In countless cases, snapshots are way cooler than clips. First off, you get to look at a bunch of them at once and you can scroll between them with ease, which is great for making comparisons. Second, they don't require any bloated media player application. Third, a lot of scenarios are only cool for one frame so conveying them through video is not only a waste but also a hindrance. In particular, this applies to scenarios which are constructed to culminate in one moment and become uninteresting after that moment passes.
Some stuff (like your Cammy vs Dhalsim picture) is way better as a still frame because you see the entire concept at once, plus you get to study the most substantive part in detail. Most stuff (like your Cable vs Cable picture) is way better in motion because the meaning of the concept is lost when you press Pause. Personally i enjoy the first category just as much as the second, so that's the reason for this thread.
2nd one:Gambit doing super through ruby super they null each other.
Did you know that in MvC1, Gambit's Royal Flush can nullify most of War Machine's Proton Cannon? The only problem is that Proton Cannon outlasts Royal Flush so Gambit gets hit during recovery. But maybe in MvC2, Sabretooth's Birdie super can get through most of Iron Man's Proton Cannon and then DHC into Gambit's Royal Flush to take care of the rest. (This is an example of something that'd look cool in motion but terrible as a screenshot because the Proton Cannon beam blocks everything.)
