Taunting

[Grim Tuesday]

Would you say that taunting is a bad habit?
It technically serves no purpse (Unless you're Luigi) and wastes time that you could use to get a better spot on the stage, charge attacks, etc... It also sometimes leads to deaths.

Opinions?

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

It doesnt serve a purpose??!?!@?


madness...

 

[kaak]

snake's box is full of **** :O and some taunts are ammazing (diddy) but taunting is just for fun, so indeed there are better things... i think....

 

[UzakiuzuG]

Most players prefer that you don't taunt. Well the ones AIB they find it insulting hahah

 

[bobson]

Taunt next to the ledge when your opponent SDs and then laugh when they chase you off the ledge in anger and SD again.

*sagenod*

 

[Leisha]

Some are good for annoying people =P

 

[Grim Tuesday]

But really, does taunting annoy people?
I get annoyed by being taunted after I self-destruct, but I don't go out in a blind rage and attack teh otehr player (Instead I unplug their controller XD).

 

[Kuraudo]

It can make people lose their focus if you manage to tick them off enough.

I've done that.

...

"YOU'RE TOO SLOOOW!"

 

[Holty]

My friend gets annoyed when an MK taunts against him lol. In his words: "It's ******* cheeky. They're already broken, it doesn't need to be rubbed in anymore".

...

I tend to lol

 

[rpgfighter]

I do so they get angry and it makes them lost focus a little bit more.

Overall though if I am using someone like Rob I never taunt.

 

[highfive]

I don't taunt unless I truly know it's a friendly and no hard feelings come about. My taunts aren't to put someone down so it's all good. If it's a tourney match I think taunting just shows how much of a **** you are.

 

[HeroMystic]

I don't see the problem in taunting.

While I don't do it much as Mario, I do it a lot as Link (Down taunt is epic) and somewhat with Ike (Down-taunt: "Wind flapping on my coat cape!"). If you get pissed at taunting then I'd just use it as a tactical advantage.

But on a serious note, it's just a fun perk, no harm in it (unless it's WiFi).

 

[bassem6]

I have seen matches where a character has used their taunt as a frametrap. I remember one clip I saw somewhere, a marth player used his up taunt and his opponent was on the ledge. The opponent ledgehopped back on stage and charged at the marth only to get dolphin slashed in the face and lose the match...it was great xD

 

[dcubed]

I think the purpose for taunts is just for something to do while the player is flying off into the distance. As for the use, I think short annoying taunts can make people really mad. Look at ness and his OK! or sonic and his you're too slow! That gets super annoying. I will never use a taunt in a tournament unless the player does it first. Doesn't help that snake's taunt takes forever!

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I do it all the time.

It's effing great.

 

[uhmuzing]

Dash dancing!

 

[lordhelmet]

I spam "Show me your moves" to make my opponent angry.

:3

 

[mars16]

The most annoying taunts to me is Captain falcons and Falco

 

[6Mizu]

mmmm.....no it's not a bad habit. I do it all the time.

My taunts after killing someone w/ ROB:
-Running back and forth Pivot Grabbing multiple times.
-multiple jumps into Gyro cancels
-T-baggin'

My taunts after killing someone w/ Snake:
-Running back and forth Pivot Grabbing multiple times.
-Dash Shielding.
-T-baggin'

My taunts after killing someone w/ Marth:
-Running back and forth Pivot Grabbing multiple times.
-Reversal-b my Sheild Breaker multiple timez.

That's really the only thing Falcon has on his opponents, you better use it.

 

[Goldenadept]

if you play wolf then you HAVE to taunt at least once when they SD "whats the matter, scared?"
plus snarling/howling at your opponent is too good

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I actually do this every time I can get away with it, and sometimes when I can't.

What an awesome taunt.

 

[6Mizu]

LMAO!!!!!
Nice GW......but he has.......NM
He's good in Brawl +.

 

[Delta-cod]

I prefer taunt combos.

Yoshi: Egglay > Dtaunt

 

[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney]

I prefer Spamming Kirby's down Taunt...I've been doing that all three games, and I'm never gonna stop doing that .

Of course, Wi-fi messages are the real joke here, everybody.

 

[6Mizu]

ummmmm.....wow your new here?
Any way....I don't like when people use actual taunts....I don't know why either.

How nice of you to notice ^_^.

I personally think that taunts were just made to annoy the other opponent. And that's what most people at Basic Brawl think as well .

 

[DUB]

The only time I taunt is if someone is doing something gay on purpose and I kill them. Otherwise, I never taunt.

 

[Plasma54]

On Wi-fi, when I "taunt" it is usually to show that they used an impressive kill on me >.> Otherwise, I don't taunt much online.

Probably 90% of people on Wi-Fi Taunt. -.-

 

[Goldenadept]

is it like a code of honor that in most of the random online matches you get into everyone starts off by taunting? XD cause that seems to happen a lot

Yes, it's a message to never use Basic Brawl.

It's a mixture of taunt parties, pros, laggy Wi-Fi people, hackers, and the worst of them all...the ones who leave the moment the match starts causing your Wii to freeze up. Fantastic.

 

[Goldenadept]

uhm, basic brawl isn't that bad, it lets you play random noobs and destroy them until they rage quit, or you sometimes get someone who's really good and you get to have fun, no name, no strings attached battles

 

[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney]

Remember that you're going up against 4 players. Yes, the destroying noobs part is fun, but it's no fun when the entire match is lagging its butt off. Even when you are fighting an pro, it could end at anytime with a person's Wi-Fi acting up. Or if a jerk comes in and causes you to return to the main menu of Brawl. And THAT, is no fun :|.

 

[GwJ]

I never actually gave my input. I taunt after most kills if I'm comfortable enough to remember to.

 

[~Lady Luck~]

There are people out there that simply get irritated on certain levels. There are those who need to get taunted about 3 times in a row, then there's those who get irritated simply because you ran away to avoid close combat. In Basic Brawl, since they're never fair matches anyway, I just avoid everyone and wait for their damage to get high. Taunt. Those high damage people seem to forget how easily they can get KO'd and go straight for you. It's funny how often that works. In actual matches offline, I only taunt as another form of baiting the opponent closer.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Well in Brawl+ the taunts I use are
Charizard's Side Taunt
Ness's Down Taunt
Ness's Up Taunt (Spammed)
Game and Watch's Down Taunt (Spammed)
Jigglypuff Side Taunt

I've always wondered if Jiggly's Down Taunt is actually useful for anything...

 

[hyperhopper]

what happens if a brawl+ user tries to go on wifi "with anyone"

 

[rPSIvysaur]

I taunt when I camp but don't have a projectile.

 

[Yumewomiteru]

there are some people who gets pissed when you taunt, it gets in their heads.
