{{image|needs victory poses for characters}}
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. Typically, every character will have three different poses that will be performed randomly at the end of a match. The [[results screen]] will then appear after the victory poses are finished.
[[File:Mario Wins FreeforAll.png|thumb|Mario's victory pose in ''SSB''.]]
A '''victory pose''' is a short (often random) 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 by holding down a certain button, which the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!|DOJO!!]] claims is based upon the [[taunt]] being used by the character at the time, if any. The [[results screen]] will then appear after the victory poses are finished.


Each installment of the game has its own screen transitions into the victory screen upon the completion of a [[match]], where the victor performs their victory pose.
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. However, this may be because it is too round to reach its hands. [[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 the one he makes in the Donkey Kong Country games after losing in a bonus game room. 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.


==Lists of victory poses==
==''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
For most characters, the victory poses are generally the same in each game, although there are exceptions.
===[[Mario (SSB)|Mario]]===
{{main|List of victory poses (SSB)}}
*Jumps and turns around simultaneously with one arm in the air.
{{main|List of victory poses (SSBM)}}
*Spins one arm and punches the screen.
{{main|List of victory poses (SSBB)}}
*Hops thrice to the right then stops in front of the screen.
{{main|List of victory poses (SSB4)}}
{{main|List of victory poses (SSBU)}}


==Choosing a pose==
===[[Donkey Kong (SSB)|Donkey Kong]]===
The victory poses are picked randomly. However, if the player is holding down on a specific button during the match's end, it will force the character to use a specific animation.
*Hold hands and shakes them above his head twice from left to right.
*Does a backflip and flexes.
*Beats his chest.


In ''Melee'', holding down B, Y, or X determines the victory pose that will occur.
===[[Link (SSB)|Link]]===
*Kneels while sheathing his sword.
*Swings around with back turned.
*Flashes sword upwards.


In ''Brawl'', the game follows a mechanic similar to its predecessor. The B, Y and X buttons, (or up, left, and right on the D-Pad) on the GameCube controller can be held down before the victory screen to choose a pose.
===[[Samus (SSB)|Samus]]===
*Flashes gun towards screen.
*Shoots fire upwards.
*Cocks gun.


In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', the victory pose can be chosen by pressing the D-pad up, right, or left. Holding directionally down on the D-pad will not determine anything, and the pose will be chosen randomly. Also, the held pose might be changed to a different one in [[replay]]s. In [[Team Battle]]s, holding any direction does nothing.
===[[Yoshi (SSB)|Yoshi]]===
*Looks up with his hands and waves.
*Angrily punches, then turns back facing right.
*Punches the air and gives a finishing pose.


==Overview==
===[[Kirby (SSB)|Kirby]]===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', a transition animation plays before transferring to a black screen. Among these are by falling apart in a checkerboard pattern and folding into a paper plane before flying away. After this animation, the victor's [[series symbol]] appears before zooming out into the background of a tinted stage (in the color of the victor's [[damage meter]]), with the stage consisting of a checkerboard floor and clouds in the distance. The victor performs their victory pose while confetti falls down the screen, with the losers standing beside the victor, clapping. The losers' position in the background depends on their standings in the match: the lower they rank, the further away they appear.
*Does several handstands across screen.
*Slides and dances across screen.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the game immediately transitions to a black background, with the same zoom-out animation for the series symbol. The losers instead clap in a window within the results screen overlay. In a [[team battle]], characters stand in different elevations when doing a victory pose. This can make them apparently float beside their teammates after they win a team battle, which is unique within the series.
===[[Fox (SSB)|Fox]]===
*Scoffs.
*Points gun.
*Swirls gun into holster.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is no transition animation and the screen immediately turns black with the series symbol zooming out after filling the screen, like in ''Melee''. However, the camera is slightly more dynamic, zooming out in different ways while the victor performs their victory pose. This game's backdrop features a cloudy sunset backdrop with sand-colored ground, with all players once again sharing the screen using their full models, losers applauding for the victor. Also similarly to ''Smash 64'', losers appear closer or further depending on their final match ranking.
===[[Pikachu (SSB)|Pikachu]]===
*Sleeps.
*Scratches right ear.
*Backflip and twirl.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', screen transitions much like the ones from ''SSB64'' return, alongside camera angles from ''Brawl''. However, they are visually more intense and dynamic compared to all previous installations, with screen transitions including a slash across the screen or a glass-shattering effect, and camera angles being considerably more fluid. While the game still features a similar sunset backdrop as ''Brawl'' (though with the addition of several monuments in the distance), an additional spotlight in the shape of the ''Smash Bros.'' logo focuses on the victor as their animation plays. Once the [[announcer]] calls out the victor's name, the screen will dramatically shift to the shade of the victor's player color (either red, blue, yellow, green, orange, cyan, purple, or slate for human players, grey for [[CPU]] players, or mauve for [[amiibo]]). This lasts for the entire results screen on the 3DS version, but quickly reverts to the normal background if playing on the Wii U. The losers clap off-screen in a separate "results" window like in ''Melee'', although they do not clap on the results screen in {{for3ds}} or in team battles in either version of ''SSB4''.
===[[Jigglypuff (SSB)|Jigglypuff]]===
*Jiggles.
*Nods.
*Rests.


