List of victory poses (SSBU)

The following is a list of victory poses in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, shown in the order of the left, up, and right buttons on the D-pad that can determine them. For the accompanying music, see victory themes.

Banjo & Kazooie[edit]

Left: Banjo throws a Jiggy in the air, catches it, jumps, and poses. This references his brief dance seen when he collects a Jiggy in Banjo-Kazooie. Afterward, Banjo gives a thumbs-up while performing his signature "Guh-Huh!", similar to the beginning of Banjo-Kazooie's intro movie.
Up: Banjo walks in place briefly before bowing twice, saying "Guh-Huh!" both times, ending with Kazooie poking out of his backpack. The animation is almost identical to that seen when all 10 Jiggies in a world are collected or when a Note Door is unlocked in Banjo-Kazooie.
Right: Both dance around while playing their respective instruments, and then end in a pose referencing the ending of Banjo-Kazooie's intro movie. Their poses are also identical to the ones they assume in their reveal trailer (save for Kazooie's expression).

Byleth[edit]

Left: Swings the Sword of the Creator outward, saying "Allow me to demonstrate!" He then raises his left hand towards his chest as he looks outward. Based on Byleth's victory pose when wielding a sword, combined with one of his critical hit quotes.

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 twice, spins around, and poses with the Splattershot. Based on the victory animation when using a Shooter-type weapon in Splatoon 2. The initial animation is based on the male Inkling's animation with the weapon of the same type in Splatoon. This pose is altered for the male Inkling, looking similar to the artwork seen here.
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. The male Inkling rests his hand on his hip.

Right: Sleeps and then suddenly wakes up, continuing to drift in and out of consciousness.

Joker[edit]

In all three of his victory poses, the transition to the victory screen will showcase a puff of cartoony smoke with star decals, and the ending screen will always result in Joker moving continuously to the left with the results background being dimmed down, replicating the victory screen from Persona 5. Upon accessing the results screen, Joker will say "Begone," "Nice," or "Hah!". If there are three or more human players, the color scheme will match the player's port (CPUs and amiibo are always red). In Team Battles, the color will match the player's team color. If Joker wins on Mementos, the color of the victory screen will match the color of the stage, and the victory music will be replaced with the corresponding victory fanfare from the game Mementos' design is currently derived from.

Left: Morgana happily bounces around Joker. Joker gestures to Morgana before running towards the left.
Up: Joker scratches his head as Morgana, transformed as the Morganamobile, drives up next to Joker, picks him up, and drives towards the left. The head-scratching animation is Joker's victory animation if he is the only member of his party remaining in Persona 5. The Morganamobile is the victory screen when winning a match in Mementos.
Right: Morgana turns dramatically toward the screen, which ends up hitting him in the face. Joker gestures to Morgana before running towards the left.
Special: If Joker wins a Stock or Stamina match with All-Out Attack, the match will conclude on the splash screen without returning to gameplay, and this will persist into the victory screen, just like in Persona 5. This pose also automatically makes Joker pose in front in team battles.
Team: If Joker is in a Team Battle and someone else poses in front, he will perform an exclusive animation where he tightens his glove and maintains a stance with his knife, although both of these are ported directly from his in-game up taunt and idle animation respectively. If he poses in front, none of his teammates will be seen.

Kazuya[edit]

Left: Crosses his arms, then looks off to the side. Based on one of his victory screens in the original Tekken.
Up: Performs two roundhouse kicks, then stomps his foot on the floor while turning into his devil form. He then reverts to normal before holding a fighting stance. Based on one of his victory screens in Tekken 5 and Tekken 6.
Right: Flying kicks in, then punches towards the screen in his devil form, before transforming back to normal while holding the punching pose. Based on one of his victory screens in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection onwards.

Up: Punches twice, does a roundhouse kick, and raises his fist (similar to Ryu), while saying "Challenge me after some practice." In Japanese, he says "いくらでもかかってこい！" (Come at me as much as you like!), his win quote from Street Fighter II. Based off of his victory pose throughout the series, specifically his Street Fighter V variant.
Right: Kicks twice (the first being the Nata Otoshi Geri, and the second being the Oosoto Mawashi Geri) and performs a beckoning gesture, saying "I knew I'd win! Hah!" In Japanese, he says "スパッと勝つと気持ちいいな！" (It feels good to win a spat!), one of his generic win quotes from Street Fighter V.

