The lovely (and limber) Capoeirista Christie Monteiro joins VS on DA!
In case you haven't already checked out my recently-opened DeviantArt page, VirtualSoles, perhaps you can spare a moment or two to go there. It's my new diversion these days, which admittedly is taking a bit of time away from both this blog and my Youtube channel- but I guarantee you the sexy XPS pose artworks starring the barefoot babes of Tekken and other games is worth it. Have to say, all the frustration I had with the disappointing lack of barefoot customization in Tekken Tag 2 has been alleviated by the awesome fun and enjoyment I've been having with XPS and XNALara. I've pretty much been able to pose and compose hotter KO's and sole views than any of the Tekken games (or any fighting game or videogame yet seen for that matter) have ever given us.
That's not to say I'm not waiting impatiently for the next big fighting games, mind you... but playing with the character models in XPS is an awesome way to pass the time, and I get to compose some pretty cool scenes, whether you're into barefoot babes or not (I think).
So check out the page- so far in terms of Tekken, I've got Lili Rochefort (both Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag 2 barefoot models), Asuka Kazama, Kunimitsu, Ling Xiaoyu, Leo Kliesen and most recently, Christie Monteiro to play with, and I'm hoping to find more in the days and weeks ahead. Also, I'll be posting stuff with other game babes, notably the ladies of DOA5 and some cool surprises. See you on DA!
VirtualSoles on Deviantart is live, and I've already posted a couple of pose art. Sadly, I'm not that savvy into the workings of 3D art and rendering, so all I can do for now is dabble and do as nice poses and scenes with the barefoot ladies of Tekken as I can. Compared to a lot of other already existing XNA or XPS art on DA, I'm pretty green, but heck- all that matters is that I give barefoot knockouts their time in the sun for all footfans to share and appreciate. Oh, and I AM having fun doing this. For now, I'm working on a series of arts that conveys one story- pretty simple, really... just a reimagined first fight between Asuka and Lili- of course this time they're in bikinis and barefoot. Heheh. Anyway, head on over to DA to see what I already have up. And check the vid above to some behind the scenes 'footage' captured straight from my desktop. Heh. See you over at VirtualSoles DeviantArt!
Cammy gives us a playful stomping, care of XNA/XPS.
For the past several years I've made it my hobby (nay, my PASSION!) to share the love of perfect, virtual barefoot knockouts both here on the blog and for the most part, on Youtube. But lately, I've discovered what potentially may be a new medium for me to share the footlove. Well, actually, XNALara is hardly new- this is a CG poser program created by the awesome Dusan originally to play with the ingame assets of the Tomb Raider Underworld games. Years later, the online community of enthusiasts using XNALara to create everything from TR fan art and fan fiction skits to masterpieces of CG is huge and pretty prolific. I actually used XNA years ago, and I featured some of my dabblings with Lara Croft here on the blog. However, since it was pretty focused on Lara then, my interest eventually tapered off (one cannot live on one babe alone).
Even though I've kept occasional glances at the XNA forums all these years, I never dreamed that today the program can access and manipulate pretty much any graphic asset from any videogame with character models worth ripping and playing around with. My mouth fell open at the possibilities and a this week I went about re-learning XNA and finding all the barefoot gamebabe assets I could find. Initially, I was drawn into this by dreams of making barefoot KO vignettes with the Streetfighter babes Makoto, Ibuki, Juri and Cammy (and Cammy certainly has the best-looking feet from that bunch)- but since then, I've found other more... higher quality... models.
Bikini babes Lili and Asuka bare their soles for us in XPS!
YEP, XNALara can de-boot the babes of Tekken Tag Tournament 2! Well, actually not XNA but XPS since only the more advanced version of XNA can toggle the truly annoying sandals (or other unwanted bits) from the character models (similar to how you can toggle stuff in SF4 Explorer for SFxTK and SSFIVAE PC).
With XNP, I've gotten my hands on what Harada and the Tekken Team denied us in TTT2- barefoot Lili and Asuka in their bikinis (well, Asuka's bra top and shorts thingie...). Thankfully, once you toggle the sandals off, both of these babes' soles and feet are perfectly whole and complete (which makes it all the more frustrating why a barefoot option wasn't included in the game). I have to say, Lili is the most gorgeous game babe I have in my XNP collection right now. Asuka is nice but Lili just totally outclasses her in hotness (having a crappy swimsuit doesn't help at all).
