I need a breakdown on all of these lol besides the second and third 4-ways contest

The S3&K disrespect is twofold! In the 2009 Games Contest, after the initial bracket reveal, Allen allowed B8 to make topics arguing for one game to be removed and replaced by a better option. I immediately made a topic asking for Sonic 3 to be replaced by Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Allen quickly shut it down and said it wasn't allowed.

Then in the 2015 Games Contest, the Guru nomination was Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which we could officially nominate now because it had a Steam port. However, it was shafted from the bracket because Allen also took review scores and such into account, so it got left out (I believe he stated it was the game that had the most nominations that didn't make the bracket). This was also why Mario 1 didn't make it.

Speaking of Mario 1, back in the 2009 Games Contest again, there were questions as to why Allen had made divisions by era again like the 2004 Games Contest had done. He replied that he didn't think older games would have a chance against newer games, and he literally cited Mario 1 vs. Halo as an example of an unfair matchup.

Finally, when a contingent of us (including me) appealed to Allen to open up the Character Battle to all fictional characters, he replied that he was against it because he didn't want to see Darth Maul vs. Jane Eyre in a contest.
