  • If Lucina is present after a match, male Robin sometimes says "Lucina, I hope I didn't hurt you." ("ルキナ、痛くなかったかい?, Lucina, are you hurt?). This is rather glitchy, as it can play even if Lucina does not participate in a match.
• Up: Crosses arms with weapons in hand, then spins clockwise and swings the Levin Sword. Male Robin says "I'm always three steps ahead." ("常に三手先を考えるんだ.", I always think three steps ahead.). Female Robin says "A good tactician has nothing to fear." ("戦略を練れば、恐るるに足りません., If you have a strategy, there is nothing to fear.).
• Right: Faces the screen while back to back with Chrom, before turning around posing with their weapons. Male Robin says "It seems our fates are joined." ("僕たちは互いに絆で結ばれているんだ., We are bonded by mutual ties.). Female Robin says "I've got your back." ("私が、あなたの半身になります., I'll be your other half.).
  • If Lucina is present after a match, female Robin sometimes says "How can you protect Chrom if you can't protect yourself?" ("そんなことじゃ、クロムさんを守れませんよ!, You can't protect Chrom like that!).
  • If Robin's Final Smash has been used during the match, Chrom will sometimes say "My strength is yours!" (お前は俺が守る!, I'll protect you!), the same quote Chrom shouts when a unit pairs up with him in Awakening. Oddly, this clip is unavailable in the Sound Test.

Shulk

• 
• 
• 

• Left: Swings the inactive Monado upwards, then places it on his back, saying either "I got through that pretty good!" ("よかった、これで解決ですね。", All good, it's been quite resolved.) or "This is a good result!" ("結構よい仕上がりだね？", It was a splendid completion, huh?).
• Up: Swings the Monado a few times while it is active, then holds it level to his head as it deactivates, saying either "The future is ours to decide." ("みんなの気持ちが伝わってきたよ！", Everyone's feelings have been coming through!) or "I've got a good rhythm going!" ("ほんと、いい流れがつくれているよ！", For real, this makes it a good flow!).
• Right: Bows down with the Monado held lengthwise, then it activates, and he changes grip, saying either "I can feel the power!" ("うん、力を感じる。", Hmm, I feel the power.) or "I can change the future." ("未来は…変えられるんだ！", The future… I can change it!).

Bowser Jr.

•

• 

• Left: Winds back and does a pose with his right fist facing the camera; his victory pose from Street Fighter IV. In English, he says "Give it your all!", while in Japanese, he says "必殺のタイミングを計れ!" (Gauge the timing of your special moves!), one of his victory quotes from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
• Up: Slings his bag over his shoulder while saying "The journey has just begun." ("旅はまだ…始まったばかりだ", Yet the journey... has just begun.) This is one of his victory quotes from Street Fighter Alpha 3.

• 
• 

• Left: Twirls the Buster Sword with one hand and places it on his back, and says "悪く思うな", which translates to "No hard feelings." Based on his victory animation in Final Fantasy VII.

• Left: Dances and says "Miss me, baby?" (Chernobog; "私はここよ", I'm right here.). The dance is similar to her down taunt, with a slightly different ending pose.
  • In the Japanese version, Bayonetta does not turn her head.

• Right: Bayonetta steps back and sticks up her guns, pirouettes like a ballerina, then aims her guns to the right with a pose, saying "That all you got?" (Alruna; "全力を見せてよ", Show me your full power.) or "You're making it easy." (Rakshasa; "楽勝ね", Too easy.).

Inkling

• 
• 
• 

All of Inkling's animations are based on the victory poses when using particular weapons in Splatoon and its sequel. The animations vary between female and male costumes.

• Left: Jumps for joy, spins around, and poses with the Splattershot. Directly based on the victory animation when using a Shooter-type weapon in Splatoon 2. The initial animation is based off the male Inkling's animation with the weapon of the same type in Splatoon.
• Up: Sways the Splat Roller from side to side, before striking a pose while resting the Roller's handle against a shoulder. This victory pose combines the victory animations in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 when the Inkling uses a Roller-type weapon.

Ridley

• 
• 
• 

• Left: Flies into the scene, lands, and drifts to a stop.
• Up: Somersaults and screeches, then lands with a slash.
• Right: Claws at the ground repeatedly and bites once afterwards. He then turns toward the camera as he grins. The way the camera is angled makes it appear as if Ridley is ravaging a downed opponent, but in Team Battles, it clearly shows that he is scratching at the bare ground.

Simon

• 
• 
• 

• Left: Shouts "I vanquish the darkness!" ("闇を打つ！", Strike the darkness!) as he whips the ground around him twice, before holding the Vampire Killer taut.
  • Against characters who use darkness (Ganondorf, Dark Samus, Ridley), but are not neccesarily villain characters (Dark Pit, Bayonetta), Simon may simply say, "The darkness!" ("闇に変わる！", Turn to darkness!).
• Up: Holds the coiled Vampire Killer in the air before lashing it out against the ground while spinning once. The ending pose appears similar to promotional art for Castlevania Chronicles.
• Right: Jumps up to grab a Magic Crystal then whips forward. Simon will then continuously whip and jump as the camera cuts to a side view, referencing a phenomenon when the A and B buttons are held after collecting an orb in the original Castlevania.

Richter

• 
• 
• 

• Left: Swings the Vampire Killer around himself while saying "You don't belong in this world!" ("ここはお前の住む世界ではない！", This world is not yours to live in!) before striking the ground with it and pulling the chain taut (similar to Simon). This line is taken from the beginning of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
• Up: Jumps and whips the ground before making a pose identical to his official render.
• Right: Hooks the Vampire Killer to his waist and poses with his back facing the camera, similarly to his idle stance in Symphony of the Night, and makes a parting gesture saying "Farewell!" ("じゃあな", See you.). This is from the cutscene where he rescues Tera in Rondo of Blood.

Piranha Plant

•
