Now that everyone has taunts, as someone who has only played SF4 and Skullgirls, a lot of the taunt input references are lost on me. I'm curious what all of the references are? I'll edit this post with replies so it can serve as a reference of sorts for the taunt inputs. The ones I know:

Beowulf: Jon Talbain's Moment Slice (from Darkstalkers)
Big Band: Morrigan's Cryptic Needle (from Darkstalkers)
Cerebella: Inverse of Beowulf's
Double:
Eliza: Anarkis' Pharaoh Magic (from Darkstalkers)
Filia: Demitri's Midnight Pleasure (from Darkstalkers)
Fukua: Inverse of Filia's
Ms. Fortune:
Painwheel:
Parasoul:
Peacock: Lei-Lei's Tenraiha (from Darkstalkers)
Robo-Fortune: Dan's Otoko Michi (from Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter)
Squigly: Akuma's Raging Demon (from Street Fighter)
Valentine:

Filia/Fukua's are Midnight Bilss, with one of them with the correct input and the other with a reversed input

I completely forgot about tenrai-ha, I knew that one but ty for the others (are all the ones I don't know darkstalkers?)

I think mike said Filia's was midnight pleasure, which would make fukua's midnight bliss.

I guess it makes sense because midnight bliss is the super that people get when they mess up midnight pleasure?

Oh also Fortune's taunt is the opposite of robo's I think
 
Filia's is midnight pleasure, but upon research the input for midnight bliss (at least in vsav, was it different in older games?) is inverted DP.
 
um parasoul's is a reference to chun li's from third strike
latest
 
Cere's is also the flipped-side of Beowulf's taunt, and by extension a flipped Moment Slice
 
Pretty sure that Double's taunt is an ideal pushblock from VSav?
 
I'm pretty sure Squigly's is Darkness Illusion.

AKA Akuma's Raging Demon
 
Damn, I just checked, Raging Demon came out 4 months before Darkness Illusion. I guess that's why Squigly's taunt is Air OK
 
Mike said Bella's is an inverse of Beowulf's.

Pretty sure that Double's taunt is an ideal pushblock from VSav?
I thought pushblock was LK, LP, MP, HP, HK, MK? So I guess it's the reverse of a VSav pushblock?
 
I think Mike said on Salty! that Double's taunt is the code to select Dan in SFA.
 
I always wondered why Vampire had such a knack for these funky as hell inputs

oh crackcom you crazy
 
I suggest update the OP with the gifs for the taunts to ilustrate the descriptions.

Beowulf: Jon Talbain's Moment Slice (from Darkstalkers)
It ain't even just the input, lul. Beowulf has so many Talbain references it borderlines on copyright.
