The best of the best (Fighting games- idle, win, lose animations and taunts)

I'd have to say the majority of the taunts from SFIII:TS are great. Chun-Li's yawning and stretching, Makoto's flexing, Yun's twirling hat, Elena's handstand, Dudley's flower toss, and so on (and of course, the fact that they alter a characteristic by completing one means there's actually a purpose to them aside form just showing off).

For intros, I love ones that apply to the characters and connections between them. KoF has plenty of these, though I don't play it enough to really know any in particular. Alex/Hugo in SFIII:TS is great, as is Kyo/Ryu in CvS:MotM.

Might I also add almost anything by Lillith. Her wing-turned-hand gesturing a finger for you to "come on", her sitting down clutching her stomach while thinking of food, and (even though this is off-topic) her Showtime! super (one of the Greatest. Supers. Ever.).

Iori's death thingie (cause it looks like he's grabbing his crotch XD)
Iori's crazy ass laughter!
Felicia's head sit =^..^=
Mai's and Andy bogard's like "papa! papa!" "AUGHHH!!" thing XD
Terry's GOOD LAWK!

1. Iori's taunt and laughing victory pose.
2. Akuma and Gen's SFA3 intro.
3. Rock's hair toss.
4. Yuri's butt-spanking taunt.
5. Ryu and Ken's SFA3 intro.

GOOD LAWK

I don't understand, its clearly an R sound. Good Rawk! like that.
Its even funnier that way.

I used to love King's "Come on, baby".

and that chick(zaki) from Project Justice, with her "namen ja nai yo!" after her kick. . .

+ other stuff.

Rock's fire wings win pose
Vega's point with the snake
Khushnood Butt's busting his shirt win pose
Dan's crying win pose
Dong Whan's knee slap win pose
Anything Terry does with his hat, especially Cmon Cmon
Todo's stupid pointing rant with that lady (who is that? his daughter?)
Anything the old man in Last Blade 2 does with the turtle
Favorite character interaction intro: Geese and Terry in CvsSnk 1, Terry (shaking fist): Geeeeeese!

Poppy's puppies (Galford)

Setsuna's opening

Marurun's 'thumbs up'

Rose's "Daijobu?" (Note the card between her breasts)

Dandy-J's "Nanikayoka?" (What do you want?)

Yamazaki's psychotic laugh (also his snake arm pick up)

Maharaiah's 'magnetic' poses

Hayato's extra character pose (Who ever expected to see June, Ele, or Saturn in 2D?)

Ukyo's many ladies

Elena's failed handstand

That lady in Todo's rant thing is indeed Kasumi, his daughter.:)

Darkstalkers has just too many cool animations to list ( here are some examples of my favorites, it's just a few ):

1.) Talbains Beast Cannon and Moment Slice
2.) Demitri's Dash Teleport
3.) Lilith's "Jumping Happy" Winpose
4.) Rikuo's Transformations into various Sea Creatures
5.) Donovan's Assist Chracters
6.) Huitzil's Transformations ( especially Final Guardian Beta )
7.) Jedah in general
8.) Q.Bee's EX Sting - she stings you, turns your body into a shell for her new self, and then dies, but a new version of herself comes from out of your body.

These are just a few of the many MANY animations on DS. You can't see them all in a day, I tell you.

Also, who can forget Anakaris' super taunt?

Stellar.

Vampire probably has some of the greatest animations out of all fighting games.

Yea, she only whips her in my mind......

Another funny animation is when Benumaru grabs his balls, and says thank you when he beats a male character.
