This is tropable, though I think only examples of ''playable characters'' should be listed. This is because, yes, almost all mooks do this in all mediums. For example, watch ninjas swarm a guy in Kung Fu films and see them shout, draw sword, or otherwise warm with each attack!

''Playable examples''
* Nes in SuperSmashBrothers has an instant kill attack. Your warning is when he winds up the bat and the bat starts to flash.
** Jigglypuff does this as well. First she will put you to sleep and then she will get really, really close. This is your cue to wake up and run or die!

* OneMustFall gives polite warnings before very powerful attacks.
** Jaguar's leap attack has the mech coil back as if about to pounce.
** Shadow blinks and holds still before spawning copies of itself
** Thorn will sprout spines before shooting them at you
** Pyros Holds still and must charge up the flamethrower
** Electra adverts this: none of her attacks have warning, but they all are fairly weak in comparison to the other mechs.
** Katana Raises his sword and moves his head as if shouting a battle cry
** Shredder braces himself before unleashing the magnets
** Flail Will stop and swing the flair in circles
** Gargoyle Pauses and unsheathes claws before dive-bombing
** Chronos will pause and blink. A fast blink means "teleport" while a longer, slow blink means "Time Stop"
