Editing Palutena's Guidance

{{ArticleIcons|ssb4-u=y|ultimate=y}}
'''Palutena's Guidance''' is [[Pit]]'s [[Smash Taunt]], performed on [[Palutena's Temple]] in {{forwiiu}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. When it is activated, a conversation is initiated about an opponent Pit is facing in the same fashion as [[Snake]]'s [[Codec Conversations]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It was first announced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza]]''.

==Origin==
[[File:ConverUp.jpg|thumb|Pit having a conversation with Palutena in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'']]
Palutena's Guidance is based upon the conversations Pit would have with other characters throughout ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. The dialogue appears on either the bottom screen or the top screen, with gameplay happening on the top screen and character portraits appearing on the bottom screen. The conversations primarily involve Pit, [[Palutena]], [[Viridi]], Medusa, and Hades talking about the task at hand. Other characters (both friend and foe) can also participate in them, though many conversations end up going on tangents, or do not even relate to the task at all. Some conversations show up randomly and are dependent on what chapter and segment are being played, or even Pit's selected weapon.

==In ''Smash''==
[[File:Pit Smash Taunt.png|thumb|350px|Palutena's Guidance during a match between Pit and Pichu.]]
The Smash Taunt can be activated by Pit on Palutena's Temple. During the match, the player must press the [[Taunt|down taunt]] button for one frame. When this is done successfully, Pit will perform a crouching animation for five seconds, during which time he is immobile. As long as this animation completes without interruption, a conversation will begin. The Smash Taunt can only be done once per match, even if it was unsuccessful due to the animation's interruption. It also cannot be performed on the [[Ω form]] nor [[Battlefield form]] of Palutena's Temple. If [[Stage Morph]] is on, the morph will be delayed until the conversation ends. Any downloadable characters will simply use a generic conversation where Palutena has no info about them, with the exception of {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} in ''Ultimate.''

Pit's Smash Taunt references the various conversations that he could have with Palutena throughout ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''; in addition to reusing the same artwork for the conversation boxes, the conversations feature the game's light-hearted, comical tone, complete with occasional points where the topic becomes irrelevant or the two break the fourth wall.

In addition to Palutena and Pit, ''Kid Icarus'' character [[Viridi]] appears in several of the conversations, also utilizing her artwork from ''Kid Icarus Uprising''. In a handful of conversations, namely the one about [[Dark Pit (SSBU)|him]], the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, and {{SSBU|Wolf}}, Dark Pit also joins in. In ''Wii U'', [[Chrom]] joins in on the conversation regarding {{SSB4|Robin}}, using his portrait from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. In ''Ultimate'', [[Alucard]] makes a cameo during {{SSBU|Richter}}'s conversation, using his portrait from ''Symphony of the Night'', and having an echo effect on his voice similar to the one heard in the same game.

In ''Ultimate'', the Smash Taunt returns with a few significant reworks. New conversations were provided for characters that were absent in the base roster of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', including the game's DLC characters. The majority of conversations were re-purposed from the previous game for most of the veterans, but six receive new conversations: {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Zelda}}, {{SSBU|Sheik}} and {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} (all who are based on different incarnations of the characters throughout ''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise), {{SSBU|Ike}} (due to the return of his ''Path of Radiance'' appearance), and {{SSBU|Robin}} (due to [[Chrom (SSBU)|Chrom's]] inclusion as a separate playable character and consequently receiving his own conversation, as Robin's previous conversation alluded to the fact that he had no such status). Hynden Walch does not return as Viridi's voice actor; instead, Dayci Brookshire<ref>https://twitter.com/Dayci/status/1071117564397277185</ref> is the voice of Viridi, who re-recorded the dialogue used in ''SSB4'' alongside providing new dialogue.

==Conversations (''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'')==
==={{SSB4|Bowser}}===
:'''Pit:''' When I think of Bowser, I always picture him deep in [[mariowiki:Bowser's Castle|his castle]], steeling himself for a fight.

:'''Viridi:''' Or, you know, [[mariowiki:Mario Golf (series)|playing golf]] or [[mariowiki:Mario Kart (series)|racing a go-kart]].

:'''Pit:''' He's looking pretty aggro today. Must be because he's in a fighting game.

:'''Viridi:''' When [[Mario]] [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|first fought Bowser]], I hear he had to use an {{iw|mariowiki|axe}} to chop down a rope bridge and drop the big guy.

:'''Palutena:''' It all sounds like something from an 8-bit action movie!

:'''Pit:''' I won't lie. I'm a little scared.

:'''Palutena:''' Don't be. Bowser may be powerful, but he also leaves big openings. Fight smart and look for chances to counterattack.

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Viridi comments "growing bigger seems like a trend for [Bowser]", reflecting how Bowser frequently transforms into {{iw|mariowiki|Giant Bowser}} in recent ''Mario'' games.

==={{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}===
:'''Pit:''' Is that Bowser Jr.?

:'''Viridi:''' Yes. He's the heir to the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa]] throne.

:'''Palutena:''' I wonder if his [[Bowser (SSB4)|father]] bought him that {{iw|mariowiki|Junior Clown Car}}. It's decked out with all sorts of bells and whistles.

:'''Pit:''' Hey, I just thought of an even better name for it. How about...the Shellicopter?!

:'''Viridi:''' ...Needless to say, the ''Junior Clown Car'' is one tricky vehicle.

:'''Palutena:''' It's immune to many attacks, so strike when Bowser Jr. is exposed.

:'''Viridi:''' So what you're saying is to hit him from above, right?

====[[Koopalings]]====
:'''Palutena:''' That's one of the Koopalings, [name of Koopaling].{{NTSC}}/That's one of Bowser's Minions, [name of Bowser's Minion]. {{PAL}}

:'''Pit:''' Hmm. The resemblance to Bowser Jr. is strong.

:'''Palutena:''' That [[Koopa Clown Car]] is the mass-produced type.

:'''Pit:''' I guess as heir to the throne, Bowser Jr. would get preferential treatment.

:'''Viridi:''' The relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings is a real mystery.{{NTSC}}/The relationship between Bowser and these Minions is a real mystery. {{PAL}}

:'''Pit:''' I kind of feel bad for them. {{NTSC}}/I kinda feel bad for them.{{PAL}}

:'''Palutena:''' That's sweet of you but not very conducive to taking them down, Pit.

Notes:
*Although the exact same voice clip is used for Pit's line about feeling bad for the Koopalings in both versions, the text either says 'kind of' or 'kinda', depending on which version is played.
*Viridi's remarks about the mysterious relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings refers to Nintendo's changing stance on the characters. The Koopalings were initially referred to as Bowser's children in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', but this background was later discarded and the Koopalings are currently classified as captains of his army.
*In ''Ultimate'', the conversation uses the one seen in the NTSC version of ''for Wii U'' across all English versions, since the term "Koopalings" has officially been used for PAL regions in recent ''Mario'' games starting with ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}''.

==={{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}===
:'''Pit:''' Whoa... It's Captain Falcon!

:'''Viridi:''' Oh, he's a captain! What ship does he command?

:'''Pit:''' I think he's more like a pilot or something.

:'''Viridi:''' All these fighters have tons of skill and experience, but you can still hold your own. If we brought vehicles into the picture, though, that would be a totally different story.

:'''Pit:''' Good thing that's not the case. I'd be no match for an [[Blue Falcon|F-Zero machine]] or an [[Arwing]].

:'''Viridi:''' Plus, those G-Diffuser systems are terrible for the environment.

:'''Pit:''' Uh, you sure know a lot about space machinery. For being the goddess of nature and all.

:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, if you're near Captain Falcon, watch out for his jump-and-[[Falcon Punch]] combo.

Note: The G-Diffuser system (short for "Gravity Diffuser") is the anti-gravity device that allows F-Zero machines to float off of the surface of the racetracks. The same technology is used for Arwings, [[Landmaster]]s, and other vehicles seen in the {{uv|Star Fox}} series; it is regularly implied that the two series are set in the same universe.

==={{SSB4|Charizard}}===
:'''Viridi:''' Oh, wow! It's Charizard! Just look at those majestic wings!

:'''Pit:''' Those wings might be majestic to look at, but they don't help much in the [[Fly|flying]] or [[Glide|gliding]] department.

:'''Palutena:''' A little short in the flight department? That sounds like a familiar predicament.

:'''Pit:''' I have no idea what you're talking about.

:'''Viridi:''' Oh, Pit, denial doesn't look good on you. At least Charizard can use its wings for attacking.

:'''Pit:''' And I can use my wings to fly! ...When Lady Palutena grants me the power of flight, that is.

:'''Palutena:''' You know, I've always wondered if the power of flight would work anywhere besides your wings. Like your hair, for instance.

:'''Pit:''' That's not funny! I'd go bald!

:'''Palutena:''' But I digress. Charizard has another attack, called [[Flare Blitz]]. It's powerful but dangerous, even to Charizard. Either way, dodge the attack and keep your distance while waiting for your chance to strike back.

Note: Pit and Palutena mentioning Charizard being "short in the flight department" references the removal of the gliding mechanic previously present in ''Brawl''. It also may refer to how Charizard was originally incapable of learning the move {{iw|bulbapedia|Fly|move}} in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Green'']]. However, according to the {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokédex}}, a Charizard is capable of flying to an altitude of up to 4,600 feet / 1,400 meters,<ref>[[bulbapedia:Charizard (Pokémon)#Pokédex entries 2|List of Charizard's Pokédex entries, provided by Bulbapedia.]]</ref> and has been able to learn Fly as of [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Yellow Version|''Pokémon Yellow'']], making this statement largely incorrect, at least outside of the context of ''Smash''.

==={{SSB4|Dark Pit}}===
:'''Pit:''' Hey! It's Pittoo!

:'''Dark Pit:''' Will you quit calling me that?!

:'''Palutena:''' Now where did you disappear to after the fight with {{iw|icaruspedia|Hades}}?

:'''Viridi:''' Actually, Dark Pit works for me now. He's an officer in the Forces of Nature.

:'''Palutena:''' What?!

:'''Pit:''' No way!

:'''Viridi:''' Just because we fought together once doesn't mean we're all buddy-buddy now. In fact, the [[Lightning Chariot]] and [[Phosphora]] are also both under my command. The battle isn't over yet!

:'''Dark Pit:''' Viridi's interests and mine just happen to overlap, so for this fight, I'll be happy to launch you into the stratosphere!

:'''Palutena:''' Your powers are perfectly matched here.

:'''Viridi:''' It all comes down to skill!

Note: While Dark Pit and the Lightning Chariot are new recruits for Viridi, Phosphora was already aligned with the Forces of Nature in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. This is likely a mistranslation from the Japanese script, where Viridi mentions that the Lightning Chariot was confiscated by Phosphora.

==={{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}===
:'''Pit:''' Oh, look! It's Diddy Kong.

:'''Viridi:''' He's Donkey Kong's little buddy.

:'''Pit:''' Wonder if he'd let me win for a banana.

:'''Palutena:''' Don't underestimate him just because he's a monkey. He's faster and stronger than any human.

:'''Pit:''' As long as he can't fly, I'm good.

:'''Palutena:''' He can't fly, but he does have a [[Peanut Popgun]] and an inexhaustible supply of peanuts to shoot at you.

:'''Pit:''' So? I love peanuts!

:'''Palutena:''' Not when they're pelting you in the face.

:'''Pit:''' I don't know. Still sounds pretty good to me.

:'''Viridi:''' Oh, Pit! What WON'T you do for a snack?

:'''Palutena:''' Fighting does take strength.

:'''Viridi:''' Anyway, if you can hit Diddy Kong at just the right angle, he'll drop his [[Rocketbarrel Pack]].

:'''Palutena:''' However, it explodes when it lands on the ground, so watch out.

==={{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}===
:'''Pit:''' Looks like it's me versus DK.

:'''Palutena:''' His arms are like tree trunks, so his attacks are incredibly powerful. Given his size, he also moves quite quickly. Combine that speed and power with his long reach, and you've got an opponent who's good at almost everything!

:'''Pit:''' Yeah...except for dressing himself. That necktie really doesn't leave much to the imagination.

:'''Palutena:''' True, but it is his signature look. It's probably best not to mention it.

:'''Viridi:''' Yeah, you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of his [[Giant Punch]]es or [[smash attack]]s! When he attacks you, don't use your [[shield]]. Just get out of the way, and then counterattack.

:'''Palutena:''' And watch where you come in for a landing!

==={{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}===
:'''Pit:''' I don't think that's a real doctor.

:'''Palutena:''' I wouldn't be so sure. He delivers crushing blows, so he must be very knowledgeable about anatomy.

:'''Viridi:''' He's a quack. I hear he treats viruses by randomly throwing [[Megavitamins|medication]] at them. Doesn't seem very safe.

:'''Pit:''' I'm so glad Skyworld doesn't have checkups.

:'''Palutena:''' Dr. Mario is slower than the regular Mario, but he's also more powerful. Don't get sent to the emergency room! You don't know what kind of treatment you'll get.

==={{SSB4|Duck Hunt}}===
:'''Pit:''' I don't want to fight that cute dog!

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, you won't. You'll be fighting the dog AND the duck.

:'''Pit:''' So...if I win...is duck on the menu for dinner?!

:'''Palutena:''' Let's take things one step at a time, Pit. These two may seem like a duo, but they're actually a trio! Together, they're known as "Duck Hunt." {{NTSC}}/Let's take things one step at a time, Pit. These two might be called the Duck Hunt Duo, but in some ways, it's kind of like they're a trio. {{PAL}}

:'''Pit:''' So where's the third team member? {{NTSC}}/What?! You mean it's three on one?! {{PAL}}

:'''Palutena:''' Listen, just be careful. You could get [[Smash attack |shot out of nowhere]].

:'''Pit:''' A mysterious sharpshooter, eh? Well, that does make things more exciting!

Note: As Duck Hunt is known as "Duck Hunt Duo" in the PAL versions, Palutena's lines about Duck Hunt's teaming and name are merged in the PAL version. On a related note, the PAL version of Pit's last line more closely matches the original Japanese version.

Regional difference: In the Japanese version, Palutena remarks about Duck Hunt's name in the first line rather than in the middle of the conversation. Pit then notes how the duck, who is the subject of hunting in Duck Hunt's original game, is riding on the dog, which reminds him of a Japanese saying "a duck comes bearing bunching onions", meaning "something surprising but convenient".

==={{SSB4|Falco}}===
:'''Palutena:''' Do you know who this is, Pit?

:'''Pit:''' Falco Lombardi! Ace pilot on the [[Star Fox]] team! Great jumper!

