Taunts, yo

Jack White

The Clown Prince of Crime
They're confirmed for this game so it's in whether you like it or not. We only know of one so far from Cyborg where he says "BOOYAH!"
 

Spinky

Neutral Skipper
I'm all for taunts. I faced this scrub on SFxT once who decided to taunt me, then he granted me a free combo and got bodied. It was awesome.
 

Killzone

Warrior
I wouldn't mind taunt. I like to play as Scorpion, because of his block animation :) Nah, JK.
Taunts would be even more interesting, if they would boost some stats like they do for some characters in SF 3rd Strike.
 

Pterodactyl

Plus on block.
I want cancelable taunts, so I can work then into gameplay.


People really don't know how good taunts are when it comes to mind games.


Here are my ideas for taunts.

Black Adam:
1. *stops floating and dusts off shoulders* You are beneath me, mortal.
2. You have my pity.
3. I promise, mortal, this will not end slowly for you (knuckle joint crack).





:O
 
Taunts need to be in. Nothing better than playing keep away with El Fuerte screaming VIVA MEXICO!!!! every 3 seconds. Really pisses the opponent off and can sometimes get them rustled enough to let me land a tostada press :D
 
With Jokers trait recently being revealed as a parry that buffs him after connection, it seems like his game could be based around pissing people off. Could you imagine playing keep away and taunting with his maniacal laugh only to parry one of their moves when they get close and him saying something like "Jokes on you! HAHAHAHAHAH". I am soooo hype for Injustice!

Coming from the SF community i wouldn't mind taunts. They either fire someone up or completely destroy their confidence in the fight. A well timed taunt can be fatal at times :)

Slave to burgers
I am all for taunts. I honestly missed them when I made the move from SF to MK. And I personally find tea bagging to only fit in MVC games... since that game is full of ultra "cheap" tactics either way.

(I say cheap, cause I cant play that game for SH*T)
