Boobs have ruined this game for me a bit. I don't mind one or two busty characters. For all I care they can pump up Ivy from game to game all they want. My problem is that they've attached huge breasts to my old favorite character Taki as well. Totally doesn't fit with her fighting style and her overall image.
Tits aside, I'm trying to think of something more insightful to contribute to an article such as this. Such as how I'm more curious about what modeling software they are using here. 3DS, Maya, Zbrush?
@StriderShinryu: HEY! I know you! You stole my beam sword at the academy! I SWORE I'd get even with you, blasted theft! lol I kid.
@Maleficent Lovecraft: SC II is still the best in the series IMO. I played the arcade cabinet for two days before my import and freeloader came in for Gamecube. Never looked back after that.
@Herabek: Truly the best typo since Dude Huge. Hope it gets Snakes-on-a-Plane'd and turned into the real title. (Complete with "0" in the place of "O".)
@Saint Anima: I guess it's a matter of opinon, but I think her boobs are disgusting. They're not natural, and the outfit is just ridiculous. I know we've* started moving on from this crap, but I have a feeling Japan's not budging at all.
* We as in "gamers," not Americans or Europeans. Forgive any confusion.
@geiko: Hey now, there are all different opinions on what qualifies as sexy. Now, in the real world, I have a very grounded opinion. In video games, that still transfers but, I don't see the problem with liking that type of figure, as extreme and stylized as it is.
Is it the body I think all women should have? Hell no. But tell me women are bad people if they find any given Street Fighter male sexy. I mean come on, you'd have to be on steroids to achieve that kind of bulk.
Fantasy is fantasy for a reason. It's like godiva chocolates: I don't eat them all the time, they're not exaclty my favorite, but they're damn good sweets.
Don't get me wrong, I love breasts on a woman, just like a healthy guy, but with Ivy I feel they REALLY whored her out. This outfit is just too much for me.
@aaj111: ewwww, just say no to flat asses. Flat asses are for guys with small...minds.
But I have to agree with some others here, Ivy's design has always been stupid. Female characters in general tend to follow the "retardo" school of design mostly seen in comics and film. Example: superhero team has guys in full body armor and weapons loadout...women are dressed in what amounts to bikini armor.
It's stupid design from guys that seem to be sexually deprived or just lack common sense or design knowledge or both. If I'm a evil villain, what's stopping me from getting a sniper rifle and putting one right in the woman's gut? let her die a bloody, slow, painful death. All she's wearing is a bikini. What woman would go to war in six inch heels? Most women I see walking the street can barely maintain their balance in those things walking. It's stupid design. Doesn't make sense.
what gives? Where's this new engine that was used to better portray character movements? am i missing something looking at the youtube vid? it looks almost exactly the same as Tekken 5. the models are more detailed but the animation looks the same.
wait... I had to go over to youtube and look at another video. The animations are still based on tekken 5 but they look a bit smoother. I don't see why a new engine would have to be made for them though. looks like a modified Tekken 5 engine would have did the trick.I like the shadows and lighting. the new stances and animations for Law and Lei are awesome. (Why can't we have Law fight as he is in Tekken 6 now but bring back Forest and let him fight like Brandon Lee in Rapid Fire?) Some of the juggles I saw were lame though and I definitely don't like the wall rape juggles.
Virtua Fighter is still the best 3D fighter for me but I can definitely appreciate Tekken for its own style. After watching about 20 minutes of youtube footage, I'm tempting to buy the PS3 version and the PSP version. we'll see
@Striderhayasa - Can we get some damn m/kb support?!: There is a lot you can't see from just a Youtube video. When I went to play BR at an arcade, you could see just how different a lot of the animations look. The blur effect is very hard to tell from a video, but you could see it very prominently firsthand. The visuals are very impressive from what I saw.
@Unmazen: yeah, I was taking that into account when I watched the first youtube vid, but then I jumped into youtube on my PS3 and watched the 9 minute combo video and a few matches. It's still youtube so the quality is no where near what the game actually looks like but I could see the animations are definitely better. It's more obvious for some characters than others. Law....holy shit, he's almost like a new character. His 25 hit Rage Combo of Death is fucking retarded though. If I had to legitimately complain about anything. it would be I don't like how some of the juggles work. I see how Namco toned down the damage so you still have a chance to win but some of the juggles I saw were flatout cheap. I saw a guy get juggled half-way across a stage just so his opponent could really go to work on him with a wall rape combo. I shouldn't get ahead of myself. Before I pledge cash to Tekken 6 I think I'll take a wait-and-see perspective.
I like how the game looks and Zafina is awesome if not a bit weird. Law, Lei and Jin are my favorite characters but I like to use Eddy, Bruce and Raven from time to time. But I don't want to get reduced to pathetic cheap tactics just to compete. We'll see.

Seems to me like the PS3 could have pulled off way better models than the ones they have in SC4.

Her ass is just fine, thank you. Wouldn't hurt to subtract a little mass from boobs and add that to the bum, or other areas, though. :P
