I found the picture to be utterly obfuscating to the trope. The trope here is "gameplay where everyone is a Stone Wall." Two polygonal figures sumo wrestling does not illustrate, and the fact it's vaguely literal just confuses the issue more.

Plus the fact it's longer than the description (and even the folders when collapsed) means it doesn't even look good.

Yeah, that doesn't look good at all. The pics on the game's trope page could use some work, too.

Eh, to me it sort of looks like the trope ... it does indicate to me that these two aren't hurting each other in any way.

It might work for the picture, but it's just way too damn big, and there are note  better examples.

Partially related, but Sumotori Dreams' subpages need help.

[down] I think the main page needs help too, but it had the minimum amount of tropes needed, so I was like "Eh."

Its main page could use work. Two images is too much for such a small page.

I think that while the current is an example, it seems to do more harm than good. It looks terrible, though that can be helped by throwing out some panels. However, since it's a rather literal image it gives the wrong impression of the trope. The first I thought of was about lacking controls, which is really more what the current is about anyway.

I vote pull.

I have no idea for a replacement really unless someone has a screen of say a World Of Warcraft tank at low HP getting healed with tons of combat text over it. something less messy than this one.

Alright, the clock is way overdue on this one. I count 5 solid to tentative pull votes, so I'm making the call to pull it. The page is tagged; locking up.

Good luck hurting anyone in this Fighting Game. Your main opponent is the controls.
