I got into an internet argument today about seeding so I am just going to vomit words about it.
Seeding in the fighting game community is largely a joke, since it's based on largely arbitrary factors and sometimes based on nothing at all. It's not the fault of the tournament organizers; rather the fault lies with the fact that the FGC is so segmented and lacks unified structure. The most common way a tournament is seeded is by perceived skill. You put a relatively equal amount of top players into each pool and then just let them play it out. This totally disregards results, and results should matter in regards to seeding.
