This has been talked about at length in the stats topics before, but 1v1 contests are never really going to have the same magic that they used to because 85% of the characters/games are known quantities and we have a pretty good grasp of all the trends these days.
We either need an entirely different contest format, or an entirely different pool of entrants.
Also most of you people are old now, so there's that.
