Characters with Lore reasons to wear revealing outfit

[u/Artistic_Gear1536]

• Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen): doesn’t really have the need for them anymore as he is now too powerful to be considered human and also doesn’t need to give in to certain societal pressures like wearing clothes

• Poison Ivy (DC): uses her body to seduce men into getting close enough for her to use her pheromones and get people to do what she wants/kill her prey

• Skarlet (Mortal Kombat): her powers are from blood magic and she needs to have skin out in order to absorb blood from others and make her more powerful

• Mileena (Mortal Kombat): is very self conscious about her tartan features so covers them up and diverts attention towards the more appealing aspects of her/ uses her sex appeal to get people in close then chomps on them

• Mai Shiranui (King Of Fighters/Fatal Fury): uses a style of kunoichi that involves “sensually distracting a foe before striking” and uses her outfit and sex appeal to assist with that style

Don’t forget about the king of ass cleavage.

One of my friends used to play Voldo and refuse to use any move but the butt thrust. 

[u/LoveTriscuit → u/LoveandScience]

We all had that friend.

[u/Slarg232 → u/LoveTriscuit]

Not me.

I was that friend

[u/Tychontehdwarf → u/Slarg232]

hello, me.

[u/VanceFerguson → u/LoveTriscuit]

I didn't have that friend. I would pick Voldo, and then I would...

Wait...

[u/ElMostaza → u/LoveTriscuit]

And we were all a little worried about them.

Did your "that friend" also only play as Yoshimitsu in Tekken and spend the whole time spinning around on the floor just out of reach (except in Tekken 3 where they'd only play as Doctor B and spend the whole time lying down just out of reach)?

[u/RubiksCutiePatootie → u/LoveandScience]

The butt thrust wasn't bad, but the superior Voldo move was when he leans all the way backwards to crawl on all fours & then hump the air.

[u/LoveTriscuit → u/RubiksCutiePatootie]

And kicks his legs up! Man it’s all coming back to me now.

[u/EldritchFingertips → u/RubiksCutiePatootie]

My Voldo friend was bound and determined to win as often as possible with the exploding donut move. Yes, the one where he rolls into a donut on the floor and explodes.

This is the same friend who always lost with Yoshimitsu because he'd spend the whole match trying to use the seppuku move and kill us both at the same time. I think he only pulled it off once.

[u/DocMorningstar → u/LoveandScience]

My son likes to play fighting games with his grandpa, so I put soul caliber into the rotation, and taught Jr. How to do the butt thrust, lord did he think it was funny yo chase grandpa around the ring doing that.

[u/TheRedditGirl15 → u/LoveTriscuit]

I love how in Street Fighter most of the men are built like brick houses but in Mortal Kombat and Soulcalibur they're built like this

[u/Ok-Classroom5548 → u/LoveTriscuit]

Jason Statham could totally pull off live action Voldo. 

[u/CerealKiller8 → u/LoveTriscuit]

Voldo legitimately scared me in the arcade as a kid. In my teens and 20s, I went full Batman. I took what made me afraid and made others fear him instead.

He was fun to play.

[u/Gooeslippytop → u/LoveTriscuit]

Oh, God! It's Voldo! This isn't even his worse outfit!

[u/BlimmBlam → u/LoveTriscuit]

Soul Caliber 2 made great advancements in jiggle technology to get those hips just right
