Ashlotte joins Soul Calibur IV, doesn't have back problems photo

Say hello to Ashlotte Meideru, Soul Calibur IV's newest fighter. Ashlotte is a brand new character that was designed by Ito Ōgure, more commonly known by his pen name as Oh! Great. Not much is known at this point other than that she's very pale and her axe/spear combo weapon looks badass. Ashlotte is also the fourth bonus fighter who was created by a guest anime artist for the game.

So far, out of all the new fighters introduced to Soul Calibur IV, Ashlotte is my favorite looking one. I adore the outfit and actually love the fact that her breasts aren't bigger than her head. No, hear me out here. See, if her breasts were huge and bouncing around all over the place, I'd get too distracted. Now, I can actually play as a female character and not worry about my other "joystick" in the process.

from what I understand, a lot of these new characters are not canon, but just extra surprises from manga writers. Kinda how Yoda and DV are not canon but treats.

I am in great need of purchasing this game. It's more exciting than anything else coming out this year to me.

I like her because she reminds me of Alucard from Symphony of the Night.

The dreaded Axe/Spear! Also known as... the shovel.

It kinda neat to see an established manga artist like Oh! Great doing character designs for games, kinda like Yoshitaka Amano.

This presents a wonderful new challenge to female cosplayers.

One that I am not even going to try.

I'm fine with women who don't have ginormous breasts. If I wanted to see breasts I'd go on the internet... Oh hello.

Where's all the new GUY talent? Seriously SC IV is making this a complete whorefest now.

granted she looks cool, but are all these guest characters gonna just draw female characters?

Spitfire - I'd love to see Amano do a character design for this.

So if she falls down, how does she get back up?

It's very strange to see an Oh! Great character in a Soul Calibur game with normal sized breasts...

Hilde is still the best newcomer, and one of the most well-designed ladies in a Soul game.

I really like how they're getting all these manga artists to make characters. I love Oh! Great's manga, I've been reading Air Gear and Tenjho Tenge for a while now

Oh and might I say, given Soul Calibur IV's reputaion along with Oh! Great's, the fack that this chick is fully clothed and has barely any boobs is quite surprising.
Shin Oni's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/19/2008 21:02

maybe Oh! Great figures Taki and now Shura's new addition is more than enough boobage in this game.

Soul Calibur is still good...but we don't need another DoA series merging. All these girls coming is making me think otherwise though.

I'm certainly glad to see a more normal female - well, except for that FREAKY ASS DEATH STAR DRESS.

I blogged yesterday about how distressing the over-saturation of tits were in SC4. Just as I started bitching about it, someone drops a chick with real-world cup size into the game. Eerie.

Soul Calibur seems to have an identity crisis. Sci-Fi characters (Vader and Yoda), fantasy characters (elven chick whose name I can't recall), and everything else in between. Regardless the game is looking interesting despite SCIII being a mild clusterfuck.

Yay for normal proportioned women. Now we just need an outfit that would be practical in a fight. My desire for this game ever grows, however

there is only one question to be asked, why don't they pray to whatever higher being they believe in and get the games in stores already, like WTF , spam advertise three or so days before it comes out and stop teasing us..

Am I the only one who thinks she is some sort of doll or puppet? Just look at her left elbow.

Yeah, I kinda agree with Shin Oni about the lack of new male fighters. Am I missing something, or has there been an overwhelming amount of new female characters?

That's an incredibly impractical outfit on the female Alucard, but her weapon looks pretty cool.

Regardless, this is one of my most anticipated games in the next few months. I'm PRAYING that the online mode is fun, competitive, and lag-free. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE be good!

Wow, this character is just so out there. Ashlotte Meideru? Is it even possible to pronounce? And her costume is even more insane. A farthingale exo-skeleton? :s

For the mangaka who gave us not just Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear but the even excellent Silky whip and Naked Star this character design is quite subdued. What next another female character in the game drawn by Yuji Shiozaki that doesn't show pantyshots.
