What happens when you do the kick taunt while in the negative zone?

[ummyyeeaahh]

uhh.....yeah.

[Bishop_S]

I look forward to finding out when I get this game.

[Magnacor]

I heard it's a 1-hit KO, but i have yet to see video proof.

[Bishop_S]

Now that I think about it, Luigi's taunt does 2% damage and knocks the opponent sort of high in the air... (But never enough for the KO nomater what the damage %)

If I remember correctly, being in the negative zone increases the distance you're thrown back when you get hit, so if I'm right about that, it's likely to believe doing the taunt in the negative zone will KO your opponent.

[Bishop_S]

Woo.... my first Double Post.

[Folt]

We should still test it to be sure.

[YoshiAngemon]

Try it when they're hanging on the edge. You'll probably want to use either "THIS IS SPARTAAA!!!" As your taunt message for it, OR "That's Mama Luigi to you!"

[- Prisma -]

Wow.
That Taunt kicks pretty high.
Sad that it dosen't hit farther.

The thing is, it has way more knockback than it appears. His taunt hits people downward into the stage, so they don't go very high cause they are actually bouncing against the stage and being hit upwards.

[Luigi player]

Well, but doesn't it has always the same knockback? I think his upB get's the job done better.

[Magnacor]

Yes, but it would be much more fun to say, "I KOed him with my taunt."

[0RLy]

Actually, it would be much more fun to say, "TAUNT KILL! Go make me a sammich!"

[MSVZNF]

the video shows luigi not in his final smash though. I bet you would be sent higher if it was done in the negative zone due to its weird effects

[hisshouburaiken]

Just tried it.

The NZ's negative effects (low grav/increased knockback) CAN send the opponent up higher, but a KO isn't guaranteed.

I tried it on Final Destination against Ganondorf and Kirby - Dorf went offscreen, Kirby bit the dust, so weight plays a factor. If you catch a light character in the Zone on a high platform, a taunt kill is very possible :D

cool thats probally gonna be faster than using his upB on all 3 of the people in the neg zone, granted that there are 3 people in it

[Potato Keyboard]

HAHA! That's cool how you could get a KO with the taunt. That would be the best time in the whole game to say "You got owned", because well, it would be true!

But I'd rather use Fire Uppercut (up + B) to knock them out because it would look cooler.

Finally someone tries it! His Up-b might be more effective, but nothing beats the satisfaction of killing someone with your taunt. A satisfaction that only Luigi players can enjoy.

[Annhialator Zero]

Up+B would work better, but if you know what chars it KOs on, it would just be hilarious to do that.

[Folt]

YES!!! IT CAN KO!!!! My sis is going to be quite surprised when I Taunt KO her.

Wow, really? I didn't think it was possible to KO anyone with it.

[pyro363]

I didn't even know taunts could hurt

Luigi is the only one that can kill and Snake's can hurt too. Here's a list of all of the characters (that I unlocked) that can be killed with the taunt. All tests were done on Final Destination, in Training Mode, with the opponent at or near 50% damage, inside the Negative Zone. Do not use the Negative Zone if you are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. Side effects include, taunting, tripping, weak attacks, damage increase, dizziness, dandruff that grows plants, sleepiness, decreased speed, explosive diarrhea, and quoting Spongebob. Ask your doctor before using the Negative Zone. The Negative Zone is only for men healthy enough for brawling activity. Er-hem, uhh.. here's the list:

Kirby
Pikachu
Sheik
Fox
Mr. Game and Watch
Squirtle
Falco
Metaknight


That's them all. I haven't tested Toon Link, Wolf, Sonic, or Jiggles yet, anyone who wants to give it a try, feel free.

Did you do it at 50% or very close on Final Destination? If not then that could explain why it differes from my list. Reguardless, good job finding this out. I kept forgetting to get that finished.
