Discussion Since SC6 is a soft reboot, in the next game should they make Ivy have Semi-immortality? Cause a small scene from SC4 haunts me š³
Okay I don't want to make a very long post like last time, but considering that Ivy is alchemist scientist who's trying to avenge her adopted rich noble parents. In the lore it gives hints several times that she indeed does alchemy experiments on herself and she creates a magical living sword-wip that connects to her in a supernatural way, which leads me to believe that Ivy is sorta a "Super human" and in the universe of soulcalibur where magical zombie pirate, lizardmen, supernatural creatures, immortal man with scyth and a literal demon exist! It is plausible that Ivy probably used her adopted father's alchemy experiments on herself! Reminder Ivy's adopted father was attempting to obtain immortality thru alchemy (btw many fiction depicts this type of story of "attempting immortality thru alchemy" cause it literally happened in real life!)
Reason why I think Ivy should infact have somewhat immortality or Semi-immortality is because i find it very odd that a beautiful attractive woman who is a scholar from noble family, has no martial training nor combat experience/ history prior to the soulcalibur series events. If you guys think about the soulcalibur roaster on paper Ivy should be doomed from the start because she is up against war veterans, experience knights, grizzle samurai, monk that was trained from youth and has supernatural ability, undead gaint that violence, deadly lizardmen, a assassin, crazy assassin with bi-polar disorder, a crazed serial killer, a literal zombie pirate, a multidimensional demon etc etc...
The picture I posted is from soulcalibur 4 which originally it was supposed to be the last story for the soulcalibur franchise. That scene where Ivy is fighting against Hilde haunts me, because if you study that scene carefully, you quickly notice how Ivy failed to sneak attack hilde and almost immediately hilde started to dominate the fight forcing Ivy to go on defense and distance herself from hilde, Ivy tries to dominate hilde with range attack but hilde without struggle deflects and attempted to kill Ivy with her spear which Ivy manages to dodge (but she noticeably stumble) gets herself corner at a cliff with volcano š activity happening around them.
if you think about it, it's basically two women are attempting unalive each other, but also shows how one-sided this fight was. The fight obvious favor the women who is well trained, has martial training, and she is wearing armor from head to toe, came with TWO weapons and looks like she is ready for war! Meanwhile the other women (Ivy) is practically wearing a thong dress like she came out of BDSM s#x party and despite she has a magical sword-wip, her situation and the environment that she was in, makes her look like she has death-wish. I've seen some hilarious youtube video where they commented on Hilde vs Ivy fight scene saying "what happen if hilde cuts Ivy's breast" which if you think about that is definitely plausible for Ivy's clothing.
Welp this my rant, what you guys think?
