    I would say mass stalker. Probably the best thing to counter them early game. If you can afford to add in some sentries for guardian shield, you should be able to hold them off.

    if you can't get out enough stalkers in time use your sentry to ff :)
    No tier 1 -2 unit can break through it

    I doubt either of you know what he's referring to to be honest. You can't get out any sentries or mass stalkers by the time the roaches knock on your door.

    The only solution to this is to boost your stalkers out and seal yourself in with buildings.

    Eeeh , if you make 1 zealot and then a sentry, you are in time to forcefield your ramp. After that, you get a Stalker, and kill them :)
