==={{SSB4|Bayonetta}}===
*'''[[Bat Within]]''' &ndash; If Bayonetta is hit at the start of any dodge or the end of her down special, she’ll transform into a burst of bats and only take half the damage.
*'''[[Bullet Climax]]''' &ndash; Bayonetta alternates which guns she fires each time you use this move. Keep hitting the button while she’s firing to let off more shots.

*'''[[Strong side|Strong Side]] Attack''' &ndash; Keep pressing the button and Bayonetta will do a three-kick attack. The last kick launches foes, so go for a quick midair attack right after!
*'''[[Witch Time]]''' &ndash; A clock will appear over an enemy to tell you how much Witch Time is left. Try to get your attacks in before the clock counts down!
*'''Witch Time''' &ndash; A successful counter will cause time to slow down for up to two seconds, but using the move repeatedly will reduce that to as low as one second.

==={{SSB4|Bowser}}===
*'''[[Bowser Bomb]]''' &ndash; Bowser will leap into the air hornsfirst. Hitting an opponent on the way up makes it much easier to clobber them again on the way down.
*'''[[Fire Breath]]''' &ndash; Fire Breath loses power the longer it is used. Waiting a short time between bursts will allow it to recharge.
*'''Tough Guy''' &ndash; Bowser's a real tough guy. When he's only lightly damaged, weaker attacks won't make him flinch.

*'''[[Flare Blitz]]''' &ndash; There's a big explosion when Charizard hits a fighter or an obstacle. This can hit other nearby fighters, too!
*'''Flare Blitz''' &ndash; This move engulfs Charizard in flames. It's extremely powerful, but [[Recoil damage|it hurts Charizard too]].
*'''[[Rock Smash]]''' &ndash; Right before smashing a rock, Charizard gets [[super armor]], meaning it won't even flinch if it's attacked!
*'''Rock Smash''' &ndash; The rock shards will fly in random directions. Get close to your target to maximize damage.
*'''Strong Up Attack''' &ndash; Charizard's wings won't take damage, making this good for overpowering foes striking from overhead.

==={{SSB4|Cloud}}===
*'''[[Blade Beam]]''' &ndash; Cloud releases a shock wave along the ground. As you'd guess by looking, the attack range is quite wide, so you'll need to jump high to clear it.

*'''Climhazzard''' &ndash; This move's Limit Break lets you jump higher and even move sideways on the way up! Very useful for recoveries.
*'''[[Cross Slash]]''' &ndash; If you press the button again when connecting with an enemy, you can hit them up to three times. Otherwise, Cloud only attacks once.
*'''Cross Slash''' &ndash; You only need to press the button once to unleash the full attack if you use your Limit Break. Even better, launching enemies becomes much easier.
*'''Down Smash Attack''' &ndash; Cloud attacks a foe and then sends the foe flying off behind him. Use this when close to an edge to get out of sticky situations.
*'''[[Finishing Touch]]''' &ndash; This is Cloud's down special once the Limit Gauge is charged. The tornado doesn't do much damage, but it can KO enemies with its high launching power.
*'''Front Air Attack''' &ndash; Cloud takes a huge vertical swing at an enemy. Hitting an opponent with the tip of the sword has a meteor effect.
*'''Limit Break''' &ndash; Fully charging your Limit Gauge lets you perform a Limit Break, which alters your special attacks and gives them a boost.
*'''Limit Break''' &ndash; Once charged, Cloud's Limit Gauge remains charged until he uses a special move or is knocked out. It won't decrease over time.
*'''[[Limit Charge]]''' &ndash; You can cancel charging by pressing the shield button or dodging left or right. Use this to get in a quick charge during quiet moments!

The first hit isn't so powerful, so the penalty for getting countered isn't high.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} This quick three-hit smash has high launching power on the last hit.

*'''Counter Surge''' &ndash; This move will knock foes skyward with a fair amount of force, so try using it in a high-up place to really boot them off the stage!

*'''[[Dragon Fang Shot]]''' &ndash; The two stages of this move—shooting water and the bite attack—can both be charged by holding down the button at the right point.
*'''Dragon Fang Shot''' &ndash; The water projectile will paralyze whoever it hits, giving you the time you need to follow up with a fully charged biting attack!
*'''[[Dragon Lunge]]''' &ndash; After launching this move from the ground, quickly press the attack button to instantly skewer the ground.
*'''Dragon Lunge''' &ndash; Skewering surfaces with this move allows for follow-up moves, such as recovering from falls by skewering a wall and then leaping to safety!
*'''Dragon Lunge''' &ndash; You can keep enemies from moving for a while if you pierce them while skewering a surface. Beware: opponents can escape by wiggling around!
*'''Side Smash Attack''' &ndash; Charge this move to juggle foes with Corrin’s sword Yato before unleashing the coup de grâce! It has a long range and can be aimed up or down a little!
*'''Side Smash Attack''' &ndash; Try to get the hang of hitting opponents with the point of Corrin’s lance-arm, as that part inflicts more damage than the rest.
*'''Up Smash Attack''' &ndash; Corrin gets low and attacks straight up with lance-like arms. Try to hit enemies with the points for more damage.

*'''[[Electroshock Arm]]''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} Dark Pit charges forward and launches foes upward at a lower angle than Pit's Upperdash Arm.

