I'll be frank with my review: A lot of these don't necessarily seem like "Taunts" as much as "Random conversations between Smash Bros. Characters" Heck, some aren't even Smash Bros. characters... it's very funny, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't seem to be what the title states that it is.
... And ironically, I came to here, after viewing this on a Youtube video... but the poster gave you guys credit, and provided a link to here, so I guess they were alright...
Great work on the submission, though!

A couple problems. One you explained, about the "Scene selection". However, at the end, I can't click on "Freaky Planet" to skip to it. Also, if I click anything, i still have to watch the other clips before I can return to the scene selection.
Personally, I dislike the Monty Python one, and... the one with Furio Tigre. But most of them are pretty good. 8/10 here, a 4/5 for the submission. Hope to see more!

Very nicely done. I liked the usage of Piano Man the best, personally.

It wasn't supposed to be a PW flash, but it's still good. Was a good idea to use Manfred von Karma as the Corpsman for this. Nice.

Great sourcing for these clips, and use of animations... but there's one issue that revokes the 10/10:
You didn't put all your sources. "Scottish" is missing from the credit rollcall. I realized this, since I wanted to see where it came from, but it wasn't there. However, great work!

Great choices for the clips, but they were either very short, or not memorable/funny. Some were more funny than others though, such as the Star Trek one. However... Honestly, I saw it a few minutes ago, and I already forgot a lot of them. However, what I DO remember is that I enjoyed it. Nice work, but needs to be longer, and more humour.

House's EXACT sound clip was used, it's start to its end, prior to this being made. I have found the original area where it is. It's called "Phoenix Wrong: Epic Turn". Sadly, I am unsure if links are allowed to be posted here, but typing in "Phoenix Wrong" on the search bar, you SHOULD get it around...... the 55th selection.
I'll be honest with you though, it could've been much better. Some of the earlier clips were either too short to be funny, or kept going on for too long and although funny at first, slowly got tiresome by the time the clip ended. I've never seen CSI Miami before though (Gasp!!!) but some of these weren't too bad. However, I'd like to see another submission at another time, that's unmistakable!

Thanks for pointing out which one it was. I seriously went through almost all of them and did my best not to repeat, made a long list of what ones were done. Oh well, this was just for fun, so I dont mind that it happened. With so many damn ones of these its hard not to.
And thats the reason I wont be doing another. Even when I did this one, it was too overplayed. I did it because I was having fun. But to do more wouldnt be too fun, I think, with so many more out there.
Thanks for the review.

It was over a bit quickly, and some of the quotes weren't very memorable. Lynch, Black, Monty Python, Good Morning Vietnam, and Luke Atmey in "Back to the Future" were great though!

Quite possibly my favorite one. Aside from Bull Durham, I loved each of these ones. Main ones I loved were the Monty Python ones, Major League, Wang Chung, and Happy Gilmore. I am upset however, that you are no longer making anymore of these.

You know, I REALLY should review more submissions.
I love this song, although I can see why John-Thomas thought it could be considered "funny". April May screwing around with the camera, "Argh! I blinked!", and of course, "My first love. I love green screens", along with "KILL!" are all in the region of humour. Please understand that the song MAY be depressing/sad, but the pictures are humorous.
Also, before I leave, how did you get Phoenix's "Spring Break" suit? Thanks in advance!
Almost forgot to "rank" it fully! On the plus side, the song is VERY well suited for the flash, the characterization is also amazing for each, and the custom "Spring Break" is also great.
However, there ARE some problems. 1. If there's ANYONE Mia never met, it's Franziska. She was in Germany until one year after Mia died!
2. I think that you should edit the accidentally shifting Mia Fey sprites in certain frames. She SHOULD remain in the same area when she's speaking and standing in place.
Hey, I may be a tough reviewer, but I believe that everyone should perfect their talents.... and YOU, my friend, have talent.
Author's Response:
I thank you for this rather lengthy, but honest review. Let me address a few things you questioned.
Pictures: Okay, I admit. I made the pictures to be somewhat funny, my bad. I thought I might break up the melodrama a little.
Phoenix's "Spring Break" Suit: That was a complete accident. Apparently, the .bmp of Phoenix didn't translate too well into .jpeg, so it got discolored. Instead of FIXING it, like I probably should have, I kept it, and just called it his "Spring Break" Suit.
Problems to Address:
Mia Not Meeting Franziska: I can solve that with two, simple words. Alternate. Universe. This movie was not meant to be canon in any sense of the word. Besides, to my best knowledge, Mia wasn't a lesbian, so I kinda took some liberties. Hope that's okay.
Skipping Sprites: This seems to be a rather reduntant, annoying problem I have. I'm not sure what the real problem is, but I'm working on fixing it. I'm almost done re-syncing this, so I'll re-post it then. Check back later.
I don't mind tough reviews if they bring up some valid points, which you my friend, did exponentially. keep up the good constructive critisism bombs! And drop a few more one me, would ya?
