I don't know how something like this ever made it into a AAA game. Especially since it's an animation that you're going to see a lot in the game. How did no one notice how poorly animated that was?

You mean like her nose or something? People don't usually have their eyes looking like that unless they're focusing their eyes on something extremely close, so it looks weird viewing it from afar.
Also, the second picture makes it look like she's about to burst, instead of gracefully using her float ability.
Peach has definitely been rendered better, for example:

Is...is he doing the John Cena "You can't see me" pose?
I think you mean to ask if John Cena is trying to do the Caesar pose.

This just proves how much edgier he is than Mario.

I loved femshep in a dress walking like the most casual thing and looking like a total social recluse without any sort of fashion sense.

I don't like Sonic, but that's an awesome pose.

Yeah, probably. lol
I get some of their poses are based on ancient japanese drawings, though. Explains a lot of the unusual postural forms.
A lot of their poses are poses done by models in real life.

Samus' run animation in Smash 4 is really awkward and bad looking. I think it's Other M's speed booster, which would explain why it looks so robotic and weird.
Ever look at the way a character poses or animates and think "why the hell did they make him/her act like this?" Some examples:
WTF? Plus she flails her arms around wildly when she runs. I guess they thought it looked cute but mostly she just looks stupid and annoying.
Also lots of anime-style games do this:
Why are their arms sticking out at a 30 degree angle all the time? I guess it's some combination of not wanting them to clip through their outfits and, again, trying to look cute. It mostly just reminds me of this:
Any examples you'd like to add to the hall of shame?
I don't mind that first pose at all. If you've got it, flaunt it.
I gotta agree OP, Vanille's run is so stupid looking. Unfortunately it's a common thing with some Japanese female characters and their "cutesy" ways >_>
Although this?
Luigi stands tall, what do you mean? ;P

Not her nose, but something below her, like she's really high up and taking a plunge, or something..
Though I know what you're saying.
Not big on the Smash Bros version, but that first one you posted is good.
There were just so many years where she looked like this:
At least the Mario 3D World ones show her eyes as being active. You can see that a lot in the other character renders and other shots of her. Must have been a focus.

Some of the Mortal Kombat stances are laughable.
The Siphon Filter protag runs like he just shit his pants.

Duo Lon's stance looks rather awkward, to say the least.
well, how would you stand if you had a giant leg

Wow that Halo 5 cele is atrocious.
I can't find any pictures of this, but Tidus and Vaan in FFX and FFXII respectively both have this stupid animation where they lean back on one leg and put their hands on the back of their heads, elbows out. I hate it.
Oh also, Tidus has a waving hand gesture, like he's elaborating something, that loops and loops and looks so stupid.

It's cause they only implemented a male skeletal animation rig into the game. This is why Ubisoft said they couldn't do female characters. It's almost double the work (relative to the sub-component) and they have to plan out that they are doing it. It's basically a way to curtail costs buy just never implementing it.

LOL I know the exact one you're talking about. There was some dialog scene where that animation keeps looping until you advance the dialog. I left it there and let him do this stupid animation over and over.
I know these are cheating but lol.

I love that animation. I hope there is more than one though, or maybe an animation of the losing team crying and consoling each other.

Ya, that one always bugged me.
It's like Microsoft's marketing department, unable to do so naturally, tried to come up with a mathematical formula for looking cool and casual.

OP said stupid. Regardless of the context that's a really good animation. Seeing the old Mass Effect animations makes me excited for ME4, which iirc is next gen only.Halo 5 Brofist - the thread

I see Halo 5 has already been mentioned.
In The Last Remnant there's a race called Yama. They look like this:
In battle, they constantly move their tail.... why? I suppose they use them for balance, but it just looks like they're sweeping the floor.
