That one looks more like an example of That One Level.

May I suggest "*trip* SAKURAAAIII!!"?

I don't think the suggestion is an improvement.

Also, you need to use Wiki Words for the article title otherwise the link won't work. I fixed it.

I don't get it.

In SSBM, all characters have a small chance of tripping for no apparent reason whenever they try to run. It's completely random and frequently very frustrating. Sakurai is the game's director and designer.

That comic as a whole is nicely indicative, but it looks a bit too wide and I'm not sure how much sense a two-panel version would make. In addition, the current Mega Man image is the same basic gag if you recognize the mechanic being referenced, and I can't really decide which is a better rendition of it.

If you haven't played Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you won't have any clue what the suggested picture means. The picture being used right now ledges more on Scrappy Level than Scrappy Mechanic, but I'd keep it until there's a better suggestion.

I don't consider the current MM image all that great (not enough indication that the second panel is after several hours of attempts to cross the platforms, and not just "several hours"), though it's definitely not a JAFAAC like the previous spiny-shell image of yore was.

The current isn't great but is much more clear than the suggestion.

Hey what happened to those Entei pictures we had last time we talked about this? I thought those were good.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I searched the entries but I couldn't find an example mentioning the Mega Man disappearing blocks shown in the trope image. Seems rather odd.

It's difficult to place an image for a page like this. I was thinking maybe Endless Frontier's FORCED EVASION could work, if anyone had a screenshot of that. If not, one of "Command failed, Dagger can't concentrate" would also work well, in my opinion, but getting these screenshots would be difficult as no one is going to emulate them just for the purpose of doing so.
