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.

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?
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!
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"
at least she's as pale as the original ivy :-)
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.
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.
Thanks for your time!
..but for how long?
WE WANT OUR UNDERBOOB!
Well, it worked for MTV...
Pure gold... Your writing is tits!
nEEd To kILL .....RiSiNg!!!!!!
RIIISSSING
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.
