What would you guys think about aerial taunts?

Something along the lines of if you pressed your taunt buttons, an aerial animation would trigger that could just be canceled by using a move, jumping, etc. I can imagine Captain Falcon saluting while flipping in midair, yelling "Show me your moves!" and then falcon punching an enemy from off the stage.

I imagine this to be a flashy way to finish off targets.

Could be funny. Wario has a special taunt animation when he's riding his bike, it could operate in a similar manner.

Can you seriously tell me you don't want to witness an azure sphere declare that you lack necessary velocity?
YOUR LEGS AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO JUMP THIS HIGH

I'm not saying I don't want Sonic to have one, just curious as to how he could taunt while almost all the time he spends in the air he is in a ball, or are they just supposed to say stuff and not move around with it?

He pops out of his ball-shape when he attacks, how would taunting be different from that? Also, his taunt could be:

I like to pretend counter is an aerial taunt; I use it as "GAME!" appears while Lucy goes off the edge in slow motion.

It could work if they were like Portal 2's aerial gestures: small flips and the like.

I like to perform certain moves as my "taunts" if I happen to be in the air as the game finishes. Mewtwo's teleport at the right moment as he disappears, Jigglypuff's rollout (Or her up and down special for that matter) or Villagers down or neutral special etc.

Being able to actually taunt in the air would be pretty neat too though. ^^

You had something like this in Smash 64 where you could make the sound of a taunt without doing the animation by a ledge allowing people to do "show your moves" in the middle of a chain of attacks.

No thanks lol. It would be hype if people did it in tourney's, like I could see ZeRo or Nairo doing it, but you KNOW it would just be spam in FG.

Lulz if they acted like Melee Airdodges. Also bonus points if they were something like Sonic's trick moves from Generations (After flying from a ramp) + Mario Kart 8's trick animations.

I always find it hilariously cute when after getting a K.O.'ed, by my opponents, they would make it like as if they are falling off the stage, but quickly recover just to grab on the ledge.

Least, I know my fight with them was fun.

Me, if I play as Roy, or my secondaries FE cast, I would just jump around the center and short-hop, throwing out my attacks in excitement. I like watching the sparks as I do that.

It's fairly innocent, but I like to shorthop n-air twice if I KO an opponent as Pit.

A friendly signal to keep the hype up is quite fun~

I WAS ABOUT TO MENTION THE STYLISH!

Glad that I wasn't alone :)

But seriously, I would love if Paper Mario could do his stylish. Attacks or gimmick, idc, but it would be so sick :)
