what is this pose supposed to convey?

...

That the character is ready for anything and isn't afraid.

Several are taking a stance to face the opponent in front of them.
One is reaching for something in front of him
Two are calling someone out in front of them.

What they are doing is extremely clear. Is it just the "camera" looking at them from the front that somehow perplexes you?

Nothing, calm your autism

"pass me the controller, bro"

...

...

dubs, of course
