Most aggravating taunts?

What are some taunts that just get under your skin?
For me, I'd say Falcon's "Show me your moves" (classic), or any of Sonic's taunts.

"Show me your moves", "Hiiiiii!", "Okay", "Sonic Speeed!", "La-la-la-la-la-la!", "I'm reeeally feeling it!", "Is that all ya got!?"

Donkey Kong's down taunt, Dedede's down taunt, and his crouch even though it's not really a taunt.

Special shout out to: "You're too slow!", "What's the matter, scared?"

None! Don't let taunts get you on tilt! I generally enjoy them as an aspect of the game.

The only taunt that make my blood boil is Dog Hunt Dog's laughing taunt.

I dislike all taunts and when opponents crouch down repeatedly, like "teabagging."

The absolute WORST experience in Smash Bros. to me is getting launched by PK Thunder2 at like 50% and getting hit with the "OKAYYYY" taunt. I'm also not a fan of Ike's crossed-arms/indifferent taunt, but that's mostly because I just dislike Ike as a character in general.

It's funny though, because I play Dedede primarily online in For Glory and I crouch a lot just to make it easier to D-Tilt. I didn't even realize that it was considered a taunt or "disrespectful" until I beat someone online and they blew up my Miiverse chewing me out for it...now I pretty much do it all the time haha.

Ness ok taunt is the best taunt. Use it after every kill lol. You shouldn't let taunts get you mad it's a fun little thing to do while waiting for your opponent to respawn.

Typically any taunt that is repeated makes my blood boil (taunting only once is fine), but this seems to be a favorite of my opponents:

It gets under my skin when my opponent doesn't taunt.
If you're gonna defeat me, the least you can do is look awesome while doing it.

Everything that comes out of shulk's mouth is annoying. It's word vomit. One time I faced a guy in FG that trolled me by only using back slash the whole match....

I usually don't get annoyed at taunting but these 5:

:4peach: LAA LALAA LALAAA LAAA!
:4sonic: SANIC SPEED!
:4wario: *Shakes his butt at you*
:4dedede: *Spins his hammer*

And the worst one :4pacman: Pacmans taunt where he lays down and whistles with notes flying over his head! Annoys me almost every time!

The one that really annoys me (aside from Pit's and Sonic's, but I attribute that to being annoyed by the character, and no one I know plays them anyway) is Pikachu's down-taunt. It's so annoying personally that I can't even stand using it myself when playing him.

Guys, I think it's time to have a serious talk about teabagging.

Don't let it bother you, because the truth is it's not even actually possible in this game.

Teabagging is not and has never been just "crouching repeatedly," but putting your freaking balls inside another person's mouth. In games, this was done by crouching over your opponent's corpse after defeating them in representation of the action.

In Smash, characters don't leave bodies behind, so there's nowhere for the winning player to put their balls in. There's no chance for your opponent's balls to ever be inside your mouth even metaphorically.

Even if teabagging is your opponent's intention, they're actually failing to do so. At no point in the game you're even given a chance to put your balls into someone's mouth. So making references to the action is completely meaningless.

"But teabagging is not about the actual action, but about domination and humiliation and ****!"

That's just it, humiliation tactics kinda lose their meaning if you can't perform the actual tactic. There's simply no humiliation to be had. "I want to humiliate you" doesn't mean anything when you can't actually go ahead and do it.

So next time you see someone crouching repeatedly, think of it as if they're just crouching repeatedly, because that's literally all they're doing.

I don't know what to think about this comment... How do you have a serious talk about teabagging? I'm hoping the majority of the people here know what teabagging is. Let's take a moment to let sink in that there is now an entire comment devoted to clarifying the name of the act of putting your balls in somebody's mouth.
Anyway, for me it's fighting a Jigglypuff. I can't help but feel like Jigglypuff goes out its way to incorporate some kind of taunt into all of her moves. That's why I love her so much.

It's just silly to see people complaining about it so often when it's not even possible to do in this game.

I'm mostly just sorta joking anyway.

Just... You don't see that kinda comment every day. Or most days. Or ever, really. I'm sure somebody's glad you decided to speak up about... improper uses of teabagging. I mean, These are first-world problems right here!

Peach's Side Taunt takes the cake for me. God, and they say "You're too slow!" was annoying in Brawl...
Special mentions go to Ness's "Okay!", Wario's laugh, Yoshi's Down Taunt, [Dark] Pit's Down taunt, and Shulk's infamous "I'm really feeling it!"

Yeah, if you ask me, it really shows how her character's changed since 2001.
In Melee, she sounded honestly confused about who the winner was.
Now, she's very well-aware that she can fend for herself. Good thing for the character... but it still rubs salt in the wound to hear after a loss. >_<

Even so, there's a reason I call any opposing :4gaw: "that damn laughing duck".

Peach's side taunt (which makes her sound like a complete *****) and all of Jigglypuff's taunts are the absolute worst taunts in Smash Bros. history. And Sonic's...I mean Sanic's "You're too slow!" taunt in Brawl was a total pain in the *** to go through. Good thing they replaced it with the lame *** "Sonic speed!"...I mean..."Sanic speed!" for that taunt.

If I want to piss someone off, as soon as I send them flying I spam "HIIIII" or Kirby's cute little dance (side taunt)
Taunts don't upset me, it's more or less why they taunted.

Rosalina's are pretty annoying, too. And anything related to Diddy. Fox's nasaly "Come on!" is irritating, too.
