Soul Calibur VI: Barefoot Sophitia is BACK!

Sophitia jumps back into the fight feet first...

Soul Calibur VI just got revealed recently, and this early we got nice foot-age of the lovely Sophitia Alexandra fighting bare-legged and barefooted in-game. Armor breaks are back, and thankfully its Sophie who demonstrates this feature, getting her armored leggings shattered off to reveal her silky long legs and feet (as opposed to us seeing Mitsurugi's silky legs and feet...). There's quite a bit of barefoot Sophie in the 10-minute or so clip, so enjoy it, even if the subtitles do get in the way occasionally.

My only gripes of course is that, well, SC's character models have never had good, detailed foot models. The shape is off, sometimes a bit to narrow or small, the toes are edged and polygonal, and there are no skin textures to speak of. With Tekken 7 having the best-looking bare feet, toes and soles I've seen in gaming yet, hopefully Soul Calibur will follow suit. They are using Unreal Engine 4 as well after all.

No word either on if Character Creation will return, but I'm sure that the devs would be insane to take off such a mega-popular feature. It is awesome at least we get to see barefoot babes in this just-announced game so early. AND its coming to PC as well.

The game is set for release sometime in 2018. Here's to it coming sooner, rather than later. For now, enjoy the video!

Tekken 7 (PC): Best Videogame Soles Ever?

New Tekken beauty Josie Rizal shows she's got SOLE.

TEKKEN 7 HAS ARRIVED!

DAAAAAAMN it was a freakin' long wait. Indeed, we've been waiting since 2012 for a good, proper Tekken game. Yes, even if Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was overall a disappointment with its downgraded Character Customization and the shortage of barefoot customizations, it DID give us the sexy, barefoot Angel and Unknown, plus let us have a shoeless (and definitely female) Leo Kliesen. After that came the rather barren Tekken Revolution, and we chafed for a real Tekken game to arrive and treat us with proper sexy barefoot brawling.

Now it's here! Tekken 7 is now out for Xbox One, PS4 (and PS4 PRO) and PC. The game looks AMAZING, and is surely the most gorgeous-looking Tekken ever, and certainly a superior port. Huge, detailed character models moving at silky-smooth 60FPS with the most refined fighting action ever in the series are on offer here, and a host of lovely ladies to de-boot with Character Customization. We can, right?

Well, as we've been mentioning for all these past weeks, the Character Customization in Tekken 7 is a mixed bag. Yes, it's very similar to Tekken Tag 2's dumbed-down customs, with the bottoms lumped together with footwear and with most items being common to everyone save a few unique items. But thankfully for us footfans, there are barefoot options for pretty much everyone. The bad news is that half of the Tekken Girls will apparently need to wait a bit for the barefoot Tropical Bikini costumes to be added later as DLC.


Be sure to watch the vids in 60FPS HD to see these sexy babes best...

As of right now though, we have three beautiful brawlers' soles to enjoy- our favorite leg model Lili Rochefort, adorable android Alisa Bosconovitch, sassy Brazilian Katarina Alves, Filipina cutie Josie Rizal and the peppy Lucky Chloe. Katarina is the only one with a full-body swimsuit costume as of yet, which is probably the sexiest outfit in the game. But of course, my fave is still Lili with her rather flashy Bikini Skirt (legs for DAYS!).

And I can readily say, Tekken 7 has easily the best-looking, sexiest feet and soles EVER in the series. The ladies' toes and soles look amazing, lifelike and detailed, and look great even up close (and the camera gets quite close in many of the moves and attacks, thanks to a very energetic camera).  Lots of nice, pause-worthy moments... which makes the 60FPS animation such a godsend. Heh...

So far the fighting action is great, and the videos are already online at the Youtube Channel. Tekken 7 is sure to be a mainstay with us from here on, along with our other favorite fighters. And we're hoping it only gets better from here. Hopefully we get Asuka and the other babes out of their boots and showing sole soon enough.


We see countless barefoot brawls and sexy KOs to come!

