I just tested it mid-battle: down-taunt defeats whirling leaps. I fact, they keep going after they hit the waterspouts. In this case, my friend went right off the edge.

Like, combo into shadow sneak? Definitely not. Dtaunt KB is vertical.
Only thing I can think of is covering ledge options. Dtaunt to get roll while shadow sneak to read regular getup/ledge attack. Even then, you have to input the shadow sneak ahead of time and they can always just jump and then hit you for being a pretentious fool.

Shieldstun increase! Can down taunt actually have uses now...?
Catch somebody standing next to the ledge with their shield out, and punish afterward...? I guess it really depends on when the taunt pokes through their shield. If it pokes through too early, you could get punished.

I was practicing in some friendlies yesterday and remembered this thread. I caught my opponent with the downtaunt and they were so shocked/confused by what just happened that I was able to follow up with an up-smash to take the stock! It put him on tilt so badly that I was able to come back from a 50% deficit to win the match!
Best moment of my day, so thank you for this thread ^_^

Okay, so... this may be the dumbest tech ever lol, but I was able to pull it off a couple times and it was incredibly satisfying.
I read through this topic and the topic about Slide Pivoting, and started thinking about putting them together, and was a bit surprised I didn't see that mentioned in either topic. Again there's probably 100 better options, but... it's awesome to be able to Slide Pivot into dtaunt lol. Adds mobility to slightly offset the startup for dtaunt, and nobody expects you to do THAT haha.
I was playing on FG the other day, and was losing by a decent amount to a Diddy... and then the Slide Pivot dtaunt "won me the game" haha. All I really got off of it was an uair, but I think it rattled my opponent because he started playing noticeably worse after being hit by the taunt. Was able to make a big comeback after that and win.
I don't know, I just think hitting with the taunt is kinda funny, but actually combining it with the Slide Pivot to use it as a quasi-legitimate approach option is downright hilarious lol.
(I'd post a video but I didn't record anything... but I'm sure none of you would have a problem replicating it yourselves.)

That's amazing. I'd never thought of using slide pivots...
