*UPDATED* Soulcalibur + Bayonetta = Huh?

While its nothing new that Namco has featured guest character designs in previous Soulcalibur games; this new one its a bit of a surprise, considering the source. In a new report from 1up; it has been announced that Mari Shimazaki has optioned to create three costumes for the game, including Leixia's 1P.

Mari Shimazaki was the character designer who came up with Bayonetta. The 1up article also features a bit more information about how Shimazaki found herself with the job, and a drop from Hisaharu Tago in how Bayonetta was one of their original guest character choices, but was excluded because of time constraints. Future DLC?

I like Tira's 2P a lot, even her hair. The only thing a bit is her "ahoge".
That front picture of Ivy is just... Well, let's say that it's probably one of the few times I really find her extremely seductive. The fluff on her legs do remind me of christmas trees.

 

Wow Tira's outfit is incredible and as much as I despise Ivy she looks good in that gold

 

That reminds me, since here Project Soul seems to be using her 1P hair for her 2P, I really wished they used the long-hair Ivy in one of SC4's concept art. It could make for a nice change.

Something else that I'm wondering. In SC4's character creation one could use all of the character's 2P outfits save for some expections like Algol. It would be quite nice to have access to Tira's 2P in CAS I think.

 

What the hell? Really? Well I guess I can live with these. So Bayonetta might have been the second guest character if they were given more time...guess the game is being rushed after all.

costumes are decent I guess. nothing to fawn over in my case. Ivy though now has returned to showing more skin so not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Tira's hair like others have said is weird, and Leixia's I liked prior to this so nothing new.

I will say that the fur does fit Ivy even if it does make her look a bit tree-ish.

I wonder if this means that we will slowly be getting more and more info about the game and other 2P costumes.

 

The hair totally completes Tira's innocent bitch look. <3

and

IVY IS WEARING PANTS

PRAISE THE LORD

(anywho, nice to see I'm not the only who saw a Jeanne resemblance)

 

I'm actually quite v_ved at these. Same reason for dislike as Bayonetta herself: Generic sexiness!=actually attractive.

I find heels yuchy, same with blatant oversized cleavage. Lexia has an outfit that reeks of "not physically possible".

I don't see how Leixia's outfit isn't physically possible...?

Heels is up to personal taste, i like heels

However, there is nothing NOT possible about Leixia's outfit, it's completely functional o.o

 

Have you looked at it?

Nice, I didn't notice the ahoge at first. I like both of the new outfits, though Ivy's 2p only looks really good in the one frontal screenshot, while the two other ones kinda look tacky. I do think that they should do something different with Ivy's hair for the 2p though too.

look at her hair in the picture where she's giving her father a boot to the head. her hair looks more feathery and layered. there's definitely a difference, even if it's not easily noticable.

 

Make Tira and Ivy guests in Bayonetta 2!

 

It shouldn't be able to support itself like it does (either it's hanging off a non-existant anchor point, or it's starped tight, which is clearly isn't from the way it flexes in gameplay). I don't see how she puts it on or off. The solid parts in the chest area look like they would stab her if she made any serious movements in the upper torso.

 

Tira would look better if her bangs weren't in a clean line...

Ivy would look better if she were wearing a bra or if the jump suit were tighter... just looks weird with her belly button showing, and with every other part of the outfit being tight except for her torso area. Also I can't believe Ivy 1P is the modest outfit...

Leixia would look better if she were shorter or if her legs weren't so long, maybe skinnier too. Costume looks great in the concept art but her proportions are way different in the render.

They're getting a little TOO stylish with these costumes... they're beyond impractical and almost seem impossible.

I don't see how she puts it on or off. The solid parts in the chest area look like they would stab her if she bent down.

The outfit is a tight hold underneath the "petals" that keep the sleeves on, which in fashion is very possible. As for her top, well one, it has a strap right underneath the "petals". How is it staying on her chest.... i doubt this is namco's intention, but for the sole purpose of proving the outfit functional, it could simply have a built in bra. Simple as that.

 

^ A bra with rigid pointy edges.

^^ skinnier

What? The 4'10 90 pounder needs to weight LESS?

 

How in the world would Ivy's 2p look after armor break?! Will we see a nakey Christmas tree?!

 

First i was like: =,D *dream coming true*

When i checked out this thread: =,C

And then i was like: Ivy.... *omnnomnom*

 

Ivy's costume seems to be an especial DLC for holyday season as SCVIV did with one package with female and male suits, it's ok for me, Tira looks really hot with that internal clothes the onl thing wrong of her whole costume is her uncovered crest ,
