The picture does not show of the trope very well, and will mean nothing to anyone who hasn't played Street Fighter.

Most of the other Game-Breaker pages don't have images. Do we want to pull this one?

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Shows absolutely nothing. It's as Just A Face And A Caption as they come.

The only defense I can see is that it looks (to me) like a powerful being, given the colour and proportions.

Should we just delete it, seeing as no other Game-Breaker has an image?

Well, I don't think it belongs as any page image no matter what other images there are or aren't, but let's get some more opinions about it first.

I opened the thread because I agree with the OP; it confers no context that would help the viewer understand the trope. I mean, I know Akuma from Street Fighter, but how many other people do?

Pull the image and note that it's not capable of being illustrated.

There's an image on Pokémon as well, of Mewtwo.

Yep, N8, that was too fast. We can afford to have a discussion, here.

[up] On what grounds? That is textbook JAFAAC material, for both pages.

EDIT: I've tagged both pages for this thread.

Akuma was a gamebreaker in the earlier games where he was a hidden/unlockable character. His moves had priority over most things, making him nearly unstoppable in the hands of a skilled player or the computer. For the better part of the last decade, he has since been severely nerfed and rebalanced into a Glass Cannon, having some of the worst HP out of all the fighters in the franchise.

Nothing about any of that is demonstrated in the picture.

Clock is set. Considering the difficult nature of this trope, I'm voting to tag the trope page and subpages as BUPKIS cases and close this thread; yea/nay?

Going to note here that GameBreaker.Magic The Gathering's pic was selected years ago in a long Image Picking discussion, so I'd be inclined to keep it.

[up] Yeah, that one can stay; the tag for the non-pic'ced pages would read:

%% Image Pickin' determined [trope/page/etc.] too difficult to adequately picture.
%% DO NOT add an image to this page without taking it through Image Pickin' first.
%% See this thread for decision: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1410050439092417400

The clock is up, and since the old pic's gone and we don't have any more discussion here, it's time to lock up.
