SCV Costumes Designed by Bayonetta Character Designer

SCV Costumes Designed by Bayonetta Character Designer

None

It turns out that many of the SoulCalibur V character costumes were designed by Mari Shimazaki the same person who did character design for Bayonetta. In fact, Bayonetta herself was considered as a guest character for SCV, but in the end she just didn’t make the cut. Unfortunately, the attacks with her hair were just far too elaborate to animate in the game engine.



Here is what project producer Hisaharu Tago said about the situation. “The SoulCalibur series has a lot of very beautiful women, so Bayonetta was of course considered. However, Bayonetta not only uses a weapon but also special magical attacks that were beyond the project’s limit at the time of selecting, so this time she was taken off of the list.”

So we are just going to have to deal with the super sexy outfits for Leixia, Tira, and Ivy instead.