:'''Palutena:''' ...Exactly. [[Captain Falcon]]'s already got the falcon motif. Falco looks more like a pheasant to me.

:'''Pit:''' Mmm, sounds delicious.

:'''Viridi:''' If I were you, I'd keep your voice down. If he hears you, he'll make you eat his boots.

:'''Palutena:''' Falco used to be the leader of a galactic gang, so you can expect him to be good in a fight.

:'''Pit:''' I'm starting to freak out here. I mean, this guy is famous throughout the entire galaxy!

:'''Palutena:''' Watch out for long-range attacks like his {{b|Reflector|Falco}} shot and {{b|Blaster|Falco}}.

:'''Viridi:''' You'll see he's quick on the draw.

==={{SSB4|Fox}}===
:'''Pit:''' Got any tips for fighting Fox?

:'''Palutena:''' Fox McCloud is the leader of the mercenary flight team [[Star Fox]]. His trademark is incredible speed.

:'''Pit:''' "It's about time you showed up, Fox!"

:'''Viridi:''' That was a terrible {{iw|lylatwiki|General Pepper}}, Pit.

:'''Palutena:''' You should be wary of his [[Blaster]] too.

:'''Pit:''' (as {{iw|lylatwiki|Peppy Hare}}) "Everybody, stay alert!"

:'''Palutena:''' Focus, Pit. You might think Fox's Blaster doesn't hurt all that much and ignore it, but you'll soon find out you've taken lots of damage.

:'''Pit:''' (as himself) Sorry—I'm back. OK, I'll just reflect his shots with my [[Guardian Orbitars]]!

:'''Palutena:''' I figured you'd say that.

:'''Pit:''' Huh? Is that...not what I should do?

:'''Palutena:''' Like I said, he's quick on his feet, so there's no telling when he'll suddenly rush in and [[grab]] you. You've got to watch your back constantly when Fox is around.

:'''Pit:''' (as Peppy) "DO A BARREL ROLL!"

==={{SSB4|Ganondorf}}===
:'''Pit:''' This Ganondorf guy really has the evil look down pat.

:'''Palutena:''' He can sometimes take another form. As Ganon, he's known as the King of Porkness.

:'''Viridi:''' It's ACTUALLY the King of Darkness. He's brought [[Hyrule]] to the brink of ruin more times than I can count.

:'''Palutena:''' Hmm. My Archvillain Database doesn't bring up anything about his past.

:'''Pit:''' Wow, I didn't know you had that app.

:'''Palutena:''' Hee hee. A goddess must preserve some sense of mystery.

:'''Pit:''' Huh?

:'''Viridi:''' One thing you should know, Pit, is that there are many different Ganons.

:'''Palutena:''' Just like there are multiple Links and Zeldas.

:'''Viridi:''' But don't let that confuse you. I've spent years studying Ganon canon.

:'''Palutena:''' Remember, Ganondorf is as heavy as he is powerful. Use that to your advantage.

Note: Viridi's statement that there are many different Ganons is only partially correct. While there have been various different Links and Zeldas throughout the series, there have only been two different Ganons: one that has remained the same individual across the series' diverging timelines while appearing in either his Gerudo form or his demonic form, and another that appears exclusively in ''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures'' hundreds of years after the previous Ganon's death in ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''. It may implicitly be referring to the individual versions of Ganon from said diverging timelines, whose characters differ based on the events that occur in their respective timelines. Regardless, this inaccuracy is addressed in the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' version of the conversation; Viridi mentions that Ganondorf is the same individual reincarnated over time.

==={{SSB4|Greninja}}===
:'''Pit:''' What is that? Some kind of ninja frog?

:'''Palutena:''' That's the Pokémon Greninja. Its strengths are agility and speed. What looks like a scarf is actually its tongue.

:'''Viridi:''' As a defensive measure, I suggest rubbing spicy peppers all over yourself.

:'''Pit:''' How can Greninja taste anything with its tongue hanging out like that?

:'''Palutena:''' It could be one of those rare ninjas that just eats very slowly.

:'''Pit:''' What?! But that just makes no sense! ...Anyway, just tell me how to win!

:'''Palutena:''' Greninja creates throwing stars out of compressed water and unleashes them at high speed. This attack is called [[Water Shuriken]]. If Greninja starts to charge its Water Shuriken, be prepared to [[reflect]] it back!

==={{SSB4|Ike}}===
:'''Pit:''' Does Ike look a little different to you? A little...tougher?

:'''Palutena:''' Hmm...

:'''Pit:''' His clothes look different, and his sword looks even more menacing.

:'''Palutena:''' Yes, I suppose you're right.

:'''Pit:''' And he definitely hasn't aged well.

:'''Palutena:''' Well, compared to gods and angels like us, Ike is just a baby.

:'''Viridi:''' I don't know how old you are, Pit, but you don't look like you've grown at all.

:'''Pit:''' Oh, like you're one to talk! How old are you, anyway? Ten?

:'''Viridi:''' A goddess never reveals her age, Pit.

:'''Palutena:''' Break it up, you two. Back to Ike. He has a powerful [[side smash]] that he will send you flying, but that's also his weakness.

:'''Viridi:''' He's very vulnerable at that time, so [[dodge]] it and strike back!

:'''Pit:''' I claim this victory in the name of [[Skyworld]]! SKYWORLD! SKYWORLD!

:'''Viridi:''' YEAH! SKYWORLD! SKYWORLD! SKYWORLD! SKYWORLD!

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Pit says that Ike "still looks young" rather than "hasn't aged well". Additionally, Pit and Viridi mimic Ike's yells when performing [[Aether]] at the end.

==={{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}===
:'''Pit:''' That's Jigglypuff, the Balloon Pokémon.

:'''Viridi:''' Look at the way it floats! It must be light as air.

:'''Palutena:''' Don't let its cuddly appearance fool you. It's one of the most aerodynamic fighters out there. And it has a deadly attack called [[Rest]]. When Jigglypuff lands the move, the effects can be devastating.

:'''Viridi:''' However, that move does render Jigglypuff vulnerable for a short period of time afterward.

:'''Palutena:''' So when you see Jigglypuff start to fall asleep, that's your cue to move in for the kill.

:'''Pit:''' Gotcha. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for when it nods off.

==={{SSB4|King Dedede}}===
:'''Pit:''' Who's this, Lady Palutena?

:'''Palutena:''' That's King Dedede.

:'''Pit:''' So what do I need to know about him?

:'''Palutena:''' He's a heavyweight and has the ability to fly. And his hammer attack is no joke. But every fighter has a weakness. For example, when King Dedede [[Gordo Throw|throws]] a spiky [[Gordo]], you can hit it right back at him. If you can eliminate him by reflecting the Gordo, that will count as your [[KO]].

:'''Pit:''' Uh... what's a KO?

:'''Palutena:''' ...Good luck, Pit.

Regional differences: The entire conversation is heavily altered from the Japanese version: when Pit and Palutena see King Dedede, Palutena utters "Dehh dehh dehh dehh dehh," much to Pit's confusion. At the end, Pit enthusiastically comments that he will attempt to deflect the Gordos, rather than questioning what a KO is.

==={{SSB4|Kirby}}===
:'''Pit:''' It's always easy to pick Kirby out of a crowd.

:'''Viridi:''' Aww! He's so squishy and adorable!

:'''Palutena:''' True, but he's still a formidable foe.

:'''Pit:''' He's got all kinds of moves, and he's top notch at recovering! Does this guy have ANY weaknesses?

:'''Viridi:''' Just what you'd expect: his weight. Or rather, his lack of weight.

:'''Pit:''' So, it shouldn't be hard to send him flying, huh?

:'''Palutena:''' Right. The question is how to do that.

:'''Viridi:''' Oh, that part's easy. Just keep whaling on him. Then we'll see who's stronger: that little puffball<!--Do not link to Jigglypuff's page here, as the name is actually directed towards Pit-->... or Kirby!

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Viridi derisively comments Kirby has "a simple shape as always" at the beginning.

==={{SSB4|Link}}===
:'''Pit:''' Of all the fighters, Link is the one I most want to take down!

:'''Palutena:''' Oh? Why's that?

:'''Pit:''' We were born around the same time, and we both use a bow. He's totally ripping off my style.

:'''Viridi:''' Puh-lease! Comparing Link to you is like comparing a star to a campfire.

:'''Pit:''' What?!

:'''Viridi:''' Just look at those chiseled features! His cheekbones could seriously cut glass.

:'''Pit:''' Uh, earth to Viridi!

:'''Viridi:''' Oh, I'm only kidding. The goddess of nature would never be interested in some hairless monkey!

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, humans aren't all that bad. I could introduce you to him, if you'd like.

:'''Viridi:''' Hmph. If you insist.

:'''Palutena:''' Back to the fight at hand. Pit, you can reflect Link's projectile attacks using your Guardian Orbitars.

:'''Viridi:''' Just watch out for his dreamy [[Clawshot]]!

Note: This conversation references the fact that both ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' were released in 1986 in Japan. Pit's confusion with Viridi's remarks references ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', where she openly expresses distaste for the human race due to their destructive effect on the ecosystems around them.

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Viridi has an additional line of dialogue where she dreamily calls out Link's name, calling him "Link-[[wikipedia:Japanese honorifics#Sama|sama]]".

==={{SSB4|Little Mac}}===
:'''Pit:''' This guy looks ready to fight!

:'''Viridi:''' That's Little Mac. As a boxer, fighting is sort of his thing. No one can match his strength on the ground, but in an aerial battle, he's helpless.

:'''Palutena:''' So you want to get him in the air, and keep him from landing.

:'''Viridi:''' He has a [[Power Meter|power meter]] that, once full, lets him unleash a [[Straight Lunge#KO Uppercut|lethal attack]].

:'''Pit:''' He seems tiny, though...

:'''Viridi:''' Maybe that's why he's LITTLE Mac. But even with his small stature, he's triumphed over many heavyweight boxers. Pretty impressive for a puny HUMAN.

:'''Pit:''' Bring it on! The stronger the opponent, the more interesting the fight!

:'''Viridi:''' That's the spirit!

:'''Pit:''' Uh, I can keep using my weapons, right?

:'''Viridi:''' Ugh! Yes...

==={{SSB4|Lucario}}===
:'''Viridi:''' What the heck is that?!

:'''Pit:''' Oh, that's Lucario. What about it?

:'''Viridi:''' I've never seen a creature with a life force like that! It's like a current of water. Or a whirlpool!

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, you mean Lucario's [[Aura]].

:'''Viridi:''' Aura?

:'''Palutena:''' Lucario can sense the life force—or Aura—emanating from all living things. As Lucario takes more damage, its own Aura grows stronger.

:'''Viridi:''' Ingenious! Lucario sounds like a perfect fit for the Forces of Nature.

:'''Pit:''' We need to focus on the fight at hand.

:'''Viridi:''' You focus on the fight at hand. I gotta catch my new recruit.

:'''Pit:''' No! Stop!

:'''Palutena:''' Pit, a wounded Lucario is stronger than it looks. Be extra careful when it's taken lots of damage.

==={{SSB4|Lucina}}===
:'''Pit:''' That lady's moves are [[clone|awfully similar]] to {{SSB4|Marth}}'s.

:'''Palutena:''' That's Lucina. She used to introduce herself as Marth, so certain similarities seem inevitable.

:'''Pit:''' What? She stole someone else's identity?

:'''Viridi:''' Well, it wasn't quite like that.

:'''Palutena:''' Marth had become a legend by her time—the Hero King. So Lucina took that name to bolster the morale of her own army. Think of it as a symbol of hope in the depths of despair.

:'''Pit:''' That's pretty deep.

:'''Viridi:''' You can't tell by looking at her, but I hear she's got a great sense of humor.

:'''Pit:''' I'll try cracking a few jokes and see if that softens her up.

:'''Palutena:''' The tip of her blade doesn't deal as much damage as Marth's. But her attacks are more balanced, even if they're not tremendously powerful.

Note: The tone of Viridi's last line suggests sarcasm; she may be referencing how Lucina demonstrates a strange sense of humor in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', with other characters commenting on the contrast with her stern personality. On a related note, her official profile states that she is "the least likely to get a joke".

==={{SSB4|Luigi}}===
:'''Pit:''' Look! It's Luigi!

:'''Viridi:''' Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

:'''Pit:''' Aw, don't say that. After all, he even had [[mariowiki:Year of Luigi|his own year]].

:'''Viridi:''' I don't remember that. Though I suppose if he's number two out of all these fighters, that's actually pretty good.

:'''Pit:''' His attacks are no joke.

:'''Viridi:''' You're right. Have you seen his [[Super Jump Punch]] and [[Green Missile]]? In some ways, he might even be stronger than his brother. Too bad about that unfortunate [[wikipedia:Loser_(hand_gesture)|L on his forehead...]]

:'''Pit:''' I'm sure that stands for winner.

Note: This conversation references The Year of Luigi, a promotional advertising campaign in 2013 where Nintendo celebrated Luigi's 30th anniversary since his debut in ''[[Mario_(universe)#Mario_Bros.|Mario Bros.]]'' The part where Pit remarks the L stands for "winner" is a reference to people thinking the L stands for "loser", which was later referenced in the description for Luigi's outfit in ''Super Mario Odyssey''.

Regional differences:
*In the Japanese version, Viridi describes Luigi as the "eternal second place", a phrase originating from his unlock [[notice]] in the Japanese version of ''[[Smash 64]]'' and also said by [[Colonel Roy Campbell]] in the Japanese version of Snake's codec conversation regarding Luigi. These instances are localized in English as "eternal understudy" and "King of Second Bananas" respectively. Pit replies Luigi's title should be "Green Popular Guy", which similarly originates from his unlock notice in the Japanese version of ''[[Melee]]'' and is also used for Luigi's [[Boxing Ring]] title in that version.
*In the Italian version, Viridi comments the L on Luigi's cap stands for "lumaca" (an Italian idiom for "slowpoke", literally "snail"), with Pit replying it stands for "Luigi".

==={{SSB4|Mario}}===
:'''Palutena:''' You know who this guy is, don't you, Pit?

:'''Pit:''' Of course I do! It's Mario!

:'''Palutena:''' He was your first ally in the fight against the [[Subspace Army]]. What you may not know is that he's actually quite famous. There aren't many people who don't know who Mario is.

:'''Pit:''' Man, I don't know whether to fight him or ask him for his autograph.

:'''Palutena:''' Fight first, fanboy later.

:'''Pit:''' Oh, do you think he'll sign my wings?!

