It is human nature to celebrate when a victory is achieved. And so it is with video game characters.
At the end of a battle, the victorious character or characters will almost always perform an action to celebrate their success. It may be small (Ryu in ''[[Street Fighter]]'' thrusting an arm up) or elaborate (Chun Li in the same game jumping for joy and shouting "YATTA!") depending on the character or the circumstance. [[Stab the Sky]] is often a [[Bicep
Every [[Fighting Game]] and [[Role Playing Game]] since the earliest days of video gaming has done this to some extent. The poses grew more elaborate as technology advanced, to the point where you may actually see a full-on [[Happy Dance]].

'''Sheena:''' ...The most...<br />
'''Zelos:'''...Sexy! DEAD SEXY! }}
** Note that in most of the [[Tales Series]], the end-of-battle voice clip goes to the person who scored the final killing hit, mostly to prevent those sorts of collisions. And the clips vary from the standard [[Hot
** ''[[Tales of Hearts (Video Game)|Tales of Hearts]]'' adds new layers to the context-sensitive [[Victory Quote]]. Examples: If [[Ridiculously Human Robot|Kunzite]] is ever poisoned or cursed, [[The Lancer|Hisui]] will ask him exactly how that happens to a Mechanoid. With a certain party in the icy north, Shing gets cold, and his love interest Kohak offers to hold his hands to keep him warm - flustering Shing and angering her brother Hisui. Specifically, the game has ''seventy-four'' different victory skits for different parties, places, situations, enemy types and bosses, and your combat efficiency, ''not'' including the normal individual "we won!" lines.
** [[Tales of Vesperia (Video Game)|Tales of Vesperia]] has this as well.
{{quote| '''[[Hello, Nurse!|Judith]]''': Victory pose!<br />
'''[[Cute Bruiser|Karol]]''': ''(To Rita)'' You too!<br />
'''[[Teen Genius|Rita]]''': Oh ''hell'' no! }}
Line 103:
* In ''[[Okami (Video Game)|Okami]]'', Amaterasu usually does a victory howl whenever you defeat a boss. She doesn't do one after defeating Crimson Helm, due to being in a hurry, and in the fight against Yami, she stops mid howl as soon as she realizes that Issun shouldn't be standing on her nose right now.
** This continues in ''[[Okamiden (Video Game)|Okamiden]]''. And it's ''[[Ridiculously Cute Critter|adorable]]''.
* While playing a MMORPG in the ''[[Lucky Star]]'' [[OAV]], Konata suggested to the rest of her party members that they should create a [[Victory Pose]] for themselves. Naturally, Konata [[Shout
* In ''[[Billy Hatcher and The Giant Egg]]'', upon receiving an emblem, Billy will spin around on one foot, before holding out a thumbs-up and yelling "Good Morning!".
* In ''[[Wild Arms 2 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 2]]'', Lilka celebrates solving her Millennium puzzle by throwing up the V-sign.
Line 112:
* In ''[[Populous the Beginning]]'', your units form a ''conga line'' upon victory.
* Every character does this when he/she makes a touchdown in ''[[Backyard Sports|Backyard Football]]''.
* Every character in ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'' has their own [[Victory Pose]]: Frog [[Bicep
* In [[Dance Dance Revolution]] Hottest Party 3/MUSIC FIT, during one-player mode, at the end of a song when your score is being tallied, your character will wait for the results of their score. It's even different depending on gender!
** The best score, AAA, the character is obviously very triumphant. The girls gesture to the audience around them, then throw their arms out proudly; the guys do an "ooh yes yes yes" pose before punching the sky.
Line 131:
* Whoever lands the killing blow in ''[[Persona 3 (Video Game)|Persona 3]]'' and ''[[Persona 4 (Video Game)|Persona 4]]'' will pull a victory pose. In ''3'', if the final blow was an All-Out Attack, the game treats it as the main character landing the kill; in ''4'', the party will instead perform a [[Team Shot]] of their victory poses.
* The Tank from ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'', a super muscular zombie, will raise its fists in the air and slam them down to the ground if it manages to incapacitate or kill all the survivors.
* Every playable pilot in ''[[Front Mission]] 3'' has a unique pose when he/she destroys an enemy unit. Doubly awesome because it's ''the mecha'' they are piloting does the pose. [[Fair Cop|Miho]] salutes, [[The Lancer|Ryogo]] gives a thumbs-down, [[The Hero|Kazuki]] points skyward, [[Cool Shades|Liu]] [[Badass Arm
* ''[[Daemon Bride]]'' is one of the few fighting games to avert this trope at all.
