Once again guys, my apologies for what happend in the old thread and about the Sakura thing please, we need to keep focused in the CotM.

ICED EDIT: this is a derail that happened on the thread and which I separated here in case anyone want to argue it without derailing from the winner of COTM

Hi guys, I want to clarify the things that happened with Sakura, first I don't know what did aumunio. About the situation of Vega, I don't will lie was the two reasons that them said one for I wanted to win the cotm one time and the second for motivation to make him, new version full pots, the version of the videos was an edit that made a long time ago based on the old pots style, I meant a make a new Vega from cero, with many modes, cage, claw, mask, no claw, no mask, no mask and claw, etc. Considering that would be much work. I guess that aumunio taked very seriously this cituation.
Sorry for all inconveniences. I decided to decline my participation on the cotm, I don't want to be considered a villian anymore, anyway thanks for the support that the people that liked my char and even the people that only wanted Vega.
And I want tell a reflexion that I wanted tell when I won the cotm but it doesn't matter now, I will tell, usually I seen that the people vote for the famous authors just because known the author, even when the new people made good chars, but are unknown, even are more exigent with the new guys than the famous authors, I mean a new guy ask for many things like AI, when actually some famous authors don't have AI on his chars and they won the cotm, and even conditional a vote for the cotm if you add this I vote for you, also I consider unfair that someone that won the cotm can won again the cotm, because is depriving to more users to win and earn motivation to release more things, and be honest some guys want win. So give a oportunity to other guys not always the famous authors, I see good chars made by Sennou-Room, and even the new guy Falcon Rapper, etc. (Even if they hate me I don't have a grudge). So If is possible change the votes, change the votes for me to a someone else guys I hope consider the reflexion.
Also I hope don't judge if not know the cituation in a future not just for me, not all is white and not all is black, I feel dissapointed to see the people that only judge if not know all history and only want to find a guilty or say shit of him.
And for believe that I'm saying the true, here is my vote:

In a future I will make my website to put my chars first, and if have good reception maybe I could release on the forums.
Good luck to every one, now can close the pandora box of this, is not necesarily continue talking of this.
Contact me if you want a color separation, or mugen stuff or if you wanna give a donation I appreciate.

I have no reason to hate you, thanks for voting and regardless of whether or not I ask, cast your Vega, mugen needs more chars in the POTS style, forget COTM, COTY or those insignificant things, the best chars creator of all Times has never had this and is copied to this day (at least in the photo of Mr. Phantom of the Server, I do not see this insignificant green trophy). Think yes, you will do what no one had the courage to do, a Vega with claw, mask, grid wall, in POTS STYLE, this is what should motivate you, at least that is what motivates me (In my case, try to convert sprites from chars from KOF to CVS, in order to launch them, try to do what was not done, or then do it my way), do nothing to please others, but to be good with yourself. :)

IN PORTUGUESE (I use google translator, I don't speak english)

Não tenho razões para odiar você, obrigado pelo voto e independente de vencer ou não eu peço, lance o seu Vega, o mugen precisa de mais chars no estilo POTS, esqueça COTM, COTY ou essas baboseiras, um dos melhores criadores de chars de todos os tempos nunca teve isso e é copiado até hoje (pelo menos na foto de Mr. Phantom of the Server, não vejo esse troféu verde insignificante). Pense sim, que você fará o que ninguém teve coragem de fazer, um Vega com garra, máscara, parede de grade, isso é o que deve motivar você, pelo menos é o que me motiva (no meu caso, tentar converter sprites de chars da KOF para CVS, para assim lançá-los), tentar fazer o que não foi feito, ou então fazê-lo de meu modo, não faça nada para agradar os outros, mas sim para estar bem consigo mesmo.

Alright, so like a day or so ago I dropped in and saw the stuff that was going on with the CotM "bribe"/scandal, so to speak. I was gonna let it die, not say anything about it. Then I saw this:

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

And it all came falling down. Idk where else to put this, but I'm sorry, I have to say what's on my mind about this. There's so much sneak dissing going in this it's pathetic. I'm gonna keep it short though. And I want @varo_hades: to see it.

