kotaku.com — Yes. Shocking. For your submission, the picture, showing Soul Calibur's Ivy as she's depicted on the game's official website. On the left, how she appears on the Japanese site. On the right? How she appears on the American site.

"This will not go down well with die-hard fans, Namco Bandai. They're not in this for the swordplay."lmao, that's so true... I know a few soul calibur fans and know EXACTLY what they're in it for xD

I wouldn't be surprised if Namco Bandai was slapped in the face with an M-rating from the ESRB, forcing them to tame down the game for a more marketable T-rating. The fan service in Soul Calibur IV was rivaling that of the Dead or Alive series which has been receiving an M-rating for quite some time now. I also don't know if there would be a legal catastrophe if the relatively family friendly Star Wars characters were used in an M-rated game.

If a girl looks at a cartoon character in a videogame and thinks that she's supposed to look like that, then she's a moronic, insecure idiot anyway and deserves to waste her money on the size DDDDD fake boob job she ends up getting.

Swords do not kill players, distracting breasts do!

As an American, I am outraged that other people are outraged that other people find this completely offensive.

Semi interesting game play be damned, the SC fan base will riot if such changes are present when the game is released. This is as bad as there not being fatalities in the MK vs. DC game. Most Soul Calibur and Kombat fans only play these games for the gimmicks.