For now though, enjoy the vids. Have you got your Tekken 7 yet? Get yours now!

Confirmed Barefoot Customizations in Tekken 7 (Home Version)

Tekken 7 is OUT! Well, actually, it isn't officially... but some places, like Peru, have broken street date and not a lot of gamers are streaming Namco-Bandai's latest and greatest KOIFT game online and spoiling things for impatient Tekken fans the world over.

Well, we have to wait a few days more for the release of the PC version, but I think it'll be worth it. I did take a look at some non-spoilery vids, such as the one above. It shows off the currently-available customizations for most (Eliza not included) of the fighters in the game. I say 'currently' because it is quite obvious that many items which exist in the arcade version (and should by all rights be in the home game as well) as as yet missing. These include the swimsuits (including the all-important Tropical Bikini) for both females and males. I assume these items will be added post-launch by a patch, or offered as DLC content; the Season Pass after all mentions 'more additional costumes'.

That aside though, all is not lost. There ARE barefoot customizations for our lovely Tekken babes available in the game out of the box, although not for all of them. So who got left out of the bus and who will be barefootin' it on Tekken 7's launch week?

The Bad News first- Asuka Kazama, Nina Williams, Master Raven, Kazumi Mishima and Ling Xiaoyu (and Leo Kliesen if you still consider the character female) all have NO unique barefoot customization options as of yet. I'm really not sure why that is so- does the Tekken Team draw lotteries to see who can go barefoot or not in every Tekken game? Is there some sort of unwritten law? It can't be by age with Asuka and Ling being grouped with the other ladies... I really can't figure it out.

Anyway, the Good News: Lili Rochefort, Alisa Bosconovitch, Lucky Chloe, Josie Rizal and Katarina Alves each have one barefoot customization option.

Alisa has a barefooted skirt called the 'Peach Beach Skirt'.

Josie Rizal and Lucky Chloe both have P1 Bare Feet customization, allowing them to go shoeless in their default bottoms.

Sassy Katarina has a full-body customization called 'No Summer Dress', which refers to her Summer Dress oufit. Equipping No Summer Dress leaves Kat in just a fancy two-piece swimsuit and her sexy, lethal bare feet.

Finally, Lili has her uber-sexy 'High Class Bikini Skirt', a lower body customization which pretty much goes perfectly with any top. This pretty much shoots up her hotness waaay over Asuka (who is just a frumpy hag compared to her hahaha). Can you say upskirts every time she moves? LOL

So out of the box, about half of the female cast can go barefoot- half can't. That should be remedied by the addition of the Tropical Bikini costume, which we may have to wait for a bit. But thankfully, even this early I can easily say that at least Tekken 7 is miles away a much better game for footfans than Tekken Tag 2 was, and thanks to the sexier outfits, a notch above our longtime favorite, Tekken 6.

Man, I can't wait for June 2! Have you preordered your Tekken 7 yet?

Okatsu (Nioh)

The lovely, agile Okatsu is Nioh's 23rd boss... and one hot barefoot babe!

UPDATE: Replaced video link above to a version including cutscene cinematic after the fight.

Now this is a wonderful find. The samurai-themed epic, Nioh, is being sold as a pretty demanding, Dark Souls-esque Action RPG. From what I have seen, you can only play as a male hero in this deep slasher, but there are quite a few lovely ladies in the game.

For starters, there is a barefoot ice maiden or Yuki-onna boss you face off with which was shown off some time ago. Now there's a pair of cold feet any footfan will love to warm up, heheh.

But now, I have just discovered another barefoot babe in Nioh- the sexy ninja-like beauty, Okatsu.

Still not sure about her exact role in the story, but apparently you will be facing off against Okatsu at some point as she is the 23rd boss in the game. Now, Okatsu isn't always barefooted- she wears boots as part of her usual outfit (as seen in her intro cutscene). However, when you face off with her in the boss fight above, she fights barefooted, which is awesome. Also, take note of the awesome cutscene after with some wonderful footie action from this gorgeous kunoichi. Needless to say, it is certainly a treat for foot-loving gamers! Well, we can expect no less from Team Ninja... Heheh.

