![]() He wields Kafziel, cutting down his opponents and everyone who is in his path to power with a unique style and fierce determination. While he was exiled from the clan for breaking their sacred laws, Zasalamel nonetheless managed to discover the secret of reincarnation, making him a mighty magician and dangerous foe. He was born into a clan called Guardians of the Spirit Sword charged with protecting the legendary swords Soul Calibur and Soul Edge. Zasalamel: First introduced in SOULCALIBUR III, the scythe-wielding Zasalamel returns for SOULCALIBUR VI. She combines Western European sword with Eastern European whip techniques, making her attacks graceful and absolutely deadly at the same time. Since then, she thirsts for revenge and wants to destroy the cursed sword that took the lives of her parents, using her alchemy skills to craft a weapon tailored to her needs. Ivy’s father was driven mad and finally died while researching the history of Soul Edge with her mother following not long after. Ivy Valentine is one of the most beloved characters of the series, wielding the Ivy Blade, a magical sword that can be transformed into a barbed whip in the blink of an eye. The late-but-great David Bowie would be proud.Bandai Namco Entertainment continue to ‘tease’ details about the latest edition of SOUL CALIBUR and today the publisher have confirmed that fan favourite Ivy Valentine and relatively familiar character who made his debut in SOUL CALIBUR III, Zasalamel, will join the list of playable characters in SOUL CALIBUR VI. Her 2P outfit on the other hand is a little too nutjob-ey, though it pays tribute to glam rock. She got the nutjob alchemist noblewoman look down pat. It has the purple motif down pat, the lacey outfit, and a covered top half with the coat bits and the gauntlet-pauldron combo. Soulcalibur V’s Ivy does look better in retrospect. Soulcalibur V (2012)Īfter many complaints, the designers decided to actually make an effort to balance Ivy’s noble upbringing and risque fashion sense into one package. After all, Soulcalibur IV featured Yoda and Darth Vader a clear sign that there’s not much of a direction going on in the Project Soul team. One wonders if at this point the series has jumped the shark. Her 2P outfit looks like she came out of Beverly Hills all that’s missing is an obnoxious giant frilly hat made out of panda fur. The grey laces on her one piece “swimsuit” are gone so now she’s showing more pale skin that needed. That dragon she probably murdered in Soulcalibur III can probably make a nest in between her comically large bosom. Hey, if you have to mourn, might as well go all out and steal the dead show. Her 2P outfit seems on point, if she plans on going to her opponent’s funeral after multiple stabbings. I think she murdered a dragon to get those edges for her left pauldron-gauntlet hybrid. Now Ivy’s clad in white with some purple-ish stripes to go along with it. 21 after she’s done kicking Cervantes’ deadbeat ass.īoob job technology in the 16th century has come a long way, at least in this universe. She looks like she could perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. Apart from that, not much has changed though the purple shadings are of a lighter colour. It turns out that the 16th century did have a black market silicon implant operation, because almost all the women in this entry are stacked like Canadian pancake servings. So how did her ensemble (d)evolve over the years? Let’s go to exhibit B. Let’s also not forget her more classed-up 2P outfit. I personally dig the simplicity of this outfit that reflects the disturbed and broken nature of this character. Snide remarks aside, Bandai Namco kept true to her OG outfit for part VI. The purple colour, the left arm pauldron clearly she’s dressed for battle and protecting what counts. The first draft definitely felt drafty for her. Set your cringe-o-meter to max, if you have to. To pay tribute to the return of Soulcalibur’s titular lady in purple, let’s take a look back at her outfits in past Soulcalibur games from the late 90s until now. “Since her first appearance, she has become one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in the franchise, mainly due to her snake sword, large breasts, revealing clothing, and silver hair. Plus, she wouldn’t be an iconic Soulcalibur character if she didn’t look like how she was and is now, snake sword and all. Yeah, Ivy’s outfit does leave little to the imagination but to be fair, her fashion sense has seen its low points in the past series. If this is your first time seeing this lady in action, you’re probably thinking whether her dress sense has a place in 2018. ![]()
