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''. As such, ''SSB4'' taunt matches have not reached the same level of revulsion and infamy as they did in ''Brawl'', especially because they can be largely avoided on [[For Glory]] (although For Glory taunt matches are not unheard of). | Taunt matches are still a fairly common occurrence, particularly on [[For Fun]].

As a result, Wario is used more frequently than characters that were commonly used in ''Brawl'' taunt matches such as {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}, whose movesets cannot be exploited to the same extent with the taunt limit imposed. However, Captain Falcon and similarly memetic characters such as {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSB4|Shulk}} are still occasionally seen, as players often find unintentional humor in their moves and mannerisms. | ||
