The following is a list of all taunts in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Bayonetta

• Up taunt: Twirls around like a ballet dancer, moves both arms around her in a graceful manner, then strikes a pose with both arms over her head, saying, "If you need to learn how to talk to a lady, ask your mum." Based on her long taunt from Bayonetta 2.
• Side taunt: Gracefully spins around, then points both guns directly in front of her, saying, "New 'do, dead you." The quote comes from her short taunt while wielding Salamandra in Bayonetta 2.
• Down taunt: Poses with her guns around her head in multiple ways, framing her head and torso with her guns, performs a broad back step, looking away from her opponent one moment, then looking back. Based off of the dances she performs prior to fighting Joy for the first time.

*Due to the length of her taunts, players are capable of canceling out of them halfway through.

1. Flashes a V-Sign.

5. Assumes a fearful position with his hands on his cheeks, mimicking his artwork from Luigi's Mansion.

• Side Taunt: Stands straight up with hands on hips, falls forward stiff on the floor, then seems to balance himself back up again. He says something that resembles "Pow pow".

The kick can damage an opponent if it connects, acting as a meteor smash; in this game, Luigi's taunt is the strongest meteor smash at 0%, due to its fixed knockback.

Toon Link

• Up Taunt: Waves the Wind Waker to that of "Wind God's Aria", conducting a tune at the end, which is the same one heard after completing a song in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. However, he will only face the screen if facing left; if he performs it when facing right, he will face the background instead.
• Side Taunt: Looks around uncertainly; unlike in Brawl, a fairy flies around him as he does so, making it more similar to Link's taunt.
• Down Taunt: Swings his sword around in a blind panic, so much so it tires him out and he gasps for breath.
