10 Video Game Characters Fans OBSESSED Over
8. Ivy Valentine - Soul Calibur
The Soul Calibur series centres around a group of warriors seeking a soul-stealing sword called the Soul Edge.
Like most fighting games, Soul Calibur has a highly varied roster, which includes a golem, a ghost pirate, a floating eyeball, Darth Vader, and whatever the hell Voldo is. Despite this eclectic ensemble, the one combatant that stands out is Isabella "Ivy" Valentine.
She may be a bit of a nightmare to master, but that hasn't stopped the Machiavellian alchemist from becoming Soul Calibur's poster girl.
Ivy is obviously renowned for her buxom figure, but she's so much more than that. Because of her tragic backstory, commanding voice, quotable put-downs and totally impractical armour, you can see why she's captivated players.
But the coolest thing about Ivy is her signature weapon. Her snakesword is a metallic blade that can split apart, transforming into a razor-sharp whip. Once you get the hang of the combos, you'll bear witness to some of most creative moves ever.
Even though Ivy is often simplified as a mere sex symbol, she is one of the coolest and most complex characters in the entire fighting genre.