I honestly never paid you much mind before all this. I gave you feedback once on the Blanka you made, you took none of it into consideration, and then "quit" for a few months. You like to keep throwing out "PotS" this and that every time you edit or release something. I'm not even gonna get into all that. You say you had nothing to do with that Aumio guy trying to register multiple accounts and promote "your" Sakura so you could win. I don't believe you. Though you don't need to prove anything to me, and no sense wasting anytime bothering with it either. You won't change my mind. You try to bribe people into voting for your char, by saying you'll make another if you win, pretty much speaks for itself.

It's not like winning is even a big deal, and you try to play it down like it's not, even vote against your own char. Though if it wasn't a big deal, then why go through all the trouble you initially did? Why try and bribe people to vote for you? I've NEVER seen anyone blatantly try to promote their stuff like you've recently done. Then you say it's unfair if a person can win multiple times? Or an author is "famous" that's why they win? Nice passive aggressive crybaby tactic. Anybody who has won CotM/CotY/SotM/SotY earned that accomplishment. No one is trying to take anything away from anyone else who were in the runnings, whether they win or not. You can try to rationalize it all you want, with your "reflexion"(reflection). What are you reflecting on? Sounds like a bunch of salt to me.

Everyone has an opportunity. That's why nominations and voting is put in place, in the first place. Not just "famous" guys. I could go into a lot more, but why bother. I think I've covered enough for now. You're a crybaby and there's no hiding it now.

that was true...but was in the past..today i knew good creators who never had a mugen wiki article...poor people nobody cares about them...
N64 Mario created sometime ago a very good SFA Vega with detachable mask and claw...http://gcnmario.free.fr/mugen/vega.html I am many years around and seems today is better for mugen get another evil ryo/kyo/iori instead original chars...I am not attacking nobody is just my opinion

I wholeheartedly agree!

It's like people mostly go and get stuff from already established authors they know and like and base their votes on that. They have no consideration for relatively unknown authors and newbies. I-it's like this is... some sort of... popularity contest!

And why this should be different?
After all, there is no man in whole internet, who would every month download every released character, test them all and give 100% measured chose?
Face it, we're all downloading and liking only interesting for us works while ignoring all another ones. And of course, we're most interested in works by already proven for us authors. So, whole this contest is all about competition "Who was most proven one?". We're voting for what we're playing.

I feel like mods or mugen vets, a set table of judges who can test out the releases
Should place the votes for cotm, and then have the popularity contest for every
Body else to vote... Since it's true we don't download and test everything, just
What interest us. Or just have a separate poll vote exclusively for pots style because
Fuck that's what everybody seems to like, like nobody gets tired of that shit and them
Hitsparks, shit is what like almost 10 years old already? I got tired of it, all of it the fxs,
The chars have way to many gameplay mechanics and nobody is really doing them
Right except for like 2 creators lol jmorphman and DW. Varos sakura don't even have
The correct hit pause times on the shoryuken, shit is half assed but that's my opinion

I'm gonna address a few things, then I'm not gonna derail this topic any further.

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

There's no need for a presidential style election for something that doesn't really matter too much in the first place. All I see is a bunch of salt. Especially from this varo. That last bit, that's why I respect you Memo. You aspire to be better and not settle. I rarely ever give feedback or say anything pertaining to work in said manner, cause people are WAY too sensitive. Too willing to settle, never aspiring to be better. Just slap it in, get it working somewhat, and ship it out. They wanna blame it on "popularity". Never stopping to think that they could do better. Stay classy big bruh.



Regardless, this isn't the place to talk about all that. Just drop it and vote.

Piccolo won

Piccolo won CotY. Jailbot got his CotM, indeed.
And of course he got his CotM for a reason, this really was a work of dedication, which got MUCH people interested in itself.

I thought they were released same month, must be that Mandela effect fucking with me

I mean a new guy ask for many things like AI, when actually some famous authors don't have AI on his chars and they won the cotm
This caught my eye from that nightmare of a wall of text. AI is not even remotely important. It's really just a cherry on the top. Like, eventually a japanese person is gonna AI patch it (Or in my case a Game.com worshiping polish guy that wants Japan to think my name is Alpa) so hardly anyone cares.

