Link. The guy is amazing. He's the only one who is immune to all of the 2018 trends. He's the only one who could stand up to Zelda this year.

Decline in enthusiasm and care across every level.(site administrator, users, voters, bracket-makers, 2nd chance bracket makers, topic creators, discord server activity, new people coming in, guru entries, oracle participation, other contest pariticipation)

"people will be so excited to vote for the Noble 9 in the legends bracket" not being a thing

yay go Cloood!

Another one, when in doubt, women character would win
---

Advokaiser

I think another trend was "badass, traditionally cool, alpha-male lead characters underperforming"

This means Snake, Sephiroth, Zidane, Sonic, Noctis, Squall, Mega Man X, Leon Kennedy, Zero, Big Boss., Mewtwo(I know there's female Mewtwos now... but still he's seen as a guy)

Another one, Riku

Yes, that too
I can understand not wanting to bother people that don't want to see the contest all the time after they voted, but it least make it an option
Put as small "X" to hide the contest images or something
Thanks for another example SND

No prob! You got the number 5 spot on my countdown thanks to your rant.

I agreed with everyone you said a month ago. It was wrong that Joker was robbed like that. Same match pictures for a DAMN month was ridiculous too, it's part of the reason people stopped caring.

This contest sucked from a techinical view, I might create a topic explaining why and maybe it will help the next contest
The problem is, most things were fixed, and people no longer remember it
i.e you couldn't see how many points you had until like..the sixth day of the contest

Right, not being able to see points until then is really bad.

Another big one is that the match picture would dissappear after you voted. It made the match feel so much less epic.

It would look like this:

what led you to choose 3 dollars signs at the beginning and 3 dollar signs at the end of the topic title?

Everything he said in the post was true, and it resonated with many on the Board who love the contest so much. The contest was really really underwhelming up to that point, and SBAllen deserved a lot of the blame for why.

That's not how I recall the reaction to Nanis's topic, nor does your opinion on the contest to date stand for everyone or even most people.

Yea I think the reaction to Nanis' topic was mixed, some agreed some didn't. I know I backed him.

And on my topic, most were just mad. I do think, because of the emotion the topic stirred, it was one of the moments of the season though.

Number 5- Nanis23 vs SBAllen


On November 11th 2018, user @Nanis23 went on an epic rant against SBAllen.



Everything he said in the post was true, and it resonated with many on the Board who love the contest so much. The contest was really really underwhelming up to that point, and SBAllen deserved a lot of the blame for why.

The post cemented Nanis23 in my mind as one of the users of the contest.

Nanis23 is the hero we deserve, not the one we need.

Nah, not almost. You are halfway done.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6 = 5 entries done
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 = 5 entries to go

Oh right! Yea it was that confusing counting system where I thought 10 thru 6 was 4 only due to math(but it was really 5)

Number 6- SNDs meltdown

You knew this was coming. On November 16th 2018, in the aftermath of the Tifa/MMX match, SND felt the need to point out some of the back and forth between the users, particularly the insults levied at Black Turtle.



What followed was an iconic post where SND attacked everyone on the board, and tried to make change to decrease what he felt as bullying on the board. It was not received well, with many coming out of the woodworks to call out SNDs hypocrisy.

















The topic reached over 100 posts in under 2 hours. It was crazy. Like BT, I went up against anyone and everyone on the Board that day. The highlight was XIII calling SND the worst person in the world.





Something was biting at my soul that day, seeing not just BT but a bunch of people being bullied after the MMX/Tifa match. I'm really happy I had a chance to say my piece, and that's why this is so high on the countdown. Plus, I know from an outsider perspective that people love watching car crashes like this.

I never meant to get caught up in the storm like that, but it happened. I still really do believe that the toxic nature of the board is reprehensible at times, and that the close matches bring out the worst in people. After this topic, I was not sure I was going to come back to the Board.

I can laugh about it now, but man it was painful back then. I do think what I had to say on that day had merit, but maybe its just pointless to try to change internet culture. People dont like to be told what to do.
