I just launched Video Games from YKTTW as a hub page for videogames like Anime. A poster in YKTTW suggested to use an image from Super Smash Bros. since that game is a large crossover that uses characters from various games. I did agree (also because Western Animation uses a similar multi-characters page) but most images I can find have busy-ness issues. The best one I could find is here - any other ideas?

[up]Your third suggestion is decent. The second is busy to the point where you can't actually see anything, and the first is just bad. I personally like 2.3 better than 1.1, mostly because of concerns about how 1.1 will look at wiki size.

I was thinking this montage, although you'd need to focus on a specific section of it (because doing the whole image would be hilariously busy - same problem as 2.2). Probably the lower-left or right?

I like 2.3. Not too crowded, and a decent variety of characters.

2.3 is good.

Gonna have to reserve judgment myself on any of these images on grounds of a poor internet connection.

2.3 is the best suggestion so far

It's good for the page, but I'm a little bothered by the placement of Link's foot.

I like Shadow Hog's suggestion, nice variety of classic video game characters and its colorful.

[up]It probably won't be legible in wiki size though, considering how crowded it is.

And I think we should have enough votes for 2.3? (We have: Completely Normal Guy, Another Duck, tdgoodrich1, Septimus Heap, me, Willbyr, Rethkir, bitemytail and maybe doubleyouteeeff - 9 people).

I didn't actually vote for 2.3 - my internet is too slow to load offsite images in reasonable time and thus I can't look at it.

OK, then. Vote for 11 there.

That's plenty of votes; up and tagged. I'm fine without a caption but if people have suggestions I'm not opposed.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Well, wouldn't hurt to name the characters at least: Sonic the Hedgehog, Gordon Freeman, Samus Aran, Master Chief, Solid Snake, Mario, Link, Yuna

I can tell exactly two characters there and only thanks to a lot of on-site popcultural osmosis. So I would suggest to source the characters - we have done it elsewhere too, by the way.

Definitely source the characters; not everyone's familiar with all the characters, as [up] has already proved.

I've put up that sourcing caption, but left the tag as it was (since consensus, while there, is fairly weak).
