I never seem to have any success with cloaked banshees in any matchup but I like making one w/out cloak for early harass and to make my opponent dump money on detectors and anti-air in his mineral line.
But in TvT most opponents go for mass vikings and that plus scan just crushes the banshees extra hard, amirite?
Gretorp loves using Ghosts so he basically goes 1rax with techlab then like 4-5 naked rax and just pumps marine/ghost. Research combat shields as gas allows, and expand when minerals allow. Push after combat shields are done. This strategy is specific to TvP (relies heavily on good EMP placement).
Also yeah Banshees are a really steep investment and your standard TvT build incorporates vikings so IMO it's a pretty big waste to go for them.
