The Schuhplattler Dance

Needs to be a bit faster and hyper, and not so static.
I like the taunt, but I imagine it would feel a bit too awkward if the Medic doesn't be a bit more jumpy and hyper during the animation, not like a Super Soaker kid with 10 pounds of sugar or anything. :reusapple:

I agree, it wasn't bad, it doesn't seems like medic was enjoying it at all. It's like he was trying really hard to pull out a dance move to impress a patient.

Looking at it from the side his top half doesn't move too much - it's very static like RedAndWatch said.
I although agree that he could move a bit faster.
On the other hand is the Schuhplattler a relativ static dance - especially compared to the Conga or Kazotsky Kick, as it only goes in a small circle in most performances.

Looking at those two other taunts, it probably would be a good idea, to make this a group taunt.
I thought immediatly of the Schuhplattler as a possible steroetypical german dance taunt right at the moment I saw the Kazotsky Kick.
What made me search for it.
Besides it is usually performed by a group of german/bavarian man. :dwarfbeer:

You clearly do not know how to count.
It's intentional. It's supposed to look rigid and perfect to an un-fun degree; it's part of the joke. He's German. Watch how he does the Conga and Kazotsky Kick compared to the other classes... it's the same way.

I do think it would benefit from being a little faster.

Maybe the medic's arms or back to waver a bit, otherwise, I think it is fine.
It does not NEED to be hyped saying that the root of the taunt is that slow normally. Keyword: NEED. I like it as slow as it is, the reason why i like it.

I can agree with that.

I think it might be the head not having enough movement to it
Like, even a slightly lowered head would feel a lil less weird, as if he was looking at the movements he was doing during the dance

or maybe he should be more expressive idk
