If you don't count the bosses and Gokuu, there are 16 playable characters in the World Heroes series. 16. Sixteen. Why make a poll with only 9 choices? Why Mudman twice, but no Muscle Power, Rasputin, Shura, J Carn, Erick, Kim Dragon (!), or RYOKO?
When historians look back, they will see this was one of the first in a series of polls by Despair that always give you about half the choices: 'Favorite Lady King of Fighters', 'Favorite Capcom Character in CVS2', 'Favorite SNK Character in CVS2', identical polls for Chaos... and who could forget the whopping 10 choices available for 'All time favorite SNK all-star'?
Next will be a poll for 'All Time Favorite Fighting Game' with the 2 choices: KOF '99 or Fighters History Dynamite.
