Why don't people taunt more often

Hugo is the one worth taunting at every knockdown because he gets up so slow. Plus he has some decent wakeups, but not as bothersome as the shotos.

And you actually use SA3 Chun? No offense. I just stick with SA2 for the massive damage and the amount of links and super cancels it has.

I like to use Urien’s taunt after a successful Aegis Juggle and finishing it with s. Fierce. Just cause it’s like the ultimate " Screw You!" statement.

throw out aegis, guardbreak with taunt.

What they said about positioning.

I generally only use functional taunts, or after a match if I can’t get the extra hits in (chun on a lot of wins). Best moment was in a youtube video where TWICE Ken’s SA3 got stuffed by basketballs, one of those times killing him. Meaty basketball > wakeup SA3. :stuck_out_tongue:

The best taunts are the ones that make you the winner of the match.

Also, does anyone ever use Remy’s taunt? It’s so plain and it’s bonus sucks.

Nah, with Remy it’s more about using his corner rushdown and extremely fast juggles into flash kicks…his taunt is pretty much not worth the trouble.

I know that a lot of people use Dudley’s taunt after knockdowns. It’s one of the best taunts in the game…aside from Q.

uhh cause Chun-li yawns when she does her taunt. Bad enough she has a long ass taunt animation and then she just yawns over your abused body. (She has 3 random taunts)

Wow…didnt know people cared that much.

it really isn’t as useful as you think it is. and yes, a lot people are unaware that some characters personal action has a useful benefit, so they think it’s just an insult.

what do you mean it isn’t as useful? Would you rather defeat an opponent in 5 combos or three?

i choose three, hence the reason I taunt.

Remy’s taunt can’t be used in an actual fight. If you actually have enough time to perform Remy’s taunt without getting hit…your opponent should be forced to play Twelve for the next 10 matches.

or the urien glitch

i taunt by dashing over to the opponent then hitting b+MK. it’s like he’s letting a fart out.

oh… and if you Shippuu into the corner there should be plenty of time to taunt.

I’ll do it after a back throw but thats really about it unless it’s after a ko just to rub it in

I don’t taunt often when I play Ken. Usually I only taunt with Dudley and Twelve. Though if the other person starts taunting like crazy, then I do it too.

i can’t taunt w Twelve… i get lost :frowning:

I taunt for the bonus if I need it.

edit:
aw, what’d you edit for

'Cause I’m bored and this is a boring topic :lol:

Ken should only taunt when it is ideal to gain the bonus eg: after shippu (or certain srks against Chun).
However when you have no bar it usually makes more sense to wiff 3-4 cr mp for the meter while the opponent’s knocked down which still leaves you in prime offensive positioning.

for instance I definately wouldn’t taunt if was just a few wiffs away from “teh sW33t sP0t” where a blocked cr mk shippu wont super but a hit cr mk shippu will. It’s just so nice to walk back from your opponent while they are getting up only to hit them on wake up with a max range cr mk super that you don’t have to worry about hit confirming.
