>>292153429brockenbros...
>>292153991I think Terryman has it worse. He's not even in the top 20. Do the Japanese not like him or something?
>>292154079He's been falling out over time, its a shame honestly since he's always got some of the most solid fights. If anything the results just seem very random, a lot of the perfect origin characters should be higher, unless japanese fans just really liked the chojin gods arc.
Apparently they hold the poll every three or four years; almost every single time the top three are Soldier, Akuma Shogun, and Robin Mask.It seems strange the Ninja rose that much this year. He hasn't even appeared in ages.
>>292153429This is neat, funny to see that Suguru is one those jump MC's that do badly in popularity polls
>>292154183Oddly enough I wouldn't say he ever does badly, people do like him. They just find other characters cooler.
>>292154138damn
>>292153429How is warsman so popular all he does is job
>>292155467It says why people voted on the websiteJust hit translate on your browser
>>292153429Interesting to see Pessiman that high. But it's sad to see Terryman that low, he had a good showing lately and he's a been a standout all throughout the revival.>Satan at 30 but none of the Omega Centauri at allObligatory "nips have no taste" post.
>>292155584These are fun. I'll post them since some of them are hilarious.
>>292155885Stecasse King won through cuteness.
>>292155910>SexyHuman females love robo men!
>>292155937
>>292155956BONUS 50th POSITION!Glad to see nips are wondering about this as well. It feels weird that there isn't even a cameo of him when the rest of the jobber squad got a moment back then.I still think they are planning to give him an actual win. And not some pity victory like Geronimo but an actual relevant story moment.

>>292156244Or at least they'll be drawn in the story of the gameI dunno
>>292153429THE NEPTUNEMANIA STILL RUNS WILD!
>>292153429>1: Kinnikuman SoldierThis dude is truly the Kevin Mask of Kinnikuman
>>292153429>9: MammothmanThe author doesn’t let him fight more often because he is too strong, and the author needs the fights to have higher stakes.
>>292153429>he's inlove to see it. Also Pessimiman being in 12th despite how "new" he was introduced is also great. No revival character character made into the top 10 except for Silverman
>>292153429Thanks
>>292153429>Robin out of the Top 5>Brocken not even in Top 10huh
>>292153429CARRYman
>>292161503heh throne arc storytime was great
God damn, atlantis couldn't even make it in top 20. Im even more surprised Terry isnt on this list.
>>292163355Terryman is 24thTerryman is a classic, but as its pointed out in the sequel his steady classical style of wrestling without flashy moves doesn't tend to "wow" the audience even if he has some of the most dramatic matches
Have we got any news about the next set of anime episodes yet? I'm tired of waiting for the Devil Knights>>292157802Nah, Soldier doesn't get wanked like Kevin does. And he's still only on the periphery of the main events.
>>292161503Is this the first time he's actually managed to rank highly in a poll?
>>292163691I like despite not making him any more popular they keep Terry fighting style that way. It consistent with the character.
>>292165533he also was in the top ten popularity poll around the Scramble of the Throne arc
https://x.com/Left_Near2022/status/2119746331040502104Shame that tag team names rarely get revealed
>>292153429My man Warsman still top 5. Oh yeah! >The Ninja that high>Buffaloman and Ramenman that lowWhat happened? Good on Pessimiman though.
>>292163355No respect for the hardworking Texan who gets the job done with no flashy moves. Terrybro will always be a favorite of mine, especially when he teams up with Suguru.
>>292156244Oh now I see why Terryman got shit for votes, no one wants to play as a fundamentals heavy character, they want flashy moves.
>>292155956My boy Sunshine getting beat by Benkiman....I just don't know anymore.
>>292168276Even JP seems suprisedhttps://x.com/FukimisoHiguma/status/2119586563764240668https://x.com/yude_shimada/status/2119849010727186456https://x.com/yude_shimada/status/2119754741181993087
>>292168302I mean its basically a remake of an old 8-bit NES(?) gamebut with more characters addedPeople can download it on their phonesEveryone is talking about it right now
https://x.com/bnei876/status/2119701868301660584
>>292156244>>292168350>Live in a time where 42 extra characters can be added to a game and the selection could be determined through a voteYou know that somewhere a Japanese geezer is having the time of his life with his phone.
>>292168450I mean every character has basically the same moveset, aside from having one special attack each. It probably doesn't take a lot of data to add each one.This is the future we wanted deep down; the old style games, but with way way more content since games can fit way more content nowInstead each game has less content but somehow each game is like 500 GB of fucking nothing, because people just care about "the graphics"People would sooner buy a pokemon game where you could go to every region in the classic 8 bit style, than they would by a $100 pokemon game that's 8 hours long but "look at dose graphix"
>>292168528https://x.com/KloverKlub14/status/2119542816820932629Just watch this video the entire way through, and then try to tell me we're living in the "future" right now.
>>292168528Pokemon's what I'd call a bad example since the people that buy that are either parents doing so for their kids or people who would buy pretty much anything with the franchise label attached (as is obvious since they have neither the content nor the graphix)
>>292168574Look at gen 2; only game where you can visit two different regions and the game is twice as long. There's a reason they could never do that again even when computers got 1000x stronger.
>>292168592>There's a reason they could never do that again even when computers got 1000x stronger.Because GF is incompetent and just shit out whatever they feel like?
>>292168528>>292168557I don't need to watch anything. As long as there are people giving their best, good thing being made and people are happy then all is well.Duds have always existed. Focusing on them alone is never the way.
>>292165624He was 9th place LMAO
>>292165624was this right after Robin Mask vs Mammothman?
When we getting storytime for the new chapters?
