As the title says, the image, which is of Sephiroth about to use Super Nova in FF7 was removed quite a while ago. Should it be put back, or should we look for a good alternative?

Since the whole point is that it's too long, I vote for no picture. I don't see how to illustrate a fight animation that lasts too long.

Voting JAFAAC on the old one. We could use a montage to illustrate it, I suppose, but it would probably be too long. Leaning towards not-picturable...

Could we have one page where the image is ludicrously long, more than everything else?

...Nahhhhh.

Hmm... I remember an 8-Bit Theater comic with this, so maybe a panel of that might work?

[up]It's the page quote. I don't think that will work too well.

@ Eric: we've got something like that on Star Scraper.

Eh, voting not picturable based on time requirement.

I though it had someone activating a move so they could go get a sandwich?

Please.

One way that we could do this is like the pic on Leave the Camera Running, where we have three or four static pics of the animation with timers in the corner showing at what point in the animation the pic was taken.

It strikes me that this is very well picturable with a montage.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Iris. Eden wouldn't be a bad choice, either.

How about Knights of the Round from Final Fantasy VII? We don't have to make it too big, just clearly over a dozen small pictures each showing the different knights attacking, and the caption assuring us that it's all on the same summon.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I vote imageless. This is an unpictureable trope! Now, if it were a GIF...

Bull. You can do it with a bunch of frames showing the major parts.

[up] Right, the same way I did Leave the Camera Running's pic...although Real Life is gonna make my being able to do much in here very limited for the next week or so, so someone else is probably gonna have to take charge on this.