Honestly you people are so silly about an accolade that's kinda meaningless when you consider that it was achieved by crap like UMKT Shang Tsung and multiple Mr.Infinite characters none of which are his Zangief with suggestive DDTs. If you really want a quick and easy way to earn recognition in the MUGEN community all you have to do is boot up MSPaint and draw Bernice Liu Vice peeing in someone's mouth while standing upright. It worked out well enough for me...In a manner of speaking.

Varos sakura don't even have the correct hit pause times on the shoryuken, shit is half assed but that's my opinion

About that i'm with you Memo, sadly, because i enjoy some of Varo creations, like Gen.
But his Sakura sadly had A LOT of problems to be solved if Varo wants to do a solid Sakura in this style, just like POTS himself did.
But it's my opinion anyway, i really hope that Varo keep working on his Sakura to fix these problems.

About the CotM/CotY, the main essence of the CotM/CotY for me it's you nominate and vote for the character that you enjoyed, for the character that you follow the whole progress of the creation of the character. For me, the CotM/CotY it's not ONLY based on popularity, which is the less important thing, the competition is with the characters that people enjoyed and support the hard work of the creator, even if the character is good or bad.

Let's keep nominate and vote for the chars that we enjoyed and be happy anyway.

It's sad to see this fun little community thing escalate to a serious debate.

Voters are not getting screened for this, so I'm sure popularity is absolutely a factor for some.


I don't watch anime, and haven't even played most of the fighting games from which many characters originate.  I rarely even play MUGEN  :lol:

If and when I vote, I make an effort to place an informed vote by checking out gameplay videos for all the entries and use my best judgement to take my pick.

With that said, I expect many people have many different motives/strategies when voting for a character.

When the votes are tallied, if "the superior character according to the gurus" loses, well that's just how this thing works.

Creator's should never expect to win - just be proud of your work.  Scoring COTM was a very pleasant surprise, and runner up for COTY was a great feeling, but I certainly did not expect or demand these accolades.

Thanks to those who have nominated my CVS Omega Rugal POTS/Infinite, since December of last year I have a char among the nominees, but there will always appear a "silly char" or a famous creator to win this, where winning or losing I keep doing my work. Anyway I'm happy to always have people who recognize my work, which although not as good as many creators, is something that really bring with it some recognition... :purerox:

You too eh? Ok got it.

I don`t want to hurt the proud of anyone, but after all this is a voting...  the choice of the majority of people visiting this site.

Some people will appreciate this beautifully polished main chars from street fighter, king of fighters, etc... and will see the other chars as "simpler"

... While other people will prefer more original creations instead of a new version of a character that is released once every 2 months, with maybe new details that can`t be perceived sometimes, and which have already amazing versions from all kinds and games for mugen...
Come on... it`s 2017... We have played these chars since the 90's... Anyone has any idea how many Ryus there are for mugen... Some people don`t download it anymore...

I am sorry if I hurt someone here, that is not the objective... I am just sharing my opinion... Because I think the worse is when we don`t understand why things happen... So I explain my version... Everyone has his own version... So please people also don`t attack me for exposing mine...
 
It`s a "democracy" (voting) after all and we need to accept the results...

there's nothing better then a perfectly polished CVS char that works like he should and the creator took a dick load of time to make it happen, reasearching how he should work, knowing the original games there so much going into it,there is a reason these people win all the time, and its not cause they are famous or what not.

Is it what it is, grow a thicker skin, or take this on the chin and improve your work, plain and simple.

And yes he is wrong. Very wrong I might add, the original chars have their own charm thats what draws people in, the great cvs conversations are for people like me who like the chars to actually have combos and stuff 90% of the infinite stuff when you turn the chains off the chars cant do shit not to mention most of the moves are broken, Its the same char over and over with diff hypers and specials with no combos, no thanks.
Its only ''POTS'' style in the effects part not under the hood, thats were the real magic happens. Not to mention this chars require no skill to play with,zero,nada.