Note: Palutena's remarks about Mario being Pit's first ally is a reference to ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Subspace Emissary]]. Upon being sent out by Palutena to take down the Subspace Army, Pit encounters Mario's trophy in the clouds.
Additionally, the earlier half of this taunt bears a striking similarity to that of Snake's [[Codec Conversations#Mario|codec conversation regarding Mario]] in the previous game. Furthermore, the Japanese version's entire conversation is nearly identical to Snake's conversation, with Palutena commenting having a match with Mario is a "once-in-a-lifetime chance" and telling Pit to not to regret it, much like [[Colonel Roy Campbell]] in said conversation.

==={{SSB4|Marth}}===
:'''Pit:''' Get a load of Mr. Fancy Pants here.

:'''Viridi:''' Is that jealousy I detect in your voice, Pit?

:'''Pit:''' Why would I be jealous of Marth?

:'''Viridi:''' Well, he's a prince, for starters. A handsome prince. And you're just—

:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, Prince Marth's most dangerous attack comes from the tip of his sword. Avoid his blade when you're at midrange.

:'''Pit:''' So I should either attack him from a distance, or get up close and personal.

:'''Palutena:''' He's got a counter as well, so be on guard when you go hand to hand. If you're attacking from afar, use [[item]]s to improve your chances.

==={{SSB4|Mega Man}}===
:'''Viridi:''' Hey, look! It's Mega Man!

:'''Pit:''' Is that really him? It is really him! WOW!

:'''Viridi:''' I hope he busts out his [[neutral attack|Mega]] [[neutral aerial|Buster]]!

:'''Pit:''' I wanna see his [[Forward smash|Charge Shot]]!

:'''Palutena:''' [[Down smash|Flame Blast]]!

:'''Viridi:''' [[Leaf Shield]]!

:'''Pit:''' [[Rush Coil]]!

:'''Palutena:''' [[Metal Blade]]!

:'''Viridi:''' [[Up smash|Spark Shock]]!

:'''Pit:''' [[Up aerial|Air Shooter]]!

:'''Palutena:''' [[Crash Bomber]]!

:'''Viridi:''' [[Back aerial|Slash Claw]]!

:'''Pit:''' [[Forward aerial|Flame Sword]]!

:'''Pit, Palutena, and Viridi:''' [[Down aerial|HARD KNUCKLE]]!

Note: Unlike most other conversations, Mega Man's guidance directly lists out the majority of his moveset in ''Smash Bros.'', which are all special weapons gained from the Robot Masters in the original ''Mega Man'' games. This is also the only conversation to have all three character portraits on screen at once.

==={{SSB4|Meta Knight}}===
:'''Pit:''' I wonder what Meta Knight looks like under that mask.

:'''Viridi:''' Apparently quite similar to Kirby.

:'''Pit:''' If he took off his mask, could he inhale things too?

:'''Viridi:''' Maybe. And maybe he has Kirby's [[Copy Ability]] as well.

:'''Pit:''' So if a maskless Meta Knight copied a masked Meta Knight...

:'''Viridi:''' Well, then he'd just be back where he started.

:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, be careful of his quick blade and his [[Mach Tornado|spinning]] [[Drill Rush|attacks]]. They don't have a lot of power, so use your shield until you see an opening.

Note: The conversation references how Meta Knight strongly resembles Kirby underneath his mask, which is only revealed when it shatters upon his defeat.

==={{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}===
:'''Pit:''' Tell me about this fighter.

:'''Palutena:''' Here we have a Mii Brawler.

:'''Pit:''' This fight's gonna be really easy if my opponent's unarmed.

:'''Viridi:''' Listen to Mr. Tough Guy here! That's pretty presumptuous to think that this fight's already in the bag!

:'''Pit:''' Oh, like you're one to talk about looking down on others.

:'''Palutena:''' But Viridi's right. You can't underestimate this foe. The Mii Brawler is far from being "unarmed." Those fists are weapons in and of themselves. They pack a real punch, so you should watch out for even straightforward moves like the [[side smash]].

:'''Pit:''' OK, OK. No talking trash about any of my opponents. At least not until after the fight!

==={{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}===
:'''Pit:''' That gear looks like it belongs to Mega Man.

:'''Palutena:''' Or maybe Samus.

:'''Viridi:''' Wrong and wrong. That's a Mii Gunner. All of them carry arm cannons and backpacks.

:'''Palutena:''' That backpack looks heavy, but that's because it's filled with different types of ammunition.

:'''Viridi:''' How do Mii Gunners choose which type of ammo to shoot?

:'''Palutena:''' There's a motion-controlled trigger in the arm cannon.

:'''Pit:''' So the stance they take when firing tells me where they're aiming!

:'''Viridi:''' Motion control... That's downright REVOLUTIONARY! We should patent that.

:'''Palutena:''' Hmph. Sounds like the goddess of nature has turned into the goddess of commerce.

Note: Viridi's last line is a reference to the [[Wii Remote]] and to how the [[Wii]] console was originally codenamed "Revolution".

==={{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}===
:'''Pit:''' Uhh... What do we have here?

:'''Viridi:''' That's a Mii Swordfighter, Pit. As a general rule of thumb, you should take armed opponents seriously. Which really isn't easy in this case. That Mii is awfully funny looking.

:'''Pit:''' No arguments there.

:'''Viridi:''' But Miis are full of [[special move]]s, so it's essential to figure out what they're capable of quickly. They often have some unexpected techniques too. If you get careless, you may find yourself in big trouble.

==={{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}}===
:'''Pit:''' Hey, it's a [[Shadow Bug]]!

:'''Palutena:''' No, that's just Mr. Game & Watch.

:'''Viridi:''' Watch out for number nine, Pit.

:'''Pit:''' Uh, what are you talking about?

:'''Palutena:''' Mr. Game & Watch's [[Judge]] attack displays random numbers. And when it displays "9," the attack is devastating.

:'''Viridi:''' Getting hit with a nine will knock out any fighter [[One-hit KO|with a single strike]], no matter who it is. When his back is against the wall, Mr. Game & Watch might try his luck with a Judge attack.

:'''Pit:''' Leaving victory up to luck doesn't seem like the best strategy.

:'''Palutena:''' Well, luck is part of every victory.

:'''Viridi:''' So you'd better watch yourself, Pit.

Note: Pit references the Shadow Bugs from ''Brawl''{{'}}s Subspace Emissary as a nod to Mr. Game & Watch's role in the mode; according to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], the Shadow Bugs are a mysterious substance that can be extracted from Mr. Game & Watch, which allowed [[Tabuu]] to create a majority of the members of the Subspace Army. Despite what Viridi says, a Judge with 9 does not actually cause a true one-hit KO, but its knockback and damage are still high enough to KO reliably at around 10%.

==={{SSB4|Ness}}===
:'''Pit:''' I'm picking up on some weird kind of energy here.

:'''Palutena:''' What you feel is Ness's [[PSI]].

:'''Pit:''' What's PSI?

:'''Palutena:''' It's a general term for supernatural abilities.

:'''Pit:''' Supernatural?! Isn't that pretty unscientific?

:'''Palutena:''' Said the angel to the goddess.

:'''Pit:''' What are you getting at?

:'''Palutena:''' Pit, we're having this conversation via telepathy. Meanwhile, the power of flight is a type of psychokinesis, and I see you from the heavens using clairvoyance. Finally, I call you back from the battlefield with something akin to teleportation.

:'''Pit:''' And believe me, I truly appreciate all that...stuff...you do...with things...

:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, if Ness tries to [[recover]] via [[PK Thunder]] and you reflect it, that will really ruin his day. Give it a try when you get a chance!

==={{SSB4|Olimar}}/[[Alph]]===
:'''Pit:''' Oh, it's that explorer guy.

:'''Palutena:''' Did you know that [[Pikmin]] are named after Pikpik carrots, a vegetable native to Hocotate?

:'''Pit:''' Huh. Guess you learn something new every day.

:'''Viridi:''' Enough with the pointless fun facts. Let's talk fighting strategy. Here's what I know about those Pikmin. [[Red Pikmin]] are strong! [[Yellow Pikmin]] fly high! [[Blue Pikmin]] have the mightiest [[throw]]! [[White Pikmin]] are fastest! [[Purple Pikmin]] are heavy and the most powerful! Be sure you remember all this, Pit.

:'''Pit:''' Uh, right.

:'''Palutena:''' There are also [[Winged Pikmin]] that don't attack you. Numerous Pikmin will weigh down the Winged Pikmin. And that's when you should attack!

Notes:
*The conversations about Olimar and [[Alph]] are identical, hence Pit not referring to them by name. Alph is the only alternate character (that isn't a simple gender swap) whose Guidance conversation isn't different from the main character's.
*Like how Snake's [[Codec Conversations#Olimar|codec about Olimar]] has Mei Ling verbally reference "{{SSBBMusicLink|Pikmin|Ai no Uta}}," Viridi listing all of the Pikmin's attributes in order may be a reference to "{{SSBBMusicLink|Pikmin|Tane no Uta}}," which does the same thing in its lyrics (though Viridi does not directly quote it).

==={{SSB4|Pac-Man}}===
:'''Pit:''' Wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka.

:'''Palutena:''' Yes, that's PAC-MAN. He was born in 1980, which means he's one year older than Mario.

:'''Pit:''' Ohhh! Another industry veteran!

:'''Palutena:''' His most famous form is shaped like a pizza missing one slice. He has several attacks in this form.

:'''Pit:''' But the main thing is to avoid him taking a bite out of me.

:'''Palutena:''' Yes, especially with those wings of yours.

:'''Pit:''' What do you mean?

:'''Palutena:''' I bet they'd taste great with a little barbecue sauce.

:'''Pit:''' OK, enough about that!

Note: Pit's initial comment is a reference to the sound Pac-Man makes while eating dots, which is commonly associated with the character. Palutena's talk about Pit's wings is an allusion to [[icaruspedia:Magnus and the Dark Lord|Chapter 2]] of ''{{iw|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', in which Palutena speculates on the tastiness of barbecued angel wings while he flies through a lightning storm.

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Pit comments on Pac-Man's similarity to Kirby at the beginning, rather than mimicking his chomping.

==={{SSB4|Palutena}}===
:'''Pit:''' Wait a minute! Lady Palutena, you're fighting me?

:'''Palutena:''' Don't sound so dismayed. Think of it more as a sporting event and less as...a massacre.

:'''Pit:''' I really don't want to hurt you...

:'''Viridi:''' That's awfully presumptuous of you, Pit!

:'''Pit:''' Please! I know better than anyone else what Lady Palutena's capable of. After all, I fought her once before.

:'''Palutena:''' Good luck, Pit. You're gonna need it. Of course, I won't be giving you any hints during this battle. And no powers or centurions, either!

Note: Pit saying that he has fought Palutena before references [[icaruspedia:Palutena's Temple (chapter)|Chapter 20]] of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', where he is tasked with defeating Palutena after she is possessed by the {{iw|icaruspedia|Chaos Kin}}. The ending of the conversation references not only Pit's Smash Taunt, but also Palutena's role in ''Brawl''; as part of Pit's previous Final Smash, [[Palutena's Army]], Palutena would summon multiple centurions to attack Pit's opponents. However, Pit can still use the Power of Flight despite that being granted by Palutena.

==={{SSB4|Peach}}===
:'''Pit:''' Oh, it's Princess Peach!

:'''Viridi:''' Guess she's taking a break from being kidnapped.

:'''Pit:''' I'm so glad we never have to worry about Lady Palutena. She can take care of herself.

:'''Viridi:''' Really? Wasn't she imprisoned by Medusa for a bit there?

:'''Pit:''' That hardly counts. After all, we were just freshmen back then. That would never happen now that we're more experienced!

:'''Viridi:''' Peach has been in plenty of scrapes herself, so she ought to be quite experienced. And yet she never learns. Sometimes I wonder if she just lets herself get kidnapped for fun.

:'''Palutena:''' I don't know about that. It seems like tossing [[vegetable]]s is more her idea of fun. She'll pelt you with them the entire match if you don't watch it. But she can't reload when she's [[jumping]], so keep your eye on what she's up to.

Note: Viridi's remark about Palutena being imprisoned is a reference to the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' game. Much like Princess Peach, Palutena was the damsel in distress that Pit had to rescue at the end of his journey.

==={{SSB4|Pikachu}}===
:'''Viridi:''' Aw, look at that cute little guy.

:'''Pit:''' It's a [[Pokémon]]!

:'''Palutena:''' And not just any Pokémon!

:'''Viridi:''' Actually, that Pokémon is called a Pikachu. Pikachu evolves from [[Pichu]]. And when a Pikachu is fully evolved, it becomes a [[Raichu]].

:'''Palutena:''' It's quite rare for a Pokémon to be more famous in its middle stage than its final evolution.

:'''Viridi:''' True, but Pikachu is a special case. I mean, it's the most famous of all the Pokémon.

:'''Pit:''' Uh, excuse me! Hello?

:'''Palutena:''' What is it, Pit?

:'''Pit:''' I hate to interrupt your musings on Pokémon, but I could really use some [[Smash Bros.]] help right about now!

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, right. I forgot where we were. OK, here's a tip: dodge Pikachu's {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}}, and then counterattack.

:'''Viridi:''' You can also zap Pikachu by [[Reflection|reflecting]] its Thunder back at itself! And nothing is more satisfying than that!

==={{SSB4|Pit}}===
:'''Pit:''' Wait a sec! Is that...me?

:'''Palutena:''' It certainly appears to be the case.

:'''Pit:''' You're awfully calm about this, Lady Palutena!

:'''Palutena:''' Well, we've been through [[Dark Pit|a similar situation]] in the past. Don't you recall?

:'''Pit:''' Yeah, but it's still freaky. It's like looking through a twisted mirror! That reminds me. You know how Dark Pit came from [[icaruspedia:Mirror of Truth|a mirror]]? Then why doesn't he move left when I move right, and vice versa?

:'''Palutena:''' Beats me.

:'''Pit:''' But you're supposed to know everything! Don't you have an all-seeing eye and an all-knowing brain and all that?

:'''Palutena:''' My all-seeing eye sees you getting hit.

:'''Pit:''' Oh, man, really?

:'''Palutena:''' I'm sure the true Pit would triumph over any doppelgänger. So I guess now we'll see if you're the real deal!

:'''Pit:''' I meant to ask you about one more thing. Have you noticed that I can kind of fly on my own a bit?

:'''Palutena:''' Actually, it's called [[double jump|jump]]ing, Pit. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.

==={{SSB4|R.O.B.}}===
:'''Palutena:''' Look at that cute little robot!

:'''Pit:''' R.O.B. isn't a very creative name for a robot.

