Side kick. I do not consider sugar rushes as much of a weapon as a state of being.

Hmm... A buttstomp is good, and does as much damage as a powered weapon, but it takes a while to use. On the other hand, it can be quite useful, as it lets you bounce off enemies and other players to reach high-up places. An uppercut is usually considered useless, but if it's used just right (like while ducking in a hole and someone's about to stomp you) it can be a nasty suprise. If a level had lots of one tile holes in the ground (castle roofs, anyone?) and maybe no-fire zones, I'd definately want to play as Jazz. A sidekick is incredibly useful, but hard to control. In single player, this is practically unstoppable. However in multiplayer, unless you're suprising your enemy or have some ice handy, you'll probably get shot while kicking. Lori's karate thing is about the same, but doesn't go as far and is a bit wider. I can think of some instances where this would be preferable... but not many. A turtle shell is also useful, but doesn't do much damage and is rare in multiplayer games. Since they can only move down and straight, I see them as an extra 100 points in single player and something to distract the enemy in multiplayer. A bird... these are alright, as they essentially give you an extra health point (four HP can be a lifesaver in CTF, as I'm pretty sure it absorbs all the damage from a powered weapon, making it five) and are alright weapons in singleplayer. In multiplayer you need a(n?) MCE orb to get them to attack players, and those orbs are even rarer than birds and tend to get "lost" during teleports. I'm not sure how a chuck bird would work in multi, but in MP a bird's best use is one or two extra HP (though don't you feel bad using the poor creature as a shield?). These seem to have been degraded to pets on hotel levels.

Overall, I'd have to say buttstomp. Though it is slow to load and sometimes easy to uppercut, it does two damage and can help you get around, not to mention it's available to all the characters (except frog and bird, of course).

One of my moves (not mentioned) was when i shot a player (by a wall) crept under him and did an uppercut I called it the super or ultra Uppercut (of doom )

Other than that mine is Buttstomp, it goes with any character.

I'd say sidekick. It's handy in a whole line of campers, and it's pretty easy, as all weapon moves actually are.

Ooh, we forgot RF kicking! Sidekick loses it's weakness when you're moving twice as fast with a missle above you.

Wait, if you keep holding the keys for Lori's move, it will go farther than the sidekick.

Buttstomp
When in doubt, buttstomp. I love this. In Single Player while youre in the air buttstomping you are invincible for a second or two. Though its not much, it can save your life in some situations. Though when you buttstomp you cant move side to side (you can but really slow) so if you're buttstomping towards a pit of spikes with a ledge nearby, you probably wont reach it. But everyone can use the buttstomping technique, and its an all around good unconventional weapon. Though its not as useful in mulitplayer (but can produce some nice kills).
Sidekick
I like it better in MP, since its more useful then. In my opinion a sidekick is more useful then an uppercut, but only spaz can do it, so if you're jazz too bad for you.
Uppercut
I rarely use it, except in SP. In mulitplayer you will RARELY kill someone with an uppercut. You have a better chance killing someone with an unpowered, unfast fired blaster than an uppercut. In single player though, its useful for taking out those Raven enemies when they're flying overhead.
Turtle Shell
I like it in SP, since it can help you out from a tight situation. But in MP its basically useless, since you dont see many turtle shells in CTF or battle. Its good in SP, if you find a turtle at least, and can give you 100 extra points as Rad said, but its definately not my favorite.
Lori sidekick move thing
I barely ever played with lori since my TSF is shareware (>(((() but her sidekick like move is ok in Single Player. Never played with her online, though.
Birds
I like these things, sometimes they get annoying though, and shoot down ammo and stuff and make layer 3 look bad, but I like how they are drawn and their style. Never used them in multiplayer, though.

I'd say either buttstomping or Chuck the bird. Though buttstomping is a bit more useful and can help you, I like the bird more since it looks cool and follows you around like a loyal troop or something.
So in Strenght, I'd say buttstomp, but my favorite is the bird, no matter how weaker it is then the buttstomp.

Edit: Forgot about the blue and yellow bird: Its also pretty handy but I find it slightly less handy than the green one,since sometimes it slacks off and leaves enemies behind that hurt me >(

Sometimes the blue bird is more useful, but I like the green one more.

OK. IN SP is my favoritest weapon from all buttstomp. All bosses I killing with buttstomp, and some I can kill with 4 sidekicks. lol
In MP I using sidekick, certainly. Sugar rush is too dangerous thing, so sidekick wins.
---
I play SP often, and in MP I don't using special moves often. So, my favoritest 'unconventional' weapon is buttstomp.

And Chuck is for ***

Buttstomp. Just because you are invulnerable to fire and seekers while setting up.

I always buttstomp instead of falling. It's a little slower, but certainly safer and more fun. *remembers the time he accidently stomped on Xion (who had saved 400something coins in a hotel)*

Seekers? Unconventional? How many n00bs have you not seen rampaging with a cloud of seeker missles in front of them?
