Heh, so today's Penny Arcade was an amusing reference to Legend of Korra. Hmm, thinking about it though, I think I would actually go for Asami. She may not have fancy powers, but she sure does dress stylishly and has a knack for tech.
Hmm, so I guess in Japan they had a poll last year of the most popular SW chars as of SW3: Empires and DW chars as of DW7. At least I think that's what they are, I don't read Japanese.
Most popular Dynasty Warriors characters. Top ten:
1) Wang Yuanji
2) Xiahou Dun
3) Lu Xun
4) Zhao Yun
5) Cao Pi
6) Sima Yi
7) Zhang Liao
8) Ling Tong
9) Ma Chao
10) Zhong Hui
Unfortunately, I have no idea how anyone else ranks since everything is in Japanese. I guess those are all good choices, none of those are characters I dislike and are indeed some of my favorites. Interesting though, its 3 Wei, 3 Jin, 2 Shu and 2 Wu. So I guess the Wei and Jin are more popular? This is before DW7:XL though, so I wonder where Guo Jia, Pang De, and Wang Yi would rank in this? In any case, I'm a little surprised Yuanji is number one. I mean, she is hot, and the wallpaper they link is the background on my PS3. But she is a relatively new character, so for her to beat out characters who've been around way longer is a bit interesting.
Most popular Samurai Warriors characters. Top 10:
1) Mitsunari Ishida
2) Yukimura Sanada
3) Gracia
4) Sakon Shima
5) Masamune Date
6) Hanbei Tanaka
7) Motonari Mori
8) Kiyomasa Kato
9) Kanetsugu Naoe
10) Ina
I'm a little surprised at the number of folks from the latest game. Though I guess the DW list had 2 people introduced in 7, whereas this only has 3 folks from SW3, so its not that much more. Well, Kiyomasa is pretty bad-ass looking. Motonari I haven't played in WO yet, but he does seem intriguing. He seems to come off as kinda a fool, and talking in the camp, a lot of other chars dislike him and think he's an idiot, but I guess that's an act? There's a stage where he and Jia Xu team up, and Motonari comes off way smarter than he lets on, like he just acts like he doesn't know anything when really he's a brilliant strategist and technician.
I'm surprised Gracia came in 3rd, I didn't realize she was so popular, I would've though people would think she's a silly little girl. I still don't see what people see in Yukimura though. Maybe I don't know how to play him right, but he just never seemed as bad-ass as his DW counterpart, Zhao Yun. And he's kinda emo.
EDIT: Okay, I found a translated list for both.
