We're dedicated to bringing you only the most relevant and hard-hitting weekend news, which is why we bring you grave word that Soul Calibur IV's Ivy might show a little less of her fat wobbly tits in the American version of the game than in the Japanese version -- JOURNALISM! The above image is a comparison shot, with the breasticle-laden Ivy on the left as she appears on the Japanese SC IV Web site, and the more modest Ivy on the right as she appears on the American site. As someone who keeps abreast of these matters, I want to know what incompetent boob decided this. If mammary serves me correctly, this game has always been about the bare skin, so someone ought to nip it in the bud. Namco Bandai, hear this! I demand that Ivy's lactoids be on display for all to see. We've already lost the fatalities in Mortal Kombat; we refuse to surrender our snuggle pups, loblollies and twangers. We deserve the sweater meat as much as any Japanese gamer. So help me God, I will destroy you if this is not resolved. Bops, tomatoes, chimichongas and kazongas. Okay, I'm done.

God damn you NamcoBandai! GOD DAMN YOU!
Not trying to be gay, but the covered version looks better - more natural. The uncovered version looks like she sat down a McDonalds and forgot to leave.
It always surprises me how often I have to search for breast euphemisms.
I demand my milk-bags!
Oh, Jim...what a wonderful man you are. The second paragraph is pure gold.
Japanese version has better boobs, US version just looks better.
Also, I can't help but wonder if this is revenge for the most recent gaming internet meme. Don't you US people have enough beeg american teetees?
Jim can always be counted on for hard-hitting journalism such as this!
Whatever happened to Beeeeg American teeteeez cousin?
Another win for the republicans. HUUZZAH!
NOOOOOO! They better not cover those pups up!
This may be the biggest lost Americans will ever feel.
Jim those aren't MAN Boobs.... sooo i don't your interest in this..... anyways !!!!
If you cant hear it , i am applauding the second paragraph....
As for the Lack of Boobage... i have never been one to overtly show my adoration for the assets of female game characters...
but man , this hurts deep down inside.... as unatural as they are... i hate to see em go!
Yea, the American version looks better except for the part where there is a lackage of boobage.
Damnit Jim, now my g/f and I have to have the boobs in video games discussion all day.... Grr!
And, another thing is why in Japan are things like 'nakedness on a cgi/doll' much more acceptable than anywhere else I wonder?
Ya the american version looks like it might suck now.
you can play online right?
what if you fight a Japanese person using Ivy? or is that why they oh ways put the " game content may change when playing online"
I want the japanese one :-)
at least she's as pale as the original ivy :-)
Give me tits or give me DEATH!!!
WHAT THE HECK! We have already seen Ivy's boobs, for like a year now. If they take this away, I am not getting the game. I guess I will Import the Boobfilled Japanese one for PS3. BOOBS ROCK!
**Possible False Alarm**
All the videos and screens on the site have Ivy with boobies out. It could be that the Retarded ESRB wants it like this because the site is not age gated.
Shouldn't it be 'baps'? ;P
Bewbs!
She'll be wearing a track-suit in the Australian version.
Slique: Both are acceptable terms for bazookas.
this wasn't interesting when I read it yesterday on Kotaku either.
I love me some boobs, but honestly, the American version makes much more sense. I don't care what kind of physics your world has (and apparently, they're physics where a sword can block a lightsaber), but there is no way a thin strip of fabric is going to contain those monstrosities.
And you might be confusing this with Dead or Alive. Soul Calibur has actually had some restraint in tossing sweater meat on every character in the past, even Ivy. It puzzles me why they gave every girl ridiculous tits in this game.
i do like the boobs.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Now I'm gonna have to play Dead or Alive for my fanservice fix. Why, Namco, why? You can have Ms. Pac-man in the friggin' NUDE, but you can't give Ivy a tasteful bikini top?
"this wasn't interesting when I read it yesterday on Kotaku either."
Thanks for your time!
I don't see why this is news... Any it's probably like what mister1337 said.
Chibi: Because it's Saturday, and because most people got a laugh out of it.
Hmm.. perhaps Namco got nuthin to do with this; ESRB probably forced em to tone down the TnA in the American version of the game to appease the ultraconservative, the parents and JT..
I DEMAND UNDERBOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I win the argument.. for now.. Cgi is cgi, and does _not_ arouse me as say, a real life univision/telemundo stripper chica. I win!
