@Ganon7 doubt that this is a trash.

But your mouth being full of it? Won't argue lol.

could you make an all class logo trophy for saxton hale and the mobster? (if the mobster makes it in that is) not only that, it would also be good for consistency's sake, and for any future v-script gamemodes that add a new playable character (that can taunt anyway) but i think its a good idea just for consistency alone.

I really like how you incorporated the premise of this trophy. The characters don't just randomly pull it out, someone throws it to them, creating a super unique concept off the bat and somewhat adding to game feel as if one of your teammates threw it to you sarcastically or seriously, it's really clever. Notably, Soldier's being thrown at his head and then held awkwardly in his hand while he cheers is just amazing character animation.

I have no critiques for this, like genuinely nothing. In all regards, it's doing way past what it needs to do to be accepted. It has so many good use cases like doing it ironically after missing an easy kill or doing something stupid, or doing it after a successful team wipe or to piss off an enemy player whose targeting you. Good job!

I like how they actually put the trophy in their pocket instead of just tossing it away like some other taunts with props. I like it.

If it doesn't make it as a taunt, hopefully as a feature at the end of casual, like they do at competitive.

LOVE IT!!

meh

redo it as weapon

trash

i wish this was a partner taunt so i can give the (#1 best healer award) to the medic who just helped me curbstomp the entire enemy team with krits

*gets a single back stab*
*back stabbed enemy says slur in chat*
*immediately play this taunt*
*dies*

Looks great!

@Играю на утюге This probably would have been fun to play around with, but unfortunately for all class taunts the props all need to use the same texture across all 9 props and we preferred to keep it simple. There were some discussion over not completely different trophies, but allowing for things like Heavy's being split in two from him flexing with it, but that would have cut into the time budget a little too much probably

good emote taunt,but why you didnt do a little differences with a cups that mercs hold? like, make it different cups for classes. Example: Demo holding a cup that looks like sticky bomb (i didnt mean that circle with class emblem).Because the same cups for mercs is very boring,even a with a class emblem

Thanks for another emote

Im not a big fan of objects materializing out of nowhere but since its like someone tossing it to the merc, i think its fine with this because its so short and simple and does match the mercs personality for the most part. and also its like "Im de better soldier main than you dingus"

Amazing work

if we're going on actual in-lore logic the enemy would be dead. there would be nobody to watch them pull it out. im not sure what the logic behind this is going for, it's just a taunt

Definitely would be better if they just took out a trophy they already had on them and gloated, like a taunt.
They're mercenaries that get payed a lot, so if they went out and bought trophies just to fuck with their enemies that would make more sense.
Why would they even care about getting awards?

@Commander Slem i think one of us have talked about doing something like that, the problem is the logistics of all the contact points on the body you'd have to line up and how general the hug would have to be to accommodate everyone

Needs voice lines

not a big fan of the falling part

Tacky emote.

overly animated

i will use this when i kill a try hard.

its peak

Fantastic animation work! Especially love the Pyro's version.

@MeatwadMeatwad
The theme of the taunt is that they're being awarded, hence why they react excited and Engineer even is humble about it
If the mercs are the ones that pull the trophy it defeats the porpuse of the theme

Can you also make the trophy a melee?

I love this one! :D

I've got an idea for another taunt!
How about a hug taunt? A friendly hug, but with a chance to turn into cracking the back, or other way of killing of the person you're hugging? X)

Reminds me of that one scene from The Mask

Good taunt idea, but it's weird how the trophy just flies in from wherever inexplicably. Just make them pull it out instead of it being summoned with dark magic

I love it.

I win!

You should get this for a really hard achievement

Heavy has literally Pewdiepie's ruby play button :D

Finally. A taunt. Short one. Not overly animated. Its a miracle

Finally, the Saxxy for us poor.

Please be for this smissmas update. It's so good .

Can’t wait to use this taunt on Soldier and killbind as soon as the trophy hits his head xD

this would be great for some scenebuilding

tbh I wouldnt be mad if this was just a saxxy holders exclusive taunt.

comp propaganda

Looks great! Doesn't last too much and is not overly animated. Well done!!

Finally, I won the Saxton awards for "best heavy of 2024"

PEEEAM EEAHOOOO

valve, add this and give me 9! (one for each class!!!)

best in ASS (i like it :))
