Offtopic but what was doomsday?
also mind telling me where some of these guys are nowadays?

Were people actually good in 1998-1999 or would they have been crap by today's standard?

Yeah, but he wasn't anywhere close to the people in that list
Lots of players were server-specific sparrers, especially when playerworlds were still popular

For example, Classic: Exodus, Clel, Jet, Rob, a bunch of others
Doomsday: Sliq, InZane
Babylon: David, Stella, Sephiroth
Delteria: Evenglare, Listless
Atlantis: Fuma, XStorm, Destroyer
UN: Neo, Magnus, NoMaD, a bunch of others

People like Ares, Halo, myself, etc. in the list I mentioned kind of hopped from playerworld to playerworld and just won whatever weekly tournament was going on at the time, would just spar everywhere and show up 30 minutes before a tournament and annoy everyone

Anyway, if I had to narrow it down to "best ever" from those time periods, I don't have enough knowledge of 1998-1999 to really say, but I'd say Brett for 2000+ onward just based on sparring style, overall wins, how often he played, etc.
I think the majority would probably say Neo though

who even uses c-style sparring

Originally DraXi and Killermech were best sparrers and Clops/Highlander were the best godlike Pk'rs.

Entrancer aka Bloodysin was sparring when I was at my best in 99 and I beat him in more tournies than he did me js I have proof thanks to clops and some old screenies from then =p

I was at my prime and confidently said "I was best in late '99 and throughout 2000" always trying to find challenges but left the sparring scene in late 2000 to make Shaded Legend and work for Graal as a brand and didn't return to sparring until 2007.

Thor and Mighty dominated sparring on Classic during the end of Classic. It always used to be them 2 winning the tourneys.

Badass MotherF**ker?
Really? Graal sparring makes you that?
They trained me how to kill people with two fingers and how to do the damn crucible and I haven't been called that one time.
