The best combo since the Sacred Combo: The Taunt Combo

I don't think I've ever heard of or seen anyone do this combo, so I'll assume it's new to most people. This idea came to me the other day as I was trying to think of ways to incorporate Falcon's most obscure moves into combos.

Then it came to me: why not taunt during a combo?

I was hesitant to try it, for fear that my Gamecube would explode, but for the good of all that is Falcon, I had to do it. Keep in mind that no items are involved, or stage hazards, just Falcon's sheer manliness, and a low lying platform. It's still extremely situational, as I've only gotten it to work on Fox and Falco at very high %'s, but at least I got those 2 to 3 consecutive hits in training mode. Oh yeah, and I can't get it to work on FD, so I have to set it up G-reg style, by hitting them when they're underneath a platform (I used Pokemon Stadium) Here's what I know works so far, from about half an hour of training mode last night:

D-air --> taunt --> jab (got it first at 90%, could work at lower or higher)

D-air --> taunt --> n-air (around 100-110%)

D-air --> taunt --> u-air (around 98-110%)

A grab would probably work, but I don't know if it actually connects, since the consecutive hits thing doesn't count for grabs.The knee might work, but it's a little iffy. B-air is more likely to work, but I'm really hoping I get that knee to land at least once. That sh*t would be epic.

Anyways, I'll leave you guys with that for now, go and try it out and see if you can find any more information. I'll try testing it on AR tomorrow to see if I can get anything ridiculous out of it.

One of the main reasons I love falcon is that, while it is difficult to pull off, it is possible to get a taunt in between combos. I've dash danced for no reason in between combos sometimes to get my bearings for the final knee 0__o

I'd like to try this sometime and put up the match lol

I hope no one thinks there's any serious use for this combo. It's like the Sacred Combo, the whole point is to get consecutive hits doing something stupid in training mode. Why would you d-air to jab anyway? Plus, I'm pretty sure you could connect with the u-air even if they DI'd, under the right circumstances.

I tried this in AR and I think I got the knee to connect. I can't do it for sh*t in real time though. Someone PLEASE get a knee to connect in training mode. And put it on Youtube so I can see it. : D

I've done stomp-> taunt-> knee by edge-canceling the stomp. Unfortunately, I don't have any way of recording, so I can't make a video.

lol this doesnt make sence edge cancelled stop would go through a platform
No, you can edge-cancel at the edge of the platform and stay on, if you're facing the edge. I used to call it 'teeter canceling', because you cancel your landing lag with that teetering animation. Kind of like in this video:

The teeter canceling thing is great.

I love getting some double f airs or b airs(with Sheik lol)on low percents using that.
