The first round is always seeded so that popular characters face popular characters (Waluigi v Aerith), and characters of much lower popularity face characters of similar popularity (Aloy v D.Va). Its just a scam to make sure that half the really popular characters get eliminated right away, and less popular characters get a chance to make it past the first round. If Waluigi was facing off against either Aloy, or D.Va, it would be a lock for him to make it to the second round...

you do realize there are seeds based on the # of nominations, right?

He called it a scam so he probably doesn't believe that.

Considering how often we have been lied to about the way these contests are run the last few times (See Undertale winning Best Game, and Draven winning the last Character Battle), I am much less inclined to believe this.

Okay, keep believing the lies.
Both were proven to have had bots stuffing votes, and both were allowed to win even after the proof surfaced.

I was here in 2013 and saw the rally happening with my eyes.

I'm not trolling. I was here too, and there was irrefutable proof each time the rally started that there was bot-stuffing.
At this point the trolls are the people who actually believe that it was legit...

Hey, wow, this is the opposite of the usual accusation that it's "rigged" to make smaller characters always fight the big names in round 1.

How does that even make sense? In every tournament bracket format ever it's always seeded so that lower rank battles higher rank, that's not exactly "rigging", is it? Just the way a tournament bracket is usually seeded?

Correct.

We're talking about, like, typical Reddit comments whenever they make posts about our contests.

Right...
Waluigi v Aerith, and Aloy v D.Va?
If it were seeded by rank Waluigi, and Aerith, both high seeds, would be battling Aloy and D.Va, clearly low seeds...
