They're rarely in any of the spin-off material, too, so people don't get much chance to see how fun they are. On the same note, poor Kenshin seemed to have a much smaller role than Kasuga in the anime so that might be a factor there as well. I'm not sure what Kasuga would do in a series without Kenshin there too; it would probably end up pretty depressing ^^;;Raindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-66098348559966595472014-04-13T20:48:43.349+01:002014-04-13T20:48:43.349+01:00Thank you for the kind comment!

Not the Shingen-Kenshin part, but the fact that so few Kasuga fans also don't want Kenshin. I mean... why? The Matsu and Toshiie fans want both of them back for the most part... ;_; Is Kenshin really that unappealing as a partner for Kasuga for them...? u_u<br /><br />I'm also a bit disappointed by how poorly Xavi and especially Itsuki did. I guess the anime really factored into these choices since those two played cameo roles only. It's a shame too since they're great, and Itsuki's one of my favorites (not my very very favorites, that goes to the Uesugi couple, Oichi, and Naotora-chan), but ah, oh well.<br /><br />I also forget what my text responses were, but I want to say kudos to the person suggesting Takanobu should just be a literal bear. Best idea. Also not shocked I'm the only one who suggested Shirou, but glad others hopped on the Ginchiyo and Komatsuhime train.<br /><br />Overall very interesting results. I'm especially surprised that the top ten are all mostly the same, save Gyoubu's been swapped for Ieyasu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-75988118866613722782014-04-11T16:13:15.115+01:002014-04-11T16:13:15.115+01:00Kanetsugu playable master race!

Worthless moves!<br />(Jokes aside, I really would like Team Basara to keep his current characteristic while making him into a character. Wonder how that would work out.)<br /><br />I want to slap myself for forgetting about one character I wanted added to the roster from those that didn't appear in the series. Even more because I forgot which one was it. >.< I voted Ginchiyo and Hanzo, my reasons are in 100% covered by the quotes.<br />[Whenever I see 'Yoshiaki Ashikaga', I can't stop myself from imagining the horrific fusion of the splendid gentleman and the forever alone king-shogun-emperor.]<br /><br />I'm really suprised my fav newcomer, Yoshiteru, is so low, especially after he OBLITERATED every newcomer the Famitsu poll. Maybe it's the language barrier... Dunno. <br /><br />Kotaro favourite theme represent! *brofists the other person who voted for this* I still believe this question was the hardest.<br /><br />OMG, this comment is LONG. And it would actually go on and on! I hope I didn't scare you off with it. You've done an excellent job, I really applaud and thank you. <br />Are you going to tell KobaP about this? I bet it'll make him extremely happy.<br /><br />PS I just realised that you saw my comment as the funniest. For some reason I can't stop smiling. (I still stand by my word though!)<br /><br />PPS This comment was longer than allowed by a fair margin of over a thousand signs. Well.<br /><br />PPPS I actually had to split this comment because I couldn't send it ever after shortening it below the 4096 threshold.

I'm ac...Polish fans unite! *brofists Garcinda*<br /><br />I'm actually surprised that my favourite, the Demon King, actually made it so high - sure, I would've liked it better if he was above 20th, but he still topped some characters I thought would beat him (Hideyoshi and at least a few newcomers at least).<br />I actually forgot to write my reasons why I chose him in the first place, so I'll fix that mistake here: I just think that, in the pool of badassery that is this series, he tops everyone. He's also a character that seems to have a hidden layer beneath the obvious one - something that every Oda faction character shares; despite him being so rough and aggressive, he actually is... Not a nice guy, but not how he's seen by the most characters. At least in SB2 and SB4 (never played SB1). And he's an extreme tsundere, the biggest one in the series maybe: just look at his treatment of Nohime and Maru - harsh, but between the lines he cares about them. Just like with Katsuie and Mitsuhide most likely, though they didn't repay him well. His SB3 personality doesn't count (even the creators took a jab at it in SB4), I call him 'Zombienaga'; a different person (even the characters in that game say so).<br /><br />tl;dr Nobunaga is an softie and the biggest tsundere in the games, but hides it really well.<br /><br />I wrote that I'd like to deduct points from Katsuie (lol) but... I actually wanted to vote for him as my fourth choice, but I figured that he's likely an unfinished character - the creators seem to have taken a few different approaches: some which make him a great character (his drama, Masamune's drama) some make him a good antagonist (his anime) and some make him unbearable (Nagamasa's drama, Ichi's drama). Or maybe it was intentional... In the end, I decided on the latter and figured he deserves deducted points.<br /><br />I could write huge paragraphs about a ton of characters, but I foresee this comment being massive - plus, it's not really a place for it. I guess that I really like a lot of the cast. Not everyone maybe, but a ton.<br />A lot of quoted reasons in the post are what I think, too.<br /><br />"The most individual votes anyone submitted was 41." - WHOA<br />There actually was another person who separated Mitsuhide from Tenkai, my goodness. I still managed to be original to differentiate Sunday from Motonari.<br /><br />lol@Kanbe and Gyoubu having the same amount of points. The top is actually suprising to me in how well it emulates the official polls: Masamune and Mitsunari, then a looong gap, a few characters with big gaps in-between and a bunch really close ones.Lancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458169924179478697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-37610973867817888092014-04-10T23:34:40.544+01:002014-04-10T23:34:40.544+01:00Summarising everything took absolutely ages (lol) ...Summarising everything took absolutely ages (lol) but it was great fun.

I can't believe everyone contributed such a rich variety.<br /><br />I've always been interested in historical figures from my own country too, but the fervent passion that people (including me, it seems) feel for the heroes of the Sengoku era is incredible.

The gaps between the characters aren't all that big since people voted for so many different ones, but Mitsunari's recent popularity is pretty impressive to watch. If the tone shifts away from the Toyotomi forces in 5 (assuming they make a fifth numbered game at all...) I wonder whether he'll stay as high as he is?<br /><br />Hmm, I think I'd quite like to see the Oda and Takeda/Uesugi forces return to the centre of the main story in a new game if possible to balance the great things that happened to the Toyotomi army this time. Then we might see a tight battle for the top rankings.<br /><br />I believe the song you chose is 掉尾の勇 or Choubi No Yuu (The Last Hero). It's on the Utage soundtrack and on the Tougun Best CD but not on the 3 soundtrack itself.

But to see Masamune & Mitsunaris' rank as the first/second, while their points are about 2 times more than the third/Yukimura. I know well that they are the most popular here, but I just hope that Capcom will not put them as the main poster boy again. Though Capcom decided to placed them together as the main character for BSR4's promote campaign or Op movie, they actually not essentially related or intertwined in the story at all. In fact, I don't mind to see Mitsunari's place a little dimmer but being in his proper place with Ieyasu or the Toyotomis.<br />And I'm glad that the result pretty much justified my opinion about Sakon. He is popular but heavily disadventaged from being introduce within Toyotomis-pack. His cheerful, idiotic and devoted character just endears to me a lot, but I just cannot vote him as the first, sorry!<br /><br />The most fun part here is about nomination of historical figure, Queen Isabella as 15th century Lady Gaga definitely would be a gem.<br /><br />Ps. At least 3 participant from Thailand! (included me) <br />C'mon, where are you xD !? I always feel like I am a poor lonesome one as basara fan here... /sob<br /><br />Ps2.