In ''SSB4''{{'}}s team battles, only the leading character animates their victory pose. In a timed match, this is the fighter with the best score; in a [[stock]] match, the one with the most stocks/least amount of damage. Their teammates play their after-pose idle animations the whole time instead. In addition, victors will only use a single, fixed victory animation instead of randomly choosing from their existing ones. Some characters will use one of two poses depending on if they were in the lead or not.
===[[Ness (SSB)|Ness]]===
*Jumps and nods confidently.
*Looks over shoulders and scratches head grinning.
*Swings [[Home Run Bat|bat]].


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the victory screens are similar to that of ''Smash 4'', though with considerable aesthetic upgrades. There are new screen transitions along with returning ones from ''SSB4'', and just like in the ''Wii U'' version, the screen will shade in the victor's player color before turning back to normal. The victory screens now take place on a detailed platform similar to {{SSBU|Battlefield}} rather than sandy ground, and many characters move around more rather than remaining static. Additionally, team battles now have every character animate rather than just the leader (with the one who landed the final hit being placed up front), with some victory poses having some alterations (for example, [[Doc Louis]] will not appear during {{SSBU|Little Mac}}'s team poses).
===[[Captain Falcon (SSB)|Captain Falcon]]===
*Kicks up.
*Kneels in a determined pose.
*Brings arm up then down confidently.


{{SSBU|Joker}} has two completely unique victory screens based on the results screen from ''Persona 5''. Normally, he constantly runs to the left with a panning red background and jagged lines surrounding him. The jagged lines use his port color in matches with three or more players. The announcer does not call out his name and the crowd does not clap for him; instead, the Phantom Thieves chime in with their own comments. If Joker lands the finishing blow with [[All-Out Attack]], the final splash art will remain as the victory screen, as in ''Persona 5'', undulating over time. If the match was played on [[Mementos]], the victory screen's aesthetic and music will change to match the stage. In addition, the transition to the victory screen will always be the animated cloud from ''Persona 5'', rather than being randomized, but the other fighters' applause windows still appear.
===[[Luigi (SSB)|Luigi]]===
*Does a dance side to side.
*Childishly swings at the air and glares at the camera.
*While facing backwards, he waves to the left and right side.


{{SSBU|Sephiroth}} also has a unique victory screen, based on his appearance during the Nibelheim Incident in ''Final Fantasy VII'', where he glares at the screen accompanied by a field of flames. The standard results theme is replaced by a single droning note, as well as the ambient sound of burning fire. All other aspects of the regular victory screen appear, including the announcer calling his name and the other fighters' applause windows.
==''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
In Melee, one can select which victory pose a character will use by holding the B, X or Y button as soon as the match ends.


In all installments except ''Melee'', canceling a game and going into the "No Contest" screen will show all characters standing and clapping onscreen. Characters in ''Melee'' simply clap in their respective "results" windows instead.
===[[Mario (SSBM)|Mario]]===
*Does a short spin-jump and lands in a strong-man pose shouting "Here we go!"
*Winds up for a punch and steps forward shouting "Here we go!"
*Makes fire explode from his palm and strikes a pose.


