[SFM] The Bear Claw! [Taunt]

Vote for this taunt if you liked it on the TF2 Workshop here!! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Professional wrestling may or may not be fake; however, what is definitely not fake is the fear you're going to instill in your adversary's big dumb skull. Whether you make this your introduction or your finisher, you'll be sure to terrify your opponents with this wrestling inspired taunt!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A video trailer may be coming soon, I had a funny idea but didn't have the time to see it through. We'll see!
All animation and promo images entirely done by me. Special thanks to Donhonk for getting the backpack icon's transparency and size correct.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. Is this a taunt kill?
A. It was not my intention for this to be a taunt kill, no. It was inspired by eccentric and crazy moves professional wrestlers do for their opening to excite or before a finishing move. That said, I have 0 control over how Valve chooses to implement a community taunt, as far as I'm aware all I can provide is the taunt animation.
Q. Was this made for the Heavy vs. Pyro WAR?
A. Not necessarily. I had just wanted to come up with a good taunt idea for the Heavy since he doesn't have too many and is not too easy to come up with working ideas. However, I would love to be a part of the Heavy vs. Pyro updates in some way. It's Valve's decision.
Q. Are you a wrestling fan?
A. I know almost nothing about it!

[@Jojje94]

I knew modeling that wrestling ring wouldn't be a bad idea.

[@acedefective5086]

+Hypo you sir are the reason why I still play tf2 hoping that your great ideas will be added into the game ;-;

[@spooderlover3512]

Your prop has been a staple in every idle server I see as well as the Heavy boxing tournament

[@FlairTF2]

0:19 That scout's fucking dead!

[@Infomaniac_Moment]

WELLRIP

[@bonkboy6242]

u comment on loads of tf2 vids good for u!

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

rest in kek

[@alma3884052]

Valve should hire you or at least give you free excurtion in Valve HQ, You make so much cool stuff for them!

[@AntiR2525]

this dude be preaching

[@flashfigure]

There aren't enough heavy only taunts. I love that you're the one making them! Keep it up Hypo!

[@steampunk7104]

You = boring

[@isaacargesmith8217]

This better be a taunt kill type taunt.

[@battlemojito6653]

you're right, this NEED to be a taunt kill

[@AntiR2525]

beat me to it

[@Aviii_]

+Hypo The description says it wasn't your intention to make it a taunt kill, *but you have 0 control over how VALVe uses it.* Maybe he meant that he hopes this gets in the actual game as a taunt kill?

[@Gryphus.]

unfortunately, taunt kills are only for weapon taunts. so yep, it's gonna be kinda hard with a custom taunt like this one.... OR maybe they could use this taunt to replace the boxing gloves' taunt ^^

[@donmosquito7868]

Have you seen any oh the taunts that are not weapon forced to kill someone?K Sorry, ballonibouncer was ment to be letal

[@Caboooo]

i need this in my life
as an uncertified heavy main i declare all heavy specific taunts great, unless they arent

[@Polarlolar]

Hypo, I hope this one gets in, since your heavy taunt got in, it'd be nice to have another one made by you in the game!

[@MrMustard]

That hypo guy! Always working on something

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

MY BLOOD! HE PUNCHED OUT ALL OF MY BLOOD!

[@universetwisters3968]

It'd be a good taunt kill, even though you'd have to be very very lucky to get one with it.

[@depressurecooker6372]

Perfect "Warrior's Spirit" taunt!

[@Steaky]

I think this guy deserves more MORE, subscribers. Hi's animation style is in the level of Valve, or even higher. You might get to work in Valve someday... someday...

[@doge4402]

this taunt and the cosmetic fits the glove of running urgently

[@alma3884052]

Heavy really needs his own taunts. Poor guy does have only one or two(

[@reigomba]

Good, Another confirmed taunt! :D

[@zestytrev]

I feel like this should be a looping taunt

[@arthurroque2917]

who else bets that no one will use this taunt?

[@Weldedhodag]

this would be good as a taunt kill for the Warrior's Spirit

[@Thekitty0706fan]

Chest beating?
A nice omage to Harambe. I approve.

[@LightsJusticeZ]

Figured you'd showcase this with the bear claws

[@mattronusthecombatibot687]

This taunt would go well with the warrior's spirit weapon

[@willyt8541]

All the more reason to vote for Heavy
So badass

[@keybladegames_real]

first of all this taunt remins me of the comics when he fought a bear. second how can you take him seriously when he tries to be serious but goes 'WAAAAAAH!!" and pounds his chest

[@TheMemeSheriff]

This would be really good in those trade servers that have the boxing rings

[@faz2k]

Another heavy taunt that everyone wants but nobody wants to buy!

