Sniper already has this for his stock primary taunt

Not a taunt.

No.

Just imagine this taunt with the old Ambassador...

we got the high five this is pointless

It's a little awkward looking but I love it. The SFM actually made me chuckle as well

Holy shit, is that a taunt creator that is acknowledging the fact that the people in the comments giving criticisms aren't the bad guys?! I thought that was an extinct species!

Jokes aside, this has a LOT of potential for both taunting people and for goofy interactions, I like the direction this is going.

I like this taunt because it harnesses the potential that taunts have for causing rage and anger, and the sniper wave alone is considered one of the most hazardous and toxic taunts. So giving that to all the classes in a kind of uncanny way. Harbors the most potential to nuke someone's ego entirely 100% this should be in the game.

Making it loopable makes it a bit disturbing, not sure if i'm the only one.

LMAO JKMETTATONET SAID THE QUOTE FROM MADAGASCAR!!!!!

All of them look the same even though, as I can see, they are not. And they are creepy as hell. Maybe just a pinch of individuality and 'life' would do?

Hey everyone,
I hear you loud and clear. You'd like some changes and I agree. I believe I could do better than this.
I will take all the feedback and use it to create a new version (and the last one) V2!
It will take a while to make but in the meantime I will keep this page up and I guess after I'm done with V2 I will replace this page with the new version, since I want it to be a pretty drastic change.
I would just update this page but... I can't change the workshop thumbnail? Unless I'm missing something?

Thank you for the feedback everyone, I'll see you later!

The idea is great but the execution isn't diverse enough when it comes to getting across the merc's personalities, this could be VERY good with a bit more work. Also I'd remove the looping functionality, a simple 3-5 second waving taunt would be enough, especially for people using this after getting a funny kill.

This is such a goofy concept, but all of the waves feel too same-y, also for a few of them, like demo, the hand feels too much like it's stuck in an IK pose, add some variation to the movement! (Or swap it to FK)

I agree with bojangles here

no need for it to be looping.

honestly rework to be a quick wave that is unique for each class. like have the pyro all giddy waving both hands, or the scout doing one quick one, or even have the medic bend forward flapping his hand up and down. cause the way it currently is, its just too stilted.

Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.

take a gun to my head and pull the trigger

why is it a looping taunt. why

Are we not gonna mention how uncanny heavy's smile is?... good taunt.

I wanna use this taunut in game right now

I liked how Soldier was trying to figure out how to wave in the short like it's some alien technology to him, and it should be for everyone who invented getting someones attention by a hand gesture

Very well done for a first taunt! and very fun idea!

For a first time this is really impressive big man, i love you making them laugh at the end with mockery. There's still a lot to improve with the smoothness, and making it not a looping taunt. But otherwise, keep at it, this is very decent!

HAIIII :3333333 HELLO !!! :0 HAIII :D

yeah the loop makes this feel very odd, also the waving is way too... Neutral? Like, every merc waves the same way, theres no character there, it feels empty.

The idea is fine, it just needs way more effort and character put into it, but please, please get rid of the loop, it feels way too ankward.

There's barely any soul in this ''taunt''

toddler first emote

I dont think this should be a looping taunt

good taunt idea feel like you could maybe put a bit more character into the waves? making them different depending on which character its used on. Cause it just looks too stiff and reused and makes it feel to lifeless

i feel like a loop would make it look weird, good taunt tho.

Either way I don't like it. It feels too simple, plus loop is controversial part for me on such static taunts(Hello, Champaign-spraying Spy).

Yeah, it just harmless especially when you see it 6 time in the row from one single sniper from opposite side of the map. /s
No, seriously, I think that if default taunts would be uploaded into workshop half of them would be could "emote"(Like really, how are want me to be taunted by solo on a bonesaw or Haduken?).
The real Taunt have potential as emote and as taunt that you can use in different occasions(I'm looking at you, Minigun-hugging Heavy and Rocking Pyro).

this is an emote, not a taunt

despite its simplicity and blandish movement its makes alot of sense and works as a taunt that is an actual taunt. Like "Hey ya, see you back at respawn looser." It works.

this actually fits as a TAUNT imo, we already see this take shape with sniper's default primary taunt lol.

"ok lads how do we come up with a new taunt for players to taunt their enemies with?"
"how about a friendly cordial greeting?"

Shouldn't be looping.
