Everyone has their own way of playing, but some players have developed manners that have almost became their trademarks. In this post I will write about those or just generally what some players often like to do. Most of these are typically seen on P4-Rashowdown but some can be used in various different maps. I might update this list when recalling more.
Nastynate: 3 tanks truck jew. This guys's tool pack is full up, but he is often doing this. You have to be top of the situation to not lose your truck to his hungry early tanks. On V3-Ribbon his early transporter+engs is also an epic way to finish the game early.
Muad`Dib: Pushing south. Muad likes to have the south advantage, his tanks and men are common sight pushing slowly in the south. Later in game you will see that his teslas joining in as well. Works well if solid partner who can protect north.
Soleman: Jew+cy+tanks. Sole been doing this since I started, strong strategy vs. anyone. After you kill his jew and counter be ready to face the teslas. This strategy is copied by many but mastered by few.
Col0: Chinhook. Chinhooks are used a lot especially if game lasts more than ~15 mins, however Col0's chinhooks are sneakier than avg and he is sharp at defending against them also. He once Iron curtained ref vs my engs and other time engs died on his mines which were next to building :D.
Breakdown: Early planes. What can I say, he likes migs, sometimes they work.
Cody: Apcs. Cody keeping the old apc+engs trick alive. Sometimes he does it with tanya. Apc+engs can work if opponent isn't paying attention, apc+tanya is more of a strategy to beat nubenators :D.
Katsh/Ninja: Mcv+minelayer and Super Tesla. Yeah, many like to use formation trick, however Katsh done it the longest and is still doing it almost in every game. I seen Katsh speeding up 15 mcvs and trying to drive right into base. He also the most active player making teslas with men inside them. True fan of the glitches.
Turret-TA: Light tank+men formation jew. Now various players use this but Turret is the one who really brought it to cnc5. Danco_Cro and lately also Otto like to do same with bazookas+mine layer.
KingHood: Tesla(s) with one cy. Generally a really bad idea, but can work as scare tactics or/and against sloppy early jew.
Ehy: Engs behind buildings. Breakdown also likes to do this but lately mostly seen ehy performing this classic old trick. It can be good when defending a jew and being able to repair buildings without engs running madly all over the place and getting squished. However if you don't get jewed you kinda wish you had :D
ANT|MAN|: Early running with powers, barracks and flamers. A Solid strategy to beat cyers who have no units yet, but if both of opponents are tanking you find yourself in trouble!
Ifuccuup: Naiders. He likes naiders, been naidering since he was a nubenator on GameSpy. Used to rape my even more nubier ass with them. Naiders are often used vs. newbs just to show how fast they can be defeated, but it's also a solid strategy on 2v2s.
Others worth of mentioning are: Cousintank, Jayman-TA, Dizzy and from new school players I don't think I have seen others than Otto, Mafia, d0pekills, the-1 and maybe some (ex?)cousin doing this a lot. SN-kgb also sometimes likes to use grenades. Let me know if I forgot to mention someone who doing this a lot.
Me: I don't really have a trademark move, If you don't count the old good ownage (xD). I didn't used to use chinhooks a lot but nowadays I enjoy doing it too much and I learned some new tricks to make them extra powerful. I do super teslas once in a while and I think Muad's south push is at least partly inspired from me :D. I also like to do cy+tanking fusion bulids.
However If I had to pick one out of all I think my trademark would just be Q'ing.
Let me know if you have someone to add to the list.
