Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Stock Pose that is characterized by the sticking out of the pelvis as far as is possible within the realms of believability.
If the character is supposed to be a Badass, they will have certain characteristics accentuated by the pose. Some of them may include any of the following: a cool demeanor, aggression, street smarts, maturity, sexiness or flirtatiousness, skill, especially in fighting, stylishness, flashiness, and self-confidence. A character who does this pose is often The Fighting Narcissist, an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy, or The Prima Donna.
The pose is often accentuated to show a character who holds his or her legs apart is often more hot-headed or brash. A character who holds his or her legs straight and together is most likely a person of authority, poshness, or intelligence.
This pose is also employed by characters who are glamorous or elegant, as a way of showing they are vain or enjoy showing off their frame as much as possible. Expect this trope to be paired with Coat Over the Shoulder.

In The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will's character does this fairly often to flaunt his status as a braggadocious showoff. He can be described as a cool character, being street-smart, good with the ladies, a rapper, and friends with DJ Jazzy Jeff.

In Samurai Shodown, Ukyo does this pose occasionally◊. He is shown to be chased by fangirls during win poses, and is shown to be a classic Japanese romantic; he writes haiku after fighting.

In Guilty Gear, lots of characters stand this way, mostly aloof male characters, like Sol Badguy, Izuna, Eddie◊, Testament◊ and Chipp (a wise-cracking American who thinks very highly of himself despite the fact that most of his speech is silly Japanese words).

In Persona 3, the main character often stands like this, especially when he is walking to school in the morning. Not many other characters seem to stand this way. His personality, regardless of choices, comes off as being aloof or disinterested.

Metal Gear Solid
Raiden stands like this all the time, in all of the games he's been in- Revengeance◊, Guns of the Patriots◊ and Sons of Liberty to name a few. His character also Took a Level in Badass over the course of the series.
Vamp also uses this trope. His inclination for this pose probably stems from the fact that he's very provocative, keeps his knife right in front of his package, and likes licking Raiden's white blood off of it on occasion.

In Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Jacky manages to do every variation of this pose there is in his win poses. He is pretty flashy in-game, especially his moves, and also drives a race car.

In Blackadder The Third, Blackadder hires a couple of actors to train Prince George in public speaking. Their advice includes posing "heroically," which Blackadder likens to saying, "Here are my genitals, please kick them."

In YuYu Hakusho, the entirety of Team Urameshi sans Kurama often stand this way. Hiei in particular stands with his feet apart, as he is more brash and blunt. Kuwabara and Yusuke, who also stand with their feet apart, are both typical tough guys who do a lot of street fighting. Kurama who is known for his intelligence and tactics in contrast stands with feet together.
