Yeah, shouldn't the pic itself demonstrate the trope? Like with a girl who has large chest (no delicate way to put that) beating up a more normally proportioned girl?

Yeah, this is pretty much JAFAAC (or should I say, J3FAAC). No indication that the chick with the big breasts in the strongest. Motion to pull.

"Like with a girl who has large chest (no delicate way to put that) beating up a more normally proportioned girl?"

It's not that bigger breasts mean she's stronger. It's that bigger breasts means she's the brawler of the group.

But you're right that this should at least be paired with a self demonstrating picture. Looking into that.

[up] Actually, and I quote the page text "The tendency for the strongest physical female fighter in a group or cast to also have the largest breasts." So my example, while not perfect, actually does fit the trope.

[up]But the fighting would make it hard to see who has the larger bust anyway.

This is a preliminary tweak to the current picture.

Can we get larger crops of the three small pictures, because it looks like the two on the ends both have weapons, while the one in the middle a) doesn't and b) has her hands taped or gloved like a boxer. That could be enough to indicate that she's the one who will go for fisticuffs.

[up]Whether or not the character fights with Good Old Fisticuffs isn't what the trope is about.

Which is why I didn't link to Good Old Fisticuffs.

"The brawler will have the biggest breasts" is what the trope is. If she doesn't carry a weapon, and the other girls do, that's a good indication that she's primarily a brawler and they aren't.

Well full versions of those pictures shouldn't be hard to find. Those are the official art for those Final Fantasy VII girls. The one I added is a fan art, but still shows her being a brawler, so hopefully that works as it is.

[up][up][up]Just because they don't carry a weapon doesn't necessarily indicate that they fight with their fists (or fight physically in general).

old discussion

If someone can find something better, that'd be great. This image is not worth pulling without a replacement, though.

I don't like the tweak. It's pretty abrupt, and I don't think the bottom frame adds much.

I've never been a big fan of this image. I only know Tifa is a brawler because the page tells me so. As someone who's never played FF 7 this kind of is just three broads and a caption. I'll see what I can do to find a better one.

A pic of Mikiri fighting from Change 123 would be great for this.

Change 123.... Unsure how to present that in a picture while she does have the biggest breasts out of the three personalities (so much so she breaks bras when she switches.) and she is the Genki Girl fight anything type, the other two are just as strong, (maybe) the other female fighters are not as big and all get beaten by one of the three personalities.

Maybe we can use that panel where she says the fat provides padding (when talking to that kid fighter angsting over growing a pair and losing fighting ability.)

Actually, even without the dialogue the second and last panel together is pretty solid.

The bigger picture of the original lets you see the girl in the middle's boxing glove. -> [1]

I think a bigger crop of the current would suffice.

I just tossed all the potential panels together.. Second and last panel IMO works well

Works better, but it's still quite vertical. Maybe if you cropped most of the upper half of the bottom picture?

[up] I like it! I meant to say second and last actually (not third and last). It may not be perfect, but it's really good and loads better than the current one.