:'''Palutena:''' I think it has a certain ring to it.

:'''Pit:''' No way! Any name is better than R.O.B.! Like, hmm... How about Mr. HVC-012?

:'''Palutena:''' That doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...

:'''Pit:''' How about Robobuddy, Third Edition?

:'''Palutena:''' And what happened to the first two editions?

:'''Pit:''' Oh, good point. How about Zzzrt...Blaaat...Tron?

:'''Palutena:''' Let's just keep things simple by calling him R.O.B.

:'''Viridi:''' The light on its head shows you the strength of the laser it's about to fire. The moment you forget about it, it'll unleash its laser at maximum power, so watch out!

Note: Pit pronounces R.O.B. as three separate letters; like how the [[Crowd]] says it in R.O.B.'s [[Crowd cheer]], but unlike how Palutena and the [[announcer]] pronounce it as a full name. Pit's nickname for R.O.B., "Mr. HVC-012", is a reference to the product number of R.O.B. in Japan.

==={{SSB4|Robin}}===
[[File:pitsdowntauntchrom.PNG|thumb|Chrom's appearance in the conversation about Robin.]]
:'''Pit:''' There's something weird about this fighter, Lady Palutena.

:'''Palutena:''' That's Robin — also known as the Avatar.

:'''Pit:''' I wonder where [[Chrom]] is.

:'''Palutena:''' Who knows? Probably taking a nap at home.

:'''Chrom:''' I'm no idle layabout.

:'''Pit:''' Whoa! Where did you come from?!

:'''Chrom:''' Robin is a skilled strategist and master of both the [[Levin Sword]] and magic. Certainly more useful than a simple swordsman like myself.

:'''Viridi:''' Plus, you and Ike are too similar. No point in having two characters that are pretty much [[clone|carbon copies]]. Am I right?

:'''Chrom:''' Excuse me?!

:'''Palutena:''' What's more, you don't have an [[Aether]] [[recovery]] move like Ike does, do you?

:'''Chrom:''' Quiet, you!

:'''Palutena:''' Heh heh. Back to the topic at hand. Robin can use the Levin Sword and magic only so many times. Use this limit to your advantage, Pit.

:'''Pit:''' Got it! This fight is in the bag!

:'''Chrom:''' I wouldn't be so sure. For [[Pair Up|Robin's Final Smash]], I plan on lending a hand. And then you'll taste the bitterness of defeat!

:'''Viridi:''' We know you're trying to play the hero and all, but you can only join in if Robin gets the [[Smash Ball]], right?

:'''Chrom:''' You'll taste the bitterness of defeat! ...Right after Robin gets the Smash Ball.

Notes:
*Palutena's quip about Chrom taking a nap refers to one of his {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Barracks}} quotes in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' regarding what he does during his free time.
*Contrary to what Palutena says, Chrom actually can learn Aether in ''Awakening'' as part of his basic skill set as a {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Great Lord}}, and it even appears as part of his moveset in ''Ultimate''. However, Chrom's unique Aether animation in ''Awakening'' doesn't include a vertical jump like Ike's, explaining her reasoning.
*Viridi's remarks about Chrom being similar to Ike also reference the reason for Chrom's exclusion from ''SSB4''; after the reveal of Lucina and Robin as playable characters, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that Chrom was ultimately not included as a playable character because he believed the sword-wielding character would end up being too similar to either Marth or Ike. Ironically, upon Chrom's inclusion in ''Ultimate'', he ended up being a clone of [[Roy]] (who was not playable upon ''Smash 4''{{'}}s release before returning as DLC) rather than Ike.
**However, Sakurai's remark about Chrom being too similar to Marth isn't entirely false, given that Roy and Marth were clones in ''Melee''.

==={{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}===
:'''Palutena:''' And here we have Rosalina.

:'''Viridi:''' Yes, she's the keeper of the {{iw|mariowiki|Comet Observatory}} and mother of the [[Luma]]s.

:'''Pit:''' Why is that comfy pillow following her? ...I love pillows!

:'''Palutena:''' THAT is a Luma. And this is no pillow fight!

:'''Viridi:''' It does look pretty plush, I have to say.

:'''Pit:''' You know, Rosalina seems kind of rough with the little guy.

:'''Viridi:''' There are plenty of Lumas, so losing a few isn't a big deal.

:'''Pit:''' Not a big deal?!

:'''Palutena:''' Lumas will sacrifice everything to protect Rosalina. They might not look like much, but they're powerful enough to send you flying, so be careful.

Regional differences: At the beginning of the Japanese conversation, Palutena calls Rosalina a witch, to which Viridi replies "If Rosalina is a witch, then you or Zelda are also witches!" This references how Rosalina is often referred to as a witch by {{iw|mariowiki|Hint Toad}} within the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' games. Pit also refers to the Luma directly as a "star child" rather than mistaking it for a pillow, in a reference to the Luma race being called as such on some occasions in the Japanese version of ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

==={{SSB4|Samus}}===
:'''Viridi:''' Oh, look. There's Metroid.

:'''Pit:''' That's not a {{b|Metroid|creature}}! That's Samus!

:'''Palutena:''' Just like Link isn't named Zelda.

:'''Viridi:''' And like Pit's name isn't Icarus!

:'''Pit:''' OK, this joke has officially run its course.

:'''Palutena:''' Moving on, then. Pit, you can reflect Samus's [[Charge Shot]] with your Guardian Orbitars. However, Samus can throw a storm of shots at you. If you use your Orbitars too often, she'll know what you're up to. So try to reflect strategically, as opposed to your...usual game plan.

Note: This conversation references confusion that sometimes occurs among players who frequently call the protagonists by the series' name, particularly with [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/link-zelda-confusion-what-if-zelda-was-a-girl some referring to Link as "Zelda"]. The confusion between Pit and the series title of ''Kid Icarus'' is also referenced within the tutorial of ''Uprising'', where Pit asks Palutena, "Who is this 'Icarus' character this game is named after?" Additionally, the Japanese version has Viridi comment on Pit's name not being "Palutena" per the franchise's Japanese name ({{ja|パルテナの鏡|Parutena no Kagami}}, ''Mirror of Palutena'').

==={{SSB4|Sheik}}===
:'''Pit:''' I wish I knew Sheik's [[Zelda|true identity]].

:'''Palutena:''' It is one of the great mysteries of our time.

:'''Viridi:''' Are you guys for real? You can't be serious.

:'''Palutena:''' Compared to the other fighters, Sheik moves very quickly. Don't get overwhelmed by Sheik's speed, especially one-on-one.

Note: Pit and Palutena commenting on Sheik's true identity and Viridi not taking them seriously could be a subtle reference to the legacy of ''Ocarina of Time''. While it is common knowledge in modern times that Sheik is actually Zelda — partially due to their playability in the ''Smash Bros.'' series itself — Sheik's identity is technically one of ''Ocarina of Time''{{'}}s biggest spoilers, revealed late in the game between the second-last and last dungeons.

==={{SSB4|Shulk}}===
:'''Pit:''' I don't think I've seen that guy around.

:'''Palutena:''' That's Shulk. He's 18 years old and clocks in at 5 feet 6 inches.

:'''Pit:''' That's a pretty fancy sword he's got.

:'''Palutena:''' That's the [[Monado]], the sword that defeated the Mechonis.

:'''Pit:''' (with an English accent) Makes us look like a buncha jokers.

:'''Palutena:''' The Monado can [[Monado Arts|change Shulk's strengths and weaknesses]]. For example, it might increase his jumping ability while decreasing his defense.

:'''Pit:''' (normally) So for every strength he gains, he also gains a weakness.

:'''Palutena:''' Yes, and Shulk can KO opponents easier when they've sustained more damage. But if you know his weakness, he's not too difficult to deal with.

:'''Pit:''' (with an English accent) Let's not lose our heads, though!

Notes:
* Pit's unfamiliarity with Shulk references how the {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} series was the newest game universe to be introduced to ''Smash 4'' (and the fact that his universe was completely absent from ''Brawl'' due to not being released until over two years later); it could also reference how ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' was released before ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' in North America.
* Palutena's statement regarding Shulk's height is somewhat inaccurate; his [https://xeno-underground.net/katimus/monado_archives/xba_033.jpg official height] is 171cm, or 5'7". As the correct height is listed in the Japanese version, this was likely a conversion error by the translators.
* Pit's accented lines reference Reyn's postbattle quotes from ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.

==={{SSB4|Sonic}}===
:'''Pit:''' For being a hedgehog, Sonic really isn't very spiky, is he?

:'''Viridi:''' Yeah, I've seen spikier. It's true that you're more likely to find him curled up in a cute, harmless ball.

:'''Palutena:''' Not so harmless. That round shape lets him [[Spin Dash]] with ease.

:'''Pit:''' I've changed my mind. He's entirely too spiky.

:'''Viridi:''' Spin Dashes are hard to stop, though.

:'''Palutena:''' Just keep your cool and don't lose focus. You can stop Spin Attacks using your [[Guardian Orbitars|Orbitars]] or [[Palutena Bow|Bow]].

==={{SSB4|Toon Link}}===
:'''Pit:''' This guy's eyes are the size of my head!

:'''Palutena:''' He must be the famous Toon Link.

:'''Pit:''' Where'd he get that name from anyway?

:'''Palutena:''' It's probably because [[wikipedia:Cel shading|he looks like he jumped right out of a cartoon]].

:'''Pit:''' Ah, I see how it is. Hmph.

:'''Palutena:''' What's the matter, Pit?

:'''Pit:''' It's just not fair, Lady Palutena! One Link is handsome, and the other is adorable! They're cherry-picking the best bits!

:'''Palutena:''' Awww! Is poor Pit feeling a little insecure today?

:'''Viridi:''' Snap out of it, Pit! You have a fight to focus on. Here's the deal: Toon Link is quick but lighter than regular Link.

:'''Palutena:''' Don't get distracted by his weapons...or his intense cuteness! Just calm down and plan the best counterattack.

==={{SSB4|Villager}}===
:'''Viridi:''' Oh look, it's the Villager!

:'''Pit:''' Villager, huh? That's not a very creative name.

:'''Viridi:''' Well, what else do you call someone from a village? Anyway, you've got to respect the Villager. Word has it no one fights fairer than that one.

:'''Pit:''' Why's that?

:'''Viridi:''' Probably because where the Villager's from, there's a mole who goes around punishing cheaters.

:'''Pit:''' [[Mr. Resetti|Resetti]]!

:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, the Villager's [[Lloid Rocket]] can do some real damage, so try your best to [[reflection|reflect]] it back.

Note: Pit's knowledge of Mr. Resetti may be a reference to his role as an [[Assist Trophy]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|the previous game]].

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, instead of mentioning Mr. Resetti, Viridi references how the Villager's name is the first one in ''Smash Bros.'' to be written entirely in {{iw|wikipedia|hiragana}}, much to Pit's surprise.

==={{SSB4|Wario}}===
:'''Pit:''' Um, Wario kind of smells.

:'''Palutena:''' That's to be expected. For his [[Final Smash]], he munches {{iw|mariowiki|Nasty Garlic}} and transforms into his super-antihero alter ego...[[Wario-Man]]!

:'''Pit:''' Uh... Wario-Man?

:'''Palutena:''' Yes. Legend has it that Wario once caught a cold, accidentally ate a piece of Nasty Garlic, and turned into Wario-Man.

:'''Pit:''' Huh. So Nasty Garlic is the key to Wario's power. Great.

:'''Viridi:''' He's a real charmer, that one.

:'''Palutena:''' Speaking of which... Eating seems to make Wario very gassy.

:'''Pit:''' Ugh! TMI!

:'''Palutena:''' I'm only telling you this for your own good. He's a ticking time bomb. Watch out for [[Wario Waft|his sudden farts]]. And all farts in general. They're gross AND dangerous.

:'''Pit:''' ...This job is really the worst sometimes.

Note: Palutena is referencing Wario's appearance as Wario-Man in ''{{iw|mariowiki|WarioWare: Touched!}}'' — however, Wario-Man's first appearance was actually ''{{iw|mariowiki|WarioWare: Twisted!}}''. ''Twisted!'' was released before ''Touched!'' in Japan, but afterwards internationally. Also, TMI is an abbreviation for "too much information".

==={{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}===
====Female====
:'''Pit:''' Who's this now?

:'''Viridi:''' She's a Wii Fit Trainer. She's an exercise coach...of sorts. I hope you're in shape, Pit!

:'''Pit:''' Well, I walk everywhere, so I'm probably fine.

:'''Viridi:''' Oh, of course! You're always at the beck and call of the goddess of light.

:'''Pit:''' Well, angels ARE messengers of the gods!

:'''Viridi:''' That's where you're mistaken, Pit. Angels are nothing more than divine interns.

:'''Palutena:''' In any case, be careful of her [[Sun Salutation]] move. It gets stronger with [[Deep Breathing]].

Note: Pit saying that "angels are messengers of the gods" and Viridi's retort that "angels are nothing more than divine interns" are references to a conversation from ''Uprising'', where Pit asks Palutena if all gods have angels and Viridi replies with a similar comment.

====Male====
:'''Pit:''' Who's that fellow?

:'''Palutena:''' He's a Wii Fit Trainer. He's an exercise coach... more or less. Pit, do you exercise regularly?

:'''Pit:''' You know it!

:'''Palutena:''' Is that because I work you too hard?

:'''Pit:''' Oh, no no no! Serving you gives my life meaning. I just...need to do a little cardio to keep up with your demands.

:'''Palutena:''' You're so sweet, Pit.

:'''Pit:''' And always at your service, Lady Palutena.

:'''Palutena:''' Watch out for his Sun Salutation move. It gets stronger with Deep Breathing.

Note: The Wii Fit Trainer is the only fighter who has two completely unique conversations depending on the subject's gender.

==={{SSB4|Yoshi}}===
:'''Pit:''' It's Yoshi!

:'''Viridi:''' Let me get this straight. Yoshi [[Egg Lay|lays eggs]], but he's actually male?

:'''Pit:''' Uhh, shouldn't you know that, O goddess of nature?

:'''Viridi:''' There's nothing natural about this guy!

:'''Pit:''' Yeah, I see your point.

:'''Palutena:''' Well, all living beings contain both female and male elements. It appears Yoshi is no different.

:'''Pit:''' I wonder what's inside all those eggs... Chocolate?

:'''Palutena:''' Focus, Pit. If you use your shield when Yoshi's pulling off an [[Egg Roll]], you can [[grab]] him. Keep that in mind.

Note: This conversation is similar to Snake's [[Codec Conversations#Yoshi|codec conversation regarding Yoshi]], as in both conversations, the characters question how Yoshi lays eggs even though he is male.

