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 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.)
