I don't have to have load though, to know that they were referring to the Amazon.

I'm surprised that this is even a topic.....or an argument.
Personally, it's something about female characters that appeal to me more than men. Even my mains in every fighting game are females (technically not anymore for SCV because of Alpha Patroklos).
Design-wise, I wish they had a perfect balance without making it campy and objectifying. Look at Ivy for instance. Her design on SCIV was all about sex. So much that it seemed forced, as if this was the only thing Soul Calibur IV had going for them. Applied to other designs as well: Shura, Angol Fear, Setsuka, Cassandra, Sophitia, naturally Taki, and slightly Xianghua. Hilde and Scheherazade were the lone exceptions, while others showed the same amount of skin as past games.
SCV, however, had Ivy at that perfect balance. Had skin, but the upper half made her regal. Other female designs were also toned down, especially Natsu compared to her master.
And also if they feel the need to over-sexualize women to make a better sell....then....what about the men? Where's their "slider" at?

Voldo, Algol, & Maxi is enough. That shit's kind of pushing it actually. It's okay for women, but as for men. Put some damn clothes on, lol. Judge me, if you want to.

Sure!
I think I'll always find it difficult to understand what the big deal is there, and I welcome any reasoning such people might have to help me with that.
Actually, you may as well add all the other male characters that show off their chests/upper bodies on the list, so that'd include at least Astaroth, Cervantes, Xiba and Z.W.E.I.

Already I feel a little too uncomfortable, let's get back to women.
