I dragged and dropped the image into Google Image search. Says she's Luna Himeki from Vanguard Princess. PC fighting game made entirely by one former Capcom employee.

I always found it strange how Robert's necklace swayed in the same direction as his body motion. It should be reversed.
Hahahaha! Ssssssnap!I don't know....
Yamazaki looks like he's giving someone a handjob but then...
"Enjoying yourself?....WELL NOT ANYMORE!"
Goofy as hell, but I always found Hugo's wobblyness quite endearing. He's just a big silly wrestler and he wants a cuddle! By no means the dumbest after seeing the rest of this thread.contributing

Its not a battle stance, its blatant fanservice to the moe/loli base.

I thought it was snapping back and forth a half-second after he pushes off the ground, like a whip or fly fishing snap.

Surprised it's so many people's first time seeing Zappa...
And my contribution, Dandy J:
Is he suppose to be the inflatable man? Does he bounce like a balloon?

It's a (phenomenal) comedy game, so, yes, the physics are comical. His assistants:
Mentioning that game reminds me of a great pick for odd fighting stances:

Huh, I expected at least one Arcana Heart mention in this thread. Better remedy that with some Eko.

OK, NON of the GIFs, stances or characters mentioned have stupid battle stances (except MAYBE the MK cast), this really must be a stealth 'awesome stances in fighting games' thread. Really I see nothing wrong with those stances.
...and those complaining about Duo Lon's stance: In XIII, the hand standing out looks like a snake.
Uh Magneto's arms ALWAYS animated like that since X-Men CotA, you rarely ever see it tho since Mags is moving all the time lol.
Freeman can be deadly in the right hands.
Uh that's been her stance since KoF. Ever seen her stance in the Real Bout games tho?
His design is based off MC Hammer-
That is so swag.
Terry's stances in most games are like that, but IMO, his best stance is from Garou.
His CvSNK 2 stance is just a sped up ver. of this. In fact the only reason I can understand anyone not liking this stance is because of how slow it animates.
Why you gotta link to the lamtest Kabuki fighting stance ever?
Where is her mouth?
Somebody link that KoF MI Ash artwork that shows his sweet ass.
Never noticed his muscles pumping up like that.

I've always found Morrigan's fighting stance to be pretty strange:
What's she even doing with her hands?
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Magneto's MvC2 stance:
Simply god tier.
Uh Magneto's arms ALWAYS animated like that since X-Men CotA, you rarely ever see it tho since Mags is moving all the time lol.
Freeman, Garou's least memorable character.

Hi guys remember me?
That is so swag.
Just proves that SNK really put much thought in their early sprite work.
I really hate Terry's KoFXII/XIII's sprite.
It's like he's jugging.

I can remember playing Samurai Showdown on the SNES and thinking:
Sword & Garb - Cool
Hopping up and down - WTF

Huh? Leona looks tougher than she ever did. How is this "moe"?
Where is her mouth?
all man

Do you have any examples of stupid battle stances then? Or are you saying the history of gaming doesn't know of such a thing?
Another one:
Platinum the Trinity, Rachel Alucard and Litchi from Blaz Blue Continuum Shift Extend
Lol at how serious most of the character's defense is with the stances being posted in this thread. Guard? What guard? Completely chilling is the new defense.
Some of these are surprisingly cute. I havent played a lot of fighting games, but I do like seeing the interesting/crazy stances.
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Hahaha, what the heck?

I think 99% of women in fighting games don't wear bras.
Yes, but in this case, she started out with one and subsequently lost it.
Also, suggestive button placement.

That sprite is edited.
I dunno. I think the crouched over, pouncing look works since she's supposed to be part cat.
Because it is liike .... the point of the thread ? =P

Oh I love his Garou stance. I just really dislike the KoF XIII one.

Where is this from..love it.
That's Ochamaru from Samurai Shodown 6.
Yup, I wanna keep that in mind too, but it just looks so off-balance! I think I dislike the knock-knee'd portion of it the most. The idea of a pounce is sound, but the actual execution looks more on the side of "observing", rather than "combatitive", if that makes sense.
Oh, and on the "Terry in XII-onwards" front... I like more muscular Terry, seperates he and Andy from the normal skinny-boys of KoF like Kyo and Iori. Makes them look more like career fighters, rather than the "gifted youth" that is the KoF standard.
Also, I always thought Terry looked pretty build in the Real Bout games.
I can see how his new stance is a bit awkward, but it always has a hype "OK! Rhets GO!" Type feel to it, that fits Terry to a tee. Like a street-taught version of a boxing stance.
Boss Doggie

Oh I don't mind the buffness (and pretty much prefer that look save for superroiders from team Ikari), it's the stance that really feels awkward.
Makes me wonder how some of the cast would be translated - like the other moe girl Hanako.

I hate that the series is more well-known than my favorite, set in a later period, but there's no denying that Samurai Spirits has the coolest variety of characters in any series.

1 of my all-time favorites was also introduced in that game. http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Andrew I'm pretty sure his stance would leave him instantly killed, though.

Later period.. Last Blade?
If so, i agree; though Samurai Spirits is so deliciously off the wall with designs and origin stories,i've definitely enjoyed the gameplay and aesthetic of Last Blade more so..
