Title: Taunt ideas
Post by: fromhell on October 18, 2011, 05:08:00 PM
Coming up with taunt animations for characters is almost as hard as the characters themselves. Taunting expresses character sometimes as well as the chatlines, and most of the characters have generic LEFT ARM POWER! taunts. Let's break some of that 'left arm power' creative block together!

Green is a new idea.

Angelyss
...

Arachna
Spit shines left hand...with WEB.

Assassin
A knife comes out of nowhere (back?), grabs it in the air and quickly stabs lefthanded

Ayumi
Giggles w/ hand ...and maybe call you a baka (GratituousJapanese)

Beret
Flexes left bicep which suddenly bulges (scale bone weight)

Gargoyle
...

Kyonshi
A bow

Liz
...

Major
...

Merman
FINS GET BIG AN HUGE, a bulge of water goes from the torso working suddenly out the mouth spewing water everywhere. because he is the game

Neko
Arms downward, face up, "NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN~~~~~~~!"

Penguin
...

Sergei
...

Smarine
...

Sorceress
Takes out a violin and plays a ditty

Sarge(Grism)
Throat slit.

Skelebot
Arm does a 360 head does a 720 torso does a 1080

Tony
...

Angelyss: Butt slap? A spinning jump? A small flight?
Gargoyle: A reference to Mr. Firebrand should be necessary (?) J/K aside, I don't know, he does a small jump and uses his wings to levitate while laughing?
Liz: Uses his tongue to catch an imaginary insect and then uses his hand to do a circle gesture in his stomach?
Major: "Mission accomplished" MK9!Sonya-like.
Penguin: A bit of humour, the peak closes "I cannot see a damn" and he does an effort to open them again?
Sergei: Same as Major?
Tony: Checks his gun?

Not in my brightest day, I know. -.-

Liz and Gargoyle: I can see either "eating" a gib-heart.

Penguin: takes out a laptop and types something.

How about either a laptop or maybe just a "smart" phone, and as he types he says, "I'm blogging this" or something similar?  :)

Sergei: 'In Soviet Russia, shooter kills YOU' while pointing his gun at his victim.

Penguin should keep the 'ownage' phrase because it's a real taunt, possibly while doing a chicken dance.

Edit: Sergei's you should be exclaimed.
