While predominantly only for show, eight taunts in the series can affect gameplay: all of [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake's]] taunts (which equip him with a weak projectile), [[Luigi|Luigi's]] down taunt (which can [[meteor smash|spike]] opponents), all of [[Kirby|Kirby's]] taunts (which make him lose his [[copy]] ability), and [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus's]] up taunt (during which if the player repeatedly presses the taunt buttons will change her into {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}). | While predominantly only for show, eight taunts in the series can affect gameplay: all of [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake's]] taunts (which equip him with a weak projectile), [[Luigi|Luigi's]] down taunt (which can [[meteor smash|spike]] opponents), all of [[Kirby|Kirby's]] taunts (which make him lose his [[copy]] ability), and [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus's]] up taunt (during which if the player repeatedly presses the taunt buttons will change her into {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}). | ||
In '' | In ''Smash 64'', there was only one taunt animation, so characters that taunted would either face the screen or face away from the screen depending on whether they were facing left or right. This was changed in ''Melee'' so characters that turn towards the screen have slightly different animations, making sure they never face away (unless they are [[Cape]]d). Using this functionality, [[Pichu (SSBM)|Pichu]] and [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)|Captain Falcon]] had taunts in ''Melee'' that had two distinctly different animations depending on what direction they were facing. Also, [[Wario (SSBB)|Wario]] has an extra taunt when he is riding his [[Wario Bike|bike]] (used by pressing any of the taunt buttons). | ||
Each taunt is different between every character. However, taunts will always have the character doing a motion (such as dancing), and the character may also speak or yell out a battle cry. Some people take advantage of taunts where characters talk within [[taunt match]]es. | Each taunt is different between every character.

[[Marth]] is the only character in non-Japanese versions of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|series]] that still speaks Japanese. However, some "speaking" taunts change between languages. A notable example is [[Jigglypuff]], whose dialogue changes to reflect its name in other languages, such as its Japanese name, "''Purin''" or Fox in Melee, when he says "''kakate koi''" ("''come on''"). | [[Marth]] is the only character in non-Japanese versions of the [[Super Smash Bros.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', CPUs usually taunt after KOing a character. In ''Melee'' they taunt regardless of what is around them, which leaves them vulnerable to traps such as [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]]s, wandering [[Bob-omb]]s, stage hazards, hostile Pokémon, of even when there are other characters if they don't interrupt the CPU. In ''Brawl'', they instead taunt only when they are on a safe spot, and if there are no foes on-stage, and on a Team Battle, other teammates may also taunt in this situation. However, CPUs in this game may taunt even if the foe self-destructs, such as by a badly timed recovery or attack, or by being KO'd by an item or stage hazard. An interesting fact is that, if a human player self-destructs on a battle against only CPUs, or is KO'd by them they may stop and taunt all together even if they aren't teamed, instead of attacking each other, something that is frowned by most players. In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', CPUs also taunt, but instead of when KOing an opponent, they do when launching an enemy a high distance. Depending on the attack and character, this may be harmful for them, also because they taunt carelessly like in ''Melee'', which makes them easy to KO in free-for-alls or team battles. However, while CPUs can taunt at any [[AI]] level in ''Brawl'', they only do at high levels in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee''. | |||
