I don't mind Ivy's P1 at all. I hope her P2's coloration isn't as dull as her SCIV P2.

Even when you use bright recolors, it still looks dull and ugly. Although from a design standpoint, it was fine. Maybe except the skirt.
 
What I got from this thread today: Women showing skin is automatically "trashy". The costume is literally a mix of 1, 5, and bit inbetween. Nevermind that Ivy is a dominatrix and has been visually consistent.

She's also a formidable warrior but whatever. It's always x woman is a slut and x dude is weeaboo edgelord scum.

I like what seems to be an attack throw instead of a normal ranged attack for Ivy's 2B+K but I think the opponent might have to be standing. Idk what it would do if they are on the ground. all of her moves look great. I am curious about what happened in the beginning. She initially missed her horizonal whip swing while Mitsu was sidestepping then it autocorrected and counterhit him. Pros, please take a look for us.

Zasalamel is cool but something to focus on is the purple energy orbs swirling arpund Mitsu right before the RE. I think Zas can curse his opponents for some beneficial effect similar to Enchantress from Injustice 2.

Really? I actually thought that that outfit in SC4 was gorgeous looking, It was a nice contrast to her 1p outfit, So she had something revealing and also something on the other side. Helps that her hair was also amazing in that outfit.
 
I rather like the homage to SC1 Ivy but it still retains some of her later gaudiness which is nifty too. Zasalamel looks much better in the gameplay than his artwork, but I like the stylistic choices they made for his costume, like throwing back to SC3 and 4, and then the bandaging he has on his legs.

I don't know why people dislike that one so much. I think is quite a nice "winter" look.
 
I don't really like Ivy's voice. Not sure if it changed or what but it seems kinda off to me. Also glad zas is back.

Nice strawman. Showing skin is fine. It's when the only clothing on your torso is a few straps and strings surrounding your belly and two literal pads covering your nips that trashy becomes an accurate descriptor.

It looks nothing like her SCV outfit. It's her SCI outfit with bigger boobs and less clothing.

No, its not, "trashy" only becomes an accurate descriptor in this cases when the costume is out of place or the one adressing the costume that way is a pseudo-feminist/feminazi. Because apparently women can't dress in a sexy way without being considered trashy. Nevermind the fact that Ivy always managed to be badass and well liked regardless of being a sex symbol, and also, nevermind thet her whole moveset and theme was ALWAYS about her being a dominatrix and she being dressed like that is much more fitting for the theme than her being covered.
 
... Anyway, I wonder how much she's changed. I'm so happy they brought the throw from SE and that move where the whip goes into the circle and shoots down into the ground back.
 
Curious to see a character select screen now with these two just as a hint to Cervantes if Kilik's and Groh's slots are any indication.

And Zas's sigil-thingy looks like Groh's? Could this indeed confirm a connection to Aval or whatever? It might be interesting if the Arthurian connections are true and Zas happens to be Merlin in this universe.

And yeah random aside but ironically Ivy's style looks more gender-neutral than Sophitia's if you ignore the ballet-looking stuff. Ivy also seems to be cursing her blood so it makes me wonder if she's still working with Nightmare at first or if the in-game personalities will be somewhat independent of the story mode.

By SCV, I mean her gauntlet. It has the same overall premise/aesthetic. She's also wearing significantly more than SC4.

If it's not about skin, what is it then since it's an embellished revision of her first costume? It's still consistent with her look in every other game.

I think the odd thing about Ivy's costume this era is that it obviously harkens back to her original SC1 appearance except she's keeping the boob size and it lacks the over the top-ness of her previous costumes (SC3's all white ensemble, SC4's string section, SC5's snake pauldron and overcoat).
