Well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who notices, mostly on the versus forums, the common trends that go in and out. Right now I'm noticing a lot of Despero, and the occaisional Illuminati, which is more attention then it normally gets. Probably due to the upcoming series and the newest group (which pwns all others )
Of course, we get these things every now and then, and people pick up on it. Somebody comes up with a good idea, people want to try him out in different situations, or they smack their heads and think "Damn, why didnt I think of that?"
So, I made this little thread to talk about the most recent trends.
I wonder who's the biggest trend-setter?
Maybe Golem... but half the time I'm too lazy to click on all his links.
Personally, in my own little world, I like to think I set all the trends.
I'll just assume you all agree.
Despero will be on the way out though, I think, as the tourney moves along.
Funny thing is, sometimes it isn't even a flavor of the week. We'll see flavor of the days, flavor of the afternoon's, flavor of the hours. And later that same day? They'll be washed off the front page.
I was responsible for the slew of Iron Fist threads a while back - bumping older ones like crazy, just because I liked the character and hadn't seen a thread with him in a while.
And Pheonix, Flash, and Wolverine seem to make the biggest appearences. Even guys like Superman, Spidey, and Bats have steady output, but never really become "flavors"
It usually happens when either a) someone makes a new respect thread which shows a lot of high-end showings, b) a new and relatively powerful character is introduced, c) a character has just had a very high showing, d) when a character gains an upgrade, or e) a combination of the above.
Yeah, but those don't sound as good as 'flavor of the week'
Anyways, Despero has been around for a while, and garnered enough popularity to stick around, though probably until either Majestic takes over (which, judging by the most recent thread, seems likely), or until the new drafts for BD's tourney.
Yeah. It's justified enough. But I doubt it will last that long. Perhaps raise the Illuminati's rep/popularity more, but soon enough there will be another trend.
BD's tourney's next draft is Thursday. I bet there arre a lot of good ideas for character picks floating around.
