As you know there is a limit to the number of times taunts are allowed in match, you are not allowed to spam them in short interval of time. Do you think this is a dumb idea, or would you prefer it stays the way it currently is.

......There's a limit on the number of taunts you can do in a match?

Yep. Should stay limited. Otherwise you'd get some players who would literally just run away and taunt every second, instead of actually, you know fighting.

You start off with two taunts and get one back per kill, right? I see no problem there. Seems pretty reasonable, if you ask me.

If there's no limit for offline play, there should be no limit for online play, especially where some character's taunts serve a legitimate mechanical purpose (like Kirby). As far as the argument for just running and taunting goes, people already do that, just using other actions as pseudo-taunts (like King Dedede crouch, or Wii Fit Trainer smashes). I can't speak much for other modes as I don't use them very often, but in Tourney and FG 1v1 I highly doubt such activities would increase noticeably with unlimited taunts.

This needs serious discussion because of chars like :4luigi::4kirby: who have useful taunts (:4luigi:spikes, :4kirby:to remove hats).
Also maybe :4greninja: but idk

Unlimited for sure. If you are that easilly insulted over taunting in a game then you need to develop a better personality.

Besidee think of Kirby, Luigi, and Greninja!

Unlimited taunts for 1v1, but keep the current system for other modes so there's no taunt parties.

What? Just want to know what people think of the taunt limitations
Well in that case, it's really up to the person if they wanna taunt whenever they want. There are some that could potentially use their taunts three in a row during a star or screen KO. As such, there is no limit to taunting.

Taunting is honestly part of the game so everyone should learn to deal with it. It adds a different dynamic to the game it different ways.

While mostly known for BMing, it's also used for utlity purposes for some characters such as :4kirby::4luigi:. It's also occasionally but more rarely used to show respect to each other at times.

See I don't have a problem with the taunts I would say keep them unlimited. But I just can't help but laugh when some people actually suicide themselves and taunt. It just makes me laugh because they are laughing at their own faults so I would definitely say keep them unlimited

I think it should be that you start out with 2-3 taunts that you can use whenever, but after that there's like a 10-15 second cooldown between using each taunt. This would allow characters like Kirby and Luigi to use their taunt actions much better, while at the same time stop random taunt spammers.
