Best Taunts:
Shulk - I'M REALLY FEELING IT!
Luigi - TEH SULLEN KICK OF DOOM!
Wario - TEH LAUGH OF A GLORIOUSLY TRIUMPHANT MAN!
Dr. Mario - The Up Taunt. It's like he's insulting his opponent silently.
EDIT: Forgot one. Captain Falcon - SHOW ME YA MOVES!
EDIT 2: Brawl Only. Sonic - YER 2 SLOOOOOOH!

Worst Taunts:
Idk.

I like alternating between Game & Watch's Up Taunt and Side Taunt after a really sweet kill, since they're basically the same taunt but in a different angle(?).

Luigi's down taunt of like the god of taunts. Have you ever heard of a taunt that does damage to others? Luigi comes in and it also spikes people and can be used to edge guard. You will NEVER get it past you once it happens to you.

As for best for looks, Doc's side B gets my vote. Something about him showing off his pill skills is awesome. It's also short so you can use it more than once if you want. (Also maybe a fact that he might be a better baller than you)

Worst? Mario's up taunt. Once you do it, say hello to punishes. It takes so long that a person can respawn and even charge his smash against you. A safe way to use this taunt is if your opponent is hurling into space.

Best: Luigi's casual kick of doom is fantastic
Worst: Sheik's side taunt looks really cool but makes the derpiest sound possible

Best: Luigi's spike. Show Me Ya Moves. Luigi plank. Falco "piece o' cake!", Kirby's dance
Worst: Captain Falcon up taunt (fire charge). Fox's because of that VA.

Best taunts: All of :rosalina:'s, :4megaman:'s and :4shulk:'s, :4myfriends:'s down and "Prepare yourself" taunt, :4falcon:'s "Show me your moves" obviously, :4duckhunt:'s side taunt, :4lucina:'s "Come at me" and the mask taunt, :4charizard:'s up taunt, :4pacman:'s Namco Roulette and side taunt, :4link:'s up and down taunt and :4zelda:'s side taunt.

Worst taunts: All of :4jigglypuff:'s and :4sonic:'s (can't stand those two really), :4bowser:'s down taunt (no idea why he does that), :4falco:'s side taunt (what happened to "Don't try me"), :4peach:'s side taunt (I really hate the way she dances and sings),:4zss:'s up taunt (I like her but the way she says "You're mine" makes her sound seductive) and worst of all, :4palutena:'s pole dancing taunt (since when did she became such a *****).

:4palutena:'s pole dancing taunt (since when did she became such a *****).
Palutena was largely pretty playful and taunting at times in Uprising. It's kind of odd to go that far but it kind of makes sense?

Best:
:rosalina:'s "Mh-hm"
:4lucina:'s " I cannot lose" (I think the pose is really cute.
:4shulk:'s Feeling it. Bonus points for catching 2 Shulks in one match and have them both feeling it at the start.
:4rob:'s Twisty Spins. I think they look cool. Also holding his Up B when the match ends looks like he's ascending to the heavens.
:4palutena: Pole dance. Best taunt. TENOUTTATEN.
:4robinm:'s "You're not ready" sounds like Pit's from Brawl.
:4zelda:'s Up Taunt.

Worst:
:4mario:'s stupid Grow taunt. I feel like it takes too long and leaves me mad vulnerable.
Don't like :4miibrawl:'s Down Taunt where he/she punches at the screen. just looks stupid for some reason.

All of Lucina's taunts. Everything is Lucina. She is amazing.:4lucina:

Urgh, I can't stand Wario, though. Just rubs me the wrong way.:snake:

On the matter of :4mario: up taunt being too long... rule #5 of the "Third Way" codex demands that Mario may finish his taunt unscathed. Anybody not abiding the codex is not worthy of participating in an honorable fight.

Best:

:4bowser: side and up.
:4lucario:up.
:4peach:side - mischievous laugh.

Worst:

:4bowser:down. Just...what is this. Bowser is not a comical relief character.
:4greninja:water fountain. He's not a comical relief character either.

Best ::4falcon: Moves must be showed.
Worst ::4mario: It's just too damn slow.
Oh also :rosalina:'s anything. Idk every time I for glory against a Rosalina they taunt like there's no tomorrow, and at this point if I see that taunt I just immediately hate you.

