The current picture is far too busy. I can barely tell what that guy in the middle is supposed to be, let alone figure out what's going on there.

This trope seems like a hard one to illustrate. We would need a picture where we can both tell what's going on, and that also makes it clear that one of the characters involved is assisting instead of being an actual fighter. Maybe this one is better off pictureless?

I don't think the current's bad enough to pull straightaway, but something that's less busy would be preferable.

Same thing with a different background, if someone has the game and can take a screen?

Current image is pretty busy, yeah.

Yeah, just make the background simpler and that would cut it.

Now the questions is whether anyone else owns the game on PC or has something to make a screen capture for PS 3.

That could work well, actually. I'll set up nicer picture of that one in a moment.

Is that even an example? Assist characters are usually dynamic entry assists onto the battlefield do their crap then leave.

Toad isn't quite that.

A Smash Assist Trophy however is one.

Well, Toad is a character who shows up in the battlefield and does his crap before leaving. It just so happens that the crap he does is being a Human Shield and doing a Counter-Attack.

I thought on using an assist trophy, but it'll be hard to find a picture that makes it clear that the assist trophy is 1)Not an actual fighter. 2)Not a stage hazard. 3)Actually helping out someone in battle.

EDIT: Here are two versions of the Toad pic.

I think one of the Toad pics would work pretty well.

This one's way past the clock and there's not enough consensus to go with one of the Toad pics. Locking up.
