Needs Help: That One Boss.Shoot Em Up

This image◊ did not get enough votes in the Main suggestion thread. Other ideas?

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

It may be premature, but I'm thinking this is going to be a BUPKIS case.

I nominated that image, which is from Gradius V, and it's a shame that not many Tropers vote it. Also, what exactly is BUPKIS?

I don't usually watch the Main Suggestions thread, but I would totally vote for that. Maybe it'll get more exposure in this thread?

BUPKIS is short for "Blank Until Pretty Kick-Ass Image Suggestion." Basically, if someone says it, they feel like a page will need a very good image suggested before being accepted, otherwise it should be empty.

That said, it's not that bad. It looks large and imposing, and there's a large amount of bullets. That said, are the meteorites background, or harmful as well?

While the meteorites are needed for the player to defend themselves from the boss' bullets, said meteorites can kill the player, especially from behind while the boss becomes vulnerable. Basically, the meteorites are harmful.

Here's a video of how this boss is fought.

Okay, thanks. That's what I needed to know. The pic seems fine overall.

Awesome, so can I upload that pic for the page then?

Google Snake Game.

No, wait for opinions first. When five or more people approve of the image, it will be added to the page (it's called consensus). Of course, people may disapprove of it too. Basically, upvote-downvote>=5 is usually consensus.

Oh right. I'll leave that page blank until otherwise.

As someone who hasn't played the game, I can tell the meteors aren't background from the projectiles crashing into them and they do look very annoying. A clarifying caption would help though.

Which caption do you guys prefer?

Google Snake Game.

"Asteroids destroy bullets... AND you!"

Now that's better.

Google Snake Game.

I can live with that as the caption.

Same.

(Annoyed grunt)

Can we make a consensus vote on this thread, or do I have to make another thread just for that purpose?

Google Snake Game.

No, it just needs a few more posts here.

Suggested caption.

Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!

The Rosers were red. The Drownies are blue. I know What the Thunder Said. Do you?

Alternatively, a boss fight whose intimidation value is more easily picturable...

Can we get the OP suggestion with a higher quality?

That looks really squashed vertically.

Better?
