Taunts are different between every character - even those who are direct [[clones]] of another, with the exception of Ryu and Ken’s side taunt, where they hold their fist forward, though the words they speak while performing it are different, and Ken also bumps his fists together first before performing the animation. However, taunts always have the character doing a motion (such as dancing) and the character may speak or yell out a battle cry, which is often taken advantage of within [[taunt match]]es. Taunts have variable durations between characters, some of which are very noticeable, such as {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s taunt in ''Melee'', which is the slowest in the game, taking more than three times longer to finish than {{SSBM|Kirby}}'s taunt, which is the fastest in the game. However, some characters such as {{SSB|Mario}} in ''SSB'', {{SSBM|Pikachu}} in ''Melee'' and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} in ''Smash 4'' can [[interrupt]] their taunts noticeably earlier than the end of the animation. In ''Ultimate'', this feature is amplified to every taunt in the game except those that affect gameplay (such as {{SSBU|Greninja}} and {{SSBU|Luigi}}'s down taunts), being all interruptible on [[frame]] 50 regardless of their animation length, although several of them have faster animations than in previous games regardless. | Taunts are different between every character - even those who are direct [[clones]] of another, with the exception of Ryu and Ken’s side taunt, where they hold their fist forward, though the words they speak while performing it are different, and Ken also bumps his fists together first before performing the animation.

[[Cloud]] and [[Sephiroth]] are the only characters in non-Japanese versions of the series who still speak Japanese in any of their taunts as of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. However, some "speaking" taunts change between languages. A notable example is [[Jigglypuff]], whose dialogue changes to reflect its name in other languages, such as its Japanese name, "''Purin''" or Fox in ''Melee'', when he says " | [[Cloud]] and [[Sephiroth]] are the only characters in non-Japanese versions of the series who still speak Japanese in any of their taunts as of ''[[Super Smash Bros.

One of the intended uses of taunting is after KOing an opponent, which is implied by [[CPU]]s using them as such at all times in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''; in the latter game, this includes the opponent [[self-destruct]]ing or getting KOed by a teammate of the CPU. Similarly, in ''SSB'', they taunt any time they launch an opponent a far distance away. In ''SSB4'', this was changed so CPUs will not always taunt, with their likelihood decreasing as their level increases: level 9 CPUs will never taunt on the whole. While CPUs usually never use taunts for other purposes (such as removing Copy Abilities as Kirby), CPU {{SSB4|Luigi}} in ''SSB4'' will, interestingly, attempt to use his down taunt against foes hanging on [[ledge]]s. Unlike in the previous titles, CPUs in ''Ultimate'' don’t taunt at all with the exception of [[Figure Player]]s. Also in ''Ultimate'', Figure Players can use their taunts during the battle, with the frequency of the taunt and which taunt they perform being able to be determined by the player as they learn. | One of the intended uses of taunting is after KOing an opponent, which is implied by [[CPU]]s using them as such at all times in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''; in the latter game, this includes the opponent [[self-destruct]]ing or getting KOed by a teammate of the CPU.
