What do the taunts do?

can someone tell me what how the taunts power up each of the characters? thanks.

akuma - rises attack and stun

alex - rises power up to 4 times if you hold it can rise to a set limit

chun li - when she yawns stun recover quick
cracks her neck her power rises on all attacks except throws
pats her should gets a defense increase
arches her back gets defense and power increase

Dudley - attack increase

elena - stun increase, use up to 4 times

hugo - attack increase on everything but throws, if you hold it it increases throw attacks, any other time you get a defense bonus

ibuki- attack increase if the leapfrog lands

ken - attack increase on everything but throws

makoto - first part gives attack increase and stun gauge recovery, second gives more of the same, third part, gives more stun recover

necro - attack increase on all but throws

oro - stun guage lowered slighty, hold it down to gradually lower his stun guage

q - defense bonus works up to 3 times

remy - increases stun damage, works up to 4 times

ryu - increases stun recovery, works up to 3 times

sean - if basketball hits get extra stun damage, basketball has to hit for it to work

twelve - disappears

urien - attack power increase, if it hits an opponent you don’t get the extra power

yang - attack increase, throws recieve one more point of damage

yun - spinning hat hits on ever rotation, full attack increase for all specials, and a minor increase for throws,normal, and special attacks, hold it down, which gradually increases his overall attack power taunting up to eight seperates has the same effect

thanks alot, appreciate it.

Being relatively new and usually alone in playing 3s (I know, shut up ;_:wink: I’d just like to vouch for Q’s taunt (or a triplet of taunts to be exact) to be the best-est-est-est thing ever. :xeye:

keep in mind that when you use taunts, they only last for one combo (if they’re attack increases)

if they’re defense increases like Q’s 3 taunts and Hugo’s taunts, they last for the entire round. Q must stomp the ground in order for the taunt to qualify for a defense bonus and Hugo’s taunt has to fully finish animating for the defense bonus to qualify.

Urien’s taunt cant kill anyone except for urien.

And sean’s taunt hits yiwang in the balls. Yes 5star. That’s you.

if i recall correctly, in Streak’s Q vid, he mentions that as long as the screen shakes, Q’s bonus comes into play–the animation doesn’t have to finish. i’ll check again to make sure.

:rock:

that’s what I said. I said tat Q’s taunt has to stomp the ground. meaning, the ground has to shake. The ground wont shake if he doesnt stomp
