** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' Flashes a portrait of the person

* ''VideoGame/KisekiSeries''

* The ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' games do this whenever the protagonist points out a contradiction.
** In ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2'', the other classmates can sometimes cut Hajime off when he's in the middle of laying out his analysis in the same effect. The game lampshaded the surprise of seeing Mahiru's interruption after spending the entire first game without any of such thing.

** The UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' gives all the main characters new Mystic Artes, and just to show how awesome and powerful they are, the accompanying new {{Super Move Portrait Attack}}s are ''animated''. (Because nothing quite says "power" like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zy8LUZ1kzM boobie bounce]].)

** ''Ultimate'' adds a small portrait of the character to the corner of the screen when they use their Final Smash.

* ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'' shows a portrait of the CO whenever they use their CO-Power.

* ''[[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona]]'':

* The 3DS ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' games (''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Echoes]]'') along with ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes Heroes]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Three Houses]]'' all pull this when characters execute special skills or critical hits, complete with a PreAssKickingOneLiner.

** ''Ultimate'' also has [[Persona5 Joker]] doing this when his Rebellion Gauge is full, summoning Arsene and powering up his attacks and abilities.

** ''VideoGame/NarutoShippuddenUltimateNinjaStorm3'', you get a scene from the anime and a PreAsskickingOneLiner when finishing an opponent with an ultimate.
* ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match]]'' did this with the character's MAX2 supers.

* If it's been a Creator/{{Koei}} hack and slash franchise, it's used this trope. They seem to favor extreme close ups over still portraits, but that's mostly dependent on the franchise. Almost all of the ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' and ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' games have used extreme close ups of the character model, often from multiple dramatic angles.

* The 3DS ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' games (''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Echoes]]'') all pull this when characters execute special skills or critical hits, complete with a PreAssKickingOneLiner.

* Two games in in the ''Franchise/{{Lunar}}'' series use this trope, both of them remakes of ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'' but released nearly a decade apart. ''Lunar Legend'' was the first game in the series to use a LimitBreak mechanic, and years later, ''Silver Star Harmony'' added a similar system to the framework of ''Silver Star Story''. The additional moves make the first half of the game rather easy, since Luna's move restores all health and magic.

* Spell card declarations in ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}''

* In the ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' series, this trope serves a practical purpose, warning the player if an enemy character is targeting them with an Ultimate Attack so they can try to defend against it. If the player uses an Ultimate, they get the traditional 3D fighter-style closeup instead.

* The ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' series shows a brief cut-in of a character's face whenever they perform an ultimate attack.

* Both ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'' pull this when characters execute special skills or critical hits, complete with a PreAssKickingOneLiner.

** In ''VideoGame/SuperDanganRonpa2'', the other classmates can sometimes cut Hajime off when he's in the middle of laying out his analysis in the same effect. The game lampshaded the surprise of seeing Mahiru's interruption after spending the entire first game without any of such thing.

* Both ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'' pull this when characters execute special skills or critical hits.
