I realize this is a hard one to illustrate, but the image is basically just a "Super Sentai" Stance. Is it even possible to show this trope in a single image?

If someone can do up a diagram showing how one of these attacks works, that would work best.

"Attack patterns are a convenient way of saying, 'The good guys attack the bad guys and they know what they're doing,' without going into any detail whatsoever."

This is something character say more than it is something that characters do, so illustrating it with a picture is going to be tough.

Is there one from a comic book with a speech bubble with the command in it? That would illustrated it.

Otherwise, I think we should remove this. It's more than just not illustrating, it's misleading.

^^ Agree, worse than nothing.

Motion to pull

Misleading, not the trope.

Motion to replace

For example, this.

The clock's up, and since the consensus is that the pic is misleading, I went ahead and pulled it. With no consensus on a replacement, let's lock up and move on.
