With the annoncement of the tournament mode in Brawl coming in the last few days brings back the memories of a little gripe that I had with Melee.
Seeding.... or rather lack of.
Having a few friends round occasionally to play a good game of smash bros we eventually began to play large tournaments to mix things up a bit. We would ideally like to face each other in the later rounds, having battled a few computer opponents to warm ourselves up. However, more often or not, we would go through the whole long process of seting one up only to find one or more of us would be facing each other in the first round. This does begin to annoy. If the dev team only added a seeding option used on various sports games and such, this would eliviate the stress caused when setting up large tournaments with few human players.
At the bottom of the tourny section on the official site it does say they are working to make this part of the game more enjoyable, I wonder if any of you could suggest this idea to the dev team.
How many others have had the same gripe?
