— The Spy taunting his opponent
|
” |
Upon taunting with any melee weapon except the Sharp Dresser and Spy-cicle, the Spy gracefully tosses his weapon to his left hand and begins to practice a deadly fencing maneuver, resulting in damage or death for anyone slow, unaware or simply unfortunate enough to be in the way.
Enemies hit by the first two initial swipes will suffer minimal damage and receive minimal knockback, while the last thrust is a guaranteed instant kill in almost all cases. The taunt can kill multiple enemies if it connects on both the stabs and thrusts. The range at which the taunt will kill is 48 Hammer Units, past which it has no effect. Fencing can also destroy buildings upon impact.
As with most Kill taunts, this taunt can be utilized to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.

- Fencing is a family of combat sports. In foil fencing, to win in a bout one combatant must thrust their opponent in the chest, or somewhere in the center-mass of the body.
- During the taunt, the Spy has his other hand up above his head, and then he throws it back when he lunges. This is a Classic fencing stance, and throwing one's hand back helps to take advantage of the momentum to quickly regain composure.
