Original title: "Mai Shiranui's standing posture in various games, SNK understands male players."

Before the birth of the King of Boxing, was there a game that could compete with Street Fighter 2?

In 1992-94, the hottest fighting game in the arcade was Street Fighter 2, and the only thing that could wrestle with CAPCOM was SNK's early masterpiece, the Legend of the hungry Wolf, and the series.

Street Fighter 2 and the Legend of the hungry Wolf have always been regulars of the magazine:

In fact, the early "Street Fighter 1" was led by Nishiyama Longzhi, which caused strong repercussions in Europe and the United States, and even CAPCOM was unexpected. However, it is a pity that after that, Takashi Nishiyama chose to leave the company and join SNK because he was at odds with the ideas of CAPCOM executives.

Here in Xishan Longzhi's talent has finally been released, put all the ideas into a fighting game, and this is the "hungry wolf legend".

At that time, the magazine spoke highly of the Legend of the hungry Wolf, and it was transplanted on all the popular mainframe platforms at that time.

Compared with Street Fighter 2, the Legend of the hungry wolf pays more attention to details and picture effects: weather changes, background changes, character transformation effects, two-to-one mode. Many innovations are even used for reference by CAPCOM.

To the "hungry wolf legend 2" not only increased the number of optional characters to eight, but also added super kill skills and a reversal, as well as a female ninja who provides lifelong benefits for players: Mai Shiranui.

Many players began to pay attention to the series from this work, which is a relatively perfect work of the series. Although the Legend of the hungry wolf 3 is also popular, its tedious "potential" makes many players want to smash the machine.

During the Legend of the Hungry Wolf, the potential has simplified instructions. Mai Shiranui dressed in meat used to be the dream of many friends!

Mai Shiranui is the focus of players' attention in previous versions, and his every styling change is still fresh in people's memory. However, I have to say that with the update of the version, the picture quality may not be improved. Mai Shiranui's posture is indeed getting better and better.

Many people like Mai Shiranui in the Legend of the hungry wolf for a reason, just because there is more meat in the series.

Today, the editor will take you to recall the styling changes of Mai Shiranui in various versions. See how much SNK understands the minds of players.

Legend of the hungry wolf 2, during this period Mai Shiranui's skin is very white, and looks very fleshy. The most important thing is that the size of the fire style clothing is relatively small, just enough to cover the key parts.

It can be regarded as a game with a larger scale in the game hall. It was not easy to pass the trial at that time.

The same is true of the enhanced version of the Legend of the hungry Wolf.

In the Legend of the hungry Wolf 3, there has been a certain change in the way of wearing clothes. The opening of the chest feels like an extra vest, which is actually connected together.

For years, players have been debating which version of Mai Shiranui has the best shape, and the Legend of the hungry wolf 3 is mentioned the most times.

Her triumphant gesture finally stopped selling meat, and her palms just covered her thighs, looking very beautiful. On the contrary, the serious Mai Shiranui is more loved by the players.

There is little change in the look in the Legend of the Hungry Wolf.

During the period of "the Legend of the really hungry Wolf 2", Mai Shiranui's clothes changed again and felt that the original setting had been restored. The facial expression becomes much cuter, and the body feels like flesh. It is precisely because there is more meat in the thighs, I feel that the waist has just become thinner.

Victory action we can see the conscience of SNK ah!

Many players are more curious, why Mai Shiranui came to the "Boxing King" but not the "hungry wolf legend" period exquisite?

In fact, there is a time misunderstanding. "the King of Boxing 94", "the King of Boxing 95" and "the Legend of the really hungry Wolf" are actually works of the same period. It is not after the release of the Legend of the hungry wolf that the series of the King of Boxing began.

"King of Boxing 94" was released in 1994, when the Legend of the hungry Wolf has just released a special edition of the Legend of the hungry Wolf, and even the Legend of the hungry Wolf 3 has not yet been released. Therefore, the shape of the characters looks relatively immature, and the King of Boxing intends to turn Mai Shiranui into small legs, so we can see the shadow of the Legend of the hungry Wolf 1.

"Boxing King 95" basically did not change, to "Boxing King 96" SNK finally designed a new posture for Mai Shiranui. And this has become the most representative pose in the "King of Boxing" series. Mai Shiranui's skin color also began to change in this version, making it more realistic.

It can be said that SNK has taken the cost-saving operation to the extreme, and almost all the characters in subsequent versions have not changed. "Boxing King 96"-"Boxing King 2003" Mai Shiranui has not changed much.

The "Boxing King 11" period made a slight adjustment, but the overall situation has not changed much.

In CAPCOM's "CVS" series, Mai Shiranui's look is slightly different.

"Boxing King 12" and "Boxing King 13" Mai Shiranui is a lovely cartoon character (as the examination requirements are more stringent now, 12 and 13 Mai Shiranui can no longer be sent out), while "Boxing King 14" is a relatively stiff 3D image, giving people a sense of inexplicable words. Fortunately, during the "Boxing King 15" period, Mai Shiranui finally had a relatively perfect 3D image.

Many years later, when we get used to the look of Mai Shiranui in the King of Boxing, we will find that her image in the early years of the game has a different flavor. After all! The charm emitted by different times is different.
