I think the biggest issue in the @moleculeman88 battles is that on this map that one mex will get you to 12-13 m/s (the wonders of overdrive on very high metal spots, though in this particular battle he screwed up and energy stalled) while the other mex spots only get you 1.59m/s each. This is actually the very rare situation where another solar plant is more cost effective than another mex!

Most people playing here don't realize quite how big the difference is and do a normal expansion rather than going for that big mex like their life depended on it.

Those other spread out mex spots are easy targets for Kodachi, while @moleculeman88 can just huddle next to the only valuable thing he has, rebuilding it as needed. This saves a ton of metal and APM as you can spend all your efforts on moving your 1/12th of a kodachi per second to maximize damage.

(on looking at more replays it occurs to me that @moleculeman88 actually plays his strategy pretty badly. Generally making only a single solar rather than 4 (getting energy stalled and not exploiting overdrive) and not making a Lotus to prevent people destroying his stuff by microing away from his com)
