU while using your ACU to keep your opponent at bay then you are BEING A VERY NAUGHTY PERSON. *cough* you are ACU rushing*cough*.|||So a 3 fac tank-spam build by Aeon where he spends the first 6 RP on damage + range upgrade is an ACU rush?|||FunkOff|||spuddyt|||spuddyt|||Attacking with tanks and *not* your ACU is a terrible idea for the same reason that attacking with only half your tanks is a terrible idea.|||The casual community makes us sad. *sigh*|||What about an initial ACU rush which turns into a proxy base build? Whats that classified as? If my opponent allows me to do this, I will build a land factory close to his base and pump out units and PDs until either I lose the proxy or I win.
There are all types of this strat in the StarCraft2 community right now. To be honest, I endorse it in both games. It keeps people honest with early scouting and counters tech rushers nicely.|||ACU rush is simply the worst thing to do ever in this game. I really regret that ACU rush wasn't even made flat-out impossible directly (like locking ACU tree for a few minutes) after it's initial discovery. Whilst people might say it removes "diversity", it really drove off a lot of people from the game, because it was so easy to execute and so hard to deal with.|||Cygnaus|||Cygnaus|||Cygnaus|||-The-Baron-
