Why can’t you taunt anymore?

User was warned for this post; trolling
they disabled it from online to keep the babies from rage quitting so that blatantly stupid reporting doesn't pester them till the end of time.

No other reason.

Yeah, they noticed how much people hate taunt parties and decided to bring the hammer down. Hard.

I dont know though, it doesnt stop people from smashing the down button. Its like watching 10 year olds do the fortnite dance instead of doing a taunt.

Because they're including playable taunts in the game (Piranha Plant) and didn't want other characters taunting to nerf it.

We have to pay for emotes taunts now. Better start saving up for "show me your moves"

That's taking the term too literally. Taunt parties were just people standing and moving around doing absolutely nothing. The taunts were hardly used. It's an outdated Brawl term that somehow manifested itself onto Smash 4.

They can still do these "parties" without fail despite the removal of public online taunts.

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but it is only disabled in online quickplay. I use the battle arena a ton and you can use taunts there no problem.

It is a shame but you can always map other buttons to your d-pad as it becomes useless online otherwise. Maybe try mapping shield to up or something to have a perfect shield/parry button. This is something I'll probably try, but I'll still miss taunting...

Folks are so sensitive these days when it comes to taunting.

I personally don’t taunt myself unless it’s for greeting others before a match, so I’m not bothered with this.

I will always maintain that Nintendo thought our unofficial taunt game was weak and took steps to force us to git gud.
