So unrealistic it hurts, so wrong it blinds. I don't know what Soul Caliber creators were thinking... oh yes I do; "Our main audience is people who just hit puberty."

I like the concept of selecting body types... I'd love to see a pear shaped bald monk. Friar Tuck FTW!

Anyway, yeah. Being able to select a unique body would be nice as it would set characters apart a bit more. /vote

Becoming physically ill due to nudity of anyone shows an instability that needs to be looked at by a leading physician. Or an over-exageration...

The demon slayer ninja Taki was never my favorite in the Soul series (I'm more of a Rock/Astaroth smash and ring out player) but i do love some of her character designs, particularly the player 2 blue outfit in Soul Calibur for DC.
But i digress...Taki bounces around way too much to be really effective, and her upgrade from Soul Calibur to Soul Calibur 2 with the 20lbs of fat on the chest didn't really impress me much.
Oh well....when one of your primary competitors (Dead or Alive) INVENTED the bouncing breasts physics in video games, i guess you need to match to stay or compete properly.
If Anet's Assassin looked like Taki, i think there would be a whole lot less complaints from the male demographic, sadly.

I kinda think the assassins are hot, maybe I'm the only one that thinks small boobs are more attractive than big ones.

OMG. It is evident to me from all the "bouncing breasts" comments that the majority of you are male. I've always thought that was the case, but you have all just confirmed it.
FYI: Breasts bouncing around HURTS, the bigger they are the more it HURTS. I've not much in the way of curves myself (10+ years of competitive gymnastics does that to you) and even I won't get on a treadmill or go for a run without a supportive bra.
As I said previously, the assassins could do with a little more meat, especially in the upperbody - muscle development ONLY - and maybe a little on the legs. However even then I've nothing against it. A lot of you obviously have no idea precisely what a chronic anorexic looks like, so I suggest you google the term and check out the images. Since I'm NOT seeing a bones drapped in skin when I look at the assassin, and I'm even seeing (OMG) muscle definition, I honestly think there is nothing wrong with the assassin, except for the hairstyles
BTW can Anet fix the male characters. I don't get turned on by pixels, but even by general standards the male characters aren't eye-candy, and I say its about time that the myself and the rest of the ladies who play this game got some eye-candy.

Please excuse the assasin for having a high basal metabolic rate, an exercise regime and the lifestyle of a physical fighter for burning off all the fat that men find so attractive. its a game character, it does not have any metabolic rate or exercise regime, pointless arguement

Elektra -- World Famous Female assassin...
Nevin
Basically what I've learned from this thread is, a bunch of dudes and a few self concious girls want asssassins to be like rangers; heck you guys probably want some kinda of grind dance to boot too. Seriously based off of the way people in this thread act; I can only imagine how you are in real life seeing a not so curvey women walking infront of you "Holy crap she has no hips, I can't look at her, TURN AWAY!!!!"
P.S. that Elektra looks more like a porn star then an assassin.

I don't even know if you've bothered to read the thread because I'm pretty sure that I stated that being 5'6 and 105 lbs - people have always thought I AM anorexic - and the assassin is pretty much how I've looked for years until recently. She DOES look way too skinny and thats not some "self conscious, OMG look away!!!!" opinion that you seem to think people here have. As other people said, we DO have to play these characters if we'd like to when the games come out and happen to want to be able to look at the characters without thinking they need to eat a pack of chocolate donuts! No matter what her profession, she shouldnt look like she eats once a day - the ritualist SURE doesnt look skinny and underfed like the assassin does.
Most here just want her to have SOME sort of definition that makes her LOOK like a female - in my opinion, she looks asexual and barely different than the male, which would NOT be the purpose of having two genders. No, not by giving her "big breasts" and a bigger butt or what not - like others have said, some upper body definition would be nice and so would a bit of curves.
I also agree allience that the assassin does have a rigid movement but she is supposed to be an assassin - swift and stealth movement, so she might walk a little funny. Honestly, seeing her run made me laugh.

Thank you lady kesha. Nevin seems to think that we all want all the female characters to look like a strippers and porn stars. That's not the case. We just don't want them to look like underfed 12 year old boys.

To be honest I don't know why we cant have more choice in body types. Why does each class have just 1 body style, why cant I take a ranger body with a warrior profession, is it really that hard?
Some people like the skinny body, some don't. I play female warrior, just because I don't like the steriod induced football player look. The male necro is just ewwwww!!!!!. The male ranger I like and I have one. So why can't we first pick a body type, then the features, then the profession, then armor? Is it really that difficult?

only i have to agree. the female assasin isnt a beaty.. and bigger hips and upperlegs. some more breast would help. and i dont want comments like: you are all litlle kiddies in puberty etc.. and yest im 14 year old! and i also have to say that if the assasin would like like a pornstar i also would play it...
just more fat and weight on her legs, hip and chest..

