comment
A visual trope that usually only appears on a single panel or frame before an actual fight starts. It will features characters on two or more sides in static positions that can easily be reused for future splashes. They will be profile shots, usually of the upper body but sometimes showing the entire body instead.
Somewhere on this splash will be the word "vs." or "versus." Sometimes "and" will be used to indicate team-ups. While these are secondary to the actual image, the presence of these small words is still a hallmark of the trope. Sometimes, a voice will announce the confrontation as well, and if so, expect the announcer to be a Large Ham.
While serviceable and almost unnoticeable on its own (except on computers where elaborate splash screens may aggravate already lengthy stage loading times), this trope makes for great parody fodder and self-one-upsmanship in that viewers are trained to expect awesome fight scenes whenever they see one. Thus, overusing this trope can easily crank up the viewer's excitement in a short period of time.
A stock Battle Intro. Compare Juxtaposed Halves Shot (where half of two characters sides/faces are juxtaposed to or beside each other), Mirrored Confrontation Shot (a similar but conflict-exclusive trope), and Super Move Portrait Attack.

In Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream Episode 19, the blimp at the tea robot competition displays "VS." splashes on its screen for the students competing against each other, with one showing Mametchi and Nandetchi and one depicting Himespetchi and Hoshigirltchi.

The game's predecessor, Guilty Gear, did something similar in the XX series, but with closeups of the portraits instead of the posing sprites. The other games opt for a more traditional versus splash incorporating each fighter's in-game artwork.

Professional Wrestling usually introduces this with a "this is why they're fighting" montage. Also played completely straight when Darts and Snooker get this treatment, mainly used to introduce highlights of a match. Here are but two examples.
Posters announcing a wrestling event are often designed that way as well, with the main event taking up the biggest part of the page. Note that this is mostly done by smaller federations, as these days, big feds use more movie-style posters focusing on either one particular wrestler, or several who are't involved in the same matches.

Happens often against tough opponents in the Pokémon series. It started out with Pokémon Stadium, then downshifted into the main series games, starting with the Elite Four and Champion in the third generation. It's now a common aspect of plot-significant fights, to the point where (beginning with Pokémon Platinum) certain sprites are now made specifically for such "versus" screenshots, usually in a mugshot pose such as this one◊ (which features Sinnoh's first Gym Leader, Roark).

Used liberally in Eyeshield 21, most often during football matches, though they appear in other places for epic effect, most notably an early story that begins with with Sena AND Shin VS motorcycles. The motorcycles lose.

Guacamelee! precedes each boss fight with one of these, set up like Lucha Libre advertisement posters.◊

One appears in Happy Heroes Season 8 Episode 33 when the Supermen are about to fight Huo Haha and his group of dark wizards in a civilized manner (read: pretend to use their violent attacks without inflicting actual pain on each other since it's Peace Day).

The Super Smash Bros. series has this with a voiceover guy who says "Versus!" before each match in Classic Mode. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features a proper versus screen when loading a match.
