WWE 13 Guide › Essentials › Flow of the Match: Strategy

Taunts

This isn’t the golf course—you’re not in the ring to do the “gentlemanly” thing. You’re here to win, and taunting is part of the game.

Caution

Taunting within the flow of the match is encouraged, but some players in 2P or online will take advantage of this and climb out of the ring to taunt incessantly, opening up Finishers. Take the fight to them: in the middle of the taunt animation, Superstars are helpless. Use Outside Dives if they’re close enough, or try a running attack to sway favor back to you. Then, hit them with a combo of attacks to teach them a lesson.

One of the most useful strategies is to know your quickest taunts (~2 seconds) and press that taunt immediately after you score a knockdown or Irish whip. Check out your Superstar or Diva’s taunt times on their profile page to find out which directions to press. If you can taunt and still hit them while they are down (or pick them up to keep the advantage) you can max out the momentum meter quickly.

Tip

If you’re battling with a player who is good at reversing, striking them when they are down may simply give them an opportuntity to reverse from the ground. Taunt to build momentum—they can’t reverse that. Then, hit them with a powerful Signature Move or Finisher.
