I did not do any seeding within the seeds with the bracket - it would be really tough.

Yeah, that's fair. I would only propose it for the first few seeds, where the distinctions are noticeable enough to justify a ranking, and even then, your 3-seed order looks right on the money based on influence to me. It just feels odd to not see Mario at the top, though looking at the previous version of your bracket, its top seeds weren't really ordered within the seed either.

Here's about how would rank the 1 and 2-seeds in terms of influence:

1: Mario, Link, Sonic, Samus, Snake, Cloud, Pikachu, Mega Man
2: DK, Pac-Man, Lara Croft, Luigi, Sephiroth, Bowser, Ganondorf, Zelda

Also,

I might be starting a new discussion topic relating to contests, similar to one from a few years ago that discussed the potential strength of new characters.

I would definitely follow along if you decided to do something like this.
