A stock pose seen in cartoon openings, movie posters, video game box art, comics covers, paintings, this is a shot that pits two teams against each other on opposite sides of the screen. It can be a massive group shot, featuring all the series's heroes and villains, or show just two characters— all that matters is that the two sides are facing each other and look ready to strike.
Usually the left and right side are evenly balanced and evenly matched. The characters across from one another tend to be counterparts and are often mimicking the other side's pose, and suggesting Counterpart Combat Coordination.
This trope can be used for thematic reasons, to emphasize how the characters aren't so different and the villain is the dark mirror of the other, but it's just as likely to be a dynamic version of the Team Shot with villainy added for spice.
A variant often seen in fight scenes involves a stationary long shot framing two groups running at each other into combat, often one-on-one as a Counterpart Combat Coordination. Usually they don't start fighting all at once, rather, it starts in the back or front of the line and moves to the other side from there.
Compare Juxtaposed Halves Shot (where half of two characters' sides/faces are juxtaposed to or beside each other), Fearful Symmetry (where both characters involved are usually shown in profile in an ongoing Blade Lock), and Versus Character Splash (where two characters' faces are briefly shown in a Splash Screen as a prelude to a battle in a Fighting Game).

The title cards for Atop the Fourth Wall occasionally do this, though not as often as you might think, considering that some of the comics Linkara has reviewed have featured this trope on their covers. Two cases in particular mirror each other, though - the cards for Youngblood (Image Comics) #3 and Doctor Who Classics #7 mirror each other, being back-to-back storyline episodes, with Linkara and Lord Vyce facing each other with crossed arms, on opposite sides. Shaft and the Fifth Doctor's presence in each is incidental (and basically only to tie the cards in to the content actually being reviewed, of course).

A lot of posters for Professional Wrestling pay per views feature this trope. For a classic example, see the poster◊ for WrestleMania III.

The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie has a poster like this, with Harry and the good guys on one side, and Voldemort and his Death Eaters on the other, charging. Which is especially funny, considering magic can't generally be considered a close-contact type of attack.

In Planetes, the secondary characters are presented like this, first a group on the left side and then another on the right side, their positions expanding outwards in an accordion-like fashion. It's interesting because both groups have friendly, or at least neutral but supportive characters, but those in the first group tend towards a more antagonistic streak —and, due to the nature of the Evolving Credits, some members of this first group will eventually shift into the uniforms belonging to their Heel–Face Turn status.

Pibby: Near the end of the trailer, there's a shot depicting Pibby leading an army of uncorrupted cartoon characters against the Eldritch Abomination antagonist, each at opposite ends of the screen. (Driving the dichotomy home, the heroes have a moon on their side while the antagonist has a sun.)

One Piece:
The manga does an interesting take on this. The cover for volume 21, "Utopia", has the remainder of the Baroque Works' agents (Mr. 0/Crocodile, Miss All Sunday/Nico Robin, Mr. 1/Daz Bones, Miss Doublefinger, Mr. 2/Bon Clay, Mr. 4, and Miss Merry Christmas) lined up and looking right, and volume 22, "Hope!", has the Straw Hats and allies (Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Vivi, Karoo, and Eyelashes) the same way, looking left. When the two covers are combined, (21-22) the result is a Mirrored Confrontation Shot. Later on in the anime, this same shot was used when Ivankov talks about the Alabasta incident to Bon Clay.
The cover art for the DVD version of Episode 0 does a more classic version, between Luffy and Shiki.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Promotional art for Sonic CD depicts the conflict between Sonic and Metal Sonic in this manner. The game's Japanese cover also features this shot, with the EU version using a zoomed-in variant. The American box art opts for a different scene entirely. Curiously, the CD-ROM release in Japan instead goes with a group shot while it's the European version that showcases the Blue Blur versus his robotic doppelganger.
This promotional poster◊ for Sonic Forces, shows the Resistance and against the Eggman Empire.

Moses and Pharaoh Rameses during the song "The Plagues" from The Prince of Egypt. The sequence is done rather symbolically. During the song, both Moses and Rameses sing about how they saw each other as brothers and how none of them wanted the plagues to happen. Near the end of the song, their faces do a Juxtaposed Halves Shot. Then their faces rotate apart so that they are facing each other, signifying that whatever bond they had is now permanently broken.

The Avengers are fond of this. In their first 200 issues, they used it for the cover of #s 15,◊ 53,◊ 70,◊ 130◊ and 141.◊ In later years, it was usually used as an homage to the early covers, including X-Statix #21,◊ which started a Let's You and Him Fight storyline with the Avengers.
In fact, if any comic cover features two teams facing off/charging at each other across an otherwise blank scene, the artist's probably thinking of Avengers #s 130 and 141. That includes the Marvel/DC and Titans covers above

Pokémon: The Series
A recurring occurence during matches, where the scene will cut to a view showing a shot (like this one◊) with both Trainers facing and glaring at each other.
The first opening theme for Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl features Ash and The Rival Paul with their respective teams; before the opening changed to reflect the events of future episodes, it is symmetrical (in a sense): they both have a Flying-type, an Electric-type, and a primate-based Pokémon.

The PSP theme for Dissidia Final Fantasy (and presumably the box-art) uses this, with all the heroes on the right, villains on the left. (Link.◊)
The box-art is a little different: The standard side is all the characters from the Cosmos side facing left. Removing the box-art and flipping it over displays all the characters from the Chaos side facing right. Even the screenshots are mirrored: the Cosmos side shows Cloud preparing to strike, the Chaos side shows Sephiroth preparing to strike.
