Umm, ok? Then don't call it a re-design?
Sorry bruh but if you're the type that gets upset at someone else's own choice of words towards something like this then we've got nothing else to talk about. It's not even that serious. I'm not battling someone towards what's the right word to use for a fighting game character's design lol.

God bless you but nah, this is the internet. I'm out of this thread lol.

(minus 3, couldn't never find a copy when I finally got a PS2 :().
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but I had a lot of fun with SCIII! If you ever have the opportunity you should at least try the game out. The single player modes are fantastic and the Create A Soul feature, though it didn't have as much options as they do know, had custom movesets that only those characters could use and it was awesome!

Some of y'all are whack. Skimpier outfit? Pedophiles? Game looks trash? Ps2 animations?
Some really like to create pseudo drama where there is none.
Game looks amazeballs and it's my nr.1 game for 2018.
I hope the game sells great since I feel Project Soul is giving it's best shot with this one and hopefully it's not their last.
She has slits in her shorts and visible underwear now. It *is* skimpier. Its not a good look for Bamco.

Its not the biggest deal either but we're allowed to call that kinda thing out. On Ivy its one thing - she's an adult character - but with Talim its questionable.

FUCK YES!!!

I'm there day one now.

That's my fighter!!!

She doesn't look much like a Filipina though, she also doesn't have the skin color we usually have here. Hopefully her background has more to do with the Philippines?

Not familiar with her but she seems really great, love the design and the general look of the game too.

She looks good, move wise. But that outfit is lame. The fact she has underboob and slits in her shorts, Bandai Namco, what you sippin'? She's a minor (don't give me the 1000 year old wizard trope) and her SCII outfit was completely fine without being perverted. So sad SC has gone in this direction.

She's been whitewashed and got more sexualized (despite being a minor). She even has a stupid "huh?" face compared to previous designs. Yeeeesh.

at least one decent design in this game.

edit: but it's still not very good.
Her design was better in Soulcalibur 2.

Her design looks like a mix of SC2 and SC4 when it really should've been based off SC3's 1P costume.

I didn't felt that bad because people said at that time SC2 was better and 3 was kinda ¿buggy? can't remember exactly... But yeah I ended forgetting about it. I should probably try to get it...

I like the SLAP on her hits in this. I liked using her in SC2 but something always felt unsatisfying in her hits.

Namco always getting hit with the "PS2 animations" complaint. Which ends up being more of an accidental compliment because they nailed the SC and Tekken animations so well early on that the moves always look familiar despite being reanimated.


it's a dumb SC community meme.

Not sure if Aris jokes about it, but if he does, expect it to be badly parroted by the 1000s of randos who watch him.

Namco sure isn't helping by giving her two washcloths for clothes, but I just ignore these things these days lol

Meh. No much hype for her. Still waiting for Yun Seong.

I'm glad for Talim fans though her newer designs / appearances continuing to get sexualized is pretty disappointing

Her design looks like a mix of SC2 and SC4 when it really should've been based off SC3's 1P costume.

Her SC4 costume always seemed like an intentional return to her SC2 design but I definitely agree. Her SC3 design was always way better and it would have been cooler if they took cues from that design instead

This is true. She doesn't look like a Filipina whatsoever. They didn't even get our skin color right. Is there anything in her background that indicates she's from the Philippines?

I wouldn't be surprised if they retcon it and make her 18. I mean, there isn't exactly any reason why she has to be 14, right?

I like the character, less how they're portraying her.

I'm still really baffled at just how hard SCVI is going in on some of these designs, but Talim's fanservice with even more exposed skin definitely is making me a bit uncomfortable.

Not sure why they whitewashed her too.

Still my favorite design for her.

Oh man, she really has been whitewashed. I didn't notice until now. :-/

Edit: Actually, looking back (via a Google search) I noticed that she's always been light-skinned in-game. The character key art only depicted her as slightly more tan.

This design is fantastic. She looks cool. She looks smiling and confident and ready to kick ass, not with that dumb "huh?" deer-in-headlight moeblob look. She's not white. She's wearing actual pants. That look like they wouldn't just fall off from gravity/just standing still.

That new design is awful, and when you compare to the SC3 one, it becomes even more obvious.

Sent this to one of my friends right away. He is not a gamer but he always loved playing Soul Calibur and Talim was his go to character in 4 and he was heartbroken about her not being in 5(chose Natsu in her stead).

Can't wait for the game to come out.

Damn! The game looks great!

I haven't played a Soul Calibur game since SCII. I'll definite buy this.

I'm liking the SCVI logo too!

Talim's redesign has me conflicted. On one hand, the logistics of her shorts are laughable, and the bra showing underboob is tasteless and dumb. On the other hand, while her design in IV did not show off the breasts as much, her pants were see-through and had her entire lower body visible. Compared to that very design, I also do not agree she has been whitewashed for this particular entry. That change was made for SCIV and simply - and sadly - never reversed.

If it's going to be skimpy, can it at least not be stupid? What kind of super glue is keeping her pants up?

Not exactly surprisingly she is that sexualized, considering what everyone else looks like.
And considering what their nearest competitor was doing with Marie Rose, of course they are going to try and capitalize on that as well.

Her design is awful in that one, and I enjoyed everyone's else design. If feels like a really out of place sexualization

Right, that about does it for me. I can't believe they ruined it with a sexualised outfit. So, this will be the first Soul Calibur game I have no intention of buying. Sorry Bamco. It was fun, but I cannot abide by so much backwards-ass sexualisation.
