Speaking of which, there's one more character with a massive issue in their taunts that wasn't even mentioned in this video - Pyra/Mythra. Like, the taunts are all pretty damn solid, but why on Earth does Rex not flinch when they get hit during it??? Them feeling each other's pain is literally a core story element of Xenoblade 2!

I just wish they'd kept the voice lines from Sonic's Brawl taunts. Honestly, "You're too slow!" and "Come on, step it up!" are so much more fitting to his personality. I mean sure, they at least kept the "Come on!" part of that one, but completely replacing the other with "Sonic speed!" was a huge mistake. I legitimately cringe every time I hear it. Literally one of the first mods I installed was fixing that taunt's dialogue.

It would’ve been so cool and unique if for Joker’s down taunt specifically (the one where Joker turns away from the camera with his gun in his hand and poses), it could cycle through each member of the Phantom Thieves in order of joining the party to pose with Joker. The first time the button is pressed can be with Morgana as usual, the next time it can be with Ryuji, the third can be with Ann, the fourth can be with Yusuke, the fifth can be with Makoto, the sixth can be with Futaba (outside the final smash), the seventh can be with Haru, the eighth can be with Akechi while Joker looks back angrily and finally the ninth time can be Joker posing with Sumire while smiling back at her and then the cycle loops back to Morgana the next time the down taunt button is pressed. Plus it can be a reference to the confidant menu in P5 where Joker is looking back at the confidant in the menu screen.

Ayyy happy to see all the hard work pay off! Super happy with how all of these came out! And the video turned out great!

Idea: This may go against your moral code, but K.Rool's down taunt could be spiced up a bit. It is LITERALLY THE SAME as the down tilt, do at least something more could be good

Simon's whip was unexpected

Squirtle swag

Nick should definitely make videos using these custom taunts in some of his other videos. Also the dark samus disapproval is the greatest thing I seen

If you do a part 2 to this, PLEASE add donald and goofy to one of Sora's taunts.

If you decide to make a part 2 or even a series out of this, I definitely recommend Bowser for the next part. They did him dirty with his basic ass taunts. Literally one of them is just a teetering animation

Amazing video~ Daisy's "hot stuff" taunt would be giga perfect. There's even a mod out there where this taunt was implemented and the longer you held it the steam from Daisy's ass would actually ignite and explode and do damage, even kill at high percentage! I'm such a big Daisy fan it would be so sick and funny to see this in game but at the very least a "HI I'M DAISY" line would help her personality and references be seen 🧡

Simon making DK get back to the fields with dis one 💀

I wouldv'e liked if one of wolf's taunt lines was his "you're good but I'm better", feel like that would have added a bit more character

Maybe not a taunt per se, but Joker needs something similar to Palutena’s guidance with the Phantom Thieves. The chemistry that the Phantom Thieves have is great and hearing a new interaction for each character in the game would be amazing!

That Link taunt is the absolute pinnacle. No others compare. Wish I could show this video to Smash devs so they could include all of these taunts

I know I'm going to sound like such a nerd but is anyone else a tiny bit disappointment that Snake doesn't use 2 fingers to point during 1:36

This video is really well edited and the animations look so good

7:36 Dark Samus somehow shifted her thumb put it down, you can see that her arm doesn't twist at all.

The fact that you (or someone at least) actually animated these is really neat! A lot of these I would take over the official taunts even though they naturally aren't at the same level of polish.

My favorite Shulk line: "The Bionis and the Mechanis"

Man I can’t believe you referenced Zomba in links new taunt! Truly a great homage to a staple of the scene

Docs taunt is my fav as a huge fan of that puzzle series it shocks me that that isnt his normal taunt

I'm still baffled that "Hi I'm Daisy!" wasn't chosen. Like... yeah I know that one would be INSANELY annoying when spammed... but its an iconic line. Would be like not letting Waluigi say, "Waluigi Time" 😔 Also... Jason Griffith > Roger Craig Smith for Sonic every time man. He just captured Sonic's cocky nature so much better.

Impressive animation. I would personally add a pikachu taunt that flashes between Raichu and back, basically temporally using the thunderstone. Could be a neat idea with a little flash.

Reverting what Sonic says during his down taunt and side taunt back to what he said in Brawl would be awesome, I would abuse Sonic saying "You're Too Slow" and "Come On, Step It Up" so much. This type of discussion is a true rabbit hole for gamers, and I love it.

I can imagine a few Taunt ideas Dunk hunt can have one where the dog is chasing his own tail while the duck is being super annoyed. King K Rool can have a taunt that makes him say "Ah! Thank You!" From the Dk64 Boss fight. The Miis can have one where they're Bodies gets replaced with the bodies from Wii Sports. And of Course give Dedede a laugh that makes him use his iconic anime laugh.

How dare you not bringing back the "you're too slow"

DUDE these animations are AWESOME. Daisy is SMOKING hot, 10/10 vid

I loved Wolf's taunts from Brawl, so thank you for bringing them back. ❤

Awesome! That Ganondorf one was my favorite! Honestly, the taunts in Ultimate generally feel so generic and sterile. I'm curious if there are actually mods on like Gamebanana to change character taunts! That would be amazing! I'd love to see just silly or rude taunts like Incineroar flipping you off or something. 😆

Damn this was extremely well done!

5:23 Cool thing is, Wolf’s voice actor actually stayed the same in both Brawl and Ultimate. They unfortunately didn’t keep any of his previous takes other than the howl, but it’s understandable since they wanted him to sound completely different. Down taunt was a crime though.

A great taunt would be doc diagnosing you with a Skill issue, he just pulls out a clipboard, and if you use the camera you can look at the paper and it just says "Diagnosis: Skill Issue"

4:20 This Taunt for Zelda is Amazing! It is So Cool! So Well! I Love This Version So Much! Upgrade for other games where it was "okay?", but the Ultimate Version is My Utter Favourite!

Putting “Cocky” and “Baller” in one sentence is just too perfect

Man, I'm surprised Nick was able to come up with ideas for references for gaming characters. Was he actually a gamer this whole time?

Georges taunt should be a piplup coming to his side and saying "looking cool, George!"

Nicks taunt would probably be him just screaming DAISY!

Another GREAT olimar taunt would be holding a taunt button to have him lay down, then the pikmin pick him up and start moving around

Okay that Link taunt is actually a genius idea! It’s something he’s been doing since Wind Waker. Hope that becomes official in the next game

THe Link taunt would be so toxic to use after a shield break. Imagine someone breaks your shield and then Link whip's out his camera and takes a selfie with you.

I was just thinking about making the taunts have their own kind of effects, like how some deal damage, we could have them heal or buff certain stats.
