Why did they switch his up and down taunts?

[wiiztec]

And put in a yes sfx that sounds like pit or something? down taunt is my go to taunt for after kills and show your moves is the quintessential falcon taunt, up taunt is my john taunt, which fit the old up taunt because it looked like he was raging, but now it h this unfitting high pitch yes sound, why not use the up B yes at least?

Iirc, it is an unused sound effect, much like the high damage grunts/yells, except this particular one for Falcon should have stayed unused.

"Show your moves" is dpad^ bcuz melee (and consistency).

Your labels for up and down, can easily be swapped, and seem trivial as a result.

For what it's worth, I think the new "yes" is hilarious. Weird, but I'm glad it's there.

Also, on a semi-related note, the Up-B "yes" is played if you press up on the dpad as you connect a knee. Pretty great.

I think the reason they switched the taunt was because up was the taunt button in melee, and that's his taunt from melee. So, yeah, because melee.
Also, one specific player preferring to press down to taunt is a ridiculous reason to consider changing things around, especially when there are much easier solutions (you pressing up).

I believe the official reasoning was "Because he salutes up and he hunches down when saying "YES."
