---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What are "pose points"? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pose points" as they are referred to in this guide are points awarded to a player after a victory. The number of points awarded is shown when the player's character is frozen in a frame of animation as the background changes before the win quote is displayed.
The number of points awarded is based on the frame the character is frozen in at the end of the fight, NOT on whether or not you hit your fallen opponent (unless it affects how the frame looks). There are different ways to get same poses for some; ect, Zangief's grinning pose can be done either through doing his taunt or doing either of his conversions (b,d,db + Short). Also, from what I have observed, the secret characters have the same pose points as their counterpart as long as they have that frame of animation. Since all the secret characters, except for Roll, are just pallet swaps, they'll be listed under their counterpart with the assumption that they have the same poses for the same moves. There are still some unknowns involved, however (like why you don't get points for Zangief's Flying Body Press every time).
In order to receive pose points, one must push the start button and perform some action producing some nice frame of animation to be frozen at the end of the fight. There are no pose points for normal victory stances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pose Point Tips ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take this with a grain of salt; my timing is terrible :) .
The timing for freeze at the end of a fight begins when the point totals counting up. At that point you have about 1.3 to 1.4 (?) seconds before the freeze comes. If you had a perfect, the time is much less, maybe about 0.5 second.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this FAQ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I only include poses which I have heard of or which I have confirmed. I would like to include only poses I can confirm, but I have not had the time to go through all of them. Not all of the poses may be right in their points value. Also, I would be glad to hear about poses not listed in this guide. Drop me an e-mail if you know of any or have anything to add to one. =)
Of those poses which I include, I list as much detail about them as I can remember or that I know about. I also included my source for the pose as followed:
(E) Eviltar: The original author of this. These were the ones found in the previous version of this guide.
(G) Gerald "Yagyu" Joubert: Many of the poses that gave more points are from him. Thanks for all the help you have been in providing these.
(U) Jamie "Ultima" Stoute: A few of the poses found here are from an agsf2 post by him.
(R) Robert Iu: These are the few that I have manage to find on my own.