..but for how long?
Horrendous violence is fine, but a little underboob can undermine an entire nation.
we must start a petition!
WE WANT OUR UNDERBOOB!
Well, it worked for MTV...
Jim: Oh, I did get a laugh out of it. But some people seem to be taking this a little too seriously.
I am a boob man. That is why I am bookmarking this story for reference so that I may always have the right word on hand when referring to my girlfriends hooters, as well as the bosoms of other women I encounter.
good laugh Jim. soul caliber is my favorite fighting game and since the dreamcast its always had those juggling boobs. i don't think we'll get it censored because they're advertising the new character in a g~string! i hope it don't get censored. but multiple costumes al~la tekken online (so many choices).
If you look in the english site the flash video of ivy during gameplay, the boobs are still there
ugh. mother of f, i want boob and i want it now damnit.
I was most Jimpressed with that second paragraph.
Pure gold... Your writing is tits!
HEY HEY HEY WAIT.....i just found out if you type boobs into google you can look at them for free. I think we are going to alright guys,we really dodged the bullet on this one.
I thought i could get through this day without the need to kill. But now....NOW....
nEEd To kILL .....RiSiNg!!!!!!
RIIISSSING
Soul Calibur Boobage became rampant after SC2. In SC3 we had Tira, whose default costume looked like she was jumped in a dark alleyway, got the clothes in her upper half ripped, but decapitated the assailant with that large, circular blade thing she calls a "weapon" (how it's practical in a proper fight, i have no idea). I always thought that prior to SC3, jiggly physics was reserved to Taki. In SC3, you can bet that if a character had man-racks, it would flail around, wildly.
Fucking American values fearing nudity.
Hopefully this is just censored artwork for the website...? You know, if say, a kid stumbles upon it? Maybe the game itself won't be censored in the US...?
Bah... I like Ivy because her appearance/body is a lot more sensible than Taki or Kasumi having huge boobs--Ivy's a thirty-something meaty girl. A thirty-something who looks like a prostitute, granted, but still.
I think I'm going to relax for this now seeing as we have already seen ivy's boobs in videos and if I recall the announcement trailer for IV had like a zoom in on her boobs (I guess to show the realistic veins on them) so, I'm gonna go ahead and say in game there will be tits.
Hmmm.... I actually like the American top better, looks more comfortable and functional.
Meh, I got doujin for that.
:[ I want my tits.
Ridiculously immature article aside, I'm all for the cover up. Even as a lesbian the new pandering of Soul Calibur to the drooling DoA crowd has been nothing but disappointing. Any covering up of those utterly pointless tits is a good thing.
I like breasts as much as the next straight guy (lol), but is it really so much to ask that they're kept remotely realistic? e_e
Well done with the boob thesaurus, leastways, lol.
I demand more boobies in my games!!!
Saved the pic incase of no boobs XD
Wii Want our boobz...the bigger the better...
Dtoid, this is an attack on our VERY manhood. We must fight back. I'll get the Powerthirst.
boobs
NEED FUNBAGS!
No underboob? Tragic.
Destructoid: expanding your vocabulary since 2006 :D
Ehm... What about the European version?
Maybe they'll offer DLC boobs, ahha.
Every single one of you complaining are just a bunch of perverts who can't get laid even on the Vagina Day Parade.
Second paragraph wins the Internets. All of them. Including the porn.
Porn is all over the internet. I really don't need it in my Soul Calibur. It would be nice if they would spend less time whoring out some of my beloved characters, and more time actually making a good game.
BREASTS. That is all.
This is relevant to my interests.
[size=200]:(/size]
I'm not buying the game because of this unless it is uncensored. It's not that I'm particularly interested in Ivy's tits, I'm just sick and tired of games being changed or censored when they are brought over to the states.
:(
damn bbcode fail!
Got milk? well.. not anymore!
SALVATION! This picture is from the US site. Boobs are still there.
Only time will tell.
Need moar breastes
Dual-wielding.
Am I the only one who doesn't fap to Ivy?? The other girls in the game look much better. And that's not IMHO, that's fact.
@Kia
"Ridiculously immature article aside"
THIS... IS... DESTRUCTOID! Perhaps you took a wrong turn at Kotaku, sir.
Now I am not interested in the game anymore.
Give me my titties!!! Also excellent breast puns. Well played sir. Well played.
Breastage FTW!
Also, norks.
