Celebrate the two-person fighter by transforming information (names) into pattern (fight combos). One day, our rock stars will all be Criminal Members of the Black Dragon Organization.

Silver on darkest of gray, tho yellow on said gray might also do the trick.

Thanks for looking, voting, and constructive cirticism (yes, thank you: we all know about Experimental Jetset).

yoga flame?

Well kerned.

HYPER UPPERCUT!

← ↓ →, you say?

The motion for a jab fireball (Hadouken)?

Sorry all I ever played was Street Fighter lol.

FUCKIN' A... $5

Check out Jinx.com.

This would have been better as a Type Tee submission, I think.

Hmm...don't get it...

I dig the font, but I so don't understand what this means.

i liked the shirts that looked exactly like this but said either the ramones names or the beatles names. lame.

I think it's a Yoga Flame!

My first thought was that episode of the Simpsons where Kang (or Kodos...) says 'we must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward...'
Well yeah.
It's okay, I'm a bit of a retard.

Yoga flame is the same move as the hadouken in street fighter two.

ah, and hyper uppercut with sagat. Me and my buddies used to think he said "Tiger uppercut".

get rid of the &'s

when you say the move to someone "back back forward forward punch"

you dont have time to say and in between.

Back & Down & Forward & Low Punch

Hmm... Not lookin' good, pard.

The Ramones & Beatles shirts mentioned by "hollygolightly" are the Experimental Jetset shirts I mentioned in my opening comments. There are now shirts floating around with the names of Wu Tang and others. This also explains the ampersands (&s) in the shirt design above, because they are necessary elements of the previous installments.

Thus, my submission both continues this pattern and varies it conceptually, as now instead of the names of dead and dying musicians, the information has changed into a "special move" (a" finishing move," to be precise). The currents of gamer data thus empower players to kill our electronic heroes over and over again.

I’m still hesitant to say the name of the character and the game I had in mind; it may influence votes.

I thank you all for the comments, and I thank those following closely and posting often. Please continue!

mortal kombat?

'&' implies pressing at the same time.

Back, Down, Forward & Low Punch would be more accurate.

And, a hadouken is down, down/forward, forward & punch.

Well, be that as it may, this is f**kin class

5!!!!!!!!!!!!

w00t mortal kombat!!

why not make that into a slogan. . .you'll have more chances of winning. . .

that takes NO talent/time to make on a t shirt.

very "experimental jetset"

I'd be afraid of people not getting it really ^_^;

it'd make a better slogan

good for just a text shirt. usually I shoot 'em down.

Again, it should be Back Down Forward & Low Punch.

Did you guys even play video games?

In any 2d fighter there is no low punch button. It's down/punch.

PLEASE NOTE: I have not submitted this design as a slogan T, nor do/ did I intend to do so. "M. Rogers" has no affiliation with any Threadless participant who submitted the components of this design as a slogan T, and this design should not be considered part of any kind of multiple or mass submission. There is no "we."

Please read my comments posted July 28. Thanks to all for pointing out that it’s more accurately “back, down, forward, low punch.” Though I have different aims for the shirt than relaying this information, I’m glad you all kept watch at the gate.

Thanks for reading/ viewing, and please continue voting/posting.

hmmm i think the kerning is genius ;)

Remind me something already seen with soccer surnames ...

Very Clever! Cool! =)

I feel that shirt yo!

^^^ Grappa's really right. This looks like an absolute, definite rip off of the designs by experimental jetset! Go to http://www.designmuseum.org/design/experimental-jetset. There's an image of the john & paul & ringo & george design.
It's way too close to be a coincidence. Probably same font too!

Yeah, I'd rather not support ripoffs and I hope the rest of you come to the same conclusion. We can't let people exploit the success of others. That doesn't advance anything.

annie the Pug & Bombsheild (and, really, anyone happening on this design & feeling its familiarity):

please read my opening comment. it's the first one, and it's labled "this is my design."
