I know this isn't the most useful thing to do with the IC's, but I've seen it done (accidentally?) and have been trying fruitlessly to do it myself.

Have Popo and Nana face each other and taunt, so that the mallets cross. It looks **** cool.

I know the taunt typically cancels running, so I've tried to dash dance and taunt JUST as they face each other, but I couldn't get it to work like that. Anyone else have any ideas how to do this? I know I've seen it done before, so its definitely possible.

dashdance -> pivot desynch -> taunt

the last two steps need to literally occur within like 6 frames. it may be hard to get them to cross the hammers because of spacing, but you should get it after a while.

It's my usual finishing taunt, I just dodge and hold up on the d-pad. Right after the dodge ends, I let go, turn, and hit taunt again. Holding taunt de-syncs Nana into it, then you have Popo turn and taunt.

Dodging makes it look kinda lame though. I need to practice better ways to do it XD

ive done it where I roll left, then right with the C-stick
popo rolls right while Nana Fsmashes, then Nana walks towards Popo but dosnt turn around. Taunt there. Yea, its a longer setup, but it works

I don't have the IC's pivot desynching down at all, feels weird to me. I'll get it eventually and try Wilhelmsan's method.

I can do it Wobbles-style, simple enough. It's what I'ma use.

I can't get Na!l's method, at all. I got the (control stick) roll (left) then C-stick roll (right) to get Nana to fsmash and Popo to roll away. However, I can't get Nana to taunt as she goes back to Popo. If I wait for her to get all the way there, she'll turn to Popo's direction (in this case left) to taunt.

You'll also note that my way of doing it makes a W with the hammers and the ICs. XD Pretty amazing. It's like they made it just for me.

I tried it last night and I cant get it to work that way. I thought it would work because she doesn't turn around right away when she runs back. I remember doing it that way once, but maybe by accident or somthing. Sorry X_X