==={{SSB4|Zelda}}===
:'''Palutena:''' This isn't quite the Zelda you're used to.

:'''Pit:''' I hear she no longer changes form in battle.

:'''Palutena:''' That's right, but she's got a new special move: the [[Phantom Slash]].

:'''Pit:''' Where does she get the Phantom from?

:'''Palutena:''' It's hard to say. Magic?

:'''Pit:''' WOW! I didn't realize she was such a powerful magician.

:'''Palutena:''' I could do something similar, I'm sure. But it's pretty dark magic. Now, what part of you should I use to make your Phantom?

:'''Pit:''' My Phantom?! Uh, you don't have to do that for me, Lady Palutena!

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, don't be scared! I'll just equip you and-

:'''Pit:''' Uh what will it cost me?

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, I don't know. Maybe just your...soul?

:'''Viridi:''' Hahahaha! Look how pale he got! You're really scaring him! Listen, Pit, if you can knock Zelda's Phantom out, she won't be able to call it back for a bit. Keep an eye on her.

Note: Palutena's comment about dark magic references ''Spirit Tracks'', where Zelda had the ability to control Phantoms. It may also be referencing ''Phantom Hourglass'', where the Phantoms were creations of the antagonist, Bellum.

==={{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}===
:'''Pit:''' Who's that woman?

:'''Palutena:''' That's Zero Suit Samus. She usually wears heavy armor, but not in this incarnation. Even so, she's still pretty powerful.

:'''Pit:''' She has some pretty hurty-looking equipment. Getting kicked by those Jet Boots has gotta sting!

:'''Palutena:''' You have a good deal of "hurty-looking equipment" yourself, Pit.

:'''Pit:''' Yeah, and can you believe that there are some fighters that battle empty handed? Crazy!

:'''Palutena:''' It's all about discipline, not weaponry. Don't worry, though. When we get home, I'll enroll you in Palutena's Boot Camp. That'll fix you right up.

:'''Pit:''' Or I can just keep my weapons. Yeah, let's do that.

:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, Zero Suit Samus is a difficult target to hit. Keep your attack sure and steady.

==Conversations (''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'')==
These conversations are new to ''Ultimate''. The majority of veterans that were in the base roster of ''Smash 4'' reuse their dialogue from {{forwiiu}}, with the exceptions of Ganondorf, Ike, Link, Robin, Sheik, and Zelda, as well as Mii Gunner and Wario through updates. These new and altered conversations are listed below.

==={{SSBU|Bayonetta}}===
:'''Pit:''' An Umbra Witch has entered Skyworld! AHHHHH!

:'''Palutena:''' Bayonetta. Nemesis of angels. Slaughterer of Centurions. Wearer of questionable outfits.

:'''Pit:''' I wonder why Bayonetta hunts angels.

:'''Palutena:''' If I had to guess, I'd say she drags them to the underworld so demons can devour their souls...

:'''Pit:''' AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Whooooo... OK. But the angels Bayonetta hunts aren't nice angels like me. They're monsters...right?

:'''Viridi:''' Angels can take many forms, just as goddesses can. Take Palutena for instance... Her current appearance is something humans can comprehend, but it's not her true form.

:'''Palutena:''' You're one to talk, Viridi.

:'''Viridi and Palutena:''' Hahahaha!

:'''Pit:''' HAHAHAHA! Fighting...tips...PLEASE?!

:'''Viridi:''' Ugh. If you get caught in one of her combos, just...like...[[SDI|wiggle around]] or something.

Note: Palutena calling Bayonetta a "wearer of questionable outfits" is likely based on her default clothes being made entirely of her own hair, which also exposes parts of her body when using the Wicked Weaves (an aspect which is heavily censored in ''Smash Bros.''). Viridi's advice telling Pit to "just wiggle around" out of her combos may jokingly reference the derisive "Just [[SDI]]" meme that appeared in response to complaints about Bayonetta in ''Smash 4'', as SDI is considered to be one of the most effective methods to escape Bayonetta's aerial strings.

==={{SSBU|Chrom}}===
:'''Pit:''' Whoa! It's Chrom!

:'''Viridi:''' He finally made it to the fight!

:'''Palutena:''' He's the prince of the [[fireemblemwiki:Ylisse|Halidom of Ylisse]]... and the descendant of the Hero-King [[Marth]].

:'''Pit:''' Marth's sword and Chrom's sword are both named [[Falchion]], right? The designs seem a bit different. Are they really the same sword?

:'''Palutena:''' The sword Chrom wields is Falchion, but Marth's sword is Exalted Falchion.

:'''Viridi:''' And Lucina's sword is Parallel Falchion.

:'''Pit:''' {{rollover|Falchion|Fol-chin|y}}. {{rollover|Falchion|Fal-chi-on|y}}. That word makes no sense!

:'''Palutena:''' Falchion can become the Exalted Falchion once the Fire Emblem brings out its true form.

:'''Pit:''' If Chrom can fight Marth using a weaker sword, Chrom must be stronger.

:'''Viridi:''' I wouldn't say that. I mean, [[Wario]] launches people with [[Wario Waft|farts]]. Pretty sure the style of weapon doesn't make a huge difference.

Note: Viridi's line "He finally made it to the fight!" references Robin's Guidance in ''for Wii U'', where Viridi mocks Chrom for his absence as a fighter at the time. Palutena referring to Chrom's sword as simply "Falchion" (as opposed to Marth's Exalted Falchion and Lucina's Parallel Falchion) was originally "Sealed Sword Falchion" in the Japanese version, which is what Chrom's sword prior to its upgrade is called in ''Awakening''. The localization of ''Awakening'' changed it to simply Falchion, and ''Ultimate'' followed suit with this.

==={{SSBU|Cloud}}===
:'''Pit:''' Who's this handsome devil?

:'''Palutena:''' You mean Cloud? SOLDIER 1st Class?

:'''Pit:''' And I thought MY hair was spiky!

:'''Viridi:''' Too bad you don't have any fire moves. He's like 50% hair spray.

:'''Palutena:''' And 50% [[Buster Sword]]. It's pretty impressive. Beware his [[Limit Charge]]. Once his gauge is full, he can unleash a devastating attack.

:'''Viridi:''' One of his Limit Break moves is called [[Finishing Touch]]. It doesn't do much damage, but it can launch you off the stage in a split second!

:'''Pit:''' Now that I know Cloud's tricks, this one's in the bag! / Not a problem! We're playing [[Stamina mode]]!

:'''Viridi:''' Don't let Cloud rain on your parade. Strategy is key!

Note: Pit's last line will change depending on whether or not the player is currently in a Stamina match.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr2zPiBZzXQ Cloud's guidance (Stamina)]</ref> Contrary to Palutena's claim, Cloud never made it into SOLDIER. However, this may be an attempt to conceal an important plot point in ''Final Fantasy VII''; Cloud believes he is a SOLDIER 1st Class at the beginning of the story, but it is later revealed that a traumatic incident caused him to inherit the memories of his friend Zack Fair, who was an actual SOLDIER 1st Class.

==={{SSBU|Corrin}}===
:'''Pit:''' For {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Nohr}}! For {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Hoshido}}! I make my own fate!

:'''Palutena:''' Sounds like someone finally finished all three paths.

:'''Viridi:''' When you're fighting Corrin, watch out for [[Dragon Fang Shot|Dragon Fang]]. Corrin transforms into a dragon to attack. It's not pretty.

:'''Palutena:''' Corrin has led a rough life. Having to make enemies of your family can't be easy...

:'''Viridi:''' As they say, "blood is thicker than water." But they also say "A close friend is better than a distant relative," so I dunno.

:'''Pit:''' But all the siblings have dragon blood in their veins, right? Why can't they just be one big, happy family?

:'''Palutena:''' ...If only it were that simple.

:'''Viridi:''' You're thinking about it too hard. The roots may be more important than the branches, but you need the branches to...uh...get the fruit. Or whatever.

Note: The beginning of this Guidance directly breaks the fourth wall, referring to the three story paths of ''Fire Emblem Fates'': ''Birthright'', ''Conquest'', and ''Revelation''. All three exclamations are also quotes that Corrin can announce upon activating a critical hit or skill.

==={{SSBU|Daisy}}===
:'''Pit:''' Princess Peach?

:'''Palutena:''' Actually, that's Princess Daisy, princess of {{iw|mariowiki|Sarasaland}}. She was kidnapped by a space alien named {{iw|mariowiki|Tatanga}}, but Mario rescued her.

:'''Pit:''' Right. Kidnapped, then rescued by Mario. Princess Peach!

:'''Palutena:''' No, Daisy doesn't get kidnapped as often as Peach does.

:'''Pit:''' OK, I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down. "Daisy" always gets kidnapped by "Tatanga". Wink!

:'''Viridi:''' Look, Daisy is a totally different person from Peach! She's much more, like...energetic...and stuff. You know, she's a go-getter! Plus, her symbol is a daisy. Pretty cool to have a symbol that's also your name.

:'''Pit:''' Yeah, but have you ever seen Peach and Daisy in the same place at the same time?

:'''Palutena:''' Pit, if you had a symbol, it would be in the shape of an armpit.

Note: Pit mistaking Daisy for Peach may be referencing how Daisy's color palette was an alternate costume for Peach prior to ''Ultimate''. It may also reference how Daisy herself used to more closely resemble Peach in the ''Mario'' series prior to ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Party 4}}''.

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Pit remarks that Tatanga does not kidnap Daisy as much as Bowser does; he also  becomes jealous of Daisy for having a symbol that is also her name, with Palutena replying that his symbol would be a "pitfall".

==={{SSBU|Dark Samus}}===
:'''Palutena:''' Is that Dark Samus?!

:'''Pit:''' You know her?

:'''Palutena:''' She's a being of pure Phazon created after Metroid Prime absorbed DNA from Samus's Phazon Suit.

:'''Pit:''' No wonder she looks like Samus.

:'''Viridi:''' Samus's suit and a Metroid combined? There's no way she isn't strong.

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, she's strong all right. Along with ruthless and cunning.

:'''Pit:''' Um, so what's a Phazum?

:'''Palutena:''' It's Phazon. A blue radioactive substance that can produce massive amounts of energy. However, it can suddenly mutate and become invasive to mineral elements, making it incredibly dangerous.

:'''Viridi:''' The monkeys never should have messed with the stuff, but they insisted and it blew up in their faces.

:'''Palutena:''' Dark Samus was defeated, but the power of Phazon brought her back. A sentient Phazon being with free will. Between Dark Samus and Ridley, Samus has no shortage of archenemies.

Note: Viridi's line about how "the monkeys never should have messed with the stuff", and how it "blew up in their faces" is misleading: she might be referring to the Galactic Federation (which is made up of humans, or "monkeys" as Viridi calls them) and their production of Phazon Enhancement Devices, but the non-human Space Pirates were actually the first to experiment with Phazon. The former's use of Phazon, however, did not have as negative an impact as the latter. Viridi could also be referring to the terminal corruption state experienced by the Federation-hired bounty hunters Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda due to overuse of their Phazon Enhancement Devices, a miscalculation the Federation failed to foresee, thus unknowingly putting their lives in danger.

==={{SSBU|Ganondorf}}===
:'''Pit:''' Ganondorf?! Oh man...

:'''Palutena:''' Ganon has taken many forms throughout the ages. This form of Ganondorf is known as the Great King of Evil. He's a Gerudo warlock. The Gerudo are a desert tribe consisting mostly of women, but once every 100 years, a man is born to the Gerudo. Ganondorf is said to be that man.

:'''Viridi:''' Really?! They get one man, and he turns out to be Ganondorf?! Ugh, talk about bad luck.

:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, Ganon gets sealed away. Is resurrected. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum. The end.

:'''Pit:''' What?! There's more to it than that!

:'''Viridi:''' Link is said to be a different person in each incarnation, but some people think Ganondorf is the same person born over and over again.

:'''Pit:''' The ultimate evil that can't be killed. No wonder he's called the Calamity.

:'''Palutena:''' As a fighter, Ganondorf is an aggressive heavyweight. He hits hard, so if you see him winding up, get out of the way and counterattack.

Note: Though Ganondorf's appearance in ''Ultimate'' is based on his incarnation in ''Ocarina of Time'', Pit calls him "the Calamity, the ultimate evil that can't be killed". This refers to {{iw|zeldawiki|Calamity Ganon}}, a primal form of Ganondorf which acts as the main antagonistic force in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}'', who can only be sealed away with the divine power of the Goddess.

==={{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}===
:'''Pit:''' Two of them? That's cheating!

:'''Palutena:''' Say hello to the Ice Climbers. They haven't always had the best cooperation, but their teamwork seems pretty solid now.

:'''Pit:''' OK, sure, but... What about the fact that there are two of them?! Didn't they get kicked out of Smash for illegal teaming?

:'''Palutena:''' Well they're back now, so I'm pretty sure it's allowed. I mean, you could pair up with Dark Pit if you wanted to.

:'''Pit and Dark Pit:''' Never!

:'''Palutena:''' Your physical powers are equally matched. It's a perfect fit, really.

:'''Pit:''' That IS true.

:'''Dark Pit:''' Hmm...

:'''Palutena:''' Now then, which one of you is the leader?

:'''Pit:''' Definitely me!

:'''Dark Pit:''' No way. I'm the leader.

:'''Viridi:''' Oh yeah. They make a perfect team.

:'''Palutena:''' In any case, when fighting the Ice Climbers, defeat Nana first to isolate Popo. Try to separate them!

Notes:
*Pit's comment on the Ice Climbers being "kicked out of ''Smash'' for illegal teaming" is likely a reference to their exclusion from ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', due to technical limitations on the 3DS that it could not handle the mechanics of the two-in-one fighter.
*Palutena's final line assumes that the Ice Climbers are using their default costume, where Popo leads and Nana follows; however, some alternate costumes can reverse this, making Nana the leader and rendering her advice inaccurate. However, it is common for players to address the partner climber as "Nana" regardless of costume for simplicity's sake.

==={{SSBU|Ike}}===
:'''Pit:''' It's Ike!

:'''Viridi:''' There are two versions of Ike. The Path of Radiance version and the Radiant Dawn version.

:'''Pit:''' Dawn? Radiance?

:'''Viridi:''' He's basically either a mercenary or a hero.

:'''Palutena:''' The two versions of Ike may look and sound a bit different, but his strength doesn't change at all.

:'''Viridi:''' But one of them is three years older than the other. Shouldn't the older one be stronger?

:'''Palutena:''' Yeah, you'd think the older one would have three more years of training under his belt.

