A victory pose is a short animation that any character or team characters does after winning a match while the losers stand in the background or in a separate window, applauding politely, albeit sometimes to different effects; while characters such as Marth and Ness clap rather ordinarily, characters such as Lucario and Wolf seem to do so more begrudgingly. Typically, every character will have three different poses that can be performed at the end of a match. The results screen will then appear after the victory poses are finished.
While a majority of characters will applaud for the victor, there exist some exceptions. In Super Smash Bros., Jigglypuff doesn't clap and instead just moves its head to the right and does nothing else, though in Super Smash Bros. Melee and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it moves its head left and right without stopping. The Ice Climbers also don't clap and instead cry while wiping their faces, referencing the screen seen when failing a bonus stage in Ice Climber. Mewtwo simply stands with his arms crossed, looking away in disappointment. Diddy Kong takes off his cap and looks down at the ground with a confused expression on his face, scratching his head, as a reference to his idle pose in the original Donkey Kong Country. The Pokémon Trainer, as a reference to the Pokémon Stadium games, will pull his hat down, cover his face with his hand and hang his head in disappointment while the last Pokémon he had out when the match ended applauds instead. While Wario does clap, he will cease clapping every few seconds to open his mouth and call out towards the victor.
Super Smash Bros. Melee is the only game where characters can stand in different elevations when doing a victory pose. This can making them apparently float beside their teammates after they win a team battle.
Buttons
The victory poses are picked randomly. However, if the player is holding down on a specific button during the match's end, it'll force the character to use a specific animation. In Melee, holding down X or Y determines the victory pose that will occur. A and B must also be pressed for a character with more than two poses. In Brawl, the B, Y and X buttons on the GameCube controller can be held down before the victory screen to choose a pose. Hitting the d-pad in a certain direction will also determine the pose.
The DOJO!! claims the pose chosen is based upon the taunt being used by the character at the time the match ended, if any. In reality, the game follows a mechanic similar to its predecessors, in which the pose chosen is based upon the button being held down when the match ended, regardless of the character striking a taunt or not.
