You mean the in-game taunts that you do by pressing the d-pad? Lol come on, that's just for fun. If someone is actually annoyed by that then that's just ridiculous.

I'm terrible with the character, but kills with Greninja Taunt are hilarious!

 

[Askherserenity]

Not sure where else to post this but has anyone had any luck finding any adapters?

 

[Green Mamba]

I always taunt after a KO on the off chance it gets my opponent angry and careless.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Just curious, what controller are you using?

I'm still stuck with the WiiU Gamepad, and I feel like the analog stick is far worse than a Gamecube stick. I keep doing side+b instead of down+b and overall it just feels more inaccurate.

Might also be just me imagining things but it feels like it returns to the neutral position quite slowly.

I'm using the GC controller

"You're too Slow!"
"Hiiiii!"
"La-la-la-la-la-la"
"Wa-wa-WA"
"Pikaaaaaa"
"I'm really feeling it!"

"Yoshi-Yoshi"
"Beeeep-Beeeep"

Taunting after KOs is just reflex for me now.

Taunting can be frustrating, but not so much because of the taunt itself. It's frustrating when you're losing, or you know you're winning because your opponent isn't giving it his or her all. Basically (for me), it comes down to already being frustrated with the game/my gameplay, the taunt is just what sets it off.

That said, I tend to taunt a lot with randoms online. <.< Winning or losing, I try to get silly more often than I probably should. Most especially if I'm playing someone that's clearly better than me, and I find some success. I try and make sure to rub it in while I can, same for going for disrespectful/unecessary/risky kills and combos. Thankfully for the world, taunting is limited to two times until your opponent loses a stock. Even if you die you can't taunt more than twice, unless you kill them.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I always fart with Wario when "GAME" pops up B]

Spoiler

unless I got the win by using the fart, which is even better!

 

[jorgejjvr]

Guys nothing wrong with taunts lol

Going to ban those too? xD

Someone's clearly not feeling it.

 

[udivision]

I only taunt if the other person establishes that they taunt.

 

[Seik]

I taunt when I remember I can after sending someone to oblivion. :lol

 

[The Bankslammer]

learning your character's taunts, and when to properly use them, is a key part of the road to becoming a true smash brother

 

[KLatin Scelus]

I'm not annoyed by taunts, in fact I use them very often.

I'm just showing him prime examples of why people get annoyed by taunts.

 

[jorgejjvr]

i mean what else can we do while we wait for the opponent to come back xD

 

[Spinosaurus]

Also the best taunt is Wario's bike taunt.

It's so good it ignores the taunt limit online.

You'd be surprised by what some people can be annoyed by in fighting games.

Even the AI taunts. This was meant to be a party game; when someone is knocked out you make a quick little taunt just for fun.

You said I'd be surprised and well you're right, I'm surprised already.

You'll be surprised. I probably annoy people by jabbing the air when they get KO'd. But since I've started using Shulk his "I'm really feeling it!" taunt seems to aggravate people.

Finally

hnnnnnnnnnn

Time for a full day of bath time and light plane vocal mixes.

 

[brickwalker0]

All this taunting talk reminds me of the opening of Baseketball:

[Geg]

Oh wow I had no idea taunting was limited online. Makes sense I guess

 

[jorgejjvr]

1 v 1?

 

[Puruzi]

Anyone up for 1v1?

 

[Omzz]

nintendo wont restock adapters, but have a contest on twitter of posting a pic of the family playing MK8 where you could potentially win one

i hate you

 

[Jrs3000]

1 v 1?

ill play

 

[Soul Lab]

Anyone up for 1v1?

i am. added

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Also the best taunt is Wario's bike taunt.

It's so good it ignores the taunt limit online.

Or just ducking or crawling forward or backwards. Basically everything Wario does can taunt

And I like to just duck after a kill when I'm playing as DeDeDe. That pose is better then any taunt in the game.

 

[jorgejjvr]

ill play

great. My id is my username, we have each other?

[Puruzi]

Whoops

 

[Monster Zero]

Anyone up for 1v1?

 

[Puruzi]

Rest yesss

 

[Karsticles]

It might be built into the game but I think it's still pretty rude if you're clearly winning more and you keep taunting after every KO.

I used to be offended, but at some point it stopped bothering me. I don't want to split hairs over what is rude and what is not. You are welcome to ask someone not to taunt you if it happens.

Thanks! I love seeing more people sign up!

Signed up'd for those weeklys, so many players here that always make me feel like I'm improving after a session, be nice to find more.

Alright I'm going to go and accept your friend request and I'll be on shortly.

 

[SoldnerKei]

regarding the what's rude discussion... to me what it's really rude is not taking the match seriously, pretty much like that diddy vs ness match of M2K, doing stuff like that is plain assholery

taunting is ok, teabagging it's childish but still gives me a laugh, spending a whole stock trying to hit you with silly upB? nope
