OK, I see where you're coming from. I have a better idea. Instead of having a coin flip, how about we do this:dude that gimmick tourney sounds WHACK. whoever wins the coin toss will very likely win because they'll get two chances to pick. and they can just pick their two best characters, assuming the other player is nowhere near as efficient with your two best. which will be the case most of the time.
just putting in my two cents, i know it's just a gimmick tourney so it's not too big a deal.

Before Game 1 is played, have one of the players pick random in the character select screen and pick whatever stage. Whatever character that player gets ON RANDOM is the character both players must use for the first game.
Once you see what character must be played, stop the game and both characters must pick the character that was randomly selected and play Game 1.

The rest of the rules go as originally planned.
Better?
