Soul Calibur's Ivy in the Flesh

One intrepid cosplayer put that incredibly skimpy outfit to the test. Can it really be worn with any modesty?

Despite a solid core fighting engine, Jeff had some pretty specific issues with Soul Calibur IV. Two of them, in fact. And they weren't girded with what you would call good taste. Yes, Ivy has been getting less and less clothed--and less and less modest--with every iteration of Namco Bandai's fighting series. So I thought in light of our review, you'd want to see this cosplayer's attempt to bring the impossible to life. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Yeah, not bad. Decent figure, if not a little thick. Needs more uh... upper body support though.

I was hoping it was going to be a fat dude with a neck-beard.
Oh well, I suppose I can't complain.

That's definitely the SC3 costume. Much less skimpy.

I think it's hilarious how half of these comments are discussing how canon the costume is.

She looks very similar to Ivy, is that the SC3 costume?  I believe the SC4 version is more revealing.

...Surely, this should be the makings of the greatest geek-porn-comedy ever?

At least her boobs apply to the laws of gravity unlike the game's version.

Not quite as perky. Also, you need a gallery feature.

Wow.  I guess modesty IS overrated.  Thanks Brad.

Pretty good costume. Lacking in the double dragon department a bit though.
