Quantcast



You'd be surprised how hard it is to find hi-res photos of male crotches in Soulcalibur.

I always thought that Soulcalibur was about trying to look at Ivy's tits, but it seems there is much more to it -- there are also panites to keep in mind.

Apparently, the Arcade version of Soulcalibur included codes for changing the female characters' underwear color -- various button combos could change Sophie's holiest of holies to light pink or black or light-blue. Unfortunately, the combos didn't translate to the Dreamcast version, and Namco's tip hotline was quickly made obsolete, prompting one thorough lecher to figure them out for himself and send Namco a little note. 

The funniest part of this whole thing isn't that Namco had to send around an inter-office memo to deal with the busted tip hotline (or that it was forwarded to UK:Resistance), but that someone took the time, not only to figure out how to change those bizzle's panty colors, but to write a very serious and formal explanation about the whole process.

And really, Namco seems to be selling themselves short -- why not include variable underwear for the male characters? Maybe Siegfried looks good in black lace. There's clearly a market for this kind of stuff -- they could spin the series off into some sexy new territory? You could have Raphael and Astaroth on a beach or something, right? And they could do, like, watersports and shit. Playing volleyball and that kind of stuff.

Or, maybe, a Voldo BDSM sim?

That's so sweet that they contacted Namco about their error! A bit weird about the actual ability to change panty colour though. Crazy Japanese people!

Wait, I thought the pantie codes only worked for the jp version.

Also this is super old.

@Para -- well it's new to me.

And I posted it at 3 in the morning. If there's ever been a time for lulz, it's at 3 in the morning.

The buttons are refered to in the game as "A, B, and K."

There's no need to change the response because that's the CORRECT response.

It's not like for the PS3 people are saying, "Press Square, Square, Triangle." It would simply be A,A,B.

This post suffers from a serious lack of comparison shots of the different color underwears.

This is the most important memo in the history of memos.

"And they could do, like, watersports and shit."

Thinly veiled porn reference?

You be the judge.
