It's just a random Street Fighter I screenshot. It tells you nothing about how Street Fighter II is much more famous than Street Fighter I.

Agreed, the current is basically JASAAC. I'm thinking this may be a BUPKIS case, but I could be wrong

[up]I vote BUPKIS for both.

Those tropes require familiarity with the works for their pics to be illustrative, so only if we can't find a lampshade, I'm inclined BUPKIS'ing both of them.

Spiral out, keep going.

I'll argue a weak keep on Adaption Displacement; it provides enough info to make it clear why is was an example.

I wonder if we could do some sort of Google ngrams thing comparing "Street Fighter I" and "Street Fighter II" or "Jaws the Movie" versus "Jaws the Book".

Edit: Just to give an example, Red Dragon vs Silence of the Lambs (I wouldn't actually use this example, but it works to give an idea of how to make a picture.)

Actually, here's a really good one for Sequel Displacement Tracey Ullman Show vs The Simpsons

Adaptation Displacement’s pic was chosen here; I’d argue a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested there.

I'd say pull from both.

Pull current, certainly.

Adaptation Displacement should probably go in its own thread, since there are arguments for keep.

BUPKIS for both, but take Adaptation Displacement to its own thread.

I think the tropes are similar enough to be equally worthy of BUPKIS.

This never got bumped, but the consensus is to BUPKIS the page so that's done. I'll update the list shortly; locking up.

Admit it. You always wondered why the first game in the series had "II" in the title.
