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