I don’t get what’s with the fuss over taunting. taunting has been known to cause hype at some matches, and for me the best part about marvel IS the hype, especially when it comes down to the wire. “a real match”, if you will. lol. sometimes people just take the game too damn seriously. I think there’s nothing wrong about taunting when you win, but I can’t stand it mid-match. it just comes off as disrespectful.
Shoutouts to the guy who ragequit with the like 30-137 record and was still Fighter rank. I didn’t even get to show you all my moves!
i heard the reason you cant do stuff like taunt after a match is because the game stops recording the inputs after a KO so it doesnt fuck up the next round replay, since its not actually recording the matches, just the exact moments the buttons were pressed so it can replicate the matches via the game engine. not because its disrespectful or anything. and the fact that marvel has NO replays, but allows all sorts to be pressed at the match end would support this argument.
Ahhhh~ Thats some good reasoning!
Times when it’s fun to taunt: when you’re playing Haggar as your last character and chasing around somebody who has really good movement options (Zero, Trish, etc). It’s hilariously appropriate after somebody leads you around like a dog for more than ten seconds.
As a Haggar user myself, this is too true. :lol:
Nothing wrong with taunting in the game, it’s here for a reason; taunt all you want. I just think it’s kinda loses it’s point when it’s overused or if the opponent barely squeaked out the win and then immediately leaves the room afterwards to avoid a rematch.
Or if certain forum posters come off as total tools who yank aggressively at their genitalia in glee every time they taunt/teabag(seriously who over the age of 12 does this? It looks less like a teabag and more like a seizure)/get mail online.:razzy:
I don’t get how its hilariously appropriate unless you’re the one winning. Cuz if you’re the one losing and you taunt you just seem like a tool to me cuz you just got led around for more then 10 seconds.
If you just quit chasing and taunt because someone is playing a good zoning game against you, to me that just says “I quit”, lol.
I’m the exact opposite. Mid match is perfectly fine. If its mid combo, (Sentinel being the easiest) then hey, you’re taking a chance of dropping the combo; no biggie. Some full screen zoned out situation, meh, less dangerous than just standing there. I can punish it, use the time for positioning, or keep where I’m at if its a bait.
Think about those hype matches. Every single one, they happened mid match.
Used mid match, it’s a tool. Used after the match is over, its being a tool.
^ agreed. i want you guys to notice however that half of you provoke the very angry messages you complain about. Someones clearly angry, having a hard day and realizes "shit i just wanted to win, its best i back off before i play stupid or say something ridiculous to a person clearly having fun or who is clearly better. im gonna turn my game off or just watch netflix etc"
then some douche messages you "lol i win cuz im betterz"
think about that, i don’t rage quit and whenever i get sent angry messages i usually have the tact to respond to them in a meaningful way, or just tell the person they are right and move on.
yes your feelings are hurt because your number isn’t as high, or they take the game too seriously, its up to you to look the other way.
you’re also not very cool for being the guy to think you’re awesome for provoking someone into sendign you angry messages. it makes you look like an ass. just stop.
someone rage quit against me in mvc3 and im about the worse person at this game on this forum.
In fact i’ll be the first to send a positive message. i lost 22 times against someone yesterday but loved every match because it wasn’t simply someone using touch of death combos or spamming they were actually playing with me reacting and learning each time. it started with me losing all 3 characters to me getting him down to his last fairly consistently.
I only taunt against turtles and people i play against often who know im not being a douche. when someones running away to guard while im standing in place waiting for an attack after being blocked for about 10 seconds i’ll simply taunt to provoke attacks.
theres also a very distinct difference between turtles and snapping turtles as i call them. a snapping turtle only counters, thats fine with me but just guarding when im standing in place is offensive, and i usually message them saying “i only taunted because you were guarding while i was standing in place” essentially im screaming attack me.
Haggar’s taunt is basically him shaking his arms and yelling while sounding really annoyed. You try getting in on Storm with Haggar unassisted and see what you feel like doing.
good point. I guess it just comes down to the situation the person taunting is in. I don’t really taunt at all, so it never really occurred to me to use it as a tool for baiting stuff in this game. always thought it was really unsafe. in SF4 though, I’ve seen a lot of taunts being used during the opponent’s dizzy.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the individual who has a problem with seeing their opponent’s taunt… is the one with the problem. Relax gaiz, IT’S NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK like 1/2 the previous page tried making it out. Grow up and use that taunt button knowing you can do it for fun and would probably never taunt someone in a real-life fight. The same people who think people have lost their balls for using it don’t seem to have the balls to use it themselves like it’s some anti-sportsmanship button. It’s just a part of the game, not a direct reflection of the person you’re playing against.
Oh, you’re one of those. You sincerely believe that “acting like a douchbag” and “BEING a douchebag” are two different things. Sorry kid, they’re not.
You were TRYING to act like a dick. I asked you to stop acting like a dick. You continued to be a dick. You decided to announce being a dick here. You got called on being a dick.
And now all of a sudden, its the other people that have the problem.
Suck it up princess.
P.S. This isn’t a personal attack. It’s just part of the forums, not a direct reflection of you or me.
I get a message like “u suck” being beat once and then they quit. I’m not feeling salty about it bc its only one game online with lag in players matches. ppl need to realize online is to level up. But if I do somewhat choose a more serious team and beat them. I get messages like “U suck. Cheap sent and ammaterasu.” Even though I didn’t even use sent for most of the match. I swear I get this so much. I hardly use the assists. They didn’t even past my first character. They just see sent or phoenix or the dog and immediately feel like thats an excuse for losing. When they do past my first two chars, I would think they complain about x factor sent. If I wanted to get an easy victory then I’d use sent first and bait them to push a button.
Taunting is the most overpowered button in the game.
Player match, trying to finish Ladies Night challenge. I snap in a Phoenix, and like most scrubby Phoenix players, he holds upback and A2. He raw tags to Wesker, I block, bitch-slap in Phoenix again and taunt (unsafely, at that). Apparently, taunting disables your opponent’s controls, pretty cool.
“taunts ??? fuck off”
lol.
.
Don’t know if anyone understands Spanish here, but after these two games I got “chigo tu madre maricon pussy” after playing a few games in a room with three guys from Mexico. I didn’t even send a message back. Lots of neutralize, hidden missiles and phoenix shots from this player btw.
Music is turned off so if anyone understands what they’re saying, let me know lol.
What would Jesus do??
Here we go again - taunt button = “TRYING to act like a dick.” If you’ve invested oh so much of your feelings towards being taunted, then I can’t help you. You can’t possibly think you can tell me how to play this game, you being on the losing end. Because you lost, you only feel that way and in effect you expect me to play a certain way when I’m dominating you? If that’s not being a “princess” I honestly don’t know what is. I may have misread your message as you being a sore loser, but at least you could see that I’m not taunting for your poor sake.
But I hope for your sake we don’t play online again some time. At least one of us is a) sure to beat the other person, b) sure how to get underneath the other person’s skin with petty things such as taunts, and c) enjoy it while it lasts. That person is probably not going to be you. Toodles. Why would I need to “try” being a dick when you’re always approaching me with your legs wide open? I’m not being a dick… just putting the pussy back in it’s place… and I don’t need a taunt button to do that.
It says: “Motherfcker fggot p*ssy”
