Spread some Smissmas Cheer™ all throughout the battlefield with this jolly moving, figure skating taunt!
— Skating Scorcher publicity blurb
 ”

The Skating Scorcher is a community-created special taunt for the Pyro.

When activated through the taunts menu, ice skates materialize on the Pyro's feet. The Pyro then performs a twirl and begins skating, automatically moving forward without any inputs. Pressing the left or right keys turn the Pyro. When the player ends the taunt, the Pyro skates for a distance and then brakes, performing a spin as the skates disappear.

During the taunt, pressing MOUSE1 or MOUSE2 makes the Pyro do different tricks. Primary Fire performs a Toe Loop Jump, while Secondary Fire performs a twirling Grand Jeté before landing in an Arabesque position. Both require a pause before performing again. The Pyro also performs an Arabesque when ending the taunt.

When starting and finishing the taunt, the Pyro emits the same particles and sound effects as the Noise Maker - Winter Holiday.

The Skating Scorcher was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
