I can't remember what video game this is. I'm pretty sure it's the kind of game where you have some sort of super meter you expend to perform special moves. One character has some kind of super prostration move; it expends the energy meter (if this game has such a thing), then the character does an extremely elaborate prostration animation, that can't be interrupted, does no damage, and leaves you completely vulnerable. The very definition of a joke move. I think it's probably a game made in Japan.
(If you're unfamiliar with it, prostration, in this instance, is submissively bowing down in deference.)
