While it was nice that he responded to early B8 trends by including various characters among the auto-suggest options, there was nought but radio silence on his end after the first 24 hours or so. The result was a bunch of notable snubs from the nomination form, including trending recent and popular B8 characters such as Cuphead, Papyrus, Max Caulfield, Metal Man, and Rosalina, as well as established characters such as Missile from previous character battles. As we've abundantly seen by now, the characters who aren't included on the nomination form have a very low chance of reaching the bracket - only something like a dozen CBX characters at most weren't included on the form, and none of them went above a 12-seed.

I tend to err on KP's side and say that Allen dumping the full list of characters in the next character battle on us beforehand and asking us to make pictures isn't a good idea.

Yes that's one criticism I forgot to bring up, further suggestion list additions beyond the first day would have been a big help. And as I've mentioned many times, I was 100% okay with sticking to traditional characters again in this one, I just wish he'd clarified things within the first couple days so we could have focused our discussion and rallies elsewhere (such as our Spidey one that went over 200 posts).

I think it would be fine legally if SB created the bracket privately, gave us the 128 names so we could create all the pictures, then opened things for predictions a week later. Regardless though it's a minor point; there would be plenty of time for us to get great images uploaded well ahead of the first day of matches even without any advanced info.