As for the rest of the babes, I have hopes that more than one will be barefoot-able like Lili and Asuka, and I'll be keeping my eyes open for models to DL once available. For now though, Lili and Asuka (my fave babes in Tekken) are already more than enough for me to make tons of KO poses and barefoot action (in stills though). Hopefully this will not take away too much time from my game postings on YT... but for now I'm having so much fun I don't care.
Lili is an awesome model to work with...
Anyway, check out the video showing some first tries with XNP making some poses with my Tekken girls. I'm a bit rusty and learning as I go along, but I hope to have lots of good stuff eventually. ALL of which I will post primarily on Deviantart- Yes, VirtualSoles is now live on DA. So head on there every so often to see my XNP/XNA stuff (and the odd artwork or so) with the Tekken babes and more.
Whew! Now, back to posing Lili and Asuka and... someone else. Heheh...
Sakura pulls of a switcheroo on Juri(Sorry, Juri as Sakura mod not yet available).
It's been a while since I last posted about Super Streetfighter IV AE (PC), but yeah, there are still cool mods coming out for it (though not enough barefoot babe ones). Here's the latest one for none other than Ryu's No. 1 fan, Sakura Kasugano. The mod by new modder Ayiep has the wholesome schoolgirl cosplaying as the series' TKD Bad Girl, Juri Han. Now, I don't know if this is in the same vein as the classic 'Trophy' series by Ohhho (Remember those?), but this is undoubtably cool. Even if she's only semi-barefoot, I still love this outfit- anyway, can't hurt that I'm pitting her against other totally-barefoot babes. Enjoy the vids and lots of butt-kicking soles flying all over the place...
Juri's back to get her outfit after Sakura stole it from her off camera...
Can Sakura's new bad girl image take her through a fight with the Karate Kid?
Sakura left Juri and Makoto out cold after their matches- will she KO Cammy and make this a straight flush?
Kung Pao is certainly the flashiest fighter in this comedic beat 'em up...
Fighting game fans with a sense of humor are surely waiting in anticipation for Dive Kick, the joke fighter with a lot of technique (and only two buttons). Well, at least footfans will have some love in this game, in the form of Kung Pao (she's a female version spoof of Kung Lao from MK), a semi-barefoot Kung-fu babe who's ready to stick her soles into her opponents' faces. Her special power meter is also a nice touch, a close up view of her foot. Well, I have quite a bit of space still empty on my Vita Memory Stick, so I may give this upcoming beat 'em up a try. The game is out this Summer.
The camera loves Miss Armstrong. And she knows it.
Gotta say, I am really growing into Dead or Alive 5's combo-heavy action, but a lot of the fun I'm having with this game is with the Photo feature. You can capture screenshots from your replays, which means you can set up some pretty nice action with the babes (and blokes, if you want). Thankfully taking a pic is easier than in the previous games, and you can pause the action so you can fix up the angle for the best, er, views. Heheh.
My one big gripe though is that actually accessing the pics is tedious as hell. The interface is horrible (or may I say, non-existent) and you have to go through a couple of loading times and a menu each time you want to see an individual pic. Simple deleting or viewing any single pic takes too long. All this, plus you can't really output or view your screenshots outside of the TV or transfer them anywhere as picture files (the PSV can, but I haven't tried that). The pics here I screencapped using my computer from 720p video- a bit more effort than you really should. Team Ninja, fix this up!
Sexy barefoot bikini battles caught on camera.
Yep, Christie can give as good as she gets.
That said, I can't say that these pics aren't worth taking. My phone and tablet are positively glowing with my new, sexy DOA5 wallpapers. Heheh. Anyways, I'll be back to posting more vids soon on the channel. Stay tuned!
OKAY, THERE WAS A NICE PIC OF KASUMI IN HER PARADISE BIKINI ABOVE, BUT IMAGESHACK APPARENTLY FINDS PICS OF CG GIRLS IN BIKINIS A VIOLATION OF THEIR TOS. I RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU WANT A PHOTO UPLOAD SERVICE THAT WON'T SCREW YOU FOR NO REASON, DO NOT PICK IMAGESHACK.
Before pretty much any other fighting game, it was really
Dead or Alive that pushed fan service in my heart’s direction. It was DOA on
the Saturn that first gave us a barefoot and bikini-clad Leifang (that’s why
she’s a sentimental fave of mine), and later all four of the first batch of DOA
girls went swimsuit-clad and shoeless in the now-classic (and still awesome)
DOA on Playstation.
