I have been playing the game since opening day, and have seemed to notice some strange occurrences with the "Random" option, the character one in particular.
Is it just me, or does it seem like there are actually set "themes" instead of randomness? For example, I have had many a match-up, where I, as say, Captain Falcon, would end up facing a Captain Falcon as my opponent. This may not seem like such a hard thing to accomplish, but I believe that the odds of that happening (using a 36-character roster) would be 1 in 36^2, or 1 in 1296. Well, I have had it happen a lot more than every 1296 fights. Instead, it's about 1 in 8. I have even had it happen where 3 characters are the same.
Does it not strike you as odd that such a thing could continously happen? How random is the system really?
Or is it just me that is experiencing this?
