Well yes, he (it?) should go above the rest, of course.

I still think someone on this board during the height of Link's dominance of contests and Super Cena in WWE should have edited Links head on to John Cena. Would have been funny

Someone here who is good at editing should create a Displate featuring all the characters together, that would be sweet.

3 from Displate, 6 from MetalPosters.

Gotta say, I think I like the MetalPosters alot more. The Displates can scratch the wall when you want to adjust them.

That was the best Mario I could find.

Never heard of MetalPosters before. Their prices seem to be a good bit higher, and they don't have a dedicated search category for gaming, so you just kinda have to pray they have what you want.

Which size are the ones from metal posters, out of curiosity? They look almost the same as the displates, but the standard displate doesn't line up with any of their sizes.

Still blows my mind that Sephiroth got in. Cloud too, actually. Those reveals were hype.

I would have swapped the order of some of them to centralize their eye lines or postures. Would have gone Link/Seph/Cloud on the top the and probably their Samus on the far right of the bottom row since she seems to be the most left facing.

Originally, I wanted a clean 33 grid - that was the goal. But once I started measuring, the bottom row fell too low on the wall. Thats what led me to the Clinkeroth configuration and it ended up being perfect.

Cloud | Link | Sephiroth

Link goes dead-center. Hes the top dawg and literally on the peak.
Cloud is turned away from Link because if Cloud was in the center, hed be staring right at Links Master Sword. Sephiroth mirrors him on the other side. One small detail: the Sun and Moon behind those two flankers.

From there, I structured the rest into two more rows of threes:

Snake | Samus | Mario
Crono | Mega Man | Sonic

Each trio creates its own little triangle rivalry in terms of strength - with Mario and Crono meeting in the middle. Samus and Mega Man are the blaster-types, so they naturally work best opposite each other. Solid Snake and Sonic both face inward to help close the composition visually.
You can even map clean matchup history across the whole row - Snake vs Samus, Samus vs Mario, Mario vs Crono, etc.

I love it. I was expecting it to be a 5-4 formation, and Snake having the white background and on the far left means my eyes kind of drifted over him for a minute

But it still absolutely rules and your justification makes sense

Ill definitely be on the lookout for a better Snake poster. His was the toughest one to find a good portrait that fit with the rest.
