    Whenever I get a kill I almost always go for a taunt, to the general disregard of any enemies in the area, which leads to my demise quite often. And yet I keep doing it.

    Is there a pill for this? Lots of bacon doesn't seem to work.

    Why would you ever do that? while you waste time on taunting you could be shootingmore dudes in the face.

    Only taunting you need is the satisfaction of winning!

    Don't forget to GLHB at the beginning of every match to lighten the mood.

    I think this should be an unwritten rule for all kills. People who are taunting are so much easier to shoot.

    I'm pretty sure they make a suppository for this.

    @Cloudenvy Taunting has a use. When you taunt after a kill if you complete the taunt you gain money. So it's well worth doing if you can.

    It's Super MNC ... shooting dudes in the face, while fun, is secondary :) ... First order is to get the moneyz and help your bots :)

    To be fair, that's all I do. I'm really bad at killing actual dudes.

    @Cloudenvy And that's ok. Not every class in SMNC is about killing dudes. As long your at least harassing other pros so a commando like Assassin or cpt Spark can pick em off then your still contributing.

    @Cloudenvy: Strikers main roles are to help push bot lanes. Dealing damage to rival bots and helping clear out turrets however you also should harass and engage pros who get in your way. Megabeth is possibly the best striker IMO. Her rockets are amazing at taking out groups of bots quickly. I've also enjoyed using assault too. His bomb skill is great for booby trapping the annihilator.

    @Demoskinos: Megabeth is pretty much all I've been playing, and it sounds like I've been doing what I should do.

    Shoot. Everything.

    it used to be assault, unless they nerfed his jetpack pretty hard recently

    How much money do you actually receive from taunting after a kill? I mainly play combat girl and rarely get any kills aside from laser blasting stragglers unfortunate enough to be caught in my sights.

    If I'm safe, I'll taunt. It can mean the difference between activating the Anni or not... getting there and not being able to fire it off when it is clear is the damned worst.

    @McBradders I've had a few of those. My team bands together and fights the other team off the anni.....and then we all just kinda stand there cause everyone is a couple hundred short to actually activate it.

    I had a match the other week where a guy went 24-1 as spark, but he killed nearly no bots and their team lost to us, which felt great after dying to that bastard for 20 minutes..

    I used to have this terrible, terrible problem with Street Fighter IV. I was such a bad taunter. I don't know why either. I'm a smart-ass when I play online fighting games, so maybe that's why. Ask

    That's my favorite part about Combat Girl. My record is three kills in one blast when my team was pushing the moneyball.

    I'll taunt after the Anni fires if I set it off because it's usually safe if there was time to hit it and I might get a kill with it.

    I play mainly as Karl, and pushing is indeed the main role. However the stun move + grapple to ring out other pros is so satisfying.
