@Mikroscopic: Yikes, I didn't know Itemtest worked that way for Unusual taunt effects. :(

I would have liked to show it on some moving taunts, but it's hard to get control over how they work because they're each hard coded with their own timing. I tried overriding the particle on a Mega Strike Conga but it was way too fast for this effect. Maybe Showstopper would work better, but I don't really want to spend a few dozen bucks on another unusual taunt. Valve really ought to update item test to better support taunt effects. Oh well.

It's a cool concept, and look pretty well done. I like the attention to detail, like the tiny lava droplets that spurt upwards when the cracks open and the rising smoke.

Maybe a bit too fast, since most Action Taunts are usually longer in duration than weapons taunts (which are no longer than 4 s). I would like to see more showcase videos.

@pop Especially on a looping transversal taunt when the character moves.

curious how this would look on a looping taunt
