Wait a second. So if I beat Pakky, you beat me, and Pakky beat you, who won?

That's what I'm asking :p

Usually it'd be based on something like games won and lost, but I don't know how it works here.

or we can just redo the pool so I can have revenge on Pakky and their K Rool

The best i can think of is
1st you
2nd Pakky
3rd Just penguin
But that in itself makes no sense

Yeah. It's almost like players perform better against different characters and other players, and it's futile to try to calculate the skill of players in a simple ranked list, as everyone performs differently under different conditions. Oh wait. That's exactly what it is.

But then I can make the same argument again because I beat Just a Penguin (2-0, at that).

I don't really mind either way where I end up (plus it's kinda hard for me to say anything without it sounding too much like "hey I should actually be 1st this sucks"), but it should have been explained earlier how a situation like this would be resolved, since if you're going to have small pools where people only play each other once, this situation is inevitable.

I hadn't anticipated a situation like this, otherwise I would have had a better solution.

For now, Just look at it like this: Noone is out of the tournament yet

I’m telling you, it’d be great if we could do Tourney mode online.

Maybe. I'm just trying to think outside the box here, because if we think inside the box, we'll go nowhere.

Unless someone Comes up with a better solution, this is my ruling

Ok, here's my perspective.
1. One won set can't be better than another won set. A win is a win.
2. Each of us beat somebody and lost to another.
3. None of us can really claim that we "won", unless we disregard rule 1.
4. Therefore, I would declare this a 3-way tie.
5. I don't see a way to determine a real winner in the future.
6. Either all of us deserve to get a spot in the tournament or none of us.
7. Obviously, at least one of us deserve to be in the tournament.
8. Therefore, all of us deserve to be placed into the tournament.
