Mario, Luigi, Naruto, and Ichigo idling.
Sonic and Tails' idle pose, on Waiting Room.
Four characters idling (left) and Sonic's and Tails' idle poses (right) in Super Smash Flash 2.

Idle, also referred to as stand, stance, or idle animation, is the state of staying still during a match in the Super Smash Bros. series and in the Super Smash Flash series. If the player presses the attack button during this animation, they will perform a neutral attack.

Some characters perform cancellable minor animations if they idle for enough time. This time is, most times, randomized. These minor animations are called idle poses and are rare in both Super Smash Flash and Super Smash Flash 2. Below is a list of characters with randomized idle poses.