I think it's realistic that the Assasins are skinny and lithe in game. Dont get me mistaken for one of those reality stiklers but it does make the assasins a lot more believable and authentic if you ask me.

Lyra makes some generalizations based on this thread and other threads like it....
Theres nothing wrong with liking breasts. o.o;;
Theres nothing wrong with disliking the look of the assassin.
A majority of people dislike the assassin's build.
A few people like the assassin's build.
Assassins walk and run funny. ^^;;
A lot of people would like a slight appearance change. (Maybe in a patch, because the character model is already in all the game CDs)
People want their assassin to look like the cover girl, Nika.
No Anet officials have said anything about the numerous complaints.

EDIT AFTER READING SOME OF THE POSTS HERE: The discussion at the last pages of the thread (5-6) moved to breast size. That was not the point of this thread, I was not talking about that.
My whole point is the skinny, boney body. If you look at an Assassin from the side, you can actually imagine her ouside stomach skin touching the inside of her back skin.
Also please be civil since there are ladies here among the readers of the forums.
Thank you

Thank you i agree with you.
but the looks of some1 and also from ladys the breast also say something about your looks.
a women with HUGE boobs will be more seen like a porn star..
and ladys with normal breast will be called well.. ladys
im sorry if i insult any of you ladys with any of my sayings. couse breast size doesnt bother me.
but what would you want.. a assasin like this or one like the covermodel nika...
Miakoda
As a Male, I have no problem with the Assassin looks, it's actually refreshing to not not have another Porn model.
Plenty of girls AND women have a skinny frame "Ectomorph", and plenty of Males do too, remember Bruce Lee? go look at some of his old footage, pay close attention to his ankle and wrist thickness, yet he is still one of the Biggest Icons in Martial Arts and a lot of fitness freaks look up to him still.
He was not ill, and neither are some of the thinner people I know, however you could easily tell the difference, look at that pic above that IS someone ill
and not healthy.
You won't find many Lightning quick large built people thats for sure.

because you can't be stealthy and have breasts that big. It's just not possible. Seriously though the lithe body style is more common amongb martial artists then you would think. Martial arts do not rely on huge amounts of muscle power but instead on the economical use of body weight and momentum to increase the power of your blows. An example of this would be putting ones body weight behind a punch by turning your lead foot into the blow. Couple this more efficient usage of body mechanics with a knowledge of anatomy and you end up with a deadly fighter. A more muscle bound character, like a warrior , would not be able to accomplish the assassin skills since they rely on precise strikes and fast movement which bulky muscle is not capable of, at least not in an efficient manner.

wel that pictures just look like a wannabee assasin porn model.. just weak and perverted..

Well, I think there isn't possible to make character looking like Shiro either. If they want to keep story character unique isn't that good thing.

Well, when ever we talk about body types and curves or lack there of, breasts and hips will come up.
Men are biologically attracted to curves, the traditional symbol of valetines has nothing to do with internal organs, the curves on cars are there for a reason...hint it's not aerodynamics.
but we should avoid getting to graphic anyway.
What I find intereesting is there is a similar discssion about the Rit, have to many pixels (if you know what I mean), and her we have one about not enough.
What was interesting there was one woman felt that the men could use a little more in the cod piece.
Some like the skinny build some don't.
What about this, I've seen some pretty muscled (large women), there's an old family legend of my great grandmother looking for her son and finding him beaten half to death by his co-workers for being on the oposite side of a political issue, she went back the next day with a solid hickory rolling pin, and beat them all.
As much as I like my wammo, she seems a little small to weilding a hammer.

Off topic a bit, but I too, wouldn't mind a more muscular female warrior.
As for the Assassin, I think the main problem is how different she is from the cover. If the cover more reflected the actual in game skin, then I think people would at least expect what they are getting.
I'll go back to my original point I made close to the beginning the the thread: the best solution would to be offer more body styles, besides just altering the height of our character. Star Wars Galaxies, although a crappy game, had one of the best model builders I've played in a demo (even better than City of Heroes...) What you could do to their faces was amazing, especially considering all the races they had.

I don't see anything wrong with the assassin. Lithe and maybe even battle-hardened. A large bosom would just get in the way and if you want the big ta-tas, the Ritualist will make up for it. The faces for both M and F need work though.

Well... you guys are debating the attractiveness of a collection of polygons in a video game. Careful with all the "you need help" talk.