I'd rather have 100 well made Ryus, then 100, infinite template chars with no combos.Broken move infinite priority and the list goes on and on.
I do actually prefer my POTS/CVS mugen build then the original game, thats how fun it is to me.

There is good chars coming out of the infinite style, Sennou comes to mind, so is Chazzanova's stuff.
Infinite's own stuff is also good.

Thats just my humble opinion, take it as you will.

Its not just CVS or what not MVC, 3rd strike etc, Kamekaze is known for his MVC work, but his Dudley and Yang are the best for mugen so far in my eyes.
The only Dudley I used that the taunt is like 3rd strike's, the rose falling is spot on. Thats how much work these guys put in.
and thats why they win all the time, plain and simple.

I mean thats all your preference, why do the characters have to feel and play the same damn way they did 20 years ago? This is mugen for god sakes. That shit is completely boring to me to play a character that plays the same as it does in the og. Especially these "CVS" characters. And uh I honestly dont care bout this cotm shit anymore after I realized I honestly only make characters for me anyway to fill roster spots. Shit js I'd rather play with falcons, infinites or r@ces shit cuz their fun and different than a stiff ass boring "accurate" character any day.

Thats just shows how much you've used said chars, I will give you and exmaple DW's Rock,  he gave him unique combos that are awesome if you have the skill to pull them off. Same goes for Jman stuff, POTS, etc.

As to what you prefer its apples and oranges to me, whatever suits you go for it, I love the well made properly playing stuff.
You like the crazy chains/No skill/ chars. It is what it is.

One more example, when me and my friends have fight nights, when I first said mugen, the ones who knew what it was, was like hell no dude, fuck no, I was like wait, wait , wait, I pulled my roster, with The POTS/Jman/DW/ Victorys/Knucks stuff, and now they cant get enough of it, and thats people I've been playing fighting games since the 90's take that as you will.

As I've said, its all prefrence but dont try to belittle someone's work, cause they are ''famous'' they are famous for a reason.

One more thing, no one said its about accuracy, 90% of the stuff I mentioned has custom moves, with custom sprites etc.

AND ONE MORE THING !
So called infinite creators, I have dealth with, most of em are arrogant, and act all high and mighty.
 I have PM'ed Jman about stuff, Vans,  and I am forgetting someone but hey, all of them were awesome to me, and responded to my dumbass feedback/questions and gave me great insight.

I have left feedback on DW,s stuff multiple times, about Mai/Psy and he never once popped off on me like Falcon or the other guys.

Thats a reason why people dont even bother giving feedback these days.

Y'all making mugen content in 2017, PS4/Xbone all these new games/technology coming out and you stick with this? That in itself, I always say is proof right there, that you can even be motivated to do this is crazy.
Do your own thing, I guarantee you'll find more pleasure in doing so. Rather than trying to cater to anyone other than you. I understand the appeal of wanting to connect with people whom have similar interests, but as you can see, it ain't like that anymore. You forget why you do it in the first place, for yourself as it should always be. Those who appreciate your stuff will find you on there own.

oh no another discussion about mugen fame or some shit.

you guys are overthinking this. most "serious" mugen creators like dw here make shit for mugen with their preferences when they want to and thats it. no "i dont wanna be famous" or "there are mugen celebrities" or some shit. they get shit done, get feedback, move on.

having overly long paragraphs or something about all of this "mugen famous" stuff just ruins the fun of it all.

call me passionate/Serious/Nerd but the first time I was able to put  DW's Blair Dame/Skullomania vs Jman's Kyo  my mind was blown.  Back when these games came out you can only dream of such a thing.
I do agree about the famous part, but no one should tell you/me/anyone for who to vote. Or imply something thats not true.
but I also appriciate all the work these guys have put in and thats pretty much it.

I envy you guys that can do this stuff like it's nothing, and don't be scared or ashamed of show off...because mugen is awesome. Voting is just one way people can show support to creators.

there's nothing better then a perfectly polished CVS char that works like he should and the creator took a dick load of time to make it happen, reasearching how he should work, knowing the original games there so much going into it,there is a reason these people win all the time, and its not cause they are famous or what not.
Is that what you seriously believe? Disregarding the fact that you've written off any other style that isn't "CvS", you're right, those are the kind of content that should be winning, but the reality is another entirely. Most of those CvS creations you praise so highly weren't researched more beyond what moves they had, not how exactly they work and why.

