A blind pose, sometimes known as a T-pose or reference pose, is the default unanimated state of a model in 3D graphics. This pose is often with all of a model's various parts straightened out or flattened for ease of animation. For most characters, this results in a pose where the legs are straight and the arms are pointing sideways in a T shape.
Description
While a game is in development, character models are created. Afterwards, textures are applied to the character model; in this case, the blind pose acts as the best way to allow the programmer and/or artist to apply textures, as the blind pose allows the viewer to see all sides of the model's body with no obstruction.
As one may expect, the Super Smash Bros. series is no exception to this "rule" of programming, and it is possible to view these blind poses through certain methods and circumstances.
While the vast majority of characters use standard T-poses, certain characters have variants due to their body characteristics. Yoshi for example has his arms straight out in front of him instead of to the side (as does R.O.B.), while Ganondorf's armour in Melee forces him to take on an "A-pose" instead of a T-pose.
Characters that use model effects for facial expressions (such as Sonic or Kirby) can have their facial expressions to look unusual when forced into their blind pose. Sonic's eyes, for instance, will always appear closed, while Kirby's mouth will be forced into its standard "o" shape.
In gameplay
In theory, blind poses should never be seen in the actual gameplay of the final product, with some exceptions, such as built-in hacking tools, as seen with products such as The Sims 2 Body Shop. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, however, some attacks will cause blind poses to appear for a very short period of time, such as Olimar's Pikmin Chain and Ganondorf's Beast Ganon; seeing these blind poses, however, requires almost perfect timing with the pause button, as well as external help by slowing the game's pace down considerably.
Among the common ways to see blind poses, however, is through the use of moveset swap hacks. While some attacks may work correctly, most that do not force the player's character into a blind pose due to a lack of animations; as moveset swapping is extremely buggy, this can cause many blind poses to appear, along with particularly unusual effects resulting from these.
Other hacks can also result in blind poses as well; hacking Giga Bowser into brawls will cause his losing pose to be the blind pose on the results screen, for example.
It is not known how to trigger a blind pose in the original Super Smash Bros. game.
