A '''T-pose''', sometimes known as a '''bind pose''' or '''reference pose''', is the default, unanimated state of a 3D model. The model's moving parts are all straightened out or flattened for ease of animation; in most cases, this results in a pose where the character stands erect and stretches their arms out horizontally on either side, resembling the letter "T". | A '''T-pose''', sometimes known as a '''bind pose''' or '''reference pose''', is the default, unanimated state of a 3D model.

The "bind pose" is the model's default pose used during development, which is then deformed to create animations. As expected, the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series uses bind poses to animate its characters, and players can view these using external programs, such as BRRES Viewer. | ||

The vast majority of characters in ''Smash'' use standard T-poses, but certain characters have variants due to their body characteristics. [[Yoshi]], [[Pikachu]] and [[R.O.B.]], for instance, have their arms extended in front of their bodies, while {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} in ''[[Melee]]'', [[Arsène]]<ref>https://youtube.com/watch?v=EUWIDXHuuUk&t=240s</ref>, {{SSBU|Terry}}<ref>https://twitter.com/firubiii/status/1192301470982582272</ref>, {{SSBU|Byleth}}<ref>https://twitter.com/firubiii/status/1222377730550980610</ref>, and {{SSBU|Mythra}}<ref>https://twitter.com/Zeckemyro/status/1368104443510677505?s=20</ref> unusually use an "A-pose" instead of a T-pose. Although {{SSB4|Link}}'s model uses the standard T-pose within the files of ''Smash 4'', if his bind pose is forced to display through glitches, it will instead appear as a more dynamic battle pose. | |||
Characters that use model effects for facial expressions (such as [[Sonic]] or [[Kirby]]) may appear with unusual facial expressions when viewed in their bind pose. For example, Sonic's eyes will always appear closed, while Kirby's mouth will be forced into the "O" shape used for his [[Inhale (Kirby)|Inhale]]. | Characters that use model effects for facial expressions (such as [[Sonic]] or [[Kirby]]) may appear with unusual facial expressions when viewed in their bind pose.

Bind poses are generally only intended for game development and, in theory, they should never be seen in the actual gameplay of a final product. In ''Super Smash Bros.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, some attacks will cause bind poses to appear for a single [[frame]], such as Olimar's [[Pikmin Chain]] and Ganondorf's [[Beast Ganon]]; seeing these bind poses, however, requires almost perfect timing with the [[pause]] button, as well as external help by slowing the game's pace down considerably. | ||
Hacks and glitches are the most common method to seeing bind poses appear in gameplay, as they act as a failsafes for animations that do not exist, thus helping to prevent [[game crash]]es. [[Moveset swap]] hacks, for instance, are particularly notorious for featuring numerous bind poses, as bind poses are used when the two involved characters' special moves have an unequal number of frames or if the two animations have different names. Furthermore, hacking ordinarily non-playable characters into matches, such as [[Giga Bowser]], will cause their losing poses to be the bind pose on the [[results screen]], due to a lack of "applause" animations. | Hacks and glitches are the most common method to seeing bind poses appear in gameplay, as they act as a failsafes for animations that do not exist, thus helping to prevent [[game crash]]es.
