Super Move Portrait Attack: Difference between revisions

* In the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|third]]- and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|fourth]]-generation ''Pokémon'' games, Pokémon using a move outside of battle (Cut, Fly, etc.) flash across the screen and cry before performing the action.

** It also happens when you're challenged by a Gym Leader.

* Despite it being during the era of sprites, before zoom-ins and portraits were feasible, the final battle of ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' manages a variant. When Kefka begins charging his [[Awesome but Impractical|Forsaken]] attack, a small sprite representing his laughing face will appear on the battlefield. When he appeared in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' the same attack reappears as his [[Limit Break]] and a more traditional close-up of his face is used before pulling back to show the attack.

* The final boss of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' made the most of its newfangled 3-D graphics to give the final boss a dramatic face close-up when he performed his [[Overly-Long Fighting Animation|infamous]] Supernova attack.
