Characters who need new taunts.

[andalsoandy]

Some of the character taunts in Brawl were just bland and boring. I'm glad Mario's D-taunt got changed but I feel a few other characters still need new taunts.

I'll start by saying Wario's down-taunt is not that great.

He needs to be pointing fingers, dancing around like an asshole and making this sound:

It should be able to be held indefinitely like Diddy's. When you release it after a while, he should say "Sorry!"

So which characters do you think need new taunts?

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

Charizard. His taunts are just meh. Marth flashes his tip, Ike sticks his sword in the ground like you're not worth fighting and Charizard ... roars a bit. He needs something more along the lines of "What's the matter, scared?"

I feel Ganondorf's sword taunt could be replaced.

Perhaps then we'd be done with all that silly "Ganondorf has a sword, he should use it!" talk.

Hello NO.

Have you ever used Johnny Bravo as a Ganon skin and pulled that taunt off during the "everyone's dead, slow mo time" part of the game? Needless to say, Johnny Bravo has never felt so wrong.

Excuse you, Mario's old down taunt was golden. That Donkey Kong death reference.

 

[Rᴏb]

Two of G&W's taunts are more or less the same... I'm actually okay with that, but his other taunt where he just hops and makes a beep noise I could do without.

 

[Bleck]

Donkey Kong already has the chest beat, but he should also make the noise that he makes while doing so in Donkey Kong Country.

 

[Deleted member]

All of Falcon's taunts need to be "Show me ya moves". Then I will be pleased.

 

[arcticfox8]

I feel like most of Icies taunts are bland. The only one I really like is the hopping taunt. The running in place one is okay. The one where they hold out their hammers has to be the one I'm least fond of.

 

[DrinkingFood]

your signature requests toad for Project M, your opinion is invalid

 

[Comatose]

He has other taunts?

 

[andalsoandy]

Excuse you, Mario's old down taunt was golden. That Donkey Kong death reference.

But Dr. Mario's is clearly better.

I think we just need more taunt buttons

 

[Kankato]

What if said taunt was a hidden one? If you push down very quickly, he does the death animation. It worked for Link

What if Toon Link had his treasure chest opening animation as a taunt?

Give it music and milk and we're done. You could make it a secret down taunt as well~

 

[EdgeTheLucas]

I like the idea of light press taunts to bring back replaced ones. Diddy's clapping doesn't have to be an idle pose anymore.

 

[hotdogturtle]

Wario's down-taunt is still pretty good. It's the side-taunt that needs to go.

Two of G&W's taunts are more or less the same... I'm actually okay with that, but his other taunt where he just hops and makes a beep noise I could do without.

I agree with this. There's no reason to use the "beep" when the bells exist, and the noise just feels so weak. I propose that his down-taunt gets replaced with another bell taunt in a different direction than the other two (same sound effect though).

All 3 of Dedede's taunts are outclassed by his crouch, but I'm not sure if anyone can even think of something capable of rivaling that.

 

[EdgeTheLucas]

No arguing there

 

[trojanpooh]

Not a taunt, but DK should get his bonus game victory pose from DKC for a victory pose. Maybe a taunt, but victory pose seems more fitting.

 

[Generically Epic]

I think DK should get a taunt where he blows air and it can very slightly push the opponent back without any damage... that or a victory pose... or him taking out a coconut gun!

 

[Generically Epic]

I'd like a fake falcon pun taunt like how ryu has a fake hadoken

 

[Brim]

I'm just happy that Roy's taunts aren't in the 'to-change list'.

But, the Wario one -- for the suggested taunt, I think I'd eventually have to stab myself with Roy's sword from that noise. I mean I get he's annoying, but there's a fine line between annoying people and being too annoying.

Also @Generally Epic
I completely agree, the Fake Falcon Punch taunt (FFPT) would be awesome!

 

[Kink-Link5]

Still no infinite Wario bicep polish that sparkles when you release it.

