The colossal pimp slap can be a game-winning move. The sweep attack, on the other hand, is nigh useless.
I've only been playing with him for a couple of weeks but I always forget to use Caine3's Blast ammo type. I'll shoot up some infantry, not AOE them, and then after the fact slap my head for losing out on the opportunity.

Infinitely better than no blast at all.

The sweep attack, on the other hand, is nigh useless. Definitely, losing 3 attacks (2 initials + 1 bought from focus) means you really need to be in an optimal position, to make it really worth it. That means 4+ infantry in a single arc, which doesn't happen very often.

Arc Nodes [Mic Drop] (FYI: I'm a Khador player and I don't have a zerkova or OW yet)
in seriousness though I love to play with burning terrain. I play AK's. Sit a unit in there and they are really hard to shift.

These are all really good. No Burning Earth/Dense Fog at our venue [I personally made a bunch of acid pools). Jack Marshals? Only Cygnar Gun Mage CA, so far. Falling damage? I remember one scenario in 10 years. And a strange one, I don't remember any games I've personally been in involved in, in which a Colossal or Garantuan ever did the Power Attack:Power Strike. Is that a common experience? Oh yeah, they have that. I think that a lot of the power attacks just aren't used. I use the most around here, and it's mostly headbuts or tramples. The rest just don't seem very focus efficient.

after attack movement abilities like swift hunter or sprint...I always forget to use those. Reposition too.

In a CID game Caine scattered 3 AoE shots into a bunch of Hollowmen who had stealth from Shroud Arcana and killed 6 of them. It was glorious.

I've seen power strike used before a couple times. But they've only been game ending situations where the power striking player needed to remove a full health heavy with an armor buff from a spell or feat from a zone, and figured it'd just be more reliable to go for the power strike.
But the one rule I always forget is Spirit Bond (or whatever its called when you can leach a single fury from a beast that's already dead). You're probably camping pretty high if your beasts are all dead in the late game anyway.

Spirit Bond. Like it's a 70/30 chance that I just forget that yes hordes got something too in counterpart to power up
edit: also assault shots missing have to re target since you're in melee. That one is always forgotten.

That one is always forgotten. Oh, I forgot about missed assault shots too. Oops. In general I always forget the rules of retargeting since somehow I remember it as the guy you are shooting, what he's engaging, and what those guys are engaging and it'll get to silly high numbers of possible targets. No clue what the rules for it are anymore
