Uhm. Probably http://8wayrun.com/threads/sc5-ivy-story-possibilities-speculation.7122/
They've been dead for a while, though.

Then I'll say it here. 2 things. My opinion on Ivy was that A) her costumes were best in SC3 B) she was my go to character for something complex. Ivy is not my main, so I was never annoyed when she changed. Rather, i Ever enjoyed the challenge of discovering her strengths. Cause I knew that when i could conquer using her, all the more impressive and admirable a player i was. If i could handle Ivy, it warranted pride. I'm one of those vet players that enjoyed Soul Calibur in the days when it was about getting to know your character and weapon. Project Soul seems to be going the other way now, making it more "accessible" :{

That being said, the one thing about Ivy i wished would change, which never did, is her Domination/Dominion Throw (B+G). They tried to make her look sexy so they keep it. But it's nothing a dominatrix would do, you can't even tell what she's doing. It's impractical and awkward with no plausible control upon the opponent. Every installment in which that throw stays is a missed opportunity to have something better. something that actually is sexy, like her "Sweet Dominance", and awe inspiring. improvements could be made if the devs cut sentimental attachments to things that they wish looked cool but dont work. That sums up my opinion of Ivy. But that's just me. Who dissagrees?

This will be a very drastic change, style wise, but I'm pretty much the only one on the Ivy forums who thinks it will be a good/interesting change.

I actually like that throw a lot. It's one of her better throws, animation-wise. I don't like either of her side throws. Her back throw is my favorite. That, and her command B+G grab.
 
I was thinking about Viola's weapon...

Maybe Raphael cut off Amy's fingers so she can't use a sword anymore.
