Soul Calibur IV Announced (With Video)

[Roto13]

Ivy was fun to use in Soul Calibur 2, but they kill her in SC3. Not that she was bottom tier or completely unusable, in fact, in the right hands she could be just as deadly. But I really didn't like the new playstyle, her stances just didn't flow like they used to. I had to learn too much to readjust. Same story with Talim.

Except Talim was bottom tier and completely unusable.

Source unknown, but it's most likely EGM methinks.

Tira's new face displeases me, but that could just be the angle. I hope she changes a lot, gameplay-wise, though. She wasn't very useful in SC III.

I read that Talim was a mid tier character...

I don't know if it's true.

But she certainly did excel when using constant Mids.

I haven't seen a tier list for III in a while, but I find that hard to believe. :P

Tiras new look is cool, very interesting I think! Although I'm disappointed it's not an extension on the green and purple look, I mean this outfit does look a bit like a 2p.
I love the whole new look of it all, I NEED MOAR TRAILERS!!!

Tira's new outfit has a kind of 'Kingdom Hearts' look, to me. Though it's good that it's influenced by real historical clothing, if only slightly (the trousers).

Siegfried's full plate is largely unchanged, which is to be expected; Misturugi's costume seems virtually identical, too.

Maybe it's just me, but Taki's bodysuit looks even more painted-on than the last time.

As for Ivy... lass needs to put on some clothes. I'm no expert on such things, but I can't really see how that outfit would remain decent for more than a few moments.