Did you guys know that :4greninja:'s fountain taunt does damage and can push people up? My friend found out when we were playing.

Best taunt: :4shulk:'s Now it shulk time, :4villagerf:'s dance taunt and :4falcon:'s show me your moves
Love/hate taunt: :4shulk:'s I'm really feeling it ( I like it but the memes are killing it for me)

hate taunts: :rosalina: the one she spin around (so boring to look at) :4mario: the grow taunt (too slow) and most of:4rob:taunts (very boring to look at.)

Best: King Dedede's crouch. Not only is it hilarious, you can use it in the middle of combat to spite people, and not get punished!

Worst: Charizard's taunts, especially down and side taunts. He basically just stomps. HE IS A FIERY DRAGON! YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN STOMP!

Opponent kills you, kill them while they do their taunt animation...

"Now it's Shulk Time!"

And steamroll from there.

Other Bests:
:4marth:Make everyone pay attention to you
:4megaman:Off to the next stage
:4robinf:Scale tipping intensifies

Okay Taunts: :4ness:

Only one taunt can be listed per character, the one I find the most notable(Unless I find 2 or 3 equal). I'll give them nicknames for the most part although they should still be obvious. This is my personal opinion

God Tier:
:4falcon:1. "Show me your moves!"
:4shulk:2. "I'm Really Feeling It!"
:4dedede:3. The Crouch
:4luigi:4. Another One Bites the Dust
:4robinm:5. Scale Tipper
:4palutena:6. Make It Rain

King Tier:
:4wiifit:7. All Taunts
:4megaman:8. Teleport of Shame
:4ness:9. OKAY!
:4kirby:10. Hi!
:4greninja:11. Hurtful Fountain
:4mario:12. Hat Tipper
:4drmario:13. Pill Tosser
:4wario:14. The Moon
:4marth:15. The Ones Where he Speaks Japanese
:4pacman:16. Namco Roulette
:4peach:17. Lalalalalala

Favorites:
-Captain Falcon's. Everything this guy does is memetic.
-Shulk's. Already gets a lot of memes.
-Ike's. Not that special, but he seems pretty badass there.
-Palutena's. Call me naughty.
-Wario's. The trolling value right there.
-Sonic's, Fox's, and Falco's (if we count Brawl).

Honorable mention goes to Duck Hunt's dog's iconic laugh, though I wish it made the old laugh sound from its game. Some nice trolling value there.

I can't think of the worst ones, though the silent character taunts aren't my favorite. Notice all characters I named speak expect Duck Hunt.

Best:

- Definitely all of :4shulk:'s taunts are my favorite.
- I also like spamming :4palutena:'s side taunt, lmao.
- :4lucina:'s down taunt should ACTUALLY have been an alternate costume for her IMO.
- :4falcon: down taunt because! ...No explanation needed.
- :4megaman:'s down taunt. Absolutely gives me that Megaman feeling. Especially since it reminds me of the Megaman anime. :]

Decent:
- :4dk:'s down taunt can be fun at times, especially when you're in a friendly and something weird happens, haha.
- :4ganondorf: up taunt. <3 that laugh.
- :4myfriends: side and down taunt, they just make him more badass than he already is.
- :4miisword: their poses in all their taunts make for cool pictures, so yeah. Pretty decent! :]
- :4wario: up taunt as well, especially when riding on his bike, lol.

Worst:
- :4ness: STOP THAT UP TAUNT.
- :4miibrawl: blegh that down taunt...
- :4pacman: that side taunt... I don't know.. It just bugs me..
- :4littlemac:side taunt... Rather boring.
- All of :4rob:'s taunts.. THEY'RE BORING.. AND THEY USED TO LET HIM FACE THE SCREEN. Now he looks away from the camera, but just barely. Annoys me so much.

Best? I got way too many favorites to choose just one.

Worst? That one's not so hard for me. Little Mac's side taunt is easily the worst taunt in the game.

Simply because it's barely even a thing. It looks like another idle animation. It's not cool. It's not funny. It's not annoying. It's not interesting. It's not appealing. It's not provocative. It's not special. It's not even a thing. Dude just moves in a slightly different way than he does while doing nothing. Pwagh.

Totally! I main G&W too and I do that and also like doing the Up A flag thing twice and then going to attack as a way of saying "Okay! You asked for it! Here I come!!!!".