From there on, fans of the game have always expected hotness
from the franchise, even if often disappointment would follow. Really, in the
many, many DOA releases since DOA PSX (particularly among the gazillion
re-releases of Dead or Alive 2),
Team Ninja saw fit to NOT give much in alternate outfits, and not one
single barefoot costume was seen in the series until Dead or Alive 3 (Enter
Hitomi, barefoot karate princess!).
Contrary to what I thought earlier, you CAN actually knock someone out in DOA5.
Afterwards though, once again disappointments followed.
Yeah, DOAX and DOAX2 were fan service to the Xtreme (hah) but they weren’t
fighters but silly side games that I just didn’t get into. When the actual sequel
to the series- Dead or Alive 4- finally arrived, once again, no alternate
outfits and even Hitomi somehow managed to NOT wear her karate gi in the game.
That was the time where I just said, EFF YOU, Team Ninja and DOA. And I went
off to find soleful joys in other games like Tekken, VF, Streetfighter and
more.
The DOA girls' sexy moves are even more provocative when they bare their soles.
Still, I’ve always kept an eye on DOA. There was always a
possibility of barefoot fan service returning, I thought… and well, after quite
a long wait it has arrived in the form of a portable port and some exclusive
(for now) DLC. But yes, The Dead or Alive Girls are finally ALL barefoot and
hotter than ever before in Dead or Alive 5. It took a while, but here it is.
As I’ve been monitoring here for the past couple of months,
Dead or Alive 5 Plus on the Playstation Vita received several cool bonuses. Including
some exclusive outfits. These new costumes include the so-called ‘Getaway’ Set
of Swimsuits- which I guess means ‘Get Away from Shoes’ since all the girls are
barefoot in these new pieces of swimwear.
Girlfights are hot already- barefoot girlfights ten times hotter.
And I have to say, the girls look amazing, and their feet
are markedly improved in detail and shape from previous DOA games. The
swimsuits themselves are mostly sexy numbers, though I really just don’t dig
the skirt/skort-style suits given to Leifang, Hitomi and Sarah.
Bottom-line though, the girls are finally barefoot and I am
happy beyond words. Hoping that this bodes well for the future- hoping that
more barefoot outfits are released, both for DOA5 and the inevitable sequel.
For now though- enjoy the first few barefoot bikini babe
battle vids!
Sexy KOs actually do exist in DOA5... you just need to work a bit to get at them.
I won’t lie- the sexy and wicked Christie has always been my
favorite and this is a dream come true… I’ve been waiting to see her fighting
barefoot since DOA3, dammit! Well, I am certainly happy now- her swimsuit is
hot as heck, and she just looks amazing (loving the painted toenails…) when
she’s punishing her foes or getting pummeled herself. Check her out in a hot
and sexy KO in the vid below (I am so glad that DOA5 indeed has an actual KO
animation… kinda hard to see but still pretty excellent). Nice views… doesn’t
that make you want to just kiss her sleepy soles? Mmmm.
Ninja sisters Kasumi and Ayane show off skin... soles included!
I have to say- I kinda prefer the mature ladies in DOA... Helena and Christie FTW!
I also kinda realized that DOATEC mistress Helena Douglas
has also been another fave of mine- and that I’ve wanted to see her fight
shoeless since DOA2. Suffice to say- she looks like an absolute angel in DOA5-
the visual style makes her look like a real woman instead of the anime doll she
was in her earlier appearances. And that swimsuit… there’s something about
white swimsuits… Man, she’s a vision to see. Good thing she kicks butt as well!
I’d kiss her soles and toes in worship anytime. Heheh.
Helena really looks stunning in this game. In her white swimsuit and bare feet- YOWZERS!
I’ll see about posting more vids- both battle vids (Solo and Tag) and ‘special’ ones in the weeks and months ahead. No need to hurry, this game is now on my channel for good and here to stay with the rest of my fave fighters. So check there for even more vids.
I am truly looking forward to enjoying the newly-barefoot DOA Girls for a long time to come. With this, DOA has finally returned to the fold and actually jumped feet-first into my Inner Circle of Best Barefoot Babe Fighting Games. HALLELLUIAH!
The barefoot ‘Getaway’ Swimsuit Set is as yet only available as an
exclusive bonus DLC for the Japanese/Asian Collector’s Editions of Dead or
Alive 5 PLUS for the PS Vita (they appear on my PS3 via Cross-DLC). I assume
they will become available for other PS3 gamers (and to the Xbox360 players)
eventually. I’ll update here or on another post about that.