I have obtained the most profound sadness in the universe.

He's not annoying enough :D

That taunt would work though, cos if you catch him taunting at the wrong time it'd be extra satisfying to beat him up.

 

[Mansta]

I just want for Luigi's Mr. L costume to have different poses for his up taunt, one of them being his pose from Paper Mario.

 

[Dillo64]

I want more interactive taunts.

Like, Mewtwo should be able to stay asleep if you hold the button, and it would give you back health.

Or if you press A right when Link sheathes his sword, he'll do the Mortal Draw strike from TP, which would be super powerful.

Falcon's "Power Up" taunt should make his next Falcon Punch twice as strong, but only if done within the next few seconds.

Ganon's sword should reflect projectiles, so he'd be technically using it and everyone would shut up



Also I think DK's crummy "shaking" taunt should be changed to this:

Spoiler

 

[chaosscizzors]

instead of changing taunts we could just have a bunch of smash taunts, potentially doubling the number of taunts that every character has. just a thought.

 

[turtletank]

Also I think DK's crummy "shaking" taunt should be changed to this:

Spoiler

I think DK's taunts are perfect together. He's got a yes, no, and IDK taunt.

 

[-Whiplash-]

What? It's his best taunt! He's giving everyone the finger!

As we all know the beeps are really just him being censored for swearing.

If anything the side bell should be changed to something new.

Personally I like the shaking taunt, but this could be a smash taunt.

Falcon taunt sounds OP.

Mewtwo should regain a small amount of health. Jigglypuff should too when doing Rest :D

 

[Banjodorf]

Ill say again: DK needs the "shaking his hands over his head" celebration taunt from DKC, or giving a thumbs-up and an "OK!" from DK64 instead of the awful head-shaking one.

Though I don't think his current taunts need to go, I do agree that those should be implemented as Smash taunts.

Grant Kirkhope was the best DK.

If I made a video game, I'd want Grant Kirkhope to voice every character.

Even if it was an all girl fighting game.

Also the head shake is great as a taunt. Anything that makes people that angry is a pretty effective taunt.

 

[Generically Epic]

I want Falco to do the Pizza Cake taunt, but instead of catching the reflector, he uses the vbrawl b-down.
Kick, kick, vbrawl dspecial

 

[EdgeTheLucas]

Yep.

I hadn't heard DK's voice in a long time so when I played MK: Double Dash!! and I heard DK's voice I was like "Whoa, what happened? It's like Ganondorf pretending to be a monkey or something!"

Then I looked up his new voice actor. It wasn't Grant Kirkhope . But I found out that his voice actor, Takashi Nagasako, also voiced Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker. So I was right in my opinion 0_o

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

Mortal Draw is a Brawl Minus thing, you'll be happy to learn.

Also DK's hands over head thing is a victory pose, which works better methinks.

Totally forgot about that. However, the thumbs up and "OK!" should be implemented. Because awesome. Also, does anyone have a link to that fileset that changes DK and Diddy's voices to their DK64 voices? I've seen it before, but I'm not sure where.

(Off-topic I know. Although it does sort of fit with the "OK!" taunt discussion.)

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

I'm least impressed with Yoshi's taunts. At least bring back the 64-style "Yoshi..." sound bite. I think at least one of his taunts should be playing around with one of his eggs (balancing one on his nose, rolling one across his arms) and he could really use a reference to his games. Let's see a fakeout egg toss pose (like the charging ability in YI) or even his 64 "kakakaboooo!" Throw in the saddle-up sound from Mario World/Mario Kart. Whatever you do, just give him more flavor! Anything is better than dancing in a circle or "Yup yup".

Yeah. Yoshi's probably a character that needs new taunts the most. I mean two of his taunts are just him spinning around. What?

 

[red9rd]

Lucas should have the Oshoe Dance for one of his taunts with the ability for held button continued dancing.

 

[LordShade67]

Charizard. Real talk.

That would be PRICELESS! I almost forgot about that.
