Well, Curb-Stomp Battle has been one of my favorite tropes and I would like to see some really good image for the page. I once uploaded Roy curbstomping Envy, but it got deleted for not being clear enough. So anyone with good images?

Hm, I swear there was something on that page before, but I can't find it in the page history.

We had a REALLY long discussion on this before, it went nowhere. The old image was something from One Piece which was impossible to make out.

There were actually two pictures before that, too: a perfect victory screen cap from Mortal Kombat and a black and white photograph of what believe was the founder of Aikido knocking over a student without looking.

I wondered why those two were removed.

Well, the second one is now on the Old Master page.

Don't know about the Mortal Kombat image, though.

How about this one?

This is the original splash page.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

Something along the lines of this but bigger?

Looks like a fair fight.

Oh, one's level 1 and the other 100.

Wouldn't a level 1 Magikarp versus a level 100 Regigigas work out more?

No, you can't eat my soul. Stop asking.

Isn't the point of it being a curb stomp battle that it initially resembles a fair fight, before the first final punch is thrown?

I have a message from another time...

To tell the truth, the Regigigas one works the best. It is deceiving at first, but then you see the level of the opposing Pokemon.

Conclusion: This is going to be a Curb Stomp Battle.

And especially since its Regigigas vs Regigigas.

I just wish it was bigger (although its still readable as it is.)

It does depict the tropes well. To be sure people get it, maybe put a caption in this vein "Looks fair to you? Look again. Closely."

[up] It's pretty good, but I really like the Pokemon one. I didn't get it at first, then...ouch.

I'm in favor of the Regigigas one. Though, if anyone has Pokemon Battle Revolution, I feel like placing two legendary pokemon with a drastic level difference in there might be slightly better since you can't really see much of the Regigigas backsprite.

The picture has been up for a while with no objections. Lock?