:'''Pit:''' Maybe he skipped three years of arm days.

:'''Palutena:''' I somehow doubt that. Have you seen the way he swings that sword? One blow from that sword can do more damage than two of yours, Pit. Be careful.

Regional differences: Viridi's reference to Ike as a "mercenary" was "{{iw|fireemblem|ranger|Path of Radiance}}" in the Japanese version, which was Ike's base class in ''Path of Radiance'' ({{iw|fireemblem|Hero}} being Ike's base class in ''Radiant Dawn''). {{iw|fireemblem|Mercenary}} is a similar class in most other ''Fire Emblem'' games that usually promotes to Hero, but does not exist in ''Path of Radiance'' or ''Radiant Dawn''.

==={{SSBU|Incineroar}}===
:'''Pit:''' Ha! That tiger's on fire!

:'''Palutena:''' How astute of you, Pit. That's Incineroar. Before it evolved into this form, it was a cute little {{iw|bulbapedia|Litten|Pokémon}}. Incineroar is unpredictable, self-centered, and rambunctious. Although it's supposedly great with children.

:'''Viridi:''' It specializes in wrestling moves. Brute force is its M.O., but it's no slouch in the technical department either.

:'''Palutena:''' Incineroar is also a performer at heart, so when it lands a big attack, it likes to show off for the crowd.

:'''Pit:''' Now that you mention it, I do hear crowd cheers sometimes. It's almost like an [[Crowd|audience]] is watching us fight.

:'''Palutena:''' Incineroar has an attack called [[Revenge]] that feels like it was inspired by pro wrestling. If Incineroar takes damage while Revenge is active, its body ignites, and its attacks become more powerful!

:'''Pit:''' If that happens, I'll just let everyone else fight Incineroar until it wears off. Then I'll swoop in and steal the KO!

:'''Viridi:''' Sure, if you wanna be THAT guy. Might as well [[Edgeguarding|edge guard]] while you're at it.

Note: Pit's enunciation of the first line emulates that of a wrestling announcer. While Pit says "That tiger's on fire!", the in-game text erroneously says '''"That'''{{'}}s tiger's on fire!"

Regional difference: In the Japanese version, Viridi's last line instead has her saying she "wonder[s] what happens if [Incineroar] fights with {{SSBU|Little Mac}}", possibly referencing [[List of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character trailers#Ken and Incineroar|its reveal trailer]].

==={{SSBU|Inkling}}===
:'''Pit:''' Uh, are you guys seeing this? This girl/guy can transform herself/himself into an octopus!

:'''Palutena:''' A squid, actually. This curious lifeform is an Inkling. They're squids who evolved to shapeshift into human form.

:'''Viridi:''' Inklings rose to power 12,000 years after mammals went extinct.

:'''Pit:''' EXTINCT?!

:'''Viridi:''' Yep. The monkeys were eradicated! BOOYAH!

:'''Pit:''' Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second! If I'm fighting against an Inkling, then... WHAT YEAR IS IT RIGHT NOW?!

:'''Palutena:''' Don't think about it too hard, Pit. It'll just make your brain sweat.

:'''Pit:''' Twelve thousand years of missed meals? Aw man...

:'''Palutena:''' Focus, Pit. If an Inkling hits you with an ink attack, you'll take extra damage until the ink evaporates. However, Inklings can't use ink attacks if their Ink Tank is empty. That's the time to strike!

Note: "BOOYAH" is one of the {{iw|inkipedia|signal}}s usable by Inklings to call out to teammates, and a popular phrase within the ''Splatoon'' fanbase.

==={{SSBU|Isabelle}}===
:'''Pit:''' That poor dog looks lost! I'll check its collar.

:'''Palutena:''' That's Isabelle! She has bells on her head. That's why she Isabelle! Her day job is assistant to [[Villager|the mayor]] of some town. I hear she's the town's hardest worker. She's also cute, courageous, and modest, which is why everyone loves her!

:'''Viridi:''' Hmph. She's overrated if you ask me.

:'''Pit:''' No. One. Did. If Isabelle has so much going for her, why is she fighting in Smash?

:'''Palutena:''' Yeah, it seems like a weird choice. Maybe she just wants to get some exercise.

:'''Pit:''' There's gotta be less violent ways to get your blood pumping.

:'''Palutena:''' She's from the same town as Villager, so their moves are somewhat alike. She's just full of surprises, though. Be extra careful of her [[Fishing Rod]]. She'll reel you in like a fish.

Note: When Palutena introduces Isabelle, she says  "'''she Isabelle'''" rather than "'''she's Isabelle'''", making a pun on her name ('she is a Bell'). In Japanese, the joke is instead related to the fact that she is a {{iw|wikipedia|Shih Tzu}}; "{{ja|シーズー犬だから、しずえ。|Shīzū ken dakara, Shizue.}}"

==={{SSBU|Ken}}===
:'''Pit:''' Whoa! It's Ken!

:'''Palutena:''' He's the son of the Masters family and a U.S. martial arts tournament champion.

:'''Pit:''' I heard he's filthy rich!

:'''Palutena:''' Really, Pit?

:'''Viridi:''' Sounds like someone needs to up their angel's allowance.

:'''Palutena:''' Back to Ken—he's energetic, cheerful, and boisterous. Pretty much the opposite of Ryu, who has a much more serious personality.

:'''Pit:''' Uh... Why are their attacks so similar then?

:'''Palutena:''' Ken and Ryu are friends that trained together in the same fighting style. It's a martial art close to Karate that originates from Ansatsuken. They're known to use Hado as well.

:'''Pit:''' You know, Ken doesn't seem like such a bad guy.

:'''Palutena:''' Let's just hope he doesn't give in to the Dark Hado. OK, gossip time! Did you know Ken's wife Eliza is also Julia's sister, and Julia is married to [[Guile]]?

:'''Pit:''' What?! So Ken is Guile's brother-in-law?!

Note: Contrary to Palutena's statement, Ken has never possessed the Satsui no Hado. She may be referring to his brainwashed transformation known as Violent Ken, which actually uses M. Bison's Psycho Power instead of the Satsui no Hado. However, she may also simply be referring to the energy Ryu and Ken use for their [[Hadoken]] and by Ken to imbue his [[Shoryuken]] and [[Shinryuken]] with flames. This may be a case of direct usage of the Japanese word ''hadō'' (波動), which is also used to describe [[Lucario]]'s [[Aura]] ability and attacks. Ryu and Ken's special moves lack the Aura property, however.

==={{SSBU|King K. Rool}}===
:'''Pit:''' Who's this guy? Talk about your super heavyweight!

:'''Palutena:''' That's the leader of the {{iw|mariowiki|Kremlings}}, King K. Rool.

:'''Pit:''' Kremlings?

:'''Palutena:''' A race of crocodile people.

:'''Viridi:''' I hear they like bananas. Blech...

:'''Pit:''' But I thought Donkey Kong was the one who liked bananas.

:'''Viridi:''' I'm pretty sure all mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers like bananas. They're like the litmus test for idiocy.

:'''Pit:''' I don't know what that means, but I LOVE BANANAS!

:'''Viridi:''' The prosecution rests!

:'''Palutena:''' Back to the fight at hand, some attacks will fail to penetrate King K. Rool's large, leathery belly. You might want to consider incorporating more grabs into your battle strategy.

Note: According to Leigh Loveday (writer of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series) on Rareware.com's former "scribes" column, K. Rool's motivation for stealing the banana hoard is either that he wants Donkey Kong to starve to death so that he can occupy his "cosy treehouse pad," or perhaps that he simply likes bananas.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20020805184158/rareware.com/the_site/talk_to_us/scribes/aug25_99/aug25_99.html</ref> The latter explanation is supported in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' manual, which states the Kremlings coveted the Bananas for their nutritional value, and contradicted in ''{{iw|mariowiki|DK: Jungle Climber}}'' where K. Rool states that he despises bananas.

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Pit thinks that the tropics sound nice because there are a lot of foods (in the place of his replies that he likes bananas), which leads Viridi to comment on his simple-mindedness.

==={{SSBU|Link}}===
:'''Pit:''' I can't put my finger on it, but Link seems...different somehow.

:'''Palutena:''' Well, this Link is technically a different person from the Link you fought before. This incarnation is known as the Hero of the Wild. He was once Hyrule's Champion, but he fell into a 100-year slumber after using all his strength to fight the Calamity.

:'''Pit:''' 100 years might not be a long time to a goddess like you, Lady Palutena, but that's more than enough time for an entire world to change!

:'''Palutena:''' You're right, Pit. When Link woke from the slumber of restoration, not only was his world unrecognizable, he also lost his memory!

:'''Pit:''' I can't even imagine what that would be like. Lady Palutena, isn't there something the gods can do to help him restore his memory?

:'''Palutena:''' Meddling in the affairs of another world is never a good idea. Although I do like Link, and his swordsmanship is quite impressive. The Master Sword, also known as the sword that seals the darkness, reveals its true strength in the presence of the Calamity.

:'''Pit:''' Cool! Does that mean it's OP against Ganondorf?

:'''Palutena:''' No, Ganondorf is from a different game. You should really do more research before you jump into a fight. If you expect to win, you need to know your opponent's backstory and abilities. Link has a lot of different weapons at his disposal.

Note: "OP" is a common slang word in gaming that means "overpowered". In this case, the Master Sword powers up in the presence of Calamity Ganon in ''Breath of the Wild''. However, Palutena notes that ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Ganondorf is from a different game (''Ocarina of Time''), and thus this mechanic would not work. Regardless, Ganondorf's weakness to the Master Sword is a common story mechanic, and traditionally deals the final blow to Ganondorf throughout the ''Legend of Zelda'' series.

==={{SSBU|Lucas}}===
:'''Pit:''' Who's the little guy?

:'''Palutena:''' That's Lucas. He's from {{iw|wikibound|Tazmily Village}}. Just like [[Ness]], he uses PSI. He might be the most introverted opponent you've ever fought.

:'''Pit:''' If he's so shy, why is he fighting?

:'''Palutena:''' He's been through a lot. Things you couldn't imagine. Maybe fighting is how he copes with his feelings.

:'''Pit:''' Aw, man. Now I feel bad for him.

:'''Palutena:''' Me too. Maybe you shouldn't fight him.

:'''Viridi:''' SHOW NO MERCY! [[Star KO|Launch this crybaby to the stars]]!

:'''Palutena:''' Or that... Just remember — Lucas's attacks are a bit different from Ness's. Don't expect to be able to fight both of them the exact same way.

==={{SSBU|Mewtwo}}===
:'''Pit:''' That's Mewtwo, right?

:'''Palutena:''' National Pokédex number 150. Mewtwo is a legendary Pokémon that was created by resequencing [[Mew]]'s genes.

:'''Viridi:''' I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THESE HUMANS!

:'''Pit:''' Poor thing. It's a walking science experiment.

:'''Palutena:''' Mewtwo is arguably the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Some people spend their entire lives trying to catch it.

:'''Viridi:''' It's an affront to nature and must be destroyed immediately! Think about it! Every action has a butterfly effect. Who knows what kind of impact it could have on the ecosystem!

:'''Pit:''' Grow a heart, Viridi! It didn't choose to be a freak of nature.

:'''Palutena:''' Feel sorry for it all you want, Pit, but don't underestimate it. Mewtwo's [[Confusion]] move can both flip opponents and reflect projectiles.

==={{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}===
:'''Pit:''' That gear looks like it belongs to Mega Man.

:'''Palutena:''' Or maybe Samus.

:'''Viridi:''' Wrong and wrong. That's a Mii Gunner.

:'''Pit:''' Huh.

:'''Viridi:''' How do Mii Gunners choose which type of ammo to shoot?

:'''Palutena:''' There's a motion-controlled trigger in the arm cannon.

:'''Pit:''' So the stance they take when firing tells me where they're aiming.

:'''Viridi:''' Motion control... That's downright REVOLUTIONARY! We should patent that.

:'''Palutena:''' Hmph. Sounds like the goddess of nature has turned into the goddess of commerce.

Note: Though the dialogue was originally unchanged, due to the Mii Gunner's redesigned outfit, the two references to backpacks were later removed in [[List of updates (SSBU)#1.2.0|update 1.2.0]].

==={{SSBU|Pichu}}===
:'''Pit:''' Awwwww! It's a baby [[Pikachu]]!

:'''Palutena:''' That's Pichu. It's the form before it evolves into Pikachu. Pichu is still learning to harness its electrical power, so it takes damage whenever it uses electricity.

:'''Viridi:''' Just looking at Pichu makes me want to cheer it on. You can do it, Pichu! Kick his butt!

:'''Palutena:''' Pichu might be cute, but don't underestimate it. Its small stature allows it to move very quickly. Look out for grabs after it dashes.

:'''Pit:''' Why is it that smaller fighters are always fast?

:'''Viridi:''' You'll understand when you grow up, Pit. One day, you'll wake up unable to do things you could in the past.

:'''Pit:''' That's...depressing. Ohhhhhhhh. Is that what it's like for you, Lady Palutena?

:'''Palutena:''' Don't make me smite you.

==={{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}===
:'''Pit:''' Is that a...Piranha Plant?!

:'''Palutena:''' Not so loud. She'll hear you!

:'''Viridi:''' Did someone say Piranha Plant?

:'''Pit:''' Oh no.

:'''Viridi:''' I wrote my thesis on Piranha Plants! There are just so many species! You got your basic Piranha Plants, your {{iw|mariowiki|Fire Piranha Plant}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Ptooie}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Nipper Plant}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Nipper Spore}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Muncher}}s, [[mariowiki:Jumping Piranha Plant|Jumping Piranhas]], {{iw|mariowiki|Wild Ptooie Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Propeller Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Naval Piranha}}s, [[mariowiki:Chewy|Chewies]], {{iw|mariowiki|Megasmilax}}, {{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Pest}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Sprout}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Frost Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Putrid Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Proto Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Piranhabon}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Bean}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Mom Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Small Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Elasto-Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Planet}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Bungee Piranha}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Big Bungee Piranha}}s, [[mariowiki:Polterpiranha|Ghost]]s, {{iw|mariowiki|Nipper Dandelion}}s, [[mariowiki:Spiny Piranha Plant|Spiny Piranha]]s, {{iw|mariowiki|Dino Piranha}}s, [[mariowiki:Fire Stalking Piranha Plant|Fire Stalking Piranha]]s, {{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Plorp}}s, [[mariowiki:River Piranha Plant|River Piranha]]s, [[mariowiki:Big Piranha Plant|Big Piranha]]s, [[mariowiki:Stalking Piranha Plant|Stalking Piranhas]], {{iw|mariowiki|Big Fire Piranha}}s, [[mariowiki:Prickly Piranha Plant|Prickly Piranhas]], {{iw|mariowiki|Peewee Piranha}}s, [[mariowiki:Inky Piranha Plant|Inky Piranha]]s, [[mariowiki:Gold Piranha Plant|Gold Piranha]]s, [[mariowiki:Bone Piranha Plant|Bone Piranhas]], [[mariowiki:Big Bone Piranha Plant|Big Bone Piranhas]], {{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Pod}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Creeper}}s, {{iw|mariowiki|Nipper Spore Patch}}es, [[mariowiki:Paper Fire Piranha Plant|Paper Fire Piranha]]s, [[mariowiki:Poison Piranha Plant|Poison Piranha]]s, [[mariowiki:Big Poison Piranha Plant|Big Poison Piranha]]s, [[mariowiki:Piranha Plant#Super Mario Land|Upside-Down Piranha]]s, [[Petey Piranha]], {{iw|mariowiki|Paper Petey Piranha}}, {{iw|mariowiki|Petea Piranha}}-

:'''Pit:''' Whoa!

