This is getting a little off-topic, but...
The original title is DAI KESSEN! CHOU URUTORA HACHI KYOUDAI, which literally translated as GREAT DECISIVE BATTLE! THE SUPER 8 ULTRA BROTHERS. For whatever reason, Tsuburaya chose the ridiculous title SUPERIOR ULTRAMAN 8 BROTHERS for English sales. It doesn't even make any sense grammatically! Even a simple change like THE 8 SUPERIOR ULTRAMAN BROTHERS would sound better (though I dislike "Ultraman Brothers" anyway and wish they'd just stick with "Ultra Brothers" in English).
Unless I'm writing an article or something I never use the SUPERIOR title. It just sounds stupid. If I'm writing about it online I tend to switch between calling it SUPER 8 and 8 ULTRA BROS. Whichever comes to mind first.
And now back to Ultra Galaxy...
