Do you taunt? When, why and why not?

any time someone wake up ultras and misses. my cody stands still, scratches his head, and says… heyy…
then i dont take the free punish because easy is boring. id rather lose. half the time, literally, i let them hit me once after the wiffed wake up ultra.

i dont expect amyone to understand.

other that taunting failed out of combo ultras.
taunting is pretty lame.
anyone who acts like they are the best is only lying to thwmsemves and excessivly emotional irl.
/shrug

I taunt if the other player taunts first and I turn the game around on them.

I would only taunt if I know the player and the match is funny.

Edit: Or before you win you taunt…then in the next match I do everything I can to style on you…that’s when I taunt

It’s not about acting like i’m the best, but I sure as hell know when i’m superior to another player.

i taunt player who resort an easy way rushdown…
usually, i countered a few attacks, and start hit n run.
then i start taunting like there’s no tomorrow.

Elf player here, I try to give every opponent a “Viva” before starting proper. I don’t care if I have to run away to do it or even get hit. Everyone deserves a viva!

Reverse habanero run, piccadillo kick (Woo!) xx VIVA!

hard to find a unique player like you…credits to you bro. I like your style :slight_smile:

Just trying to keep it real. And fun. And competitive. All the fake stuff out the window.

Might not be the best player. Might like to goof a bit. But I practice like mad to be as bad as I am, I know my limits but I love the game. It’s been a 20 year love affair.

Now where’s R. Mika? Can we get a butt bump.

Sorrow, maybe one day when I get it all set up again we can go for some biffo. If you ever happen to be in Japan, hit me up.

thats cool…i 'll let you know if i’ll be in japan.
whoaa…u like r_mika too? elf, gief, alex, hugo, haggar, r_mika, and t.hawk…
these guys has made this game exhilirating.,.
wrestler rulez…!

practice like mad? tell me, how’s your RSF?

My RSF sucks so bad. I can usually get two punches into slide. *When *I can get it. I’m playing on a pad (Specifically 3DS) and just can’t get my thumb to gallop at the right time/rhythm consistently. When I hook my thumb under and fingers over the top, it’s a lot easier… just makes doing everything else pretty hard!

Currently Golden Week here in Japan so I hope to hit the arcades and get some stick practice in. Mostly I want to practice RSF but given that it’s holiday season and the local gesen will be packed, might just be a case of survival against the locals until I can get a stick and the game setup at home. Too much work, not enough money or time…

Huge T.Hawk fan, can’t play him to save my life. R.Mika is so rad, pre-Elf wrestler with an angle and a sense of humour. Still trying to get her up to scratch.

I want to get into 3S but can’t seem to find a character who fits my groove. Any ideas?

no …you don’t have to get a fightstick to perfect RSF.
ANALOG FIGHTPAD is more flexible if you are :

  1. elf player (you need a smaller radius to qcf or qcb a lot!)
  2. rekka type character player (feilong, yang and poison - same reason above)
  3. 360s grappler (a full circle will be easier to pull out if you input stick has smaller radius. remember 2.pi.Rad?)

my main is THawk and Cody as secondary. But i do tryout a lot … (I mean a lot) Elfuerte
…just to gain my spirit and mood…

back to topic, are you agree that Elf run-back-run-forward (with ear-torturing-sneaker-scratching) can be considered as taunting too?

I THINK NOT…

Fact: taunt is a move. I taunt to elicit a reaction from my opponent. Then I capitalize :slight_smile:

Response to wakeup whiffed ultra.

a lot of times i’ll just be like working on my blocking and then most people start taunting since i’m not doing a whole lot of attacking, so eventually it ends up with us just taunting for 20 seconds until i can goad them to attack me again.

I taunt and everyone should taunt to players like this :slight_smile:

thanks for make me ROFL…
now i know he’s a sagat main player…not ryu,
well…i hope i could troll this Toothbreaker online.
I’ll send you my recordings when i’m done trashing this fag.

btw…do you use fraps? which version?

I play as Vega, and use Taunt 2 where he makes a quick “Come here” gesture. He moves quick and IIRC you can pull it after knocking an opponent down and Vega will finish before wake up, or at least be able to dash away.

I like doing it because most people already hate Vega so this is the icing on the cake that just makes them lose their mind and do something silly… like get hit again.

YYYYYYYOWWWWWWW!!!

Gouken has a 3fr reversal safe taunt bait after (combo into) cr.hk in the corner. Really funny when it works from time to time…

After they worked so hard to get in on my sagat I throw them across the screen again and do taunt 5 (where he puts his chest out and laughs) before spamming some more tiger shots

Guile Shades, against Gief/Hawk players.