==Clapping animations==

*A majority of characters will applaud for the victor, but some stipulations apply:
File:Mario VP 1.png|Mario's second victory pose in ''Melee''
**While most characters who wield weapons sheathe them while clapping, or their weapons do not appear, [[Pit]] (in ''Brawl''), [[King Dedede]], and [[Rosalina]] are the only fighters who keep their weapons while clapping. [[Ike]] uniquely plants his sword into the ground while clapping in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' (only visible during a No Contest in the latter).
File:Mario VP 2.png|Mario's third victory pose in ''Melee''
**[[Jigglypuff]] cannot clap due to its short arms—instead, it simply bobs its head left and right endlessly. In ''Smash 64'', it only moves its head right and left once and then stops.
</gallery> </center>
**The [[Ice Climbers]] 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 its arms crossed, looking away in disappointment.
**In ''Brawl'', [[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 ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}''. He applauds normally in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.
**In ''Brawl'', [[Pokémon Trainer]] will pull his hat down, cover his face with his hand, and hang his head in disappointment, in reference to the ''Pokémon Stadium'' games; while the last Pokémon he had out applauds instead. In ''Ultimate'', the Trainer claps alone, and no Pokémon appear.
**No [[Pikmin]] accompany [[Olimar]]; he claps alone. A similar case applies to [[Luma]] for Rosalina.
**[[Wario]] claps, but he will stop clapping every few seconds to open his mouth and call out towards the victor.
**Only the dog claps when [[Duck Hunt]] applauds. In contrast, [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] both clap.
**Because [[Samus]], [[Dark Samus]], and [[Mii Gunner]] have arm cannons, they will instead pat it in an attempt to mimic clapping. Because [[Mega Man]] is able to convert his Mega Buster into a regular hand, this does not apply to him, and he applauds normally.
*Many characters appear to be sized differently relative to other fighters compared to their size difference in actual gameplay.
**One example includes {{SSBU|Peach}} and {{SSBU|Bowser}} (in ''Ultimate''). Bowser is significantly taller than Peach during gameplay, but appears shorter than her on the No Contest screen.
**Another example is [[Bayonetta]], who appears much taller than other characters, similarly to her design in the ''Bayonetta'' games.


==Trivia==
===[[Dr. Mario (SSBM)|Dr. Mario]]===
*Luigi (in ''Smash 64''), Wolf (in ''Brawl''), Lucas (in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''), and Richter are the only characters who share their clapping animations with another character. All of them are clone or echo characters and use the animation of the character on whom they are based.
*Holds out his stethoscope.
**In ''Ultimate'', Wolf still uses Fox's clapping animation from ''Brawl'', while Fox's has been slightly updated since then.
*Throws two pills, dusts his hands off, and then pulls out the same pills he already threw while laughing triumphantly.
**This makes ''Melee'' the only game where no characters share a clapping animation with another character.
*Does a short spin-jump and lands in a strong-man pose shouting "Here we go!"
*In Team Battles, Joker is the only character to have the camera move continuously after his victory poses finish.
*In ''Ultimate'', the characters furthest in the back in a team consisting of either six or seven characters will have certain visual effects absent during their victory animations (e.g. the dark energy radiating on Mewtwo's palm, the beam on Shulk's Monado, the beam on Mega Man's entrance, the landing smoke effects for most characters, etc.). This was possibly done in order to reduce the strain on the game's rendering engine.
*[[Byleth]] is the only character with victory poses that completely differ depending on which [[alternate costume]] is being used. [[Pokémon Trainer]] and [[Inkling]] also have slight alterations in several of their victory animations.
*[[Robin]] and [[Piranha Plant]] are the only characters with victory poses where another fighter appears (in these cases, [[Chrom]] and [[Mario]], respectively).
*[[Meta Knight]] and [[Sephiroth]] are the only characters to completely leave the screen in one of their victory poses.
*[[Kirby]] only has two victory poses in ''Smash 64'', marking the only instance in the entire series when a character has less than the usual three victory poses. However, Kirby would have three victory poses from ''Melee'' onwards.
