Smash Taunt

A Smash Taunt is a special taunt that can be done only by certain characters, on certain stages, more specifically the Star Fox Characters on the Star Fox Stages, and Solid Snake on Shadow Moses Island. In Melee, the Smash Taunt could only be done by Fox and Falco on the Corneria Stage or the Venom Stage. However, In Brawl, Wolf, Fox and Falco can also use their smash taunts on the Lylat Cruise stage.

Once one of the characters successfully initiates the taunt, he will do a pose lasting several seconds. During this time, the character can't move, and if he's hit the taunt will be canceled. However, if the pose is completed without Flinching, the radio conversations will begin. If the character who did the Smash Taunt is KOd during the conversation, it will abruptly come to a halt, and, in Snake's case, include a humorous conclusion based on the Game Over from the Metal Gear Solid series. In Melee, however, being KO'd is not even necessary; the characters only need to flinch to end it.

• Smash Taunts are used by tapping down on the D-pad just once, for about one frame. In Brawl this is acheived by pressing Down Taunt.
• Smash Taunts can only be used once per match for all characters, regardless of whom initiates it. If the inital pose is for any reason broken, all players must wait until the match is over to make another attempt.
• Unlike characters from the fox series, snake has a different smash taunt for each character in the game.
• When battling snake communicates with Otacon, Mei Lieng and when battling Fox, Slippy hacks in and has a conversation with him.
