Goku, I hope you were being sarcastic.... don't listen to some of these douchebags. You were just trying to be helpful. I own Gecko and think it's a great gimmick, definitely not a garbage gimmick. You've probably done a lot of research on the gimmick and found that there is a lot of good things to say about the Gecko. These other people don't own it either, they just read from certain people that it wasn't a good gimmick. So how would they know it's garbage? HERESAY. Some people expect their gimmick to do all of the work for them, and if there are ANY drawback, they toss it out the window. Yes, the Gecko makes noise, and yes it does require a reset, but used in the right environment, and in a creative way (other than simply a vanish) it can have a powerful impact on people.
I have no problem with people trying to be helpful but no matter how much research you do on a product you don't know how it feels until you have used it personally. Recommending something you have never used and just from trailers is not something that is beneficial. I actually wrote a review on E awhile ago and I am highly against for several reasons, mainly the trailer which really hides all the angles.
The noise could be hidden by the club noise I agree, however it seems the environment he is in wouldn't allow for something like this. I hate the gecko very much, it is a badly made gimmick for that amount of money. I know of people who have improved on the geckos design and makes literally no noise for about 15 dollars cost.
You assume way to much throughout your entire post so please keep them to yourself. Assumptions is how you are made to look like a fool, I have gimmicks that I use very well and do not expect them to do all the work. Hell I used third degree burn when branded came out and I still prefer TDB. So again, please do not assume such things about people when they are giving their actual opinions about things they own and have used for a good amount of time.
At visualartist- I completely forgot about the paper routine, I only used the money to money when I used the gimmick. Extreme Burn is much better than prophet in several different ways, that makes it look much more direct and visual.
At RDChopper- Symphony is highly angle sensitive if you do not know, the only effects that aren't and would be useful is .44 and Timeline 2.0. Everything else is all about angles so I would pass on it.