[@aero_xxi]

vote for it? SIR YES SIR

[@cadetwright6496]

this probably going to be in the tf2 heavy vs pyro update

[@Jagerbomber]

He punched out all my blood!

[@tackyoptic]

Heavy update? I think so too.

[@giberr6628]

10/10 would make it a taunt kill

[@giberr6628]

***** Yeah, that's a cool idea though. Would be fun to use the K-9 mane, the warrior's spirit and this taunt lol.

[@giberr6628]

Something along those lines, yeah.

[@mechalo5271]

Come on, Valve! Include this!

[@ultragamergranpro1091]

amazing

[@alybadry203]

i think this should be a new taunt kill with the warrior's spirit cuz of the claws

[@alacan]

I want this to be a tauntkill

[@powersurge_beast]

It should keep Warrior's Spirit equipped

[@jembo9311]

I really want this

[@acasualbeancan246]

A whole server of heavies doing this would be heaven.

[@BlueOysterWizard99]

I FEEL ALIIIVE!

[@andrewlagno9482]

could you do a bit for each of the scout and spy sets of the mann of lethal talents set like you did with the sniper?

[@tentacles1853]

This should the brass beast taunt

[@heavyweaponsguy8568]

heavy wants this

[@Sky-oh2my]

That's pretty gud.

[@samoaspider]

why Sumo stance at the beginning? if anything it could be inspired by gorillas movements
also when heavy is banging his chest his hands should be little bit further from chest as it looks and sounds like he is just slapping his nipples sofly atm

[@chrisrodriguez8746]

Harambe lives on

[@Lightning_Chaser]

POOTIS BEAR APPROVED!

[@SamuraiMotoko]

mmmm, it make me think on a sumo wrestler, then make me think in a gorila, and then make me think on the bear claw like the title suggest.
Im not sure about that, but i think people will like them.

[@citrusdildo]

heck to the yeah

[@salvadorcito144xD]

I got an idea, if you have an enemy player in front of you, he is going to die (taunt kill)

[@rosanasanchez4706]

this should be a kill taunt

[@wisemanfifty-two1639]

How cool would this look with the Warriors spirit?

[@thomaswenas-bobbiefet5805]

I want an infiti loop taunt for heavy.

[@skellington15]

So....he's just Winston.

[@AuraMasterUmi]

I'm not saying this is a bad taunt, but I don't really like the combination of it. I feel like Heavy beating his chest could be a taunt by itself, and it feels wired for it to be part of a taunt like this.

[@hudson8_]

Yeti taunt

[@jojojclown3101]

Yeti cosmetics and this taunt

[@k-e-v-]

first start of taunt looks like SUMO...

[@ALMarkAZ1990]

They added most of your Taunts, I'm not seeing the reason why not this one.

[@pineapple344]

might have a taunt kill?

[@confuser3506]

If heavy has gloves, how it works?

[@colbyjackextracheese6249]

im guessing valve is subscribed to you because almost every taunt you make is in the game

[@mechasaurus]

Beware the Bear!
Eeyah!!!

[@legolasttwink4694]

H A R A M B E

[@KingFluffs]

Heavy would make a good sumo wrestler...

[@DejanSkoko]

I want that taunt is avalible to kill so mach

[@sourysandvich4301]

Please, We Need Medic Taunt

[@LeSuperFishe]

Maybe another taunt kill?

[@ScrubCrusher69]

I think we need more group taunts. Like the High five, Rock paper scissors or the dancing taunts.
I feel like the solo taunts are kinda....useless. Of course, every taunt is useless but those group taunts are much more fun in my opinion.

[@luciannelson8790]

I think the word you're looking for is group taunts.

[@ScrubCrusher69]

thx

[@VooDooMusic]

Valve, bring quickplay back so I can care about this kinda stuff again... :*(

[@garretthasreturned]

noice

[@hughy897]

Taunt fortress 2

[@shock45-fpsgamer26]

i want this in the game aswell as Frontline

[@YolphoLofty]

Doesn't make sense for it to be in Frontline. Frontline is based off of 20th century war.

[@shock45-fpsgamer26]

Yolpho Lofty dude i didn`t say i want it to come out with Frontline...Read properly...I said "
I want this in the game ASWELL as Frontline

[@donmosquito7868]

I know this comment will not be seen but I try.
I know is hard to make taunts for heavy but that's really how wresterls do?I'm not in any oh this kind oh "sports " But I have a hard time imaginating a pink heavy doing like this.

[@12MeDveD12]

Its the dead taunt?!

[@popeofbart4812]

Can it kill enemies?

[@DevBunnyx0]

tauntkill please.

[@parrotmajula5240]