:'''Viridi:''' I haven't even started on all the minor variations!

:'''Palutena:''' Enough, Viridi! I never want to hear the word "piranha" ever again.

:'''Pit:''' I guess that means I'm not getting any fighting tips. Thanks, Viridi.

Note: When Viridi starts naming off the different species of Piranha Plants, her dialogue humorously speeds up. Her list is the single longest line of dialogue in any Palutena's Guidance conversation.

Regional differences: The entire conversation is heavily altered in the Japanese version. Palutena expresses surprise that Piranha Plant is a fighter (instead of warning Pit about Viridi); Viridi mentions [[mariowiki:Piranha Plant (Pit of 100 Trials)|a powerful Piranha Plant variant]] from ''{{iw|mariowiki|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}'' (Killer Pakkun) and {{iw|mariowiki|Fire Nipper Plant}} in her list, while the generic Piranha Plant is moved to middle of the list rather than the beginning; lastly, Palutena asks Pit, "how many times was Pakkun (Piranha) said during this conversation?", to Pit's disbelief (rather than both of them getting annoyed at Viridi).

==={{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}===
Note: Whether this conversation or a conversation that applies to the Pokémon themselves comes up when the taunt is triggered is chosen depending on the Pokémon that is present: if the current Pokémon is the one that was first sent out at the start of the match (which can be chosen when picking Pokémon Trainer), the conversation will revolve around the Pokémon Trainer. If the current Pokémon ''isn't'' the first one (for example, Ivysaur or Charizard if Squirtle was chosen first via switching Pokémon or if the current Pokémon is KO'd), then the conversation will revolve around that Pokémon. (This is not the case in [[Training Mode]], where whether the conversation is about the Trainer or the Pokémon appears to be chosen randomly.)

:'''Pit:''' That little twerp is bossing those Pokémon around!

:'''Palutena:''' That's the Pokémon Trainer. Looks like you'll be fighting Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard today.

:'''Viridi:''' All the original starters? This fighter is a fan of the classics!

:'''Pit:''' Do you think Pokémon get claustrophobic being trapped in those little balls?

:'''Palutena:''' I hear [[Poké Ball]]s are much bigger on the inside.

:'''Viridi:''' But what about the weak Pokémon who get left in their balls and forgotten? I mean, everyone has, like, hundreds of them in their [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Storage System|Box]].

:'''Pit:''' Huh... I never thought about— PikaPit! NOOOOOOOO!

:'''Palutena:''' Now, Pit, I'm sure those abandoned Pokémon are all playing together at a farm upstate.

:'''Viridi:''' Anyway, commanding three Pokémon is really tricky. Pay attention to the trainer's patterns and tendencies, and find a way to exploit them.

Note: Pit calling the Pokémon Trainer a "{{iw|bulbapedia|twerp}}" is most likely a reference to how [[bulbapedia:Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] refers to [[bulbapedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and his friends in the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon_anime|''Pokémon'' anime]]. Palutena's somewhat morbid reference to the Pokémon playing together at a "{{iw|wiktionary|farm upstate}}" is a common phrase used to delicately tell children that their animal has passed away or had to be put down. On a lighter note, the "farm" Palutena mentions could be instead referring to ''{{iw|bulbapedia|My Pokémon Ranch}}'', or even the {{iw|bulbapedia|Poké Pelago}}, although the pelago is not really a "farm". "PikaPit" is a reference to the ability to name captured Pokémon.

===={{SSBU|Squirtle}}====
:'''Pit:''' Is that a Squirtle?

:'''Palutena:''' The Tiny Turtle Pokémon.

:'''Viridi:''' Mmm... I have a sudden craving for tiny turtle stew.

:'''Pit:''' What is wrong with you?

:'''Palutena:''' Squirtle is one of the first Pokémon you can get! And this time around, Squirtle has more water moves in its arsenal.

:'''Pit:''' Getting a little wet doesn't bother me!

:'''Palutena:''' Don't underestimate water, Pit. With enough force and precision, it becomes a blade that can cut through anything.

:'''Pit:''' You're right. All these fighters are here for a reason. I can't let my guard down against anyone!

:'''Palutena:''' When Squirtle charges at you with its shell, guard, and then counterattack when it's up in the air.

===={{SSBU|Ivysaur}}====
:'''Pit:''' That's {{iw|bulbapedia|Bulbasaur|Pokémon}}! ...Or is it [[Venusaur]]?

:'''Viridi:''' It's Ivysaur. The Pokémon's form before it evolves into Venusaur.

:'''Pit:''' I know I'm supposed to fight it, but I gotta say, it's pretty stinkin' cute.

:'''Viridi:''' Cute and deadly! Ivysaur's [[Vine Whip]] is as versatile as it is dangerous. It can be used like a whip as the name implies, but it can also grab opponents. It can even be used to grab onto ledges in a pinch!

:'''Pit:''' I see. Hey, I'm really grateful for all the info, Viridi, but where's Lady Palutena?

:'''Viridi:''' Who cares? Palutena doesn't know squat about plants! This is where I shine! Where was I? Oh, the Vine Whip has a deceptively long reach. And don't forget about [[Bullet Seed]] as well!

==={{SSBU|Richter}}===
:'''Pit:''' Um... Who's this guy with the chain whip?

:'''Palutena:''' That would be Richter Belmont.

:'''[[Alucard]]:''' Pardon the interruption.

:'''Pit:''' GAH! Don't sneak up on us like that!

:'''Palutena:''' Ahh, Alucard. Hello! Pit, meet Alucard. He's the son of Count [[Dracula]].

:'''Pit:''' Dracula's your dad?! That's so cool! Hey, do you have fangs? Are they sharp?

:'''Viridi:''' Pit! That's pretty personal. And do you really want to bring up blood-sucking fangs?

:'''Pit:''' What are you... Oh no! You're not here to suck my blood, are you? I need it!

:'''Alucard:''' No, I don't like the taste. And my mother taught me not to cause suffering. My father chose another path, and so I've sworn to stop him. Richter here is the descendant of a man who shared my burden. He has a strong sense of justice and is an honest man. But that in turn makes him easy to manipulate. He was once cursed by the dark priest Shaft who used him as a puppet to control Dracula's Castle.

:'''Pit:''' So you're saying he's kind of...uh...simple?

:'''Viridi:''' Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house, Pit. I very much doubt that YOU could effectively run a castle.

:'''Alucard:''' In any case, Richter is a formidable opponent. Underestimating him would be your undoing.

:'''Palutena:''' Alucard, do you also intend to participate?

:'''Alucard:''' I am merely here to [[Assist Trophy|assist]] Richter...and anyone else who calls upon me.

Regional difference: In the Japanese version, Pit refers to Alucard as "one of the big guys of the industry" in place of mentioning Alucard's fangs, with Viridi asking about what "industry" Pit is referring to. Pit also asks Alucard if he is "hostile towards [Dracula]" (instead of bloodsucking).

==={{SSBU|Ridley}}===
:'''Pit:''' RIDLEY CONFIRMED!

:'''Palutena:''' Uh, yes, that's Ridley. Samus's archnemesis.

:'''Pit:''' I never thought I'd have to fight an alien space dragon in Smash...

:'''Viridi:''' Kirby's a space alien too, ya know! Jury's still out on him being a dragon, though.

:'''Palutena:''' Ridley may look like a mindless killing machine, but he's exceedingly intelligent. He's also the leader of the ruthless Space Pirates.

:'''Pit:''' So what's the story behind him and Samus?

:'''Palutena:''' Ridley killed Samus's parents when she was young.

:'''Pit:''' That's messed up!

:'''Palutena:''' Samus and Ridley first fought in the depths of [[Norfair]] on [[Planet Zebes]]. They crossed paths again when Ridley stole the Baby Metroid. [[Meta Ridley]] was made through genetic engineering and cybernetic enhancements. Omega Ridley is the one infused with Phazon... Neo-Ridley was born when an X parasite absorbed Ridley's genes. And yet another Ridley was created by cloning cells found on Samus's suit!

:'''Pit:''' You sure know a lot about Ridley. And none of it is about how to fight him!

:'''Viridi:''' There's also a robot version of Ridley. He built it himself which officially makes him a narcissist.

:'''Pit:''' Is that canon?

:'''Palutena:''' Canon or not, all of these Ridleys shared the same fate — they were all defeated by Samus.

:'''Pit:''' Not surprising. Samus is a beast!

:'''Palutena:''' So is Ridley. Mind the sharp barb on his tail.

Note: Pit's declaration of "Ridley confirmed!" may be a nod to Ridley's consistent popularity as a potential fighter since the first ''Smash Bros.'' Pit saying "Is that canon?" may be referring to the fact that Viridi's information (Ridley building Mecha Ridley) has been previously mentioned only in obscure online supplemental materials for ''Metroid: Zero Mission'';<ref>http://metroid.jp/metroid_version2/development/faq2.html#stage02</ref> alternatively, he may be questioning Viridi's claim that Ridley is "officially [...] a narcissist". Finally, Proteus Ridley, a version of Ridley where he was regenerating his organics during his Meta Ridley form, is the only incarnation of Ridley not mentioned in the conversation.

Regional differences: In the Japanese version, Pit does not recognize Ridley, instead saying "There's an alien here that looks like a demon!" at the beginning.

==={{SSBU|Robin}}===
:'''Pit:''' This guy (♂) / girl (♀) with the heavy-lookin' coat is...

:'''Palutena:''' Robin.

:'''Pit:''' Oh, that's right. [[Chrom]]'s friend!

:'''Viridi:''' Really? Just Chrom's friend?

:'''Pit:''' And his...tactical...person?

:'''Viridi:''' Seriously? Tactician.

:'''Palutena:''' Robin is a master tactician who can use both tomes and Levin Swords. But Robin's attacks have limits on how many times they can be used. When Robin discards the sword or a book, it's time to be aggressive.

:'''Pit:''' Uh... You don't think a "master tactician" will see that coming?

:'''Palutena:''' Probably, but losing the Levin Sword puts Robin at a major disadvantage, so do your best to capitalize.

Regional difference: In the Japanese version, Pit mentions how Robin is possessed by {{iw|fireemblem|Grima}} during the events of ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' in place of "And his...tactical...person?"

==={{SSBU|Roy}}===
:'''Pit:''' Look! Marth dyed his hair red!

:'''Palutena:''' Actually, that's the Young Lion, Roy.

:'''Pit:''' The Young Lion?

:'''Viridi:''' He's 15 years old.

:'''Pit:''' 15 years old?! Is that even legal?!

:'''Viridi:''' It is in Ostia, where Roy spends his days as a noble, being smart, brave, and dependable. I bet he smells like heaven!

:'''Pit:''' How am I supposed to compete with a guy like that?

:'''Palutena:''' By not getting too close, for one thing. His Binding Blade is extremely powerful at close range.

:'''Pit:''' Or maybe instead of fighting, he'd be willing to talk out our differences?

:'''Palutena:''' Don't be a baby, Pit. Just keep Roy at a distance and you'll be fine. He's only dangerous if he gets close. But once he gets close, prepare to get mauled.

Note: Pit's initial comment of Roy being {{SSBU|Marth}} with dyed hair is a nod to Roy initially starting as a [[clone]] of Marth in ''Melee''.

==={{SSBU|Ryu}}===
:'''Pit:''' It's {{rollover|Ryu|Ree-you|y}}! Or is it {{rollover|Ryu|Rye-you|y}}?

:'''Palutena:''' Ryu may be the world's most well-known fighter! He's faced off against all kinds of competitors over the years.

:'''Viridi:''' Cyborgs, androids, mutants, giant monsters, super heroes, aliens, and demons to name a few.

:'''Pit:''' Well then. Let's add handsome angels to that list, eh?

:'''Palutena:''' Ryu has two Final Smashes. [[Shinku Hadoken]] and [[Shin Shoryuken]]. Shin Shoryuken is a delight to behold. Try to get hit by it!

:'''Pit:''' Not fair! Lady Palutena, will you give ME a move that people want to be hit with?!

:'''Palutena:''' OK, Pit, but only if you stop making dumb jokes. Can I ask that of you?

:'''Pit:''' SURE YOU CAN!

:'''Viridi:''' You walked right into that one.

Notes:
*Pit's confusion regarding how to say Ryu's name refers to a similar inconsistency with its official pronunciation in older ''Street Fighter'' media; the announcer and Palutena both use the first pronunciation.
*Pit saying "SURE YOU CAN!" is wordplay on Ryu's up special move, [[Shoryuken]].
*Viridi's mention of the opponents Ryu has faced are in reference to the ''"Versus"'' series of crossover fighting games by [[Capcom]], notable for including characters from many of Capcom's games alongside characters from the {{iw|wikipedia|Marvel Comics}} universe. These games features such opponents as Cyber-Akuma (''{{iw|wikipedia|Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter}}''),  [[Mega Man]] (''{{iw|wikipedia|Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes}}''), [[List of SSB4 trophies (Mega Man series)#Roll|Roll]], [[MegaMan Volnutt]] (''{{iw|wikipedia|Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars}}''), [[Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] (''{{iw|wikipedia|Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds}}''), the {{iw|wikipedia|X-Men}} (''{{iw|wikipedia|X-Men vs. Street Fighter}}''), {{iw|wikipedia|Onslaught|comics}}, Abyss (''{{iw|wikipedia|Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes}}''), {{iw|wikipedia|Galactus}}, the {{iw|wikipedia|Avengers|comics}}, the {{iw|wikipedia|Science Ninja Team}}, {{iw|wikipedia|Super Skrull}}, {{iw|wikipedia|Shuma-Gorath}}, {{iw|wikipedia|Blackheart}}, and characters from Capcom's ''{{iw|wikipedia|Ghosts 'n Goblins}}'' and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Darkstalkers}}'' series, although in the ''Street Fighter'' series there have also been androids (such as Twelve and Seth), mutants (such as Blanka and Necro), superheroes (namely, Skullomania), and possibly cyborgs (Abel and Q). Ryu has also faced androids and cyborgs in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Street Fighter X Tekken}}'' (Alisa Bosconovitch and Jack-X, plus Bryan Fury and Yoshimitsu, respectively) and aliens in ''{{iw|wikipedia|SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos}}'' (Mars People from [[SNK]]'s ''[[List of minor third-party universes#Metal Slug|Metal Slug]]'' series).

