Hi
The last version is great.
Hammer of the Pervs
I also support the last version. Caption could probably be better, but it definitely should say "could have," since "could of" is just a common misspelling of "could've."

It was just a quick idea on the caption... if ya got better ideas say it, I really suck at these.

Or maybe "Buxom Is Better — even in a fight."

That images still just shows our biggest form of misuse. It doesn't show "Biggest breasts, strongest girl" it just shows "Big breasts, strong girl." That's not the trope. That's how the trope is misused.

So we need an image showing multiple girls.
Hi
Dammit...I'm not sure if Motoko counts anymore then, because all three of her fighting personalities are asskickers, just in different ways.

She herself has the biggest breasts out of all of them and she beats all of them too just one of them makes them slightly bigger... the one where her breasts shrink is an expert in weaponry like swords and guns.
Still think you are limiting the trope far far too much though the image IMO is perfect. (hell even Tifa is not an example limiting it to that.)

I agree with Raso
The page itself and the TRS topic on it limited it to that. I don't know FFVII well enough to know if Tifa is an example based on that or not, but that is the trope. Biggest breasts, strongest girl.
The laconic is:
Your image does not show that. Your image just shows a fighter with large breasts.

ahh yeah, that's right. I remember having Boobs Of Steel removed from the Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex character page a while back because the trope can't apply if there's only one female character, and in this case, only one female character present.
I see the Awesomeness.
Well, there was the president in the second season, but I don't think she counts as a main character.
Fight smart, not fair.
I prefer the tweak to the current image.
Hammer of the Pervs
She also had breasts at least as large as Motoko's.
I still think the proposed new image works fine, but I'm usually one of the least picky as far as images go. I mean, if I can figure it out and I like it that's good enough for me, I don't necessarily worry all that much about being exactly a fit. That's just me though.

The Final ECW Champion
Just A Face And Caption? That's not what I'm looking at. The girl on the left has a stick and the girl on the right has a hammer. The girl in the middle has boxing gloves, implying she fights directly. She also has the biggest boobs, well boobs of steel isn't entirely indicative a title but seeing that its about Big Boobs=Better Hitter and I see the one with the big boobs is the only one not carrying a weapon the trope is adequately explained.
It didn't take me that long to get honestly. I like it better than the supposed "improvement" because its subtle. Image Links can take the others.

So are we not gonna change this one then?

The Other Troper
Or we'll compile a few more suggestions and make a crowner.
We haven't had any suggestions that show the actual trope though.

So far I've seen two suggestions. The first was not better than the current, and the second was misleading.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!
The current pic isn't perfect, but it does illustrate the trope well enough. Even if Cider got the picture wrong (girl on the right, Yuffie, doesn't wield a hammer, but a giant shuriken), he still got the trope.
The girls are a Staff Chick, a Bare-Fisted Monk, and a Ninja. Their appearance reflects as much. It's not hard to draw which one is the strongest from that group, assuming it's not a subversion.
A better pic of the same would be preferable, but a comparison between several girls far outweighs a single girl who is a good example.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.
A pocketful of saudade.
The current image just needs a couple of tweaks I think. Maybe some information about their fighting styles.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.I think showing their weapons is enough, as it implies fighting style.

Agree, it would be improved by zooming out a little so we see that her hands are empty. Anyone have that source?
Found one.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
I think it works.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
