 * Left: After landing, he does two alternating inward slashes with his detached blades and says "It's game over for you!" ("", Struck down-!). The finishing pose he does is similar to his Ultimate official artwork, albeit with the blade in his left hand held in a proper grip.
 * Up: Pit jumps up with his fist raised. After landing, he briefly faces away from the screen, and turns back around. He then strikes the V sign and says "Victory!" ("", Peace!). Based on the ending of Kid Icarus: Uprising.

The male Pokémon Trainer can say "You all did great!" ("", Good job, everyone!), while the female Trainer can say "Everyone did great!" ("", All of you did great!). They will either say their non-specific line, or a Pokémon-specific line. In Team Battles, if there is more than two players on the winning team, the Pokémon will not be present, but this does not affect the Trainer's lines. The male and female Trainers also have variations in their own pose depending on the gender of the Trainer, similarly to the Inklings.
 * Left: The Trainer throws a Poké Ball up as the female Trainer performs a twirl, catches it, and holds it out in front of them.
 * Up: The Pokémon does one of its moves, and the Trainer cheers it on before raising an arm in the air.

 * Left: Tosses the Aegis Sword in the air while twirling and catches it while posing, saying "We did our best!" . Rex will jump in next to her and hold his fist up, saying "Nice one, Pyra!" . In team battles, Rex does not appear if the team has three or more characters.
 * Up: Holds the Aegis Sword in front of her, then she and Rex hold it together and point it up in the air while letting out a battle cry. The final pose is similar to when they hold up the Aegis Sword during Burning Sword.
 * Right: Pyra briefly morphs into Mythra, who does a pose and spins around while morphing back into Pyra, who does a finishing pose by extending the Aegis Sword out. They both say "This is the power of the Aegis!" (, This is our power!) in unison, alternating their voices as they swap form. Her pose comes from her official artwork and her figurine with Mythra.


 * Left: Whilst spinning, Richter swings the Vampire Killer around himself while saying "You don't belong in this world!" ("", This world is not yours to live in!) before striking the ground with an overhead swing and pulling the chain taut. This line is taken from the beginning of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
 * Up: Jumps and whips the ground. Just before he lands, he spins in a brief clockwise manner. Upon landing, he assumes a pose identical to his official render and the cover from Rondo of Blood.
 * Right: While facing away from the camera, he pulls back and rolls up the Vampire Killer, putting it on his side. He then, with his back still facing the camera, turns around, similarly to his idle stance in Symphony of the Night, and makes a parting gesture saying "Farewell!"("", See you.). This is from the cutscene where he rescues Tera in Rondo of Blood.


 * Left: Flies into the scene, lands, and drifts to a stop.
 * Up: Somersaults and screeches, then lands with a slash.
 * Right: Claws at the ground repeatedly and bites once afterwards. He then turns toward the camera and grins. The way the camera is angled makes it appear as if Ridley is supposedly ravaging a downed opponent, but in Team Battles, nothing can be seen.


 * Left: While advancing forward, R.O.B. rotates his "hands" outward while his arms point out straight. 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." (", Lucina, are you hurt?). This is rather glitchy, as it can play even if Lucina does not participate in a match.
 * Up: Crosses arms with weapons in hand, then spins clockwise and swings the Levin Sword. Male Robin says "I'm always three steps ahead." ("", I always think three steps ahead.). Female Robin says "A good tactician has nothing to fear." (", If you have a strategy, there is nothing to fear.).

 * If Robin's Final Smash has been used during the match, Chrom will sometimes say "My strength is yours!" (, I'll protect you!), the same quote Chrom shouts when a unit pairs up with him in Awakening.

 * Right: Fires a Super Missile and strikes a pose resembling her render from Metroid: Other M, and by extension, her official artwork in Ultimate.

All of Sephiroth's victory screens take place in a fiery area instead of the standard area where most of the victory screens take place, a direct reference to the Nibelheim Incident from Final Fantasy VII and Crisis Core. Instead of having a colored background behind him when his name appears, the screen will be tinted red. If Sephiroth is the leader of a winning team, he will use his special victory screens without any of his teammates being seen, similarly to.

In any victory pose, there's a chance Sephiroth will say ("I will never be a memory.") if Cloud was present during the match.


 * Left: With his back turned, Sephiroth turns his head towards the camera while chuckling. He then turns around and slowly walks deeper into the flames until he disappears. It is based on the second scene of the Nibelheim Incident cutscene.
 * Up: Slowly raises his head and glares at the camera, saying ("I will usher you as many times as you want."). References the first scene of the Nibelheim Incident cutscene.
 * In team battles where Sephiroth is not the leader, he faces to the side while doing this pose, keeping his face away from the camera. This resembles his victory animation in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia.
 * Right: While turning his back to the camera, he swings the Masamune and unfurls his black wing, saying ("Remember me through your pain.").

 * Left: Raises the Monado, activates it, and swings it in an outward, downward arc. He then deactivates it and places it on his back, saying either "I got through that pretty good!" (, All good, it's been quite resolved.) or "This is a good result!" (, It was a splendid completion, huh?).
 * Up: Swings the Monado twice while it is active (the first swing is inward with both hands, and the second is an outward swing with his right arm). Then he holds it level to his head (horizontally lengthwise) as it deactivates, saying either "The future is ours to decide." (, Everyone's feelings have been coming through!) or "I've got a good rhythm going!" (, For real, this makes it a good flow!).
 * Right: Bows down with the Monado held lengthwise, with the Monado activating before Shulk holds it in a reverse grip, saying either "I can feel the power!" (, Hmm, I feel the power.) or "I can change the future." (, The future… I can change it!).


