We needed this in case there's cheaters

An actual taunt, good work

Can we have good items on the workshop so they get in the game? The emporium:

another taunt to make people mad when you kill them YES PLEASE

doesnt seem overly animated to me








TF YOU MEAN NUH UH?>????!???!?

I would have expected more relaxed taunts but stuff like "Can it!" or any 'ridable' taunt, really excluding engineer taunts because they fit his character and make sense within the context of his character, even if it skirts the line of becoming self-parody to a degree) Are just way too far into the realm of fortnite, like the game is trying to appeal to children with how silly and wacky the actions they're performing are. The difference between a "Reserved" taunt and just straight up "Medic is driving an ambulance that he miraculously conjured out of thin air for a cheap gag. Get it? He's the doctor guy!! That's his whole character!"

There's a quote Funke said in his Death of an Artstyle video that's "There's a fine line between contextually comical and just stupid"

Hope that clears up any confusion

Of course the old tropes have been extremely laxed in the recent taunts added because a lot of people didn't notice or care about the original game's integrity and how the overanimated taunts astroturf over the pre-2010s themes of the game. I'm not a TF2 'purist', by any means like I'm not going to pretend pyro doing a hadouken is pertinent to "TF2's SOVL" or anything, it was a fun novelty since it felt pretty rare for games to reference other games, it wasn't just something expected which is my justification for "Why 'this' isn't okay but 'this' is". The amount of taunts in the game that are less taunts and more a reflection of the modern landscape of gaming and expected optional purchasable emotes

@setry

Overanimated means when the mercs are borderline parodying themselves. When the Pyro is too fruity and feminine, when the scout is animated like cuphead and moves like a string-bean. It's playing into the tropes TOO much. Instead of being reserved enough to capture their personalities in subtle ways it's like turning the scout into a Sonic the Hedgehog trope or Engineer into the cowboy trope or Spy into the Bourgeois/Provincial trope. I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody but I assume that's kind of in the ballpark of what they mean.

cont-

pay attention to how simple the animations of the older taunts are (kazotsky kick, conga, schadenfreude)

@๋Foster No idea where you noticed any overly animated frames here. All moves are slow and smooth. Compare it a few animations from Cheers! or Roar O'War taunt.

Would love if people for once went into detail on what "overanimated" means because the words has been used so much that it has lost all meaning at this point

Would be decent if it wasn't overly animated and was just the "nuh uh" gesture.

Also, why hasn't no one made a "fuck you" taunt where the mercs just flip you off?

Love seeing actual taunts

Thats good taunt. I would call it "denier" because memes are dying quickly these days sadly

Potential Description: Nuh uh. Nope. Nadda. Not one bit. Not even close.

>sassy pyro
chai tea means tea bro you're saying tea tea

Admit it, you guys made this taunt to have a reason to make sassy pyro

Hell yea!

This would definetly make me mad if i where taunted with this. Good job!

Could this be... an actual legitimate honest to god insult to another you use to Taunt someone?

Could this be... an actual taunt?

a little overanimated, but an otherwise hilarious taunt

I prefer this one. The motion of the hand is consistent, and the characters have more of their personal flair added afterwards.

Oh idiot me, lmfao.

My apologies, Setry. But still, I prefer your version more.

@Fox Read both submissions' descriptions

Isn't this a plagiarism since same submission already exists?

What do you mean "nuh uh?"

Much better than the slop you got in with the update, what a shame.

Best way to make people angry with taunt.

If someone did this after killing me, I would focus them the entire game.

Espero que entre Flowex! Você merece!

Boss I'm tired

an actual taunt for once hell yeah

Now THIS is a taunt. Perfect. And your version is way better than the other ones, the animations are less over the top and more normal looking. Excellent work

i adore the pyro version

"Doc C'mon Man!" Nuh Uh

why is pyro literally doing the "get a load of this idiot" meme lmao

Not overly animated, plus it's actually taunting a player. Really rooting for this one to be added!

This one's good, this could piss someone off