*'''[[Monkey Flip]]''' &ndash; After grabbing on to an opponent with this move, press the attack button to launch them sideways or press up to jump off their head!
*'''Monkey Flip''' &ndash; If you grab someone in the air, you'll release them more quickly than if you grab them on the ground. Be ready to use a speedy follow-up attack.
*'''Monkey Flip''' &ndash; While performing this move, you can press the attack button to launch a flying kick that deals considerable damage and has good launching power.

*'''Forward Throw''' &ndash; Donkey Kong can pick up opponents and carry them around! Try to throw them before they shake free, though.

*'''[[Falco Phantasm]]''' &ndash; Falco Phantasm can send an airborne enemy straight down—use it to dunk them into the abyss!
*'''[[Reflector]]''' &ndash; Falco kicks his Reflector forward, making it possible to both reflect projectiles and hit foes at the same time!

==={{SSB4|Fox}}===
*'''[[Blaster]]''' &ndash; The blaster fires quickly, and its shots go a long way, but enemies won't flinch when they're hit, so use this at a safe distance.
*'''[[Fox Illusion]]''' &ndash; When you use this move on the ground, Fox will always stop if he reaches an edge. When used in the air, you need to be a little more careful.

*'''[[Pound]]''' &ndash; A simple punch that travels horizontally. You can use it repeatedly in midair—combine it with jumps to stay aloft for a very long time.

*'''{{b|Inhale|King Dedede}}''' &ndash; After inhaling an opponent, press the button again to spit them out as a projectile. This way, you can hit your opponents with each other!
*'''Inhale''' &ndash; Dedede is already perfect, so his inhale won't copy abilities. Instead, it has a longer range than Kirby's.
*'''[[Jet Hammer]]''' &ndash; It's possible to charge this move to deal more damage, but charging for too long will start to hurt Dedede too!
*'''Strong Down Attack''' &ndash; He can attack while prone by cartwheeling forward. This lets him attack while moving, like a dash attack.

*'''{{b|Hammer|move}}''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} If fully charged, this move becomes very powerful, but Kirby will begin to take damage at full charge.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} When fully charged, this move turns into the powerful Hammer Flip. However, charging it any further causes damage to Kirby.
*'''{{b|Inhale|Kirby}}''' &ndash; In addition to enemies, Kirby can inhale some items. You'll recover a little damage this way, but sucking in explosives will hurt!
*'''Inhale''' &ndash; If you press the attack button after sucking an enemy in, you'll spit them back out. Use enemies to attack other enemies!
*'''Jump''' &ndash; Kirby's light body lets him jump five times—more than most other fighters. If Kirby gets launched but not cleared, you can almost bet he's coming back!
*'''[[Stone]]''' &ndash; Kirby's form is different each time he uses this, but the move's effect is the same.
*'''Stone''' &ndash; While falling, you can cancel the attack by entering the move a second time. It's a perfect way to trick other players!

*'''[[Bomb_(Link)|Bomb]]''' &ndash; Your bombs are special ones—the explosion from hitting an enemy won't hurt you.
*'''Dash Attack''' &ndash; Link's dash attack strikes with almost as much force as a smash attack. The point of his sword is especially painful.
*'''[[Hero's Bow]]''' &ndash; The longer Link charges his bow, the farther the arrows will fly and the more powerful they'll be. At maximum charge, they'll fly perfectly straight.
*'''[[Shield_(Link)|Hylian Shield]]''' &ndash; Link's Hylian Shield can block projectiles, but it won't block anything while you're attacking.

*'''Side Smash Attack''' &ndash; If you press up when performing Little Mac's side smash, it will change into an uppercut that sends enemies flying upward.
*'''[[Slip Counter]]''' &ndash; Just when you think you've got him, Little Mac socks you with a nasty counter. He's invincible during the attack, so there's no stopping him!

==={{SSB4|Lucario}}===
*'''[[Aura]]''' &ndash; Lucario's launching potential is directly related to how much damage this Pokémon has taken. The power of Lucario's Aura radiates off its hands.
*'''[[Aura Sphere]]''' &ndash; Other fighters can be damaged by the Aura Sphere as Lucario charges it. The size of the sphere is affected by Lucario's Aura.
*'''[[Extreme Speed]]''' &ndash; This move will send Lucario flying in the direction you indicate. The more damage Lucario has taken, the farther it will fly.
*'''[[Force Palm]]''' &ndash; Force Palm deals more damage and has a greater range if Lucario's Aura is stronger.

*'''PK Fire''' &ndash; This move can disrupt incoming attacks and projectiles, but it leaves Lucas vulnerable for a time. Be careful!
*'''[[PK Freeze]]''' &ndash; Hold down the button and a direction to extend the projectile’s arc, but remember the ice only bursts once you let go, so plan carefully!
*'''PK Freeze''' &ndash; The icy projectile can freeze enemies. Try using it to stop anybody returning to the stage!

*'''Down Taunt''' &ndash; If your foe's clinging to an edge for dear life, try using Luigi's down taunt. That meteor smash will be VERY satisfying!
*'''[[Green Missile]]''' &ndash; Charge this for too long, and he'll get worn out and give up. Let him catch his breath, and then try again.
*'''Green Missile''' &ndash; This move can end with Luigi's head stuck in a wall. That leaves him vulnerable, so be careful!
*'''Green Missile''' &ndash; This move has a 1-in-10 chance to hit REALLY hard and fly REALLY far. Too far, in some cases.

However, if the move is reflected, Mewtwo will be stunned instead, so be careful.

*'''[[Gogoat]]''' &ndash; Gogoat will let you ride on its back. Charge down opponents to deal damage!
