The real impact of a special arena would only be seen in a video. And there would be hilarious fatalities all over the place.

Can we run it like SAs current tournament? I'm not sure if it has a name but they are running 3 preliminaries with winners passing through based on kills, and then switching to knockout rounds after that.

don't really like the idea of doing it randomly. it takes out some of the strategy.
How so? So far, the only strategy I've seen is get powerful faster. If anything, the strategy is in your initial setup.

adapting to the different opponents you are going to fight, saving points for later use when fighting an opponent you know you can beat, planning out how you're going to upgrade stuff, etc.

this is all really just for people who care too much though

Well with random, you get the best fighter, rather than the best strategist.

Or the luckiest. But on the other hand it takes away the luck provided by initial seeding, which could theoretically get a terrible fighter the Finals with full knowledge that they didn't need to put very many points in.

Random is the fairest. *shrug*
