Taunt: Difference between revisions

'''Smash Taunting''' is a taunt available only to [[Solid Snake|Snake]] and the ''[[:Category:Star Fox Series|Star Fox]]'' characters. This technique helps the player communicate with the player's allies.

The player must choose Snake and play [[Shadow Moses Island]]. Once in the stage, the player should do a split-second down taunt. Then, if he is not interrupted, he will establish communication with [[Roy Campbell]], [[Mei Ling]], or [[Otacon]], who begin talking about the fighters, similar to how players are able to obtain information during boss fights using the radio in the [[:Category:Metal Gear Solid Series|''Metal Gear Solid'' series]]. If the player does this while playing against Falco, they will establish communication with [[Slippy Toad]] from the ''Star Fox'' series. If Snake is KO'd during a conversation, the person on the other end will shout Snake's name, similar to during the Game Over screens of the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series.

===''Star Fox'' Smash Taunt===

In this one, the player must choose [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], or [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], select the [[Lylat Cruise]] stage and do a split-second down taunt.

The characters who make appearances here are Fox, Falco, [[Peppy Hare|Peppy]], Slippy, Krystal, Wolf, Leon, and Panther.

Because the dialog is staged as if allies are observing the fight from the spaceship, the communication always excludes the one who is engaged in the fight. Strangely, whenever Wolf uses his Smash Taunt, Fox never appears in any of his conversations, while Falco does.

It should be noted that when the spaceship warps as someone is executing a [[Final Smash]], or if the [[Dragoon]] appears, the communication fails.

In the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' [[Corneria]] stage, the player can start the same set of communications that existed in the previous version of the stage; however, as only Fox and Falco could initiate these communications in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', only Fox and Falco can initiate these communications in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as well.
