just the 5 i mentioned need to be removed.
Samus would guaranteed win that tournament. So you need to remove at least six, because there's doubt between who wins between Mega Man, Sonic, Crono, MissingNo.
Mega Man
Samus
Crono
Sonic
Ezio
Shepard
Master Chief
Pikachu
If Pikachu only managed a 5-seed in 2010, I don't see him being nominated enough to snag a 1-seed in this hypothetical tourney. And Crono only managed a 4-seed, which was curious.
