Player of the Decade (POTD) - Nominations
01/12/20 at 11:00:16
 
A bit late but thought it would be criminal not to do this now when we have this rare chance.

So basically, nominate players who stick out as being truly the best/most influential/greatest mkw people from 2010-2019. (MAX 10 nominations, you can do less if you want.)

Note that this doesn't have to be entirely based of times (although it can, you can nominate whoever the hell you want), I think people who have helped the TT community (tutorials, generating interest etc.) deserve to be on this list too.

I'll make the vote (8 most nominated) once the nominations stop coming in.



My picks:


Fox

In my opinion the most dominant any player has been at a single point in this decade, maybe even the history of the game. He was way ahead of his time in every aspect, can't say much more. He also ran the weebly top 10's and MKW Records. Respect.


Totom

A perfect mix of all-rounder and track specialist. He is another player that was ahead of his time, definitely worthy of a nomination.


Cole

Cole has been consistently improving and setting WR over the entire decade. He's one of the very few players who have kept playing throughout the decade, a true OG. Also runs mkwrs.com, something we all rely on.


Sword

Similar to Cole, Sword has been playing on and off for the entire decade, still being at a high level today, something that very few players have been able to do.


MrBean

A bit controversial since he's not much of a TTer, but the TT community wouldn't be the same today without all the hard work he's put into the game. I think he definitely deserves a nominations, if not for basically saving the game from death, but at least for having the longest lasting WR in the game's history.


Jascha

Another one of the absolute greats of the decade. He's managed to stay on top more consistently than even Cole and Sword in my opinion. Being able to still compete at a super high level on so many tracks while also being untouchable on a couple to this day is incredible.


Luke

I just can't leave him out of this, even though he only started to properly grind regs in 2017, he's already upped the level on so many tracks and inspired others to push this game to the absolute limit. That in my eyes deserves a nomination.


Liam

Although lately he hasn't been playing much, he was easily one of the top players for many years and could play many different types of tracks.


Troy

I can already smell the pitchforks oh god

Basically, I think that most people playing right now wouldn't be here because of Troy. Hell, I sure wouldn't be. Even though Troy is a bit of a meme, you have to admit he has generated so much interest about MKW, and without him, the community just wouldn't be what it is. Can't deny the facts.


Justin

Justin is the most all-round player in the modern day, there's no track that he can't compete on. He might have not been around for the longest, but he is the epitome of the insane optimization of the game that has taken place recently. Finds ct glitches for breakfast, need to mention that.


Honourable mentions (in no particular order):

Blaze
NMeade
KingAlex
Braixen
Sam F
Axel
Niyake



My nominations probably arent the best since I haven't really been around for very long at all. I definitely missed out on people in the early parts of the century, it would be cool to see more veteran players vote and see the picks they have.

Let's make this a thing this decade so we don't need to wait another 10 years to do this! You don't have to explain every pick, a list will do just fine aswell.

I nominate:

Bean - Longest Lasting WR, and just being epic in general with all the tools he's provided the community with

Sword & Cole - Only players who have set a WR every single year since launch. (2016 does not exist)

Fox - Biggest WR Domination

Niyake - GV Reign and being one of the only Japanese players not to fuck off after WFC died. (He's also the first player to set a WR in 3 different decades)

Jascha - Holding a WR for 96% of the games life.

My opinion shouldn't really matter cause all I do is just lurk this place from time to time. Also I am by no means an expert at this stuff, but here are my nominations for this decade.

Fox (Of the 2010's he is by far the most dominant player out of anyone else. As of right now there is only one or two people I think can get to his level of dominance. If not, possibly surpass his level of dominance.)

Justin (Hasn't been around in the TT scene as long as others have (from what I can find, correct if wrong pls so i can edit), but has pushed a lot of tracks in points of progression and optimization. also proving to be well rounded in both glitch and no-glitch charts (well to a level that I haven't seen from anybody else yet. In my opinion as for Time Trials go, he has a shot of matching or surpassing Fox's dominance.)

Luke (Yeah I don't think I need to explain this one, he's just a madman with some affinity to improve on any course he picks up. Legend in my books. Edit: Had to add this in since I forgot to put it in, but Luke also has a chance to match Fox's dominance.)

Blaze (A bit of a underrated pick, but his contributions to certain tracks is somewhat mind boggling, with examples like BCWii glitch and MG no-glitch. Also to mention what he's also been able to do with TAS as far as finding new glitches (rWS glitch, rSL glitch, and rDKJP glitch, although at the time rWS wasn't thought to be doable by a human with the method found). His contributions to time trials will never be forgotten from me.)

Bean (Kept the game alive. Simple as that. Overall he is very dedicated to this game, and it shows with the work he's done.)

Cole (Runs mkwrs.com, but not just for Mario Kart Wii, but for the entire franchise as a whole (although I'm not sure if I should mention that, but fuck it there it is). His contributions to outing several early cheaters can not be forgotten either.)



Honorable Mentions: (in no order...)
NMeade (old site Champion, was the first dominant site champion of this decade.)
Troy (although for content contributions, not exactly player or TT contributions, all I could remember from earlier is that he was good on Wi-Fi, oh and his popularity rockets past any other mario kart creator afaik.)
Niyake (known for his GV glitch reign, and has appeared again as for to protect his reign, and overall a cool guy, respectable.)
King Alex (literally throws himself at anything; in other words he's a maniac someone detain him)
Totom (In my opinion the first technical god when it comes to technical records. With rWS being his largest feat.)
Sword (High level player. Has at least set a WR for every year except for 2016 along with Cole.)
Jascha (Elite level player. Wish he would stop vanishing out of thin air.)

Seeing there hasn't been a nomination for 24 hours, I'll make the poll tomorrow. Please nominate people if you want, there's currently a tie for 8th most nominations (Justin and Blaze both have 5)

If there's a tie for 8th place at the making of the poll, there will only be 7 options to vote for (PP allows max 8 options, and it would be unfair to randomly choose who doesn't make the cut  Sad)




Nominations close 15th January 2020 at 2pm GMT
