Are there any moves you think could double as a taunt? For example, I feel like Peach's up tilt would work as well as Link's/Toon Link's up b (on the ground that is).

:4rob:Up-Tilt.
Most satisfying taunt in the game, at little to no risk to you.
Crouch walking after a good Power Pellet/Hydrant/Fruit KO with:4pacman:is pretty amusing, too.

I enjoy throwing out a Falcon Punch after a KO. Luigi and Rosalina's"crawl" is also something to note.

King Dedede ducking while facing right is the most obvious one. Wario looking for his bike while it is on-screen and an uncharged waft also work, though I reserve the latter for the end of a match, especially in sudden death.

Little Mac holding Jab.

Greninja's crawl back and forth.

Robin's Arcfire (preferably empty animation with no tome, otherwise you just lose 1 use)

Shulk running in place at the ledge while shuffling his Monado Arts.

Ganondorf's repeated crouching animation.

Lying about my country.
Not exactly what you're asking, but Marth's Up Smash and Marth's Up Taunt are basically the exact same ****ing thing, except that one of them has extra effects and is done in a pose that looks 3.2% more aggressive.

As Pac Man, just up B in the middle of the stage and jump on your trampoline.

A lot of Pac Man's moves seem pretty disrespectful.

Dedede's down tilt also works if you feel like his crouch just isn't enough.
Ness' u/dsmash work as well.

:4dedede:s crouch is the best taunt in the game.
Him aside, I like to use the PSI Magnet as :4ness: or the Pocket as :4villagerf:.
Maybe I should also try an uncharged PK Flash, it's a nice lil' green firework!

Tiptoeing is a disgustingly fun way to taunt. I just barely touch the analog stick in any direction and watch as my boy Luigi very slowly backs away from the ledge in a very comical fashion. That and I like to do the same thing with the analog stick, but go back and forth with it, left to right repeatedly so he doesn't dash but ind of just stands in this awkward stance as she shifts indecisively all over the place.

Or I can just crouch and back his booty toward the ledge. I'm sure my opponents really appreciated that. :laugh:

Surprised no one mentioned kirby dance! (tilt left, tilt right, repeat)

Or Kirby and Jiggs repeated crouch!

I think Luigi wins though with his crouch crawl ...

Wii Fit Trainer's Neutral air, crawl and down tilt are pretty taunt worthy, especially the crawl. Best crawl out of 10

Ness' PKT2 into the ground.

Jigglypuff's uncharged rollout.

Bowser Jr's dtilt.

Villager's whiffed Pocket.

Wario's uncharged fart.

Diddy's whiffed banana pull.

Duck Hunt - kick a can and stand near it so the Dog covers his eyes - or fast fall Nair into the ground so he splats.

Pikachu's dair into the ground.

ROB attempting a gyro when one is already out.

Any character with a crouch walk.

MewTwo's Up-Smash feels like a taunt. I looks like he's holding the cosmos in his hands.

I think he stole the idea from Rosalina.

Characters where you press and hold A that lock (fox, falcon, WFT, etc)

bowser jrs crouch release crouch release (looks like cheering)

and my personal favorite.. the hylian fireworks.... grab a bomb, hold shield till it explodes, link/TL go flying a bit up, if timed the bomb explosion with the top of the shield break fly, you get the perfect hylian firework (TL's bombs look cooler) aaaand youre not vulnerable since bomb explosion is damage taken

also, weakening moves like tilts that chain so they combo more is a cool thing (pika utilt, fox utilt, sheik ftilt, diddy dtilt, etc)

I always time my Dr. Tornado after I killed my opponent so when the game slows down, I look badass.

Mega Man throwing blades when he's already holding one.

It's like he's waving goodbye.

Also, Wii Fit Trainer's crawl back and forth in place.
