Taunting

[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney]

As a Falcon main, there's alot of fun to Basic Brawl. Taunt Parties, pwning people....or Falcon Punch spam...Oh yeah, I once hosted a taunt party involving spamming Squirtle's utilt. It was pretty fun .

 

[-_skinny_-]

I think the purpose for taunts is just fo something to do while the player is flying off into the distance...
... Doesn't help that snake's taunt takes forever!

WAHH!?! Sakes taunt is fast! You just have to know how to come out of it (press "A" or "grab")
I like gimping Links with it LMAO!!

Death by Snake's box...That has to be the #1 most stupidest way to die on Brawl .

Luigi's Down-Taunt.

Luigi's Down-Taunt.

It has to be a tie between those two then...Of course, you can gimp with Snake's box....but you can't even die at 999% by Luigi's taunt. So Luigi wins this round...

 

[Nidtendofreak]

I taunt by jabbing rapidly, unless it was a game winning kill. In which case I down taunt. >_>

Boring, I know.

Ike's "hmmph" taunt? That's the most uncoolest of them all D:...You have to do "Prepare Yourself" if you want to be annoying. And it helps if you spike them after doing that.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Don't like "Prepare Yourself." If it's the end of the fight, what is there to prepare for?

Sure, I could taunt at other times, but I'd rather keep my rhythm going.

@3:06:

Apparently C. Falcon can recover with taunt? (but of course we all knew this was possible) How can you say taunting is useless?

[kaio-ken]

ehh it depends on WHEN you taunt. Like sometimes its annoying and some it funny

 

[Jonas]

I just taunt when I feel like it.

Like taunting before a kill to make it more epic!?! ITS EPIC!!!

 

[WPH15]

I only really do taunts while the enemy is flying off into the background. Quite satisfying to hear, say, Fox screaming as he goes whizzing off into space while Captain Falcon says "Show me ya moves!" and strikes an epic pose.

Yeah, kinda like that, except I'm not that awesome, haha.

 

[BSP]

i rarely taunt. But it might be a good idea. If your opponent gets mad, they may make more mistakes.

 

[MysteriousSilver]

I taunt after most kills.

I thought everyone did, never realized that people thought anything of it ._.

It's not like any sensible player would get downright mad from watching a specific animation accompanied with a specific soundbit
It kinda does send the signal that you're not taking the match seriously though, so I guess it could work on some people...

 

[orange/xd]

I crouch repeatedly instead.

 

[Deeptuna]

I taunt whenever possible because people tend not to whine when a video game character insults them.

 

[WPH15]

Well like I said, to me, taunting is just a good way to cap off the match.

 

[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney]

I crouch repeatedly instead.

There's a reason why I second Kirby and that is the reason. Of course, Kirby's down taunt has ALWAYS been the more annoying taunts, probably the most annoying in Melee .

 

[Midnight Shadows]

Gogo Marth's Up taunt into counter/grab when they get pissed.

You don't play against good Peach's very often then, huh?

"Ohhhh, did I win?"

RAGE

Taunting serves no purpose?
To me it does. Most taunts are not that bad, (except for PIt's "YOU'RE NOT READY YET" crap, which I find insulting) and taunt like movements as well (DDDs crouch).
But really, taunting is a simple way of showing dominance in a non-offensive manner (unless you're way too sensitive) and it can giev you a boost of confidence. this boost can be bad if you get to cocky, but it can also help you if you know how to work with it. Likewise, a simple taunt can also cause minor mind games with your opponent.
In my opinion, it's a psychological benifit. Go taunt today!

In all honesty? If you don't dig Pit's taunts, then YOU'RE NOT READY YET.

If you wanna go boy, then THE FIGHT IS ON!

Luigi's Down-Taunt.

Get loose! Footloose!

If you wanna go boy, then THE FIGHT IS ON!

SHOW ME YOUR MOVES.

 

[The_Altrox]

SHOW ME YOUR MOVES.

FALCON PUNCH!

Yes, I consider that move a taunt. It has the same effect as a taunt if you land it as well as the bonus of making a kill.

 

[Bad!]

taunting owns i do it all the time :D

 

[Xebenkeck]

Jigglypuffs sing is by far the best form of tauning

[Pr0phetic]

Any character who has an UpB/fast move like MK can use taunts as serious KO mindgames *cough Kadaj cough**

 

[Rubberbandman]

Crouch taunting is the real man's taunt.

 

[B.Link]

Don't really like to taunt unless i got a ******s ko against someone =]

 

[Cold Fusion]

It is possible to fake people out with them.

 

[SwedishChef]

Show Me Ya Moves is the best tactic ever.

/thread

 

[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney]

I've heard aboot that tactic, Captian Falcon says "Show Me Your Moves!" and when you don't listen, you automatcially lose...