Its not just CVS or what not MVC, 3rd strike etc, Kamekaze is known for his MVC work, but his Dudley and Yang are the best for mugen so far in my eyes.

As for what and how was researched, I dont really care, tbh, they play awesome, all the combos work I know from the original games, and I think you are kinda underestimating the  amount of work that went into these guys.

Eh, I vote characters because I played as them and they feel great or because I trust the author's quality because they already have a good reputation.

If I don't find anyone interesting among the nominees, I simply don't vote.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you shouldn't be creating to get e-fame.

I've been in this community longer than others (10+ years), but I've mostly dwelled in obscurity as a creator because I only create stuff that I'm interested in. However, each of those characters was something I really wanted to make, and I make them mostly because I want to play as them. It doesn't make a difference how popular they get, but if people have fun with it or give bug reports in an effort to improve it, that itself is enough to make me a little happier.

I dunno, maybe it's an age thing (I'm almost 30), but eventually you realize that it's more about the experience of creating than how many COTM awards you get.

I read everything, and must have to say, you all are making a storm in a glass of water.

I personally doens't see mugen a way to get popularity, as a creator, or spriter.
My characters are made for me and plays in the way I like, and share them only to know if plays OK for the others, to track bugs and improve the creation. If the character will be popular or not, I don't care, I didn't even care if he will take a feedback.

But I agree with ONE thing, characters made to be accurate to their original games are boring, they doesn't have anything special to show, nothing new, it is only accurate. Yes of course I want balanced and decent coded characters on the mugen, thats why we still working, right? This thing of Shin Omega God Ultimate SSJXV Ryu simply just doesn't fit to me, exagerated, and most of them poor coded with 99999999 warnings and a high chance to make your PC in Blue Screen. I look for a balance, a point between the original and classic character where I can put My favourite character inside of a world where he will fight Vega, Ruga, Heihachi, Sigma, Apocalypse and Abyss with good win and lose chances.

I can agree I like it when characters have new moves or changes as long as it's balanced and done well. I do prefer the edits that add something while keeping it nice and balanced to the most accurate character on the planet to the point that you might as well just go play the game on your console or an emulator. But eh it's M.U.G.E.N if people want to make the accurate character that's fine if they want to make an edit that's fine as long as it's well made that's all that matters in the end. Well that and constructive criticism regardless these are once again my thoughts and any differing opinions are okay to me.

The problem is..peoples choose that shin omega (and now the new crap NEGA) with Orochi, Shin, Hyper,Super, Ultra...endless.. instead efforts like new chars like SuperGirl and some others...
the problem with the orochi,gods...was a plague in mugen early days..and become worst later...sadly..instead those can focuss to rip or make more mugen chars from more many games...
and I prefer accurate if is from some fighting game (or improve if the source game is awful crap)

You should care about it more. Your combos work but at what cost? You look deeper and the frame data is all weird, move properties have been altered to have different purposes than their original purpose and in the end the character doesn't feel like the character anymore.
You're overestimating the work that goes through some of these.

While I see your point, there is a lot that goes into making a "source accurate" character that not everyone knows about. The amount of work and dedication to making a, lets say, a source accurate CvS2 or SF3 character is definitely admirable and deserves credit (especially if it's done well, which not a lot of people can do). Making something totally original and clean can be just as credible as someone who made an accurate conversion of a fighter from their respective game. Both are works of art, and show the creativity, dedication, and intelligence from both authors. But either way, it's still a freeware fighting game engine that anyone can make anything on. So do what you wanna do.

Yeah? Tell that to me, pal...

