Taunt matches are still a fairly common occurrence, particularly on [[For Fun]]. However, as a result of the taunting limit, they are not nearly as ubiquitous as they were in ''Brawl''. Characters with repetitive and/or aggravating attack animations and sounds are frequently used, as their attacks can be used as [[Taunt#Custom taunts|pseudo-taunts]] to bypass the taunting limit. {{SSB4|Wario}} is a good example, as most of his moveset (particularly his [[Wario Waft]]) is accompanied by humorous animations and sounds, while his [[Wario Bike]] taunt is unaffected by the limit, making him a more frequent sight in taunt matches than in ''Brawl''. {{SSB4|Ganondorf}} and {{SSB4|Shulk}} are also occasionally seen due to their memetic status among players, who often find unintentional humor in their moves and mannerisms. | Taunt matches are still a fairly common occurrence, particularly on [[For Fun]].

Notably, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U-iW7nUV_o&app=desktop a partial taunt match]] occurred in high-level play during the [[EVO 2015]] qualifiers, during which {{sm|Manny}} and {{sm|True Blue}} both charged {{SSB4|Sonic}}'s [[Spin Dash]] for over a minute, much to the annoyance of spectators. | |||
