Wing Commander.

 

[Schryver]

Starwhal

 

[VoxPop]

I usually pick guys like Silva/Diaz/McGregor in EA UFC just so I can taunt and beat the shit out of them every time they come lunging in.

 

[Rean]

Devil May Cry

didnt uncharted 2 have some subway themed taunts?

Yep.

 

[Teggy]

Heroes of the Storm.

Is that the technoviking?

 

[Summer Haze]

The Last of Us MP. I always bow when I get revived, gifted something, get saved by another player, and when I have an intense shootout with an enemy player which ends with me winning.

 

[Elitist1945]

Uncharted multiplayer

 

[CountAntonius]

H1Z1 wins. All the F keys are dedicated to emotes that can be bought, unboxed, traded and sold. There are some pretty good ones...
Like this "beg" one.

[TimeEffect]

Souls/Bloodborne.

You just have to love how invaders and strangers ALWAYS emote. It's just so uncharacteristically honourable of online gamers.

 

[Leunam]

Guilty Gear has an emote that works as a taunt or as a show of respect. Taunting builds your opponents meter.

 

[itchyass86]

Every single entry in the Devil May Cry series.

Except friggin'

Spoiler

DmC, even missing in the definitive edition

Happy that someone said it. Surprised it took so long for Devil May Cry to get mentioned.

 

[galv]

Apart from the obvious fighting game/MOBA, here's a couple of unmentioned games...

Postal 2 dedicated piss button.

And of course Blood Dragon's middle finger.

 

[Steel]

Starcraft 2 actually added unit emotes, like dancing. It can get pretty hilarious.

 

[Vitet]

 

[The Spoony Hou]

Fatal Fury 2, one of the earliest that I know of.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Destiny almost completely killed the shooter teabag by including dancing. Going back to Halo and not being able to express ourselves aside from rubbing our crotches on the ground is heartbreaking.

 

[Bold One]

Destiny Wins!!!

 

[Zyrox]

didnt uncharted 2 have some subway themed taunts?

That was Uncharted 3.

 

[Beaniedude]

TF2 taunt kills are the best.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Taunting is a great way to lure your opponent into a combo breaker in Killer Instinct.

 

[the chris]

The taunt in God Hand would upset the enemies and increase the difficulty of the game.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I like the Carlton dances in Uncharted 3 and Juri's laugh in SFIV.

 

[SixMachine]

My favorite taunt (even though I suck with him)

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Namby pamby.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Sengoku basara gives you meter for taunting at low health if you have the right stuff equipped

 

[impact]

3rd Strike is the game where taunts have the most meaning

 

[Catalix]

Devil May Cry

Every time I see this gif I just have to let it loop a few times over. It looks badass as fuck.

I've never played DMC4, but I'm just gonna assume it's hard as hell to pull off those cocky manuevers.

 

[Kolma]

Taunting in Runbow

guest characters say stuff when you taunt.
Ex: A.R.I.D. from The Fall says "You're Irrelevant"

 

[Phyla]

 

[wheeplash]

I personally think League of Legends has the widest, most interesting array on taunts:

Just an example.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Is that the technoviking?

Indeed it is. There are other dance taunts based on "popular" dances too, like:

[matrix-cat]

The Jetstream Sam DLC in Revengeance turns taunting into a gameplay mechanic. Enemies that see you taunt will get super aggressive and start hitting much harder, but they'll also take much less damage so you can cut through them like tissue paper as long as you're on top of your game. You can even do it to bosses.

 

[Crayolan]

TF2

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

TF2!

The Demoman version is my absolute favourite.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Skullgirls have Taunts that can alter a few Specials and Supers. Peacocks taunt automatically turns her next Heavy Item drop into Tenraiha.

Also, Beowulf supers become more epic the more he taunts and hypes up the crowd

Also he has this....as a attack lol.

Elizas extends one of her supers I believe, it looks pretty damn cool.

Not sure if everyones taunt alters their gameplay.

 

[Catalix]

The Last of Us: Left Behind
Ellie can taunt in the Halloween shop, and each mask has two different actions. I especially like that it uses a blended animation system, so you can walk and emote at the same time.

Had to make my own bootleg gifs because I can’t find any video footage of it online. Most players seem to rush right through that part, but it's got tons of cool little easter eggs like this.

 

[Platy]

I absolutly love how most taunts in SF3 do actual gameplay stuff

Sean works as an anti-air
Dudley hits you
Makoto makes your next move stronger
ibuki changes side of the screen

and things like that

 

[twobear]

dota 2 has several, this is the best

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Dark Souls

Well What Is It is the best emote.

 

[Syril]

Not sure if everyones taunt alters their gameplay.

Big Band's taunt adds an extension to his next Level 1 Super.

 

[UltimaWeapon]

Came here hoping to see this. Was not disappointed.

 

[Nev]

League of Legends has at least 2 taunts per character (some have 10 even), with different animations and lines of dialogue (some of which change depending on the champions in front of you.) It also has incredibly well animated dances for each champion.

But it's all pointless since the enemy team will probably report you for it and you'll get restrictions. Yes, that's how incredibly stupid this game's community/community management is.

 

[Catalix]

Tomba

When you eat a certain type of mushroom, pressing the attack button forces him to either laugh or cry. It also acts as a "password" for special doors.
The best part was making him cry and walk at the same time, because he flails his arms around windmill style while whimpering.