And MY oppinion about this situation...
-About popularity... I really don't think THIS is something you should go on for.
Yes, I admit: I WANT to take CoTM, for at least once. I want to be finally approved as GOOD mugenmaker for this site. But no, no matter what, I'm not getting it. At all.
So, that means I AM not good enough, so I'm trying to selfimprove, to become better. And so every my next work becomes better than previous, I AM growing, gaining experience to make old and new works better. And you know... I believe, If I'll continue like that, one day I'll finally be appreciated as Great charmaker. And appreciation of that will be my own victory at CoTM.
So, yeah... For me, CoTM IS COMPETITION. It isn't way to become OR prove yourself as POPULAR, but way to prove everyone you're WORHT YOUR SALT, to become better while striving for it. To prove, you ARE a good Mugenmaker. Well, I'm still isn't cush, as you can see... But I'm living proof, that P.o.T.S. style isn't pass in Winners. XD
-And about accuracy... I think, main in works NOT accuracy, but QUALITY, how funny they are to play.
Hell, Evil Ken by Reu isn't accurate NOR to any of existing versions of Ken, NOR even to concept of EVIL versions "X+Akuma=Evil". But hell, he is SO WELL MADE he is still indisputable. OR the Ken by Jmorphman. He IS pretty accurate, he follows the chosen way "Beign close to CvS..." really well. Yes, he DO have some customazations, like Jouen Shinryuken and so on, hit he isn't so OC like Evil Ken, he IS based on CvS version of Ken with addition of goodies from every other versions of him. They both are WELL MADE, so they WON'T fade away that easily. Now just try to remember and BADLY made Ken, huh? THis won't be easy task, and no matter, how accurate or custom he is...

I'm surprised people are so butt hurt over all this. CotM is obviously just for fun, it's not a record of the best works or anything. If it were it would be picked by a closed unbiased group of judges, based on quality, creativity, accuracy/no accuracy, and who knows what else.

If you guys want something like that why don't you just put it together and make it happen?

I hate to be that guy but it shouldn't matter what motivates someone to create something here, even if the only reason they are doing it is for fame, popularity or to tease everyone with something they will never release.

Also, if people don't want to study games to make characters accurate or similar, who cares? They might come around to it, they might not. Chances are they know about that option.

It's only a friendly votation. "Winning" or not, this will not change the quality of char for better or worse. [I admit in the past I though odd to see coders winning month after month, but...

You sir... I can NOT, I mean, CAN NOT have said this statement better than how you stated it. I was going to say something way similar to this.
That is so me. I can try to win a COTM but in the end, I can care a lot less if I lose because like you, I create/edit stuff I'm interested in. My Eggman had only 4 votes from other people but I don't care, what matters was that people enjoyed using him and few people pointed out a few things that need fixing and I'm glad they pointed it out.

I thought this topic was dead already. :P

POTS or not, accurate or not. The hard work of the creators needs to be recognized and respected, surely yes.
But fame doesn't matter in MUGEN. MUGEN is just for fun and it's for everyone.

Well, i don't like to repeat myself but...
Let's keep nominate and vote for the chars that we enjoyed and be happy anyway.

That's all. ;)

- some missing Sink or Swim mugen character or stage.
- Spanish Club Nintendo's help section logo.
-a fighter with many assistants
-a fighter who wants helpers
-Jonas Brothers song character stage.

If you guys want something like that why don't you just put it together and make it happen?

there were plans to make a M+ certification either here ebfore the revolution or in mugendev; charcters would get reviewed by a comite of 5 or so people, they would ahve to had certain levels of quality and compatilibity with comunity created standars to receive that. it failed, because of the prospected hurt butts amde it not worth the effort.

the people who take these general-public-driven popularity contests too seriously are in some serious need for attention despite coming here accompanied by their loyal legion of knights of the circlejerk table

also, cvs fanboys are just as bad as sonic fanboys but are still less annoying than the people who go on about how accurate characters are boring and are tired of people releasing the same thing over and over again while doing fucking nothing themselves.

and of course, let's throw in smoke's incoherent rambling just for shit 'n giggles

Later that same day I realized how much whining would come with such a thing. I wish I had never posted that suggestion.

The elite in this community know who they are without a certification but it would be nice if they could get some kind of acknowledgement/was a recode of the effort. It's just not possible because it looks like special treatment. It a shame because it would be pretty cool.

