To at least start brainstorming:

[1] - You got your Bullet Hell in my Fighting Game.

[up]Quality issues aside, I don't think it works since it requires you to know that the Bullet Hell is:

  • Not the character's usual attack move
  • Significantly stronger than their usual attack move

Which is not illustrated in the image

I'm not sure if it's possible to illustrate this trope without a montage or something. I think an enemy in an RPG would work better than one from a fighting game in this case.

Maybe a collage of the Demi-Fiend's attacks in his fight in Digital Devil Saga leading up to Gaea Rage?

On the other hand, showing a screenshot of the damage numbers from an attack.

Qada the Salve-Maker, from Bravely Default, has a move called Dark Breathe that deals unavoidable damage equal to his HP lost. It can do 9999 damage, unavoidably, only a third of the way through the battle. Possibly a screenshot of a character getting hit (and K.O.'d) by an attack like that would work?

How about the only standby? Hadoken!

It looks scary in this shot.

It is what it is.

How about Zomboss' Winnebago?

The screenshot shows it crushing at least four plants, which I think is a pretty decent illustration.

I like 5 best, especially since it's not clear to me that 6 is supposed to be a hateworthy attack.

A Super Hadouken... isn't really an example.

But it gave me an idea... Galactus from Marvel Vs Capcom 3.

[up]That works quite well, especially with that DANGER! warning

[up] I was going to suggest Galactus as well, but I couldn't find any high-def pictures of that attack.

That attack is literally unavoidable.

Oh no. I hate that fight with Galactus. It makes me realize just how much I really and truly suck at 2D fighters.

Stinking Galactus. >:(

Also, I like that example, by the way. [tup]

[up]Pity that we can now barely see the character under attack

[up] What if we crop and scale it like this instead?

Here's my attempt. Not as cropped as [up], but I felt it doesn't hurt to show that the beams are coming from his fingers. That said, Captain America's character icon is still visible on his health bar, so people can still make him out.

[up] That's the best one so far.

I see lights, a level bar, and "Danger!". Not sure what anything else is.

[up]Okay. I took DRCEQ's idea of cropping it and stuff, and made a couple edits:

I tried to heighten the saturation of Cap's suit a little so you can see him. Maybe that paired with the crop will make it better.

I found this attack too. It makes people sad, apparently. It also appears that the fight lasted only 2 seconds, but that can't be right...

That certainly looks like a contender.