Luigi[edit]

Left: Planks twice, much like in his side taunt and his artwork in SSB4. His nose twitches in brief intervals after the second plank.
Up: With his back to the screen and his hands on his hips, Luigi nods his head once. Then, he turns around and makes gun motions with his fingers, saying "Bang! Bang!" He continues to alternate between pointing his fingers and nose to the right and left.
Right: Childishly flails his arms about in the air, first towards his right side and then his left.

Right: Sways in place while a Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin walk around him in a circle. References the feature of Pikmin games where the player can command the Pikmin around the leader in a circle with the C-Stick.

Pac-Man[edit]

Left: Appears in ball form, trips on the ground, landing on his backside before he raises a fist.
Up: Chases a vulnerable ghost in his large 2D form, then poses in 3D form. This pose is based upon the first "Coffee Break" cutscene in Pac-Man.
Right: Lands on the ground while a sign reading "7650" appears, then winks and gives a thumbs up with a pixelated fairy. This pose is based on Pac-Land. Both the sign and pixelated fairy do not appear in Team Battles.

Palutena[edit]

Left: Twirls with her staff held out, hovering off the ground. She then raises it in an arc and points it in front of her, saying "No one can hide from the light." ("さ、回収しましょうか？", So, shall we recover?).
- If Pit is present in the match, there is a chance she will instead say "Oh, so sorry about that, Pit." ("やられちゃいましたね？", Are you finished?; in reference to Pit's line, "やられちゃった...", I'm finished...).
Up: Enters from the side of the screen hovering. She then briefly spins her staff in front of herself telekinetically, catches it, and stands with it pointed outwards. During the pose, she says "Too bad for you." ("ちょっと大人げなかったかしら？", Was that a bit immature?).
- If Dark Pit was present in the match, there is a chance she will instead say "Poor little Pittoo." ("いつまでも意地っ張りですね～", Forever a nuisance...!).
Right: Spins around her staff, then sits in midair laughing. In the Japanese version, she says ("本気出してもいいんですよ。", It's all right to fight seriously.).

Peach[edit]

Left: Whilst motioning from right to left, she leans on her parasol. She then raises it while doing a stationary twirl, and poses with it open while resting it on her shoulder. Throughout the motioning, she says "Aw, did I win?"
Up: Twirls with her arms raised as hearts surround her. Afterwards, she poses with her right hand on her hip and her left hand up towards her chest while saying "This is fun!"

Right: Hangs down from above, poses, and opens and closes its mouth.

Pit[edit]

Left: After landing, he does two alternating inward slashes with his detached blades and says "It's game over for you!" ("撃破ー！", Struck down-!). The finishing pose he does is similar to his Ultimate official artwork, albeit with the blade in his left hand held in a proper grip.
Up: Pit jumps up with his fist raised. After landing, he briefly faces away from the screen, and turns back around. He then strikes the V sign and says "Victory!" ("ピース！", Peace!). Based on the ending of Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Pokémon Trainer[edit]

The male Pokémon Trainer can say "You all did great!" ("よくやったな, みんな！", Good job, everyone!), while the female Trainer can say "Everyone did great!" ("みなさんは素晴らしい！", All of you did great!). They will either say their non-specific line, or a Pokémon-specific line. In Team Battles, if there is more than two players on the winning team, the Pokémon will not be present, but this does not affect the Trainer's lines. The male and female Trainers also have variations in their own pose depending on the gender of the Trainer, similarly to the Inklings.

Left: The Trainer throws a Poké Ball up as the female Trainer performs a twirl, catches it, and holds it out in front of them.
Up: The Pokémon does one of its moves, and the Trainer cheers it on before raising an arm in the air.
Right: The Trainer pets the Pokémon.

Squirtle[edit]

During Squirtle's victory poses, the Pokémon Trainer might say "Good job, Squirtle!" ("よくやったな、ゼニガメ！"), while the female Trainer can say "We did it, Squirtle!" ("やったね、ゼニガメ！").

Left: Jumps and spins around on its shell in a breakdance move, and then lands and poses.

Right: Pokémon Trainer holds Squirtle in his arms, then kneels down and puts it on the ground, and rubs its chin and head.

Ivysaur[edit]

During Ivysaur's victory poses, both Trainers can say "Way to go, Ivysaur!" In Japanese, the male Trainer says "がんばったな、フシギソウ！", while the female Trainer says "がんばったね、フシギソウ！", both of which translate to "You did great, Ivysaur!"

Left: Runs forward, does a backflip, then strikes a pose.
Up: Whips two vines forward, then poses with its vines extended.
Right: Pokémon Trainer pets Ivysaur, and it jumps on him, but Pokémon Trainer puts it back down and continues to pet it.

