Anatomy and animation??
I am in no way, shape, or form trying to sound rude or unhelpful, but I do study up a bit when it comes to anatomy. I feel that the way scout's elbow faces and the way his back arcs would be very uncomfortable and doesn't look very realistic. Having him sit a tad more and resting his hand on his knee would make taunt a little more natural.

Again, in no way am I trying to be offensive, I am just reflecting based on what I personally think needs improvement. The mount/ jump part is very choppy and could use a little more smoothing, if you know what I mean. The animation in general is pretty decent, but I wouldn't consider it done. I know I am not currently a taunt animator, and that I am in no means a professional, or even a successful animator, but I hope you will take into consideration what I have mentioned. I really like this taunt and think it fits perfectly with Scout's personality, so keep it up.

i agree here, the taunt could be made slower too.

Not bad but I think there should be a funny animation of him falling off the bat as he tries to get off.

If only there were a way to make it work like the spycrab taunt where there is a chance he will screw up the dismount and fall on the floor.

Ok not THAT would be pretty cool

Yeah, I agree. The end bit seemed very sped up, to an unatural amount, and maybe adding a part in the loop where he does another guesture would be nice.

As a matter of fact, I could help animate if need be. I'd be happy to do my own take on this animation if you (the creator) would like.

@MEGAF00T If you have time you want to contribute then I'd be more than happy to let you have a copy of the .dmx, but please keep in mind I may not go forward with any changes/additions you make (If I do though, I'd of course list you as an official contributor)

That's perfectly alright if you don't listen to me, it's your taunt and I completely understand if you want to do your thing.