I didn't have plans to get this game, but now I am seriously considering it, just to have this boss fight with this barefoot beauty. Once I do, I'll be sure to post vids on my channel. For now though, you can check out Okatsu in action in the vid above.

Yuki-Onna (Nioh)

This Icy maiden's feet are both cold AND hot!

The upcoming samurai-themed Action RPG Nioh from Tecmo is looking awesome. With deep fighting action and punishing difficulty, this is sure to appeal to hack-and-slash fans. But thankfully, there's also some treats for foot-lovers in it as well. One of the bosses is a beautiful female ice spirit or Yuki-Onna. who is barefooted. Ala Elsa from Frozen, she even has a nice foot-stomping move that spreads her icy coldness in a wide radius. You may need to pause the cutscene vid to see her nice, icy feet, and the fast action isn't given to closeups. Still, it's nice to see some hot soles from a gorgeous lady mixed in with all those oriental creatures and mythological monsters to be faced in Nioh.

Check out the video above for some sexy, cold yet hot feet! Heheh...

King of Fighters XIV: Luong Action!

We take on KOF's newest and sexiest femme fatale.

The King of Fighters franchise has never been a good source of barefoot babes- in terms of footfan faves, SNK has few overall- usually just Mai Shiranui when she goes half-barefoot in the Real Bout games. So it was with quite a bit of excitement that I looked forward to the latest King of Fighters game- King of Fighters XIV. ONE new barefoot babe- just ONE. But, well, she's hot.

She's the sexy and seductive Luong from the Kim Team. Described as the lover of Kim's mentor Gang-Li, Luong has all the signs of a temptress- from her slinky features to her limber fighting style, this lady is no newbie and quite the player. Her outfit isn't overly skimpy- in fact, she's pretty much covered up all over- except for the parts we like- basically her toes, heels and, well, most of her soles. Her super attack (or final?) is hot as heck, and I really dig her design. Definitely hotter than Chae Lim or Momo (other barefoot babes in the whole KOF series so far), and she does give Mai Shiranui a run for her money. Here's to her appearing again in future KOFs. For now though, you can see her on the PS4 brawler (which is sporting some nicer visuals thanks to the latest patch).

Tekken 7 Barefoot Retribution! Barefoot Bikinis FINALLY Come to Tekken! (UPDATED with VIDEO!)

Lili's Intros, Winposes and Cutscenes in her Bikinis.

AAAAND THERE IT IS! At long last, after so many frustration, barefoot fans can now rest easy- barefoot bikinis have come to Tekken. Specifically, Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, in the latest update to the latest arcade version of the Iron-fisted fighting game series. In the latest update patch, which also added the rotund Bob into the playable roster, new customization items with a Summer theme have been added. In addition to various bits and bobs you can attach to your fighter, the females can now have access to 'Tropical Bikinis' that finally show off not just their sexy curves and quite a bit of skin, but also fully bare their beautiful soles and toes. Previously, the bikini outfit available came with sandals (straight from Tekken Tag 2) and were just... ARGH.

This is the first time that barefoot swimwear has been added to Tekken in-game; previously, barefoot customization was available in Tekken 6, but with no swimsuit outfits. Tekken Tag 2 gave us swimsuits, but those came with sandals for the female fighters- truly disappointing.

Anyway, I am quite certain that the Tropical Bikini has been seen quite some time ago in some of the promotional images over at the Tekken websites, worn by Lucky Chloe- I was almost certain she was barefooted in that image, but it is only now that actual full body pics of the girls' character models in the new swimsuits are revealed.

And, as you can see in the video above, Lili's bare feet look great in the video (don't miss the amazing sole shot during the cutscene with Heihachi), as do Nina's in her pic below. Tekken has always had really good feet models (which is odd since Soul Calibur has crappy ones), and T7 is no exception!

The male fighters aren't left out- the dudes get Fundoshis (the Japanese traditional underwear popularized by Heihachi) or the old-style striped one piece swimming outfit first seen in TTT2... so something for everyone!

