New Soul Calibur IV ladies

Namco have unveiled 2 brand new characters for their forthcoming Soul title: Goth lolita inspired robot girl Ashlotte and dual Katana wielding beauty Shura, as well as revealing the new look for Soul Calibur III’s Setsuka. It seems big breasts are the watch word for the ladies of Soul Calibur, more so in installment number 4 than ever. Setsuka’s rack has been upgraded to drastic levels just like Ivy’s were and Shura has a big old rack too. Ashlotte’s are quite small and modest, but she is an android and a young one at that. Not that this would stop Namco mind you. They had no qualms about having Xianghua’s big ol’ teenage rack swinging around in Soul Calibur 1.
I’m loving the dual katana wielding chick. Easily one of the best looking new characters so far. It’s probably because she reminds me so much of Taki, who has been my fave character in the Soul series since Soul blade. And also because she reminds me of Psylocke from X-Men – who I’ve always liked and favoured in the Capcom games she featured in.
The character models on the ladies look great (as always), but I still have a nagging issue with the girls all having the same big eyes, round face and zero ethnicity. Setsuka looks like a white woman and not Japanese at all. Shura is the only character I’ve seen in this game with some ethnicity to her facial features. She looks more like Taki than Taki herself because of it.
It’s look as though Soul Calibur IV will have the biggest character roster of them all, which is great. But I just hope Namco balances them all correctly and has them all fight uniquely – because many of the new characters share similar weapons and look to have similar disciplines to the veterans.

Well the lady with the umbrella looks like some sort of psycho, reminds me of bad girl on No More Heroes. The gothic lolita is ok I guess but they laid on the gothic aspect too think for my taste. I think I’ll stay with Talim as far as the females of SC go.
The normal one in Black leather looks decent.
I stay with Soul Calibur II from the game cube.
The characters now seem very mmm weird
You said it Angel!
Just for the record, Setsuka (the woman with the umbrella) while having a japanese name, is not japanese. That is why she doesn’t appear to have any ‘ethnicity.’
have you actually looked at the faces of the characters? because if you had you would know that they don’t have generic faces, tira for example has wild crazed eyes and a small oval face that makes her seem like a wild animal, Talim has a very round face, with huge circular eyes, ivy has a hard look with a large head…should i continue?
I personally like hot girls with big breasts!! And sure setsuka looks white but think she looks better white than she did in soul calibur 3. And shura looks like taki but thats fine with me as well as the other soul calibur 4 girls. But they made some of the other characters that I personally dont like at all such as voldo!
But… Setsuka isn’t even supposed to be Japanese. Though she wad adopted by a Japanese person?
Though it’s a relief that they finally have someone who doesn’t seem to sport a H cup for once.
But…I can barely see skin on Ashlotte too. xD;
setsuka look swhite because she is white lol. she was raised by a japanese guy wich is sad tht i know this but i was obsessed with sc 3 and read up LOL
