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

Joker

Note: Joker has a unique victory screen based on the results screen from Persona 5.

Left: Morgana bumps into the screen, then Joker starts running indefinitely.
Up: Joker boards the Morganamobile, which drives forward indefinitely.
Right: Morgana hops and celebrates, then Joker starts running indefinitely.
Special: If Joker finishes a Stock or Stamina match with his Final Smash, the splash screen will persist into the results screen, similarly to Persona 5.

The color of Joker's victory screen can also change. If playing on any stage other than Mementos with three or more players, Joker's results screen color will match the player port color (though the background will remain red). If playing on Mementos, Joker's results screen will match the color and aesthetic of the stage, and his victory theme will change to music from the corresponding game. The color of Mementos takes priority over his team and player port color. If Stage Morph triggers, the victory theme's color will remain if Mementos's song has played. However, this does not occur if the song plays on a custom stage.

If Joker is in a Team Battle and someone else is in front, he uses a unique animation: he tightens his glove, similarly to the pose he does at the end of his Final Smash, then assumes a pose similar to his idle stance. [1]

The male and female Trainers also have variations in their own pose depending on the gender of the Trainer, similarly to the Inklings.

Left: Flies into the scene, lands, and drifts to a stop.
Up: Somersaults and screeches, then lands with a slash.

After halting, he spins his arms in alternating directions and rotates his head 360° counterclockwise.

- If Lucina is present after a match, male Robin sometimes says "Lucina, I hope I didn't hurt you." ("ルキナ、痛くなかったかい?, Lucina, are you hurt?). This is rather glitchy, as it can play even if Lucina does not participate in a match.

- If Robin's Final Smash has been used during the match, Chrom will sometimes say "My strength is yours!" (お前は俺が守る!, I'll protect you!), the same quote Chrom shouts when a unit pairs up with him in Awakening. Oddly, this clip is unavailable in the Sound Test.

Rosalina & Luma

Ryu

Left: Winds back and does a pose with his right fist facing the camera; his victory pose from Street Fighter IV. In English, he says "Give it your all!", while in Japanese, he says "必殺のタイミングを計れ!" (Gauge the timing of your special moves!), one of his victory quotes from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
Up: Slings his bag over his shoulder while saying "The journey has just begun." ("旅はまだ…始まったばかりだ", Yet the journey... has just begun.) This is one of his victory quotes from Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Left: Kicks once, spins on the ground, then poses.

Shulk

Left: Swings the inactive Monado upwards, then places it on his back, saying either "I got through that pretty good!" ("よかった、これで解決ですね。", All good, it's been quite resolved.) or "This is a good result!" ("結構よい仕上がりだね？", It was a splendid completion, huh?).

Simon

Left: Shouts "I vanquish the darkness!" ("闇を打つ！", Strike the darkness!) as he whips the ground around him twice, before holding the Vampire Killer taut.

Snake

Left: Does a spin kick, a side kick, and then finishes in a CQC stance, all while saying "Not even close!" ("まだまだだな。", Not yet.). The pose is a reference to the end of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots when Old Snake fights Liquid Ocelot.
