So anyone who didn't get 10%+ got a 16 seed, and seeding was mostly in order of percentage gotten, although a couple things get swapped around. Those who finished highly on that day seem to get a little bit of preference (such as The Boss and Axel getting 15s despite finishing with lower percentages than a couple characters who got 16s). Liquid Snake got hosed though! He finished higher than Big Daddy on the same day and still ended up with a lower seed.
