Well, you got that right; the Soul girls when KO'ed just really capture that whole 'utterly defeated and vulnerable' vibe that a lot of us love (can't tell you how many times I'd just gawk over Talim, Xianghua/Leixia or Pyrrha's rear end when they're KO'ed face down).  The sad thing is though; the Soul series as of now hasn't had a new game in over 5 years (I don't count that free-to-play game that's no longer functioning [Lost Souls] or any other spin-off) and by the normal persons' eye it's an old series that's had 'everything' done with it already (which is a laugh in its own considering people are still doing DOA5 videos by the bucketful, despite coming out in 2012 just like Soulcalibur V).  However, the thing about that is that Tecmo still makes outfit passes for DOA5 and keeps making it a little relevant each month while Namco let the series fall into the dark while they pushed Tekken Tag 2/Tekken 7; another shame really because while I do enjoy the Tekken series in both a normal and ryona sense, the Soul series was by far the more fun and 'better' ryona game in my opinion (to this day, Tekken STILL doesn't have any way to manipulate the camera that doesn't require outside mods...)  I can surely say I've spent a bit more hours playing (and beating up) Talim, Amy/Viola, Cassandra/Sophitia/Pyrrha, Natsu, Seong Mi-na & Xianghua/Leixia over the years than I had with Lili, Xiaoyu, Alisa and Asuka.  That and it's custom creation is a big plus, too.
