One Man’s Reaction to Ivy’s Boobs

You all know that I’m a fan of the Soul Calibur series. But I can’t support the desperate marketing scheme that is “Ivy’s bosom”. It’s a shame that female fans of the series have to deal with these awkward balloons of failure from the developers of the game.  I thought I was alone in thinking this. Well it turns out that I’m not alone. And I found a MAN that agrees with me! Woot! Below you’ll find Matt Brett’s thoughts on Ivy and Soul Calibur 4.

Holy Tits Batman!

Let’s get Ivy out of the way right off the bat. Someone got a little carried away with the boobs on that girl, and not in a good way. Like the next guy, I’m all for boobs. But there’s a limit, and Ivy crossed it 10 times over. It’s just not right. Not even in a funny sort of way. Ridiculous, is probably the best word to describe Ivy. But unfortunately, Ivy isn’t the only culprit in the gigantic tits department. Like most Japanese games that involve females, they’re all sporting what appear to be huge sacks of liquid, awkwardly tacked on their torso. Again, it’s just not right.

Matt Brett rocks.

So what do you think about Ivy’s body proportions? Should developers quit acting like over-eager 12 year olds and stop shoving this nonsense at us? Or do you think that I’m being a typical ‘Feminist-gamer-girl’ by over-reacting?
