Character Taunts/Crowd relations

[Kereokacola]

I'm not sure if taunts have been discussed to this level, but I wanted to suggest something that I think hasn't been mentioned (to this extent, anyway.)

I think the taunts should get a makeover. Instead of a taunt that virtually does nothing (with the exception of Luigi), I think the taunts should be expanded so that they prove useful. For example, let's say Peach does a taunt that can heal 1% off of her current percentage (maybe she blows a kiss to the audience or something), or when Mario grows large, he can temporarily walk around and stomp enemies. The possibilities are endless.

I also think the taunt could be a move to increase your audience approval as well. Maybe the audience can choose a favorite and a less-favorite (and the less-favorable fighter who is doing the worst can get a tomato thrown at them every once in awhile.) I think with the audience on your side, can perhaps increase your speed or stats.

Instead of using this in regular matches, it could be a separate mode?

I think the audience idea is a bit off. You're getting a bit Paper Mario here.

But the taunt's are spot on. I would love to see more effects with them ( But with Mario able to grow big at will is a bit much) I mean, Young Link's taunt took so long to pull off, and you didnt get anythign out of it.

The Lon Lon milk could also serve as a healing effect, as it did in Ocarina of Time.

Yeah, they should all do something useful instead of just looking cool/******** for a few seconds.

I like the possibilty of healing yourself a little but it would be stupid to make them into attacks (Luigi's an exception) I think they should leave them the way they are and just make some characters have better looking taunts

Someone needs a Super taunt.
