Replacing the "Stance Button" for a "Taunt Button"

[Peckapowa]

i like taunts but their could be more utility in this button....

how about the taunt is a combination of buttons??????

 

[Mechacide]

Why not just make the stance button the run button? I'm sure I'll get used to using block for run, but I think I'd rather have a separate button.

Or just give us the options of taunt and run under controller customisation.

 

[Barrogh]

lol so i can accidently hit the taunt and get fullcomboed. nah

Armorless character. Pressure. Meter is 100% filled... Oh wait, it was 99%. Too bad.

I agree that taunts, if implemented, should be assigned to combination of 3-4 buttons you won't press accidentally.

3D MK games had taunts. Those were usually like special moves, button-wise, and healed you. Havik's "asuratei !!!" neck-breaking move, for example.

I'd love to see this come back. As long as the special isn't tied to an input that could cost the match of course.

I see it. Sub-Zero freezes opponent. Taunts them. Then x-rays them so that they cannot breaker out of it.

Stance switch has always been pointless as far as I know. The only actual effect I've ever seen it have is making some combos drop if you're not facing the right direction.

Taunts would make more sense.

Taunts are ok, but its VERY important to make it so you can't cancel out of them too soon. It removes the whole point of taunt.

In KI, you can get out of your taunt pretty quick, and it generally just becomes a spaz-out button for trolls.

 

[ETC Mcfly]

YEAH!!!! the problem is that there are combos that work with the stance button (MK9 & Injustice)

 

[TaffyMeat]

Remember JC saying "Cmon don't hate" as you switch from xray to babality. I want taunts like that.

 

[Mechacide]

I like taunts that are useful, such as Bryan Fury's taunt from Tekken.

 

[MKF30]

Hmm, MK DA again huh? I remember taunts for some characters granting slight energy boost and damage boosts. I don't know, if it meant ditching the switch stance button I'd be fine with it sure I guess.

I noticed today that in a gamespot video Cassie does a salute, but is interrupted by a a flying Ferra @ 45 seconds

Good spot! There's a chance it could have been a long startup to a move, but it seems more likely it's a taunt.

If it is, it's one HELL of a taunt because Cassie gets full meter right after she does it.

I wouldn't get too excited. The devs play in debug mode so they can replenish their meter whenever they need to. Was probably just a coincidence.

It's one hell of a coincidence though.

Although debug mode on the E3 build that's like asking for problems no?

 

[Barrogh]

Not really. Watch videos (those among first gameplay videos) a bit more, you'll see that fighters are back to full meter for no reason all the time.

They should just take out stances altogether, especially since they can't get their shit together and hitsphere still resolve along the Z-axis (in 3D), resulting in stance specific shit.

Nice one! Some music also started during this move.

 

[supernumian]

Stance switch is already a taunt.
I see a lot of people online that use it as a troll tool.

I'm more into a friendly state when I go to play some match online so, I prefer a better use of the stance switch button.

 

[John Grizzly]

YEEEEEESSSS!!!!

I seriously hate the fact that INJ doesn't have a taunt button. There's so many online ragequitters I get paired up with multiple times that I would love to taunt the crap out of.

It's hard to taunt rage quitters when they've already disconnected on you. =/

 

[REDRUM]

yes please cause then at least it will have some use...

 

[EndofGameBoss]

I'm all for a taunt button lol. I like that in KI you can move around after a round a tbag your opponent lol.
