All right, so...
-While most of the matches I've written have been released in chronological order (AKA, as they've been released), Match 153 was my first match posted; however, it was the second one I wrote. The first match I actually wrote and submitted to the KWC was Match 155.

Dogora vs. Mothra Leo was written with Dogora obtaining victory in mind. This was done seeing as Mothra Leo hadn't lost a match (at the time), Dogora hadn't had a victory, and hadn't appeared in a match for a long time. Sure, there were some rather unfortunate oversights on my part (notably that Leo may have had the power to kill Dogora with his powder, which I
think is poison), but I tried to ensure that Leo would be no pushover.

Black Moth vs. Maguma was a match that I kind of hated for a long time. I've let it go now, especially seeing how people genuinely enjoy the match. It's not to say that I didn't enjoy writing it; I did to an extent (notably the monster scenes and playing around with Black Moth). Unlike most of my matches, where I have at least a loose idea of what I want to do, this one I had no clue how to end it period. So I kind of made it up on the fly and, rather unfortunately in my eyes, kind of reimagined Malik too much, imo. Plus, as I hadn't seen Latitude Zero in a long time when I wrote that match, I missed out on a TON of small opportunities to help enhance the match from a storytelling perspective. Especially now knowing that Malik had a partner (Lucrecia I think it was) and that he called Kroiga "Little One"... Easily could've done a better job with that match. But what's done is done.
-Fun fact: there may or may not be a sequel brainstorming in my head for Match 155 which I found ultimately unsure if I will do it or not. Nothing to extravagant or anything (at least compared to other ideas I have in store). The sequel I had in mind would've been
Orochi (Heisei) vs. Maguma, C-Rex and Zone Fighter where Maguma would've been slain, ZF was taking care of C-Rex only to find Orochi, and Orochi winds up conquering both of them, left to his own devices. Also would've had a subplot with the Zone family taking on Malik and the Black Shark. May have also referenced a disastrous touchdown from a certain space monster in eastern Russia... Yeah, I was originally going to connect Match 153 and 155 together. Whether I'll do that is very unlikely at this point.
-Speaking of sequels, there's actually a continuation of Match 153; when it'll be posted is beyond me. Though I think it'll be... interesting.

Black Moth vs. King Caesar (Millennium) actually had an interesting inspiration, and a funny (or stressful
) moment for anyone who was around. A long time ago, there was a TK user who kept on requesting for "King Caesar vs. Black Moth! Battle of the mammal kaiju!" or something to that extent. This kind of got to the point to where TitanoGoji16 had to step in and pretty much told 'em to shut it. I took genuine interest in the idea of the match, though didn't get around to writing it until I remembered this obscure moment in KWC history.

Bemular and Goliath vs. Mechagodzilla (Showa) I actually hit multiple birds with one stone with this. Greyshot brought up the idea of Mechagodzilla May-Hem, something which I was fully onboard for. Meanwhile, around this time, everyone was demanding Showa Godzilla. So effectively, as Greyshot and I talked about what to do with Mechagodzilla Showa and Fake Godzilla, we reached the conclusion that Fake Godzilla would be our Showa Godzilla substitute. With this in mind, I suggested the devious plan of trolling everyone that we'd add Showa Godzilla, only to pull the covers and reveal that it was Mechagodzilla.
So yes, Match 170 was written to troll everyone (hence why I started dropping teasers, because I wanted everyone to think it was Showa Godzilla).
Plus, I was unsure if anyone had done the "Fake Godzilla appears mistaken to be Godzilla; psyche it's Mechagodzilla" plot, so I wanted to do that as well as give MG a victory just in case (and glad I did!). Though did you also know I half-considered letting Bemular and Goliath get the victory? Interesting how that would've turned out... But I stood with MG to be safe.

Godzilla (Heisei) vs. Bagan actually may have not been made had it not been for my co-writer, shippersdreamer. You literally pulled a ton of weight, and I'm grateful for that. I'll be sure to pull more of my own weight in the future.
Not much to say, besides the fact that it took us roughly all of September to complete (I think). Actually, shippers had to complete this one TWICE because I when I took over to start adding extra detail and fight scenes, I kind of took it in my own direction and didn't know how to smoothly tie it in to what shippers already wrote.
Fortunately, I supplied a loose outline and let shippers take the rest when I lost steam.
-Speaking of 190, I only had two options for the outcome: a draw or a victory for Bagan. The only reason I didn't choose the latter option was because I didn't want to upset the fact that this match brought in Super Godzilla and give the mentality of "Oh, Super Godzilla's weak!" or whatever. Felt like it would've been obvious had Godzilla won the match.
-Speaking of shippers, I was originally going to write
King Ghidorah (Heisei) and Mecha-King Ghidorah vs. Grand King Ghidorah. But due to a hard writer's block and overthinking way too much, I axed it and passed it off to shippers to do their interpretation. Needless to say, really happy with that.
