Contrary to their name, taunt matches do not have to specifically feature excessive or non-stop taunting from players; moves that produce repetitive, loud noises can also be done by players, such as [[Ganondorf]]'s up-smash, [[Kirby]]'s [[crouch]] animation, [[Charizard]]'s [[Rock Smash]], or [[Shulk]]'s [[Back Slash]]. As other forms of griefing, players can also abuse [[glitches]], hack the game to display unusual stages or force [[Online desynchronization|desynchs]], exacerbate the lag seen on [[Wi-Fi]] via abusing moves such as [[Transform]], or otherwise act uselessly, such as by constantly backfiring [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[Peanut Popgun]], constantly breaking their [[shield]], moving back and forth (via [[crawl]]ing, [[walk]]ing or [[dash]]ing), or even completely refraining from performing any actions whatsoever. Costumes can also play a role in taunt matches; [[Captain Falcon]]'s pink and white attire is particularly infamous in its use with taunt matches, as are [[Meta Knight]]'s pink and red costume and [[Shulk]]'s shirtless costume, among others. In ''Brawl'', the stage of [[Temple]] is a common pick amongst taunt matches, as its large size allows players to easily avoid serious players, though the deadly stage hazards of [[New Pork City]] make that stage a relatively common pick as well. | ||
A sense of cooperation is generally seen in taunt matches, with most of them involving a group of either two or three people on the same console all working together in the match. Cooperative players may use the same character as to synchronize taunts or to otherwise assist in preventing serious matches from occurring. Etiquette is also often displayed by those who start taunt matches; accidental attacks are sometimes followed up with the offending player crouching as a form of apology. | A sense of cooperation is generally seen in taunt matches, with most of them involving a group of either two or three people on the same console all working together in the match.
