Taunt

A Taunt is a type of move introduced in the Street Fighter Alpha series, and is featured in mot Street Fighter games since. Taunts are, usually, harmless actions that can only be performed on the ground once per round (with the major exception of Dan), often done to mock or annoy the foe. They are also usually long in duration and cannot be canceled. The taunt button is usually an "extra", or unused button found in the control scheme.

Few taunts (i.e. Chun-Li's) have the potential to hurt the foe however, though very weak, can even K.O. a foe when on low health (which actually gives a bonus in some games). Despite that, taunts aren't used very often due to the fast pacing of the games, where the taunter is open for counter-attack.

Dan's taunts have become very famous in the games he appears in. Being a joke character, he has many unique attributes to his taunting. For one, he can taunt infinitely, and has a unique taunt for standing, ducking, and even an aerial taunt. Dan also has a special move that involves a taunt, Roll Taunt. Finally, Dan has an entire Super Combo centered around his taunts, called "Legendary Taunt".
