who the FUCK thought that Mega Man X should be pitted against Isabel from ACNL. Thats like organizing a boxing match between Mike Tyson and a 8 year old girl.

Isabel shouldve been pitted against Geno, which wouldve been a much more equal match. That wouldve put Tifa Lockheart against Mega Man X, which is also MUCH more fair.

Seriously, how can you fuck up that badly?

Guys, I know how seeding works. This is more just to vent, since it is frustrating seeing such unfairness. And at a certain point, this is someones fault. There should be monitors that watch out for extremely unfair situations. Without that, whats the point? Whats the point of having a contest where the winner is basically predetermined? If the system allows for this level of unfairness, there is simply no point to this contest. It 100% defeats the purpose of having a contest.

I understand how it works... and I am advocating for a systemic change (which implies that the mechanics of the system become different).

How does the post contradict itself?

There's like five characters in the whole bracket that Isabelle could actually defeat, so yes, this contest is how seeding works.

Unfair matches in early rounds make for more interesting matches later in the tournament

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

the point is to get the boring matches out of the way in round 1 so the rest of the contest is more interesting

Without seeding (or with changing the seeds as you're suggesting), all of the "close" matches happen in round 1, and then every later round becomes larger blowouts such as you are complaining about.
