The Genesis 6 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate seeding controversy erupted in early 2019 during the game's first major competitive event. Fans and top players, including veterans like ZeRo and Leffen, expressed outrage over what appeared to be illogical and chaotic bracket placements. The seeding led to numerous 'death pools' and early-round matches between top-tier talent that should have met in the final stages of the tournament. This sparked a wave of memes mocking the tournament organizers, often depicting the seeding process as being handled by a random number generator or total guesswork. Today, it remains a legendary reference point for discussions regarding competitive integrity and the growing pains of the Smash Ultimate scene.
