It is human nature to celebrate when a victory is achieved. And so it is with video game characters.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
** ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' has a variation: The characters dance twice, then walk off the screen.
** ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' is the first game in the series to give some characters different pose animations (most noticeable with Cid.)
** [[Lampshade Hanging]]: In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', while passing as a soldier, Cloud is commanded by a superior officer to come up with a special salute for the President. He offers his Victory Pose. It's particularly funny as the guards he's with [[Hero Worshipper|instantly declare it the coolest thing ever]] and spend the rest of the game practising it in the locker room. Once you reach the Submarine mission in the Underwater Mako Reactor, you meet them again and get a bit of dialogue and see them practice <s>their</s> Cloud's victory pose for the last time. Now you got two choices: Take them as "hostage" and let them live, or fight them to the death while Rufus' March is playing on the background, complete with in-battle dialogue. An odd mix of comedy and making the player appear a [[Complete Monster]].
*** The game has a decent example of a specific nature of the victory pose: one from a busty female. After all, zooming in on Tifa as she leans back isn't exactly a subtle way of [[Male Gaze|featuring her bust]]. The Victory Fanfare is available on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YCN-a0NsNk youtube.]▼
▲The game has a decent example of a specific nature of the victory pose: one from a busty female. After all, zooming in on Tifa as she leans back isn't exactly a subtle way of featuring her bust.
** Interestingly, in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' certain characters will stop doing their victory pose between certain plot points, usually when something is upsetting them.
** ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'': when Lulu finishes off the last enemy, the camera may focus on her, and unlike Tifa, [[Jiggle Physics|physics]] really come into play with her. The pose itself? ''She leans forward''. Needless to say, her outfit is low-cut enough that plenty becomes readily visible. Finish any battle with the party on Haste in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' and you get to see their poses done in hyper speed. Just look at Wakka's...Ahh, yes. Wakka's air humping.
Line 99 ⟶ 95:
** And Dixie goes APEsh... well, let's just say she gives a mean guitar solo when it's her that completes the level.
** All 5 playable kongs also have a shorter animation in [[Donkey Kong 64]] after getting a banana.
*
** Soul Calibur IV introduces the Critical Finish, an ability that scores a one-hit KO if used. Winning the match by using one will prompt a unique victory pose.
* ''[[Lost Odyssey]]'' ends each successful battle with a pan over the party members, ending on the one who dealt the final blow, as they perform their various Victory Poses. The poses are mostly fairly standard, but Tolten's "victory pose" is an emphatic relieved sigh.
Line 151 ⟶ 147:
* In the [[James Bond]] movie ''[[GoldenEye (film)|GoldenEye]]'', Boris the Russian computer specialist does this when he cracks a system or performs another feat of coding mastery. 'I am inwincible!' are his final words, uttered while in this pose, just before a tank of liquid nitrogen exploded and froze him solid still in his pose.
=== [[Live
* ''Some [[Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series get a synchronized post-finishing procedure (to go with the morph pose and the roll call pose), though it's far from all. However, turning around and looking cool as the [[Monster of the Week]] goes boom in the background is a time-honored tradition. (Like all of 'em, it's subject to [[Lampshade Hanging]]. Once in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]],'' the team does this... but the monster survives and blasts the Rangers from behind. In ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]],'' a monster-hosted [[Clip Show]] had more than one bad guy complain about the Rangers adding insult to injury with the turn-and-pose.)
