This is really odd. I was wondering what was up, since the only people that ever punished it at DEV were lolo and Omega, and they didn't (or couldn't) punish it all that hard - lolo used Yoshi's 6K, and Omega used Zas's bK or BB4. Honestly, I just thought that people were trying to do either SC damage or set up mix-ups or something. Even weirder is that I never got TAS B'd for it against any Sophie users, and I played all of them that were at DEV...I think Vincent may have AS B'd me once, though.
So not only did I take Signia's money partly because of a gimmick, but if I had gotten into the right pools I could have potentially made at least Top 8 at DEV solely on the manliest gimmick in the game!
Probably not...
This is a good topic, though, and while at this point, it's a bit too late to let people know about gimmicks in SCIV, I know for a fact that one of the topics that most SCV Soul Arenas will have is going to be "_____'s Gimmicks (and how to beat them)".

Wait, 1b for who now?
Also Brian, I know what "STSFN" stands for in that first photo, but I don't think you mentioned it in the article. For those of you that aren't all old and shit like me, it means "Save that shit/stuff for Nationals." As in finding a trick, and holding into it until the big tournies. That was born out of the old arcade culture though, and things have changed. Much easier to share info now, and we should be taking advantage of it.
Think of it this way, anything you find and hold onto as a secret strategy is GOING to be seen eventually, otherwise it's no good to you. And when we see it, we're GOING to break it down one way or another. So in the end, harboring that old school STSFN mentality is just gonna make you look like a real douche. And in the long run we're still gonna beat whatever gimmick you hid from us anyway.

Glad to see people getting enlightened. ;) While it may have some short-term cost to it, I stand by my assertion that training yourself not to rely on ignorance ultimately makes you better.
On a selfish note, too, I want people to have a better working knowledge of the game just so I don't have to hear people talking about how Nightmare or Maxi aren't trash...ah, a boy can dream.