==={{SSBU|Sheik}}===
:'''Pit:''' It's Sheik!

:'''Palutena:''' Sheik appears to be wearing a [[zeldawiki:Stealth Mask|traditional]] [[zeldawiki:Stealth Chest Guard|Sheikah]] [[zeldawiki:Stealth Tights|outfit]] this time around.

:'''Viridi:''' Ooh! So exotic! That armor is right up my alley. I wonder if it comes in a children's small...

:'''Pit:''' I always get nervous when Sheik gets close. If I make one wrong move, I'll get pummeled with a flurry of quick attacks!

:'''Palutena:''' His attacks may be fast, but they aren't very strong. That's why he'll try to end the fight quickly. He's also very light, so focus on launching Sheik at lower damage percentages.

:'''Viridi:''' And he doesn't have much reach, so keep your distance until you're ready to rush him with your [[Upperdash Arm]].

:'''Pit:''' Good advice! But... you guys do know Sheik is just Zelda, right? In disguise? Wait, is there a new timeline?!

Note: Palutena and Viridi refer to Sheik using male pronouns, much to the confusion of Pit (who knows Sheik's true identity). Conversely, ''Ultimate'' refers to Sheik using female pronouns in her moveset and [[tips]]. Pit's last line refers to [[zeldawiki:Zelda Timeline|the branching timelines of the ''Zelda'' series]], also mentioned in Young Link's conversation, which often diverge in continuity.

Regional differences: Due to the differing nature of pronouns in Japanese, Sheik's gender is never brought into the conversation at all in the Japanese version, with Pit's last remark simply being a comment on Viridi's advice.

==={{SSBU|Simon}}===
:'''Pit:''' Whoa! It's Simon Belmont!

:'''Palutena:''' Oh, do you know him?

:'''Pit:''' Yeah, we hit the scene around the same time.

:'''Palutena:''' The legacy of the vampire-hunting Belmont clan is very interesting.

:'''Pit:''' How long have they been hunting vampires?

:'''Palutena:''' Leon Belmont's first vampire encounter was in 1094 AD. The last known heir, Julius Belmont, defeated Dracula in 1999.

:'''Pit:''' So... Carry the one... A thousand years?!

:'''Palutena:''' Other clans appeared and parallel worlds were created. The fate of the Belmont clan has been split in many ways. The most iconic symbol of House Belmont is their legendary whip, the Vampire Killer.

:'''Viridi:''' A fighter that uses a whip? You don't see that every day.

:'''Palutena:''' It's a magical whip that only the Belmont bloodline can wield. An irreplaceable weapon passed down for generations.

:'''Viridi:''' I wonder how many monsters and demons it's vanquished? It must smell TERRIBLE!

:'''Palutena:''' Getting back to the point, be careful of Simon's long-range attacks. The weapons he uses may seem simple, but they don't pull any punches.

Note: Pit recognizing Simon Belmont is a possible reference to how both of them were main characters in the promotional cartoon series ''{{iw|mariowiki|Captain N: The Game Master}}'' and his explanation of "hitting the scene around the same time" refers to how both series debuted in 1986. Additionally, Pit's math is wrong — 1094 to 1999 AD is only 905 years, not a thousand (though Pit making such a mistake is still within character).

==={{SSBU|Snake}}===
:'''Pit:''' Snake?!

:'''Palutena:''' The Legendary Mercenary himself.

:'''Pit:'''  I never thought I'd get a chance to fight him again!

:'''Palutena:''' Snake is fully loaded with explosives and firearms. Don't get blown up.

:'''Pit:''' I bet if I put some bombs on the end of my arrows, they'd be more powerful.

:'''Viridi:''' Very original, Pit.

:'''Palutena:''' You can't attach bombs to Arrows of Light since they aren't actual arrows.

:'''Pit:''' OK, then let's bust out the {{iw|icaruspedia|cannon}}s!

:'''Viridi:''' Leave the bombs and guns to Snake. You focus on what you do best. Whatever that is.

Note: Pit saying they should "bust out the cannons" is likely a reference to the {{iw|icaruspedia|Cannon}} weapon class from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. He also comments on how he "never thought [he'd] get a chance to fight [Snake] again", referencing how both Pit and Snake debuted in ''Brawl'', but Snake was cut from ''Smash 4''. Also, Pit's contemplation about adding bombs to his arrows references the {{iw|zeldawiki|Bomb Arrow}}s featured in several ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, hence Viridi's sarcastic reply.

==={{SSBU|Wario}}===
:'''Pit:''' Um, Wario kind of smells.

:'''Palutena:''' That's to be expected. For his Final Smash, he munches garlic and transforms into his super-antihero alter ego...Wario-Man!

:'''Pit:''' Uh... Wario-Man?

:'''Palutena:''' Yes. Legend has it that Wario once caught a cold, accidentally ate a piece of Nasty Garlic, and turned into Wario-Man.

:'''Pit:''' Huh. So Nasty Garlic is the key to Wario's power. Great.

:'''Viridi:''' He's a real charmer, that one.

:'''Palutena:''' Speaking of which... Eating seems to make Wario very gassy.

:'''Pit:''' Ugh! TMI!

:'''Palutena:''' I'm only telling you this for your own good. He's a ticking time bomb. Watch out for his sudden farts. And all farts in general. They're gross AND dangerous.

:'''Pit:''' ...This job is really the worst sometimes.

Note: The conversation is largely unchanged from ''for Wii U'', but the first "Nasty Garlic" has been changed to simply "garlic" to correct a minor mistake; in his Final Smash, Wario eats a regular piece of garlic, not Nasty Garlic. This correction is for consistency with the Japanese version of the conversation, which identifies the Nasty Garlic as a {{iw|wikipedia|mandrake}}, as well as the Final Smash's [[List of SSBB trophies (WarioWare series)#Wario-Man|trophy descriptions in ''Brawl'']] and [[List of SSB4 trophies (WarioWare series)#Wario-Man|''for Wii U'']].

==={{SSBU|Wolf}}===
:'''Pit:''' Now this guy seems bad to the core!

:'''Palutena:''' That's Wolf. He's Fox's archnemesis and the leader of Star Wolf. Star Wolf is a group of mercenaries hired by Andross.

:'''Pit:''' Mercenaries will do anything for money...

:'''Palutena:''' Generally speaking. Although, Star Fox is also technically a mercenary group, but they would never aid someone as evil as Andross.

:'''Viridi:''' Wolf may be Fox's nemesis, but there's also a mutual respect between them. They even fought on the same side at one point.

:'''Palutena:''' Kind of like Pit and Dark Pit.

:'''Dark Pit:''' What?! We're nothing like that! I DON'T respect him and we're sure not all buddy-buddy!

:'''Palutena:''' See, you guys are just like them.

:'''Viridi:'''  You even have the same "glorified palette swap" thing, uh, going on...

:'''Palutena:''' In any case, Wolf's Blaster shoots long-range projectiles, but it can also be a nuisance at close range.

Note: Viridi's comment about "glorified palette swaps" is likely a reference to how Wolf and Dark Pit are based on Fox and Pit respectively. However, while Dark Pit is a full clone and an Echo Fighter, Wolf is a pseudo-clone whose moveset barely resembles Fox's.

==={{SSBU|Young Link}}===
:'''Pit:''' Is it just me, or has Link lost weight?

:'''Palutena:''' Yes and no. That's Young Link. He's the child version of the Hero of Time.

:'''Pit:''' The Hero of Time?

:'''Palutena:''' The Link who mastered the Ocarina of Time and faced Ganondorf. Link's actions as the Hero of Time created parallel worlds, and from there, many different legends were born.

:'''Pit:''' I don't follow. What do you mean?

:'''Viridi:''' If you were defeated by Medusa, Palutena wouldn't be here today, right?

:'''Pit:''' True, but what does that have to do with anything?

:'''Viridi:''' We may have triumphed over Medusa in this timeline, but in a different timeline, you lost that fight, leaving Medusa and Hades to rule the world. Every action and inaction creates infinite parallel worlds! You're only in one of them.

:'''Pit:''' Wait... I'm not the only me? And nothing I do matters because another me will do the opposite? THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF DOING ANYTHING!

:'''Palutena:''' Breathe, Pit! Focus on Young Link's short reach. He may be fast, but try to outrange him and anticipate his movements.

Note: Palutena's mention of parallel worlds caused by the Hero of Time refers to how ''Ocarina of Time'' splits into three branches in the {{iw|zeldawiki|Zelda Timeline}} based on if Ganondorf's goal in the Era of Time were to succeed, was prevented, or if he got sealed away.

==={{SSBU|Zelda}}===
:'''Pit:''' Is that...Princess Zelda?

:'''Palutena:''' Yes, that's Zelda from A Link to the Past. She's a descendant of the Seven Sages. When she was captured, she used telepathy to ask Link for help.

:'''Viridi:''' Pit... Pit... Go get me a cinnamon roll...

:'''Pit:''' Right away, Zel— HEY! Knock it off, Viridi!

:'''Palutena:''' Focus, Pit! Zelda has a projectile attack called [[Din's Fire]]. It can be steered through the air, kind of like your arrows. The trajectory of Din's Fire is really hard to see, so it's important to pay extra close attention when fighting her.

:'''Viridi:''' Pit... Pit... Get me a glazed donut with rainbow sprinkles...

:'''Pit:''' Yes, right away! A glazed donut with rainbo— STOP IT!

Note: The way Viridi calls out Pit's name is similar to how Zelda calls Link's name when talking to him telepathically in ''A Link to the Past'' and ''Breath of the Wild''.

Regional differences: Viridi's lines are slightly different in the Japanese version, saying "Link... Link... Go buy me a {{iw|wikipedia|melonpan}}," and "Link... Link... Make me [[wikipedia:Tamago kake gohan|rice with eggs]]," respectively. Pit's response is simple annoyance rather than mistaking her for Zelda.

==Downloadable fighters==
Characters available as [[downloadable content]] use a generic Guidance conversation, presumably to avoid having to repeatedly bring in the characters' voice actors for new lines each time a new character is added. The generic conversation was discovered at {{forwiiu}}'s launch in [http://vocaroo.com/i/s0KivwmAoIq3 the game's] [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25168286 sound files]. The conversation consists of Pit, Palutena, and Viridi briefly discussing an unknown fighter. Unused and inaccessible through normal play at first, it was confirmed to be a placeholder conversation for additional fighters on April 15th, 2015, with the release of the first DLC character, [[Mewtwo]]. Despite [[Bayonetta]]'s reveal trailer involving new voice work of the characters, they did not voice a guidance conversation for her nor any of the previous DLC fighters (which, as DLC was now complete, would have filled in the roster and obviated the generic placeholder).

The same dialogue was also found in ''Ultimate'', and was unused until the release of {{SSBU|Joker}}. While the previously downloadable veterans now have unique conversations, downloadable characters for this game received the same treatment as in the previous game. However, {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} has a unique conversation, presumably due to being developed at the same time as the main game.

:'''Pit:''' Who is THAT?

:'''Palutena:''' I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!

:'''Viridi:''' It must be an intruder from another dimension!

:'''Pit:''' Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!

==Trivia==
* If the player activates the Smash Taunt in [[Training Mode]] and then pauses Training Mode before Pit is finished with the animation, the conversation will play as normal, but the portraits and subtitles will become desynced, with the portraits appearing out of place and the subtitles constantly disappearing. When the actual conversation ends, the portraits will stay on the screen until Pit is KO'd, a [[Smash Ball]], [[Dragoon]], or [[Daybreak]] is spawned, or Training Mode is reset.
*The only conversations where Palutena is absent are the ones regarding Luigi, Ivysaur, and the Mii Swordfighter. Conversely, Viridi is absent from the conversations regarding Mario, Link (in ''Ultimate''), Ness, Pichu, Pit, King Dedede, Zero Suit Samus, the male Wii Fit Trainer, Pac-Man, Shulk, and Duck Hunt.
*The only conversations that Dark Pit appears in, besides his own, are the ones regarding Ice Climbers and Wolf. Coincidentally, both of these conversations involved two characters cut in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4'' before returning in ''Ultimate'' and involve discussion of teamwork.
*The ''Zelda'' and ''Fire Emblem'' series are the only ones to have received new conversations between versions.
**Toon Link is the only ''Zelda'' character that did not receive a new conversation in ''Ultimate''.
*[[Chrom]] and [[Alucard]] are the only non-''Kid Icarus'' guest characters to appear as part of the conversations. In addition, they use the character designs from their origin games (''Fire Emblem: Awakening'' and ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'', respectively), whose art styles noticeably differ from that of the ''Kid Icarus'' characters.
*Mii Gunner's conversation originally still mentioned the ammo backpack in ''Ultimate'' in spite of that part of the default design being removed. This was eventually patched out.
*{{SSBU|Cloud}} is the only character whose conversation changes a line depending on the type of battle that is taking place.
*Piranha Plant is the only character to receive a non-generic conversation in a game where it was available as DLC.
*It is possible to trigger a second Palutena's Guidance in one match if the game goes to [[Sudden Death]], though this likely will not last for long due to the various hazards.
*In ''Ultimate'', when the language is set to Korean, Richter's conversation will have Alucard use his English voice clips, while Pit, Palutena and Viridi continue to use their Japanese voice clips.<ref>https://youtu.be/WBdHaB2APis?t=1570</ref>
*Pit's "(L) stands for 'winner'" line during Luigi's conversation would go on to be referenced in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}'', where the in-game description for Luigi's cap reads, "The "L" stands for "winner"".
**In the Spanish version of Luigi's conversation, Pit says: "Estoy seguro de que quiere decir "Legendario"." (Which means: "I'm sure it stands for "Legendary"."), which unlike with the English version does begin with an L.
**In the German version, he states it stands for "Leider nur Zweiter", which means "unfortunately only second".
