*The conversations about Olimar and [[Alph]] are identical, hence Pit not referring to them by name. Alph is the only alternate character (that isn't a simple gender swap) whose Guidance conversation isn't different from the main character's. | |||
*Like how Snake's [[Codec Conversations#Olimar|codec about Olimar]] has Mei Ling verbally reference "{{SSBBMusicLink|Pikmin|Ai no Uta}}," Viridi listing all of the Pikmin's attributes in order may be a reference to "{{SSBBMusicLink|Pikmin|Tane no Uta}}," which does the same thing in its lyrics (though Viridi does not directly quote it). | |||

* Palutena's statement regarding Shulk's height is somewhat inaccurate; his [https://xeno-underground.net/katimus/monado_archives/xba_033.jpg official height] is 171cm, or 5'7". As the correct height is listed in the Japanese version, this was likely a conversion error by the translators. | * Palutena's statement regarding Shulk's height is somewhat inaccurate; his [https://xeno-underground.net/katimus/monado_archives/xba_033.jpg official height] is 171cm, or 5'7".

These conversations are new to ''Ultimate''. The majority of veterans that were in the base roster of ''Smash 4'' reuse their dialogue from {{forwiiu}}, with the exceptions of Ganondorf, Ike, Link, Robin, Sheik, and Zelda, as well as Mii Gunner and Wario through updates. These new and altered conversations are listed below. | |||

Note: Palutena calling Bayonetta a "wearer of questionable outfits" is likely based on her default clothes being made entirely of her own hair, which also exposes parts of her body when using the Wicked Weaves (an aspect which is heavily censored in ''Smash Bros.''). Viridi's advice telling Pit to "just wiggle around" out of her combos may jokingly reference the derisive "Just [[SDI]]" meme that appeared in response to complaints about Bayonetta in ''Smash 4'', as SDI is one of the most effective methods to escape Bayonetta's aerial strings. | Note: Palutena calling Bayonetta a "wearer of questionable outfits" is likely based on her default clothes being made entirely of her own hair, which also exposes parts of her body when using the Wicked Weaves (an aspect which is heavily censored in ''Smash Bros.'').

Regional difference: In the Japanese version, Viridi's last line instead has her saying she "wonder[s] what happens if [Incineroar] fights with {{SSBU|Little Mac}}", possibly referencing [[List of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character trailers#Ken and Incineroar|its reveal trailer]]. | Regional difference: In the Japanese version, Viridi's last line instead has her saying she "wonder[s] what happens if [Incineroar] fights with {{SSBU|Little Mac}}", possibly referencing [[List of Super Smash Bros.

Characters available as [[downloadable content]] use a generic Guidance conversation, presumably to avoid having to repeatedly bring in the characters' voice actors for new lines each time a new character is added. The generic conversation was discovered at {{forwiiu}}'s launch in [http://vocaroo.com/i/s0KivwmAoIq3 the game's] [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25168286 sound files]. The conversation consists of Pit, Palutena, and Viridi briefly discussing an unknown fighter. Unused and inaccessible through normal play at first, it was confirmed to be a placeholder conversation for additional fighters on April 15th, 2015, with the release of the first DLC character, [[Mewtwo]]. Despite [[Bayonetta]]'s reveal trailer involving new voice work of the characters, they did not voice a guidance conversation for her nor any of the previous DLC fighters (which, as DLC was now complete, would have filled in the roster and obviated the generic placeholder). | Characters available as [[downloadable content]] use a generic Guidance conversation, presumably to avoid having to repeatedly bring in the characters' voice actors for new lines each time a new character is added.
