Up Smash: Wolf Fang Sword. Amaterasu summons her sword, which she will slash any opponent caught in the radius. It's fairly fast, but it doesn't do too much damage and it's vertical reach isn't the greatest. Down Smash: Fiery Mountain.

It has great range and power. Up Tilt: Amaterasu does a sweeping kick. It has great range, but it's slow to initiate and easy to avoid.

It summons a black hole to appear in the stage. Then, Amaterasu will summon a horde of Behemoth, faster than Kyros'slessened, to run rampant throughout the entire stage, attacking any unfortunate souls caught in their path. Any surviving enemies will be set aflame by the Behemoths' flight, and the fact that they'll be running through said fire will speed up their already frantic charge. Taunt 1: Amaterasu does a small pose, flexing her muscles. Taunt 2: Amaterasu closes her eyes and smirks, licking her lips. Taunt 3: Amaterasu's gaze turns cold as the sun, and she snarls, showing her teeth. Ameterasu's Classic Mode route is called "Rebirth".

Samus: The fearless bounty hunter who hunts Metroids in the Metroid universe. Samus is re-imagined as a powerful fighter able to use many technical skills. Dark Samus: The horrifying final form of Samus after she absorbs the powers of the Metroids in Metroid Prime. She can easily wipe out due to her overwhelming power, although she can be a big target and has a tendency to self-destruct. Ganondorf: The main villain of the Legend of Zelda series. Ganondorf is a skilled and powerful fighter, although he relies on brute force. King Dedede: The proud king of the- not very large- Dynastie of the Bunny Rabbits. The final battle is a boss fight against either King Dedede or Dark Samus, depending on the path you chose.
Ameterasu's home stage is an iconic location from Okami: The Tam-Tama Tree. The stage features a massive tree with several platforms and tunnels that stretch out from its branches.