Another option that could happen once a year would be specialized rewards that could also be voted on. For example:
  • Best Newcomer (AKA someone's first character)
  • Best Accurate Conversion (AKA throw all the whatever Vans calls his system these days here)
  • Best Arranged Style (AKA throw all the PotS in here)
  • Best Original Character (AKA throw all the Z2 in here)
The downside is that there's a lot more to keep track of (hence why I'm only suggesting once per year), but I think that's the best way to branch out a bit more than just an all-encompassing "best" category (although that should still be a thing, and maybe the winners from those other categories could also get thrown into the COTY poll if they didn't already get COTM).

makign this yearly seems like a pretty nice idea, also having gold-silver-bronce winners should balance it being yearly.

You guys are kidding your selves. No matter what you do it's never going to be unbiased. People are not unbiased. I see a lot of people claiming they don't care or it doesn't matter but yet they are trying to change things around. Honestly, this is a good example of life for some of you. Things aren't always fair or go the way you want them to. A lot of times in life popularity does get you ahead. That being said, while some times some questionable things win, for the most part i think what's deserving wins.

People are complaining about famous authors winning off of their rep but have you taken the time to think you may lose based off your rep as well. There are people who make the same mistakes with their characters or don't take feed back but complain non stop about the bias against them. Then there are people who actually improve and get better over time. Never mind the fact that we all have certain characters we hold dear and others that don't matter at all.

Even with that i still feel like special things rise to the top. I've never even seen super jail but seeing the progress, hard work and dedication put into Jailbot made me want to try him out. These liberals are making everyone soft (this coming from a liberal).
It's all the same in the end, matter and motion, simple or complex. No difference, finally. Death, transfiguration. Ashes to ashes and slime to slime, amen.

Thanks :yippi:

I know my opinion doesn't mean much in this thread since I actually won a COTM, but like I said earlier everyone has reasons they submit their votes.  Sometimes the motive is popularity!  Other people have different criteria.  If I did not get COTM, I would not have whined about a majority of rando internet peep votes not favoring my release.

The thing that sort of bothers me with the cotm is that it leads up to the coty, which is fine and all but my fear is that one of these lesser general quality cotm characters (Some that come to mind are Dr. Doom by infinite, and Yamazaki by R@ce) might just end up being coty. I doubt that they ever will but It is a possibility considering both the coty and the cotm are popularity votes which could potentially lead to that.

An idea might be to leave the cotm as it is but have the coty go through judges judging on categories on order to see if the character is fit to be coty considering coty is technically representing the best character of that year. I know that Idea might sound elitist as all hell but I think it would be more of an effective method than what it currently is because I feel that putting the characters up against certain characteristics of a high quality mugen character should have, as opposed to letting the public go hog wild and vote who they think is best. Another benefit from it would allow mugen content creators a standard to aim for with creating a higher quality since they would know what they are looking for.

On a side note considering the p.o.t.s, CvS, derivative styles controversy that's going on with the cotm, I have taken a look at all the years of the cotm previous to 2017 and noticed that 36% of the characters there fit the bill (I've put question marks beside the ones I'm not sure about)

Spoiler: List of characters (click to see content)

So I can see why people might get salty that a p.o.t.s, CvS, and/or a derivative style character wins the cotm (another interesting note, every year has had either a Jmorphman or DivineWolf character in it)

I only like it because of things like EX and other new moves added to the character. Well when it works that is. Also because I like to see any new sprites that's about why I like pots style. Though it isn't my favorite I don't really have a favorite because my opinions fluctuate constantly.
Right now I kinda prefer DivineWolf's and Victorys's characters than POT's styled ones.

Even if you have judges people are not going to be happy. That's just the nature of the beast with contests. Look at all the award shows and contests. Whether by panel or fans people are always upset and some time for good reason. Let's say you have a technically brillant character but for lack of better words (or me just being lazy) no one actually enjoys playing with it. Honestly thats just as bad as some busted, pandering character or style.

