Soulcalibur IV gets another big-breasted, scantily clad character

by Majed Athab { May 14th 2008 at 4:30PM }

A new female character wearing a horned-skull and a thong has been revealed for Soulcalibur IV. The new character named Shura, seen in blurry magazine photos, is yet another collaborative design by non-Namco anime artists. The creator of the manga series Gantz, Hiroya Oku, sculpted this new vixen's noticeable curves. The only other thing we know about this new character is that it appears she'll be wielding two katana blades for her Soulcalibur debut.

With Soulcalibur IV aiming for a July 29 release in North America, we're wondering if there will be anymore new character reveals to come. And if so, then which anime artist will be called upon for the design? Can we please have Osamu Tezuka for an Astro Boy-esque character?

An Astro Boy character. He could blow up at the end of the first round and kick ass for the second and third rounds.

I actually made a Rainbow Parakeet (another Osamu Tezuka character) CAC in SC III. xP Nobody knew what the hell it was.

This is shaping up to be a large cast of characters.

Plenty of unique moves to memorize O_o

Tezuka Osamu is dead :P He died like 20 years ago I think.

Hehe, yes I know. It makes the whole proposition funnier. The idea of a zombie anime artist rising from the dead to bring us a new big-eyed, hotpants-wearing character in Soulcalibur is too funny. =P

I read somewhere that the game offer 32 playable characters, thats correct?, cause this game could have more boobie action than DOA: Extreme 2 :D:D:D:D

IRL those cloths will fall easily with just a small move. And im expecting real life videogaming. After playing opai slider im not impressed with videogame big breast anymore. But i wont say no to this pair if i see them on the street.

Come on Namco.
You really thought no one would notice.

The same thing goes for Capcom with SF4.

i'm a guy who likes women and definitely appreciates the "desirable" aspects they have.

but... i'm being honest when i say i'm getting more and more tired of sex appeal popping up all over the place.
i'd rather have a game stand on its great gameplay, rather wowing over explosive polygon breasts. not to say SCIV won't be a great playing game.

sigh... the trends these days. =]