Up: Uses Flare Blitz downwards to descend from the sky and crash into the ground, bounces out of it and lands on its feet, then strikes a pose.
Right: Pokémon Trainer pets its head and neck.

Pyra[edit]

Left: Tosses the Aegis Sword in the air while twirling and catches it while posing, saying "We did our best!" (頑張りました). Rex will jump in next to her and hold his fist up, saying "Nice one, Pyra!" (やったね、ホムラ！). In team battles, Rex does not appear if the team has three or more characters.
Up: Holds the Aegis Sword in front of her, then she and Rex hold it together and point it up in the air while letting out a battle cry. The final pose is similar to when they hold up the Aegis Sword during Burning Sword.
Right: Pyra briefly morphs into Mythra, who does a pose and spins around while morphing back into Pyra, who does a finishing pose by extending the Aegis Sword out. They both say "This is the power of the Aegis!" (これが、私達の力です！, This is our power!) in unison, alternating their voices as they swap form. Her pose comes from her official artwork and her figurine with Mythra.

Richter[edit]

Left: Whilst spinning, Richter 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 an overhead swing and pulling the chain taut. This line is taken from the beginning of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Up: Jumps and whips the ground. Just before he lands, he spins in a brief clockwise manner. Upon landing, he assumes a pose identical to his official render and the cover from Rondo of Blood.
Right: While facing away from the camera, he pulls back and rolls up the Vampire Killer, putting it on his side. He then, with his back still facing the camera, turns around, 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.

Ridley[edit]

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 and grins. The way the camera is angled makes it appear as if Ridley is supposedly ravaging a downed opponent, but in Team Battles, nothing can be seen.

R.O.B.[edit]

Left: While advancing forward, R.O.B. rotates his "hands" outward while his arms point out straight. After halting, he spins his arms in alternating directions and rotates his head 360° counterclockwise. Afterwards, he adjusts his arms to face upward, continuously raising and lowering them in a flexing gesture. R.O.B.'s head also rotates 360° clockwise after every 2 times he pumps his arms.
Up: Hovers in the air, spins, and lands. He then proceeds to continuously lower and raise his arms while rotating his head.
Right: Turns his head and flashes the lights in his eyes while clapping. He then proceeds to continuously clap, lowering his arms after each clap.

Robin[edit]

Left: Generates flames with a wave of their hands, then spreads out the free arm. Male Robin says "The key to victory lies within." ("勝利の秘策はここにある, The secret to victory is here.). Female Robin says "Ha! Checkmate." ("私の策にはまりましたね!, According to plan!).
- 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.

Rosalina & Luma[edit]

Left: Luma flies in after Rosalina motions with her wand, giggling, while Luma circles her.
Up: Rosalina poses and says "All right!", while Luma jumps and spins behind her.
Right: Luma jumps into Rosalina's arms, and she catches it.

Roy[edit]

Left: Swipes his sword once over his shoulder, then swipes it down and behind him while facing left, saying "Now the true battle begins!" ("真の戦いは、これからだ", The true fight is after this.). Afterwards, the camera zooms in on his face, focusing on his eyes.
Up: Spins the Binding Blade one and a half times and then sheaths it, saying "That was a fierce battle." ("苦しい戦いだった", It was a difficult fight.). In this victory screen, Roy assumes a similar pose to his Smash 4 render and amiibo, but with more liveliness to it.
Right: Flourishes his sword and poses with it by his side, saying "Failure is not an option!" before the camera dramatically zooms in on Roy's face ("守るべきもののために、負けられない！", For those whom I must protect, I will not lose!).

Ryu[edit]

Left: Crosses his arms, then winds back and does a pose with his right fist facing the camera; his victory pose from Street Fighter IV, saying "Give it your all!" ("必殺のタイミングを計れ!", Gauge the timing of your special moves!).
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.).
Right: Punches once before doing a victorious uppercut, referencing one of his more recurring win poses, while saying "Your range is one fist short." ("その間合いじゃ、拳半分届かない!", That range doesn't reach half a fist!).

Samus[edit]

Left: Lands on the ground and readies her arm cannon.
Up: Fires multiple Power Beams from her Arm Cannon while kneeling, then strikes a pose. The pose is based on her appearance on the cover of Metroid II: Return of Samus.
Right: Fires a Super Missile and strikes a pose resembling her render from Metroid: Other M, and by extension, her official artwork in Ultimate.

