Do you need to complete a taunt with a character to get the benefit from it?
BTW - Nobody has talked about the main reason taunts are in the game - To taunt people! Some taunts have a greater psychological edge than others, I would have to say Ken’s is the most psychologically damaging.
There is a deadly player at our arcade that will taunt after every round he wins, without exception. Not because he is arrogant but just because it’s effective psychological gameplay against sensitive opponents.
Ken’s taunt rocks! it’s the most arrogant. you can say the taunts of the twins are too, but Ken’s is just flat out the epitome of cockiness.
i dunno about the others, but with Q, as soon as the screen shakes you’ll get the defense bonus regardless of animation finish. got that from Streak’s Q vid.
Q’s stomp is my personal favorite, and surely most Q players as well.
I like taunts with animations which ends really quickly. Long enough to make them think they could super jump and hit you, but not long enough for them to actually hit you. Ken’s and Necro’s taunt is a good example. I.E. Taunt with Ken and EX Shoryuken =P
Chun’s yawn (and it’s 3 other variations) is cool and all, but it’s too slow, man. not as bad as Remy’s, but it’s still risky putting that out. Makoto walking can punish that :lol:.
not as insulting as Ken’s :lol:. Chun is easier on the eyes than Ken, so i’m a little biased :lol:. but i’m still sticking to Ken’s as the best and most likely to piss someone off.
