You know, last night, I was thinking "I should post an 'Attn: Ironfist!' thread and say '....isn't it about time for you to post another thread about how we should be able to post images? :D'.

Then I said "eh, I'm tired. I'll do it tomorrow morning."

**** you and your anticipating me!

SD, a couple years ago before the forums got transferred, (and alot of members lost there names), we use to be able to post images here that when ya click the thread, the image loads and you don't have to visit the site to view it. Only problem was idiots were putting like 10 images in there signatures.

It was not the forum transfer. If I remember correctly, it was ONE specific individual that was posting pornographic, or nearly so pics. that ruined it for the rest of us.

Wasn't his name 'Asian Sifu' or something like that?


Maybe being able to post images isn't all that good idea, but atleast posting 'thumbs' that if u click em. They will show in a bigger format. That way it wouldn't take up so much space

Busty ninja girl barred from Smash Bros. gets her own Tokyo pop-up store/merch line【Photos】 (https://soranews24.com/2019/12/26/busty-ninja-girl-barred-from-smash-bros-gets-her-own-tokyo-pop-up-store-merch-line%e3%80%90photos%e3%80%91/)

Nintendo’s crossover series won’t let Mai Shiranui in, but no one can keep her down!

Last month, Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate crossover game welcomed its latest DLC guest fighter: Terry Bogard, who hails from video game developer SNK’s Fatal Fury and King of Fighters franchises. But Terry wasn’t coming alone, as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai gleefully announced that 20 more SNK characters would be making background cameos in Terry’s stage.

However, Sakurai also let it be known that SNK character Mai Shiranui would not be appearing…because Smash is supposed to be a game “for good boys and girls,” a mission with which busty kunoichi (female ninja) Mai’s appearance is incompatible, despite Mai never being portrayed in an explicitly sexual or promiscuous way within the games.

Mai’s exclusion broke the hearts the many fans she’s acquired since her debut in 1992’s Fatal Fury 2, but they’ll be happy to hear that while Mai isn’t getting an invitation to Smash, she is getting her very own pop-up shop.

https://sociorocketnewsen.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/ms-1.jpg?w=768&h=1078

Hosted at the Akihabara Container event space, located right across the street from Tokyo’s JR Akihabara Station, the pop-up shop’s cheeky official name is the “For-All-Ages Mai Shiranui Exhibition.” Thanks to her decades-long fighting career, in which she’s been part of dozens of games, Mai has been drawn by an unusually large number of different character designers, and the pop-up store’s exclusive merch collects several different designs in the same items.

▼ Fan (1,980 yen [US$18])

Having illustrations from so many different eras side by side highlight how trends and aesthetic tastes have evolved in the video game/anime world, and from a pure artistic perspective it’s interesting to see how many variations can spring from the same starting template.

▼ The Mai History Muffler Towel (2,000 yen), with her official portraits from Fata Fury 2 (Mai’s first appearance), Fatal Fury Special, Real Bout Fatal Fury, Real Bout Special, King of Fighters ‘99, King of Fighters 2000, and SNK Heroines (Mai’s latest appearance) plus her move lists for each

▼ The Mai T-shirt (5,000 yen) comes in a package shaped like the cartridges for SNK’s over-powered Neo Geo home video game console.

Because Japan loves puns almost as much as it loves busty ninja girls, shoppers who spend over 6,000 yen will receive a free bag of Mai Shiranui rice. Why? Because both the kanji for Mai’s first name, 舞 (meaning “dance”) and the kanji 米 (meaning “rice”) can be read as “mai.”

▼ Mai Shiranui Rice (the same illustration is also available as a for-purchase poster)

▼ For pixel art connoisseurs: a framed, multi-layer Mai art panel (9,090 yen).

As an added bonus, if you stop by the store on January 1, Mai’s birthday (as listed on her official character bio), and spend over 10,000 yen, you’ll get a free canvas tote bag.

Akihabara Container is also promising other, not-yet-unveiled Mai merch, such as Mai jackets, stickers, and keychains. There’ll also be a selection of other SNK items, like acrylic stand character art (1,200 yen each)…

…super-deformed SNK Heroines pins (300 yen each from the randomized capsule toy machine)…

https://sociorocketnewsen.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/ms-8.jpg?w=768&h=365

…and, because the store is open during the New Year’s season, a traditional kagami mochi rice cake, made to look like recurring last boss Geese Howard’s Raging Storm super move (1,000 yen).