These are all as yet for the arcade version, but we can safely assume all these will make it into the upcoming console and PC ports coming in early 2017. Perhaps Tekken 7 will pull a DOA5 and finally bring in more barefoot outfits and customizations after this initial wave? In any case, I'm already quite happy, and I am now looking forward to this game as the next big barefoot babe fighter coming soon. Stay tuned, we'll keep on this like glue.

Nina bares her bikini body AND her sexy deadly feet in Tekken 7 Fated Retribution's latest update.

Laura Matsuda (Streetfighter V)

A Barefoot Beauty from Brazil joins the Great Brawl!

 Just officially revealed today is the latest fighter for the upcoming Streetfighter V. Her name is Laura Matsuda, and unlike other fighters who have come from Brazil, this lovely lass is a master of Jujuitsu- which means lots of grapples and limb-locking moves. She certainly is stunning with her curvaceous figure and long hair- of course it's her distinct footwear (or lack of, heheh) that is our main point of interest. Of course, the 'instep guard' thing has been done before, such as with the as-yet MIA Juri Han (whom we hope returns to SFV eventually).

I really, really wish Laura here was totally barefooted. Still, I have to say that I am so far loving this newest barefoot SF Babe- particularly how her feet are probably the best-looking 'default' bare feet in the franchise so far- they actually look feminine for the most part, and they are very- um, expressive if you see how her toes look during various moves. I think Capcom certainly referred to real-life martial artists' anatomy when they were doing her movements. I also in particular am really happy with her KO Pose (yes, I have seen some gameplay vids) which give a nice view of her unconscious face and also gives a nice sole view. My reservations with her outfit aside, I am looking forward to seeing more of Laura in action. Hopefully she isn't the last Barefoot Babe in Streetfighter V.

For now though, I am happy that the future looks bright for this future fighting game. Laura is certainly one babe I won't mind getting a foot stomp from... hahaha!

 

Laura's Reveal Trailer.

Poison Ivy: Batman Arkham Knight

Lots of Ivy to admire in the video above!

Since Batman: Arkham Asylum, we've all become particular fans of one awesome villainess in the Batman Rogue Gallery- one Pamela Isely, AKA Poison Ivy. Many think that the Arkham games revitalized the Batman franchise in gaming thanks to the gritty graphics, the expansive stages or perhaps the fluid combat... but we all know the real reason is because it gave us HOT Barefoot Poison Ivy. Heheh. You just know that the developers knew what Ivy's assets are (since they can't really show bare green boobs)- hot, sexy bare legs and feet, and the camera easily focuses on them every time Miss Isely appears.

Sadly, after an awesome debut in Arkham Asylum, Poison Ivy was relegated to pretty much a cameo in Arkham City (but still, at least we got some good views). How will she fare in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight?

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like her part is too big- despite being shown in one of the earlier trailers as one of the bat-baddies released by The Scarecrow to take on Batman, it has been revealed in a recently-posted 7-minute trailer ('To Go to War' Trailer), which we have posted above, that Ivy does not join the ranks of Scarecrow's allies. Because of this, she is taken prisoner and has to be 'rescued' (or at least, taken into custody) by Batman in one of his missions. After battling through several thugs, Ivy is freed and there is a nice cutscene  with all the lovely views we expect of green legs and feet. Mmmm...
Sadly, it seems that this may be the extent of Ivy's participation in the game. The video ends with her being taken back to the Gotham Holding Cells, and unless something more happens, that may be the end of her role. I can't believe this though- did they just basically spoil her entire part in a trailer? Is that all? Really? What a waste of an awesome villainess!

Now, I am hoping that I am wrong and that Ivy somehow breaks out again and does more stuff. Or at least I hope we see more of her in the game rather than just the scenes shown above. Otherwise, well... all I can say is, enjoy the video! There are wonderful views of the new and updated Ivy. I just hope there's more. We'll see though, when the game is released later this month.

Streetfighter V: Looking Forward to the Future!

