Taunting after the match is already over? meh. Whatever floats your boat. You won the round so it's your right to do a homoerotic victory dance if you feel like it.

Taunting while the match is still going on? That's the shit right there. I mean they let you cancel it even. This game begs for multiple taunts per round. Begs for it I tell you.
 
I don't taunt like I used to.

Every time I won a round, I'd taunt, but it got old.

I started to feel like the people who keep hitting you after you lose a round.

Now, the only time I taunt is when I'm using Tira or Xianghua.

I usually don't taunt. If there is a RO or if I want to do mind games I will through out a taunt. If the opponent starts taunt spamming or acting like they're the best player evah since they won a round on the internet and haven't won the match yet, that's when I will through out the B2:BBB.
 
If someone does excessive taunting, that is spamming the taunt button continuously after a round, I won't play them again in the future. This just feels unsportsmanlike to me. A taunt, I don't mind so much. Teabag, and I'll stop playing around with you . I'll go beyond simply playing to win if I can and play to humiliate. Teabagging just seems like a total lack of respect even beyond taunt spam, and I won't put up with it.

For what I do, sure, I'll taunt sometimes. I do it in moderation, though, so it doesn't become an assy move. Occasionally, if I'm ahead in life and there's massive distance, I'll just do a taunt as a way of saying "your move, sucka!"
 
For Vader, if I'm out of force at the end of a round, I spam a+bG so he does his out-of-force stun. Either that or I rotate the joystick-- it's hard to understand how funny it really is unless you try it out for yourself.

I approve.


Post-round tauntspam and teabagging in general is scrubby. It's about as clever and original as calling someone a noob.

Repeated move cancels, running away, self-ROs, hell, even doing the CF animation is better than taunting.
 
I do the headshake when I win with a cheap RO move, or the opponent RO's themselves... It's the closest thing to an appology.

Those morons who use cheap lag tactics to win a round and then taunt like 80 times after they win... those guys deserve to be shot.
 
When i ring out someone or when the opponent is down and ko'ed. Please tell me Ivy's taunt i don't understand it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I love taunting with Raph everytime with his A+K just teleporting around the enemy on the floor lolz it's hilarious just hearing the noob over the mic give in to the continuous " PATHETIC!, PATHETIC!, PATHETIC! " xD
 
I notice taunting (or even hitting the opponent) after a match irritates some people. Because of this doing that can be mind game in itself, since the person being irritated can affect their concentration on the next round.
 
I tend to play better when I get mad. So if some talentless idiot is spamming a few moves and somehow manages a lucky RO, and he follows it up with taunting... I tend to open up a can.

Unless I'm playing against you, OOF. While the taunting kinda bothered me (felt a bit disrespected)... I don't think it really had an impact on the outcome. You pretty much were going to kick my ass no matter what.
 
With Cassandra I like to do other stupid stuff. Do the whole 236 spam over and over so your almost molesting them or I like to try to time my 44aB so that I fly over my opponent the moment the screen stops.

Also taunts are great to use in battle to throw people off.
 
When is there a bad time to taunt? I mash taunts after most wins, also taunt in front of people when they are low on health before I kill them. Who cares about the psychological aspects just taunt because its funny. Bonus characters have good taunts like "I almost feel like dancing" and "all show and no go".

"Won't you come closer" I believe she's saying in English. Not sure in Japanese. Probably "doushite kocchi" or "kocchi kocchi" which could both work in a way. I taunt all the darn time online. I take it nowhere near seriously. Just ask Poshib.