Sephiroth[edit]

All of Sephiroth's victory screens take place in a fiery area instead of the standard area where most of the victory screens take place, a direct reference to the Nibelheim Incident from Final Fantasy VII and Crisis Core. Instead of having a colored background behind him when his name appears, the screen will be tinted red. If Sephiroth is the leader of a winning team, he will use his special victory screens without any of his teammates being seen, similarly to Joker.

In any victory pose, there's a chance Sephiroth will say 思い出にはならないさ ("I will never be a memory.") if Cloud was present during the match.

Left: With his back turned, Sephiroth turns his head towards the camera while chuckling. He then turns around and slowly walks deeper into the flames until he disappears. It is based on the second scene of the Nibelheim Incident cutscene.
Up: Slowly raises his head and glares at the camera, saying 何度でも導いてやろう。 ("I will usher you as many times as you want."). References the first scene of the Nibelheim Incident cutscene.
- In team battles where Sephiroth is not the leader, he faces to the side while doing this pose, keeping his face away from the camera. This resembles his victory animation in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia.
Right: While turning his back to the camera, he swings the Masamune and unfurls his black wing, saying その痛みで私を思い出せ。 ("Remember me through your pain.").
Team: In Team Battles where Sephiroth is not the leader, he faces to the side in the same pose as his up-inputted victory pose, keeping his face away from the camera. This resembles his victory animation in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia.

Sheik[edit]

Left: Kicks once, spins on the ground, then poses with her arms blocking her face.
Up: Crouches, swipes with her hand twice, then stands up while rearing back her right hand up to her face.
Right: Performs the fumikomi geri^[1] (a stomp-style kick in karate), followed by a mid-level side kick, and then performs the tate shuto uke^[2] (a blocking technique in Shotokan).

Shulk[edit]

Left: Raises the Monado, activates it, and swings it in an outward, downward arc. He then deactivates it and 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 twice while it is active (the first swing is inward with both hands, and the second is an outward swing with his right arm). Then he holds it level to his head (horizontally lengthwise) 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, with the Monado activating before Shulk holds it in a reverse 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!).

Simon[edit]

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. This is a possible reference to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest during the end of nighttime, when the game will show a prompt stating "The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night.".
- Against non-DLC characters affiliated with darkness (Bayonetta, Dark Pit, Dark Samus, Ganondorf, and Ridley), Simon has an 80% chance to simply say, "To 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.

Snake[edit]

Left: Does a spin kick, a side kick, and then finishes in a CQC stance, all while saying "Not even close!" ("まだまだだな。", Not yet.). The pose is a reference to the end of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots when Old Snake fights Liquid Ocelot.
Up: Seen in a crouching position from the side, saying "Colonel, mission accomplished." into his codec. ("大佐、任務完了だ。", Colonel, mission accomplished.).
Right: Crawls forward a step and rolls into a crouching position, saying into his codec "This is Snake. I'm done here." ("こちらスネーク、これより帰還する。", This is Snake, returning from here.).

Sonic[edit]

Left: Sprints off-screen and then sprints back on-screen before giving a thumbs up and saying "That was almost too easy!" ("モタモタしてると置いてくぜ!", Leaving behind to be dawdling!). It highly resembles the SEGA logo animation from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Up: Runs up and collects the blue Chaos Emerald and then poses with it before saying "Piece of cake!" ("A piece of cake! 楽勝だぜ!", A piece of cake! An easy win!). The Japanese line is a quote taken from Sonic takes out a wave of enemies Sonic Heroes and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
Right: Performs the pike, a breakdancing move, and then jumps in the air, spinning while curled up in a ball, and once he lands, strikes a pose while saying "Let's do that again sometime!" ("Hey guys! また遊んでやるぜ!", Hey guys! I'll play again next time!) The Japanese line is a reference to his victory quote after defeating a boss in Sonic Adventure.

Sora[edit]

Left: Jumps in the air ceremoniously, spins his Keyblade around, and then rests it on his shoulder while saying "Yes." (良し, Alright.) This is similar to one of his victory animations when he wins a round in one of the cups from the Olympus Coliseum area in the original Kingdom Hearts, which, in turn, resembles Cloud's victory animation in Final Fantasy VII. The pose at the end is similar to his Tetsuya Nomura artwork from Kingdom Hearts and, by extension, his P1/P5 render pose.
Up: Swings the Keyblade forwards twice, then turns around and rests it on his shoulder while facing his back towards the player. This is also another one of his victory animations in the Coliseum, which in turn, references Squall Leonhart's victory pose in Final Fantasy VIII.
Right: Thrusts his Keyblade forwards, then spins it around, and points it upwards while holding it both hands. Slightly resembles the summoning animations in Kingdom Hearts.

