List of victory poses (SSB4)

The following is a list of victory poses of characters in Super Smash Bros. 4, shown in the order of the left, up, and right buttons on the D-pad that can determine them. In the E3 2014 demo, each character only had one victory pose. Veterans seem to have their poses based on those from Brawl, with a few exceptions. Additionally, some characters have unique expressions in their victory poses in the Wii U version. In Team Battles, each character has only one of their victory poses.