I don't think people are being honest with theirselves. If anything i'd say maybe have two winners, one thats voted by the people and one by panel. That way you can at least serve both crowds. Then you wouldn't even have to do a overhaul or add that much extra work.

to be honest, adding extra work helps the fighter stand out better but that doesn't guarantee popularity. it may also have to do with lack of public showcasing. for example you release a character for a project you're doing but you don't even bother making a separate release thread that focus on the character itself.

No wonder I work on other things these days and feel much better... I guess that one guy with the Talbain avatar is right in a way, never thought I'd say that. Do what you LIKE and you will start feeling fulfilled. Popularity contests are bullshit and they affect even the best of creators. Hell that one character I put out last year got no recognition despite being made on a deadline for the woman I still love more than anything, and while I was disappointed then, now it's like, whatever, I did what I wanted to do and nobody else would.

I'm with Arpa. Getting this salty in public just exposes your true intentions, as if they weren't obvious to others to begin with.


And Jessica Smoke still doesn't understand the concept of parody as usual.

A lot of you are missing the point to why this thread even exists. It isn't because of who wins. It isn't because of what motivates one to win. It's because of those who are salty and try to sneak diss people when they don't win. If you want to be "popular", fine. I'm not gonna question your morals or judge you. Whatever gets you going, so be it. It's when you come in here and cry about not winning is when I start losing respect and calling you out.

  • Does this look like the face of mercy?
Another option that could happen once a year would be specialized rewards that could also be voted on. For example:
  • Best Newcomer (AKA someone's first character)
  • Best Accurate Conversion (AKA throw all the whatever Vans calls his system these days here)
  • Best Arranged Style (AKA throw all the PotS in here)
  • Best Original Character (AKA throw all the Z2 in here)
The downside is that there's a lot more to keep track of (hence why I'm only suggesting once per year), but I think that's the best way to branch out a bit more than just an all-encompassing "best" category (although that should still be a thing, and maybe the winners from those other categories could also get thrown into the COTY poll if they didn't already get COTM).
so... basically do the same thing RS forums did a couple of years ago, amirite?
i do not believe those and me are creepy....and I am working doing that still...love h entai is not creepy...
leaving aside what's wrong with everything else you said i just want to point out something:

now, as far as i know you made a tremendously painfuly-long argument in the spanish topic several years ago about how hentai was the worst thing since sliced hitler and how it denigrated women, that it was basically child pornography and even if it feautures mature and well developed characters said characters had the mind of a child and therefore was just as bad (if not worst), that IRL porn was better because no matetr how bad and denigrating to IRL women was, it was all nice and fair because those legally aged women had given their consent to participate in said acts and that people who enjoyed hentai were disgusting creeps who also happen to be potential child molesters.

i might be paraphrasing but i think that's the gist of it. now i only saw part of said long argument and read what other talked about it. so can someone from the spanish topic from back then back me up here?

the point i'm getting at is that you now say that there's nothing wrong with hentai or the people who enjoy it (and even draw perverted things yourself). NOW, does this appiles to hentai in general or just the stuff YOU draw?

//edit: and yes! you're a creep.

By a few years ago you mean almost a decade, right???

And no, there'd be way less self-backpatting and no WORST CHARACTER category

Guys, if you're really that worried for some creators not getting the appreciation they deserve, you know that there's a simple, hassle-free solution to that problem, right? Just tell them how much you like their work. Post in their release topics and let the world know that their creations are fun and completely worth downloading.

Unless, of course, your only concern is yourself not feeling appreciated enough, in which case I guess it's okay to keep whining like a baby about it. I'm sure this will help boosting your popularity tremendously.

You can't improve without such a thing easily.

In their defense, I can totally understand how some people within the community go unnoticed despite their best efforts in putting a character they genuinely enjoy creating only to see them fade into obscurity because someone made a half-assed PotS styled character to garner more attention these days for example.

Well, indeed, we all DO have our Demons, Jessy. But you know, NORMAL PEOPLE ARE USUALLY HIDING THEM!
I don't care if you LOVE Hentai MUGEN, this in unappropriate here. Try to SHUT UP about it until you're in appropriate Forum/Site/MugenАrchive, allright?
