villain pose

Feet together, legs together, perfectly straight, arms folded, pelvis out and forward. An arrogant, disdainful posture used commonly by villains or villainous characters as they sneer down at their opposition. If a character is capable of hovering or floating in midair, they will often do so and have their feet pointed straight at the ground.

In Japan, the image of M. Bison (known as Vega in Japanese) from Street Fighter wearing this stance is deeply rooted, so it is called "Vega Dachi (M. Bison's stance)".