Steve[edit]

Left: A Creeper is shown onscreen, which promptly explodes as Steve humorously lands directly in front of the camera without an animation.
Up: Eats a Steak while the camera angle changes, and then burps. It is similar to his side taunt.
Right: Quickly builds a house similar to ones found in villages and stands outside of it, then closes the door.

Steve's Up victory pose was changed in update 9.0.1; previously, Steve held the Steak even after he finished eating it.

Terry[edit]

Left: Terry turns around and throws his hat to the side while shouting "Okay!". Based on his signature victory pose in virtually every appearance he makes, more specifically his victory pose for Fatal Fury 2.
Up: Terry briefly wipes his nose before taking his hat, turning it to the side a bit and tossing it off saying “Okay!” in a much more intense fashion than his left pose. Based on his victory pose from The King of Fighters '94 and '95.
Right: Terry brushes his hat against his right leg a couple times before putting it back on his head and looking away with his eyes covered. Based on his Round 1 victory pose from Real Bout Fatal Fury, and several other games thereafter.

Toon Link[edit]

Left: Waves the Wind Waker, ending in a pose similar to his official artwork from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Up: Chases a pig. Upon catching the pig, he holds it above his head. Whilst balancing on one foot, he occasionally starts to lose balance before retaining it again.
Right: Tries to catch a pig, but ends up tripping and falling on his bottom. He then proceeds to rub his bottom for the rest of the victory pose while sheepishly smiling.

Villager[edit]

Left: Catches a horned dynastid with their net and shows it off.
Up: Digs up a fossil and shows it off.
Right: Does a Dance Spin then poses in their SSB4 artwork pose.

Wario[edit]

Left: Walks forward, pats his belly twice, then farts, sniffs his behind and scratches his head, saying "Ooh!" in surprise.
Up: Does donuts with his motorcycle, stops facing the screen saying "Yes." plucks the end of his mustache and holds up three fingers in the shape of a W.
Right: Laughs gloatingly and then falls over, rolling on his back.

Wolf[edit]

In any victory pose, there's a chance Wolf will say "Playtime's over, Star Fox!" ("遊びは終わりだ、スターフォックス！", Playtime is over, Star Fox!) if Fox was present during the match.

Left: Raises his right hand towards his face. He then moves his arms in alternating circular motions before bringing his left arm towards his right side. He then concludes by swinging out his left arm while raising his right, assuming a martial arts stance. This may be in reference to his idle stance in Brawl.
Up: Performs two alternating slashes and an inverted roundhouse kick, saying "You're good, but I'm better." (貴様を倒すのはこの俺様だ！, You will be defeated by the very me!). After the kick, Wolf assumes a low-postured stance in which he raises his right arm behind himself while he holds out his left while smirking.
Right: While facing away from the camera, Wolf raises his right arm. He then turns quickly toward the camera, gesturing towards the screen with his claws. During the entirety of the pose, he says "Heh, weaklings, the lot of you." (ふんっ、弱者どもめ。, Hmph, such weak ones.)

Yoshi[edit]

Left: Does a flutter jump, spins once, and gives the V sign. Based on an animation from "Yoshi's Story" when a stage is completed.
Up: Punches the air twice, spins, and poses while standing on one foot. (Based on his "character chosen" animation from Smash 64 but has been drastically altered.)
Right: Angrily, he punches a few times, performs a roundhouse kick and then turns his back on the screen facing right.

Young Link[edit]

Left: Inspects his outfit, adjusts his belt and flicks his nose. Based on one of his idle animations from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Right: Performs a stretch kick and then swings her leg into position to perform a modified passé while grunting. Her leg motions and ending pose seems to "draw out" her series symbol, with the stretch kick being the "circle" and the ending pose being the "S".

Trivia[edit]

The left and up animations for Palutena and the up animation specifically for the odd numbered costumes for Bayonetta have slightly different mouth movements exclusive to the Japanese and Chinese language versions. These changes were made due to the voice lines in said languages lasting significantly shorter than all other languages, which would have both characters silently move their mouths otherwise.
Masahiro Sakurai showed an early version of Mythra's left victory animation in a YouTube video, notably with the tip of the Aegis blade having a significantly lower polygon count. Sakurai requested the polygon count be increased to look better.^[1]
