So are you saying he'll still have fun after getting a massive beatdown?? You dont need to get taunted to feel like crap after getting totally outclassed by someone (perfected etc), whether the fun is lost or not is depending on the individual themselves, putting too many silly restrictions can kill the fun too.. though to be honest, a pro player wont really taunt against strangers, maybe yes against his friends but not against some random person. Plus using pad, hp/hk is r1/r2 right? so chances for accidental taunts are there too.

I think the DQ because of taunting shouldnt be a rule.. the home button too, should be made to be depending on the opponent's kindness. Lets say you accidentally pressed the home button against me while I'm on the offense/having the lead, I'm the one who has the right to either TAKE THE ROUND (spam s.hk while the other player do nothing) or continue as usual. Straight up DQ-ing is pretty harsh for something that is accidental. And if its NOT accidental, its gonna be a hell of a nuisance to prove it.

Its gonna be really fun when I accidentally taunted and get DQ-ed wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

all in all, i dont really support a no-taunting rule, and the home button rule should be up to the other person's kindness.

just my 2 cent

I don't favour disqualification of taunting, mainly because it's already there for you to "use."

Also, no taunting means no more Dan Super Jumps, Dan Super Cancels, and Dan Ultra Cancels.

lol and who the hell joins a tourney and uses dan? dan should be banned except for casuals LMAO

Probably the same people that join tourneys with Q.

Nah. You cant compare Dan with Q.

and even if someone's good is going to pick dan, why the hell would he do the super taunt LOL

To avoid the accident you can set the taunt to (No taunt) pre-match so that easily wouldn't be an issue. Nobody will get DQ'ed.

As for strangers taunting, it does happen and it happened to a friend of mine at a tournament and he lost because of it. It may be his fault for letting it get to him but its still unsportsmanlike. Nothing good will come out of taunting. You may psyche the guy to rush in and win but at what cost? Is your win worth his humiliation and anger? All is for fun.

OK, a person who lost a game may not have that much fun, buts its much better if he isn't taunted, trust me. I lose my fair share. I see it as that guy being the better player and I'd be lying if I don't feel a little disappointed but that's it. I don't feel like I might strangle the guy to death if I'll see him in real life. That's what a taunt does.

well setting the taunt to no taunt fixes the problem yeah. done. lol

anyway, i still dont think it should be banned. dont get me wrong, i dont taunt at all(except maybe against some close friends or people who taunted me and i beatdown his ass and i'll taunt back right before finishin him off) and based from my experience joining tourneys here, taunting can be something that is frowned upon BUT also can be something that makes thing interesting/create a few laughs etc.. to me its a legit tool but a good player should be able to win without using it.

anyway i dont think taunting a turtle or runaway to provoke him is unsportsmanship behavior at all. its situational.

"You may psyche the guy to rush in and win but at what cost? Is your win worth his humiliation and anger? All is for fun."

Again, its okay if i humiliate and anger him without taunting? Its okay to destroy his fun without taunting? Thats why I stated in my prev post that its STRICTLY depending on the individuals. Plus I can spam moves to build meter and that can be seen as taunting to some people too.

I just dont think its good to put unnecessary restrictions, thats all. Freedom of speech lol jk.

You can be an ******* and taunt in-game as long as at the end of the day, both players acknowledge that its just a game and shake hands and all. Thats all that matters imo.

ok i dont think i have anything more to say regarding this haha. Just set the taunt to no taunt then(marshalls have to keep that in check). hehe

Q is not the 3rd Strike Dan. VERY far from it. Very very far.

Maybe Alan can clarify on the rule. Maybe he meant taunting in real life... which really warrants a real life beatdown. *piak* *piak* *PIAK*

nway im not saying change the rule or anything. just voicing my opinion

no harm in that, right?

The 2 marshalls are secret characters. Prepare to be owned by this unholy partnership. Contestants beware.

oh sh00t, i just loled! piak piak piak!

Why the hell wouldn't he? It's a guaranteed Ultra.



EDIT: Just to clarify, what I meant by the Dan/Q (I should've picked Twelve or someone worse from another game) was that if someone wants to pick a character that is handicapped to all hell in tourney, that's up to them.

Nothing more than that really. I wasn't trying to draw parallels between Q and Dan. About the only thing they have in common is that I would still pick them over Fei Long.

Thats depends ... usually I will give warning...but if that still accurs...I will disqualify... Some players are good and some are not - We dont want some beginers feel intimidated or felt shy ...and they wont come back. So practically its just a rules...to make sure all players behave in positive attitude.

ok cool

good luck with the tourney

TAUNTING IN GAME ALLOW !!!!

PROVOKE / TAUNT / CRITIC by players to their opponent is not sportmanship and I dont tollerate such attitude. Will be disqualified eventhough if we heard something nasty before or after the game.

So to those who think they are better player...show us by being the champ instead of talking CRAP...HAHAHA

Lets play nice ok?

yeah...act like daigo...

Is sharing sticks allowed?

sharing is caring lol

but then whats gonna happen when the stick is being used by someone else and at the same time you(or maybe more than one person) need to use it?

Simply borrow another from another friend, is that okay?

Sharing is allow...on sticks...and others...but not on GF and underwear..KEKEKEK