Ryu gets Chun-Li's foot right in the face... lucky bastard.

I am stoked, footfans. I am very excited for the future of barefoot babes in games. This early, things are looking awesome, particularly on the front of the next Streetfighter game. Based on the above video, which shows off action from the admittedly very-early Streetfighter V, us foot-lovers will be very happy with what may be. It's pretty cool that instead of giving us a sausage-fest, Capcom opted for a sexy battle of the sexes with their initial demo for SFV- letting us all get a good look at the next-gen/now-gen version of Chun-Li, and well, she's looking gorgeous.

But more than that, I am happy to see that Chun's character model is hot-hot-hot. It's a bit more realistic-looking than the previous generation look of SFIV, but yes, there's still a bit of exaggerated proportions. Still, I am loving it- Chun's feet are perfectly-sized, IMO. Right now, I am imagining how they look without her trademark white boots on. And I am also loving all the angles and views which will yield AMAZING sole shots and views once we get barefoot mods and costumes to give us a barefooted Chun-Li in action in SFV (and with the game coming to SFV, I am hoping this happens as soon as possible). Just check out the sexy action above to get a glimpse of the sexy, sexy future of fighting we may have with Streetfighter. And be jealous of Ryu who gets to have Chun-Li's soles right in his face. Mmmm. Hahaha.

SFV is exclusive (supposedly forever) to PS4 and PC, so I'm ready on either front. Here's to barefoot mods or outfits to come and make this SFV even more awesome than SFIV and SFxTK on PC (which are already all-time favorites). The future is coming, and I couldn't be more excited!

Ramlethal Valentine is in the House! (Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN PS4)

Gorgeous anime-style fighting action from Guilty Gear Xrd on PS4.

It's been a long wait, but last week Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN arrived on the PS4 (exclusive). This awesome fighting sequel is one of the most eye-catchingly pretty fighting games I've ever seen, thanks to the vibrant colors, graphics, characters and camera angles that punctuate the flashy action. But of course, the best thing about the game for us foot fans is Ramlethal Valentine, the one single barefoot babe in the game. Ram-chan is the game's Final Boss (at least initially), a seemingly emotionless superbabe bent on destroying humanity (so awesome!). Aside from being as cute as a button, she perhaps has some of the nicest-looking, well-drawn and detailed feet I've seen (in both her artwork and her in-game model). Even better, her intros always give lovely and lingering focus on her kissable feet, from the sole view in one and from the top on another- easily the cameraman knew what was really worth locking his lens on. Heheh...


Ramenthal's VS mode intro never gets old...

Anyways, aside from her cuteness and pretty-much-bare feet, Ram-chan's animations are pretty cool- she has a nice, sexy walk which is accented by nice, fleshy footsteps- and her attacks are cat-like and graceful. She's definitely my favorite character in the game- if only I-No and Millia were able to shed their boots... oh well.

Check out the vids I've posted showing off Ram-chan in action. I may post more stuff, as well as cutscenes from the Story Mode, if I find parts that give special focus to our favorite Valentine. For now, enjoy the vids and imagine Ram-chan's soles pressing on your faces... yum!


Potemkin does his piledriver-like Instant Kill on Ramenthal in this bout- don't worrry, she can take it.

Ramlethal Valentine, Part Deux (Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN)

Guilty Gear Xrd's Boss is reason enough to get this game.

I posted some weeks ago about this lovely and lethal boss babe, Ramlethal Valentine (the English subtitles mistook her name spelling as Ramletherl) from Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN. Back then, we hadn't yet gotten a good look at Ram-chan ingame (just the brief look at her from afar in the Arcade Opening Cinematic), and no full-body art of her was available. We DID have a fullbody fan art of her, which we really liked and wished was accurate, showing her barefoot save for some odd wrap-thing around her instep. Anyway, I've found another artwork of her, with nice views of her soles!

