Noobish?
Heck No! I like the taunts because they give the character a little extra personality.
So with three, i can't wait to use them all.

Luigi is a prime example. Awesome

I taunt after each AND every kill. Even if I don't kill them, I just automatically press up on the d-pad when it seems like I landed a killing move. Ganon's laugh always gets to people. Frustration makes you play worse, so taunting can be useful.

Best example of a mindgame is Young Link's taunt. You send out a boomerang, start taunting, your opponent thinks it'll take forever, the boomerang comes back and interrupts it, you get a free hit while they're charging you.

If you don't taunt, that's fine. Though, it might be helpful. You just have to know when.

Taunting makes the match all the more fun. In any 1 on 1, it press it right when I K.O. them, just out of habit.

Plus, when you can pull off the infamously long Young Link one, you can really brag.

...I wonder how these new "add in words for wifi play" taunts will work out? Will they be censored?

Lol I love to taunt. Its good for mind games. The only people who think its for noobs are people who aren't that good but trying to get better and look at the way they used to play as noobish (i.e. a lot of taunting used.)

I taunt right after I get the killing blow, or if I thought I did.

Besides, taunting in Brawl looks alot more fun, and pretty funny too.

Mario's spinny death fighters stance makes me laugh.

I still wonder what text I'll set to my online taunts.

There are 4 right? Hmm, it's gonna be a hard choice >.<

Taunting when you take away one of your opponent's stocks, or just do a particularly impressive move, can boost your confidence. I like the new system of three taunts!

The ultimate fighter insult is to taunt in a situation where your opponent could punish you, but you know they won't because the match up until that point has made the scared of you.

I vote no.

In the Smash games, when you KO someone, taunting them is a great way of saying "You can't beat me!".

Just remember that there is a time and place to do so, what with hazards and everything...

This topic sucks. Taunting isn't noobish unless you get hit during the process, or you decide to taunt rather than charging up needles/charge beam/punch etc.

Taunting is hilarious if you do it right. Isai and Mach Dash put taunting to good use.

Well not all taunts are useless cuz the dojo site says that you can use them to change from Samus to ZSS during battle instead of the shield button trick. IDK if it's vice versa or not though but i'm hoping it is. :chuckle:

I think it is completely awsome to taunt, especialy if you are really kick *** at the game. If you can do some major *** kicking and find the right times to throw a taunt in, it will make your fight even more cool. Especialy if you record it and put it up on the net.

I like doing it. And you can send messages with taunts like this.

Luigi's Final Smash: FEEL THE WRATH OF COCAINE!

Mario Hat Taunt: "See, Is'a Empty! -From Smash Dash

Snake's Final Smash: Here's to show you that, "I have to keep it tight." Massaging helps. :laugh:
