I don't know if this entry has been refused, but i came up with this set:

Scizor@Focus Sash
252 at 252 spe 4 HP

-Swords Dance
-Bullet punch
-Reversal
-X-Scissor/Pursuit

So far, it is working wonders. Weaknesses, at least the most notable, are Weavile, Infernape with priorities, Gyarados and Machamp.

I usually use this scizor as a Lead with the purpose of luring Fire attacks. Depending on the situation, i can set up 1 or 2 Swords dances. In very rare cases 3. A fire attack will bring Scizor to his sash, allowing for a reversal to O-KO everything that doesn't outspeed him or isn't resistant. Bullet Punch is here because it's awesome as always and X-Scissor/Pursuit for Psychic and Dark type coverage. X-Scissor tends to do better if you use this Scizor as a lead, while Pursuit is good to KO some limgering Pokemon.
 
Reversal has been suggested before, and it's still not a good option.

If this isn't being used as a lead, then it's a midgame sasher, which is an automatic rejection. It's too slow to function effectively, and at low enough HP to use Reversal it gets eaten by priority. It's not a great lead either, because while it does have that whole "sashed sd user" thing (which isn't a good idea anyway), it still has the issue of "break sash, go to rotom / skarmory / heatran / insert top 10 pokemon that this loses horribly to here".

QC REJECTED (1/3)
 
Apart from what my colleagues have exposed, we have dealt with Reversal Scizor in QC before, and it was rejected. You can check the Locked & Outdated sub-forum (located here in C&C) for more information if you want. Locking.