 * Left: Shouts "I vanquish the darkness!" ("", Strike the darkness!) as he whips the ground around him twice, before holding the Vampire Killer taut. This is a possible reference to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest during the end of nighttime, when the game will show a prompt stating "The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night.".
 * Against non-DLC characters affiliated with darkness (Bayonetta, Dark Pit, Dark Samus, Ganondorf, and Ridley), Simon has an 80% chance to simply say, "To darkness!" ("", Turn to darkness!).
 * Up: Holds the coiled Vampire Killer in the air before lashing it out against the ground while spinning once. The ending pose appears similar to promotional art for Castlevania Chronicles.
 * Right: Jumps up to grab a Magic Crystal then whips forward. Simon will then continuously whip and jump as the camera cuts to a side view, referencing a phenomenon when the A and B buttons are held after collecting an orb in the original Castlevania.


 * Left: Does a spin kick, a side kick, and then finishes in a CQC stance, all while saying "Not even close!" ("", 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.

 * Right: Crawls forward a step and rolls into a crouching position, saying into his codec "This is Snake. I'm done here." ("", This is Snake, returning from here.).

("", Hey guys! I'll play again next time!) The Japanese line is a reference to his victory quote after defeating a boss in Sonic Adventure.


 * Left: Jumps in the air ceremoniously, spins his Keyblade around, and then rests it on his shoulder while saying "Yes." (, Alright.) This is similar to one of his victory animations when he wins a round in one of the cups from the area in the original Kingdom Hearts, which, in turn, resembles Cloud's victory animation in Final Fantasy VII. The pose at the end is similar to his Tetsuya Nomura artwork from Kingdom Hearts and, by extension, his P1/P5 render pose.
 * Up: Swings the Keyblade forwards twice, then turns around and rests it on his shoulder while facing his back towards the player. This is also another one of his victory animations in the Coliseum, which in turn, references Squall Leonhart's victory pose in Final Fantasy VIII.
 * Right: Thrusts his Keyblade forwards, then spins it around, and points it upwards while holding it both hands. Slightly resembles the summoning animations in Kingdom Hearts.


 * Left: Terry turns around and throws his hat to the side while shouting "Okay!". Based on his signature victory pose in virtually every appearance he makes, more specifically his victory pose for Fatal Fury 2.
 * Up: Terry briefly wipes his nose before taking his hat, turning it to the side a bit and tossing it off saying “Okay!” in a much more intense fashion than his left pose. Based on his victory pose from The King of Fighters '94 and  ' 95.
 * Right: Terry brushes his hat against his right leg a couple times before putting it back on his head and looking away with his eyes covered. Based on his Round 1 victory pose from Real Bout Fatal Fury, and several other games thereafter.


 * Left: Waves the Wind Waker, ending in a pose similar to his official artwork from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
 * Up: Chases a pig. Upon catching the pig, he holds it above his head. Whilst balancing on one foot, he occasionally starts to lose balance before retaining it again.

 * Up: Performs the Triangle pose, then transitions to the Standing Knee pose, and transitions a final time to the Sideways Leg Lift pose.


 * Right: Wipes their forehead with a towel draped around their shoulders and gives a thumbs up.

In any victory pose, there's a chance Wolf will say "Playtime's over, Star Fox!" ("", Playtime is over, Star Fox!) if Fox was present during the match.
 * Left: Raises his right hand towards his face. He then moves his arms in alternating circular motions before bringing his left arm towards his right side. He then concludes by swinging out his left arm while raising his right, assuming a martial arts stance. This may be in reference to his idle stance in Brawl.
 * Up: Performs two alternating slashes and an inverted roundhouse kick, saying "You're good, but I'm better." (, You will be defeated by the very me!). After the kick, Wolf assumes a low-postured stance in which he raises his right arm behind himself while he holds out his left while smirking.
 * Right: While facing away from the camera, Wolf raises his right arm. He then turns quickly toward the camera, gesturing towards the screen with his claws. During the entirety of the pose, he says "Heh, weaklings, the lot of you." (, Hmph, such weak ones.)


 * Left: Does a flutter jump, spins once, and gives the V sign. Based on an animation from "Yoshi's Story" when a stage is completed.
 * Up: Punches the air twice, spins, and poses while standing on one foot. (Based on his "character chosen" animation from Smash 64 but has been drastically altered.)
 * Right: Angrily, he punches a few times, performs a roundhouse kick and then turns his back on the screen facing right.

Trivia

 * The left and up animations for Palutena and the up animation specifically for the odd numbered costumes for Bayonetta have slightly different mouth movements exclusive to the Japanese and Chinese language versions. These changes were made due to the voice lines in said languages lasting significantly shorter than all other languages, which would have both characters silently move their mouths otherwise.
 * Masahiro Sakurai showed an early version of Mythra's left victory animation in a YouTube video, notably with the tip of the blade having a significantly lower polygon count. Sakurai requested the polygon count be increased to look better.
