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.

Luigi

• Up Taunt: Performs five quick poses, one after the other. When switching from pose to pose he says, "Ho ha hee hay hoo".

1. Flashes a V-Sign.
2. Points both his fingers in the direction he is facing, looking frightened.
3. Holds his finger under his nose, his eyes looking at the player. This pose is, in some respects, similar to his Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time artwork.

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". This is also one of his victory poses from the Smash games starting with Melee and the pose in his SSB4 artwork when getting upright.
• Down Taunt: Crosses his arms behind his back and performs a small, shy kick, along with a bashful "Hm". 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. However, its pitiful range and slow startup severely limits its effectiveness. It is similar to his pose when he loses a minigame in Mario Party 2.

  Sheik's down taunt.

Shulk

• Up Taunt: Holds out his right hand and says while shaking his head, "Now it's Shulk time!" (穏やかじゃないですね, Not being gentle, huh?). References a line his fellow companion and best friend Reyn can potentially say while in combat, "Now It's Reyn Time!".
• Side Taunt: Fistpumps with his left hand and says, "I'm really feeling it!" (だんだん乗ってきたよ！, Gradually getting the hang of it!). References one of Shulk's infamous voice lines in combat which he commonly repeats throughout multiple battles.
• Down Taunt: Activates the Monado, poses with it, and says, "This is the Monado's power!" (モナドの力よ！, The Monado's power!/The power of the Monado!). References one of Shulk's combat lines.

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.
