Who gets their butt kicked by these things? I don't think I've ever lost a duel to the twins cards, they're really easy to beat with a CXyz deck, you just spam absorb them with this guy and play number wall, or have an xyz reborn as backup. Though at least they're fun to play against, unlike fire kings and the one turn kills. If you're talking about the design though, that's fair. They are cool cards.I love the Live Twins and Evil Twins cards, these cute little monsters are so annoying to fight once they get going.
They aren't a 1 turn 1 shot type of BS monster, they're used to actually enjoy the game..
I mean, who wouldn't want to get their butt kicked by two adorable women?
They're just so cool!
It's a classic. It's wonderful. Fight me.

According to the guy I knew who claimed to have spent time at the shop where the first comic originated (it was a stand-alone before invited to be included in Shonen Jump IIRC), there were three people involved in it - one who did the writing and art, and one who put it all together, and started developing rules for the card game when it looked like it would become a reality, and a third who mostly encouraged them but also did the full color work on the art after the first guy drew it. And it was meant as a parody, not a serious book, initially.
Well, obviously. But CXyz is actually pretty average, definitely not competitive. They are annoying, but the twins are just kinda gimmicky, they're basically the equivalent to a competitive structure deck. Not bad, but not especially viable for much other than learning the higher level mechanics of the game. They've always just felt like a way to introduce new players to the BS that starts happening once you can make your own deck that relies on spamming the summons. I'm sure they're fun if you've got another deck around the same level, but I've always just found them more tedious than anything. As for the broken card thing, decks usually work one of two ways. One, they have a bunch of small effects that shut your opponent down, or two, they have one really strong ace monster and support cards that make it really hard to overcome. The twins definitely fall into the first one, not saying that's bad, my deck fell into the latter, and while it's usually a decent match, twins usually struggle to overcome "boss monsters".
It's really just a personal reason I dislike them, anyway. I don't fully get it myself, but if I had to duel the twins or anything else, from meta, one turn kills, to structure decks, I'd rather play anything else. They always felt like they were made to be meta, but just weren't good enough. That's mostly what annoys me, they're built like most of the competitive decks, but utterly useless against any of them, so it's always hard for me not to compare them to higher level decks. I love playing the game for fun, but those specific cards will always bug me, like they're at a weird in between for fun decks and competitive ones.
You're talking to a man who tried to make a legitimate Kuriboh deck, and played for three hours straight to see if it was even remotely possible to win. The answer was yes, but it's gotta be the worst deck I've ever made. Also I don't think the term boss monster can be considered exclusively competitive, since it could be something as simple as a blue eyes.