Well, good news is that YES, indeed, our lovely Ramlethal is indeed barefooted, as befitting a floating super-powered villain babe. We FINALLY get a good look at her in-game at GGXrd's Arcade mode, including her wonderful Intro Cutscene that nicely shows her off feet-first with a lovely view of her sexy soles and toes. A couple of arcade runs of the game has the cutsene, but the vid above cuts to the chase and shows the Boss fight intro and battle right away- check it out!

I am really wanting this game already (it's coming to PS3 and PS4) and I want to see more of 'Ram-chan' as much as possible. She has been confirmed to be playable and should have her own extensive Story Mode cinematics and all the trimmings. Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN is looking to be a footfan must-have for me in the Next Gen lineup of fighters! Here's to more barefoot babes in the game somehow (Maybe a redesigned Jam or Baiken will be barefoot..?), but even now I am stoked for GGXrd! Heheh.

Man, seeing Milia Rage's Intro just makes me want her barefoot so badly though... sigh.

Ramlethal Valentine (Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN)

Never thought I'd ever be jealous of a book...heheh.

Okay, Next-Gen fighters are coming in the near future, even though not all fighting game companies have revealed their cards. One of the confirmed coming new beat 'em ups is ArcSystemWorks' latest and seemingly greatest installment of their much-beloved Guilty Gear series. Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN will be coming to arcades before heading to PS4 and presumably XBOne eventually. The game has impressed me with some truly dynamic angles with its cinematic cutscene-ingame attacks, and manic action that the series is known for. Sadly none of the existing female characters in the game- including the truly delectable Milia is barefoot, leaving footfans a bit high and dry with this new brawler.

Well, fear not! Apparently there will be a barefooted beauty in the game after all. The prospective unshod lovely is none other than Ramletherl Valentine, a new character recently introduced in the game's Arcade Version Opening Cinematic (posted below).


Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN's cinematic intro (Arcade)

Ramletherl is apparently the game's Final Boss and one tough cookie! She is currently supposedly a non-playable character but many speculate she'll be a usable fighter eventually, perhaps in the console versions. Anyway, when I first saw this super-powered boss (via the interesting angle we get in the Opening), I had thought she was wearing sandals. Well, apparently this is NOT the case, and as the artwork above shows (I am not sure if the art is official, but it certainly looks of high enough quality to be so), Miss Valentine has some kind of strapless plates attached to the top part of her feet, but otherwise there is nothing else on them- making her effectively barefoot. Her beautiful looks and cute voice are enchanting, and her sudden burst of menace at the end of her speech makes me intrigued at her character. All that plus I am wanting to give those toes and soles of her a thorough kissing. Heheh...

Nice to finally look forward to a Guilty Gear game for a change- heck, the only other barefoot character in the damn game is male, dammit. Whew! I'll keep on this like a hawk and try to get more images of Valentine that show off her lovely assets. Stay tuned!

Tae Ioroi (Lily Bergamo, PS4)

I currently know nothing about the bandaged Tae. But I like her already.

Just hot off its debut announcement at Sony's Pre-TGS Event is an upcoming title from Goichi Suda (Suda 51) of Grasshopper Manufacture, which was recently acquired by GungHo. The game is called Lily Bergamo, which will be an online title for Playstation 4. All we know about it at this point is that it will star a female protagonist named Tae Ioroi (we assume it's the girl with the interesting outfit in the trailer below). Other than that, some concept art has been released. What I do know is that Tae is one lovely-looking femme fatale and she wears our kind of footwear (which nicely leaves most of her beautiful feet quite, quite bare) as seen in a wonderful closeup.  That's really all I need to be interested in this- but really, it's a Suda 51 title- what can we expect from the maker of Killer 7 and Lollipop Chainsaw but something pretty off-the-wall and sexy?


Suda 51 knows what we like to see...

Hopefully we'll be seeing a lot of the lovely, mysterious 'Lily' and her sexy feet in the months ahead and as the game is released next year on PS4 (hoping it's released outside Japan of course). At least it's something to look forward to. Barefoot babes are very much alive in gaming's future, I see! For now, check out the intriguing debut trailer of Lily Bergamo from TGS.


Semi-barefoot Anime Heroine and giant demon robots? SOLD!
