Ah gotcha.  Still the whole thing just took too long, and again should've been decided before the match.  Like they would discuss that if Goi gets off the loser bracket then SonicFox will want the left side so switch sides right after, or do that coin flip before the whole match start.  This way both players know exactly what to expect next and can still remain focused.

Yeah, it should have been done much quicker. Deciding a coinflip beforehand would help. Tekken 7 has a very interesting system that other fighting games could use. It allows both players to appear on the side of their choice on their screen. But in a tournament setting this would require two monitors per station, and while that is some times done on stage, they probably can't have 2 monitors for every station in pools.

I wondered about that too, like why cant they just have two monitors?  Is it that difficult or budget wise? Or they want to give the appeal of how its like at home or at the arcade, but then again at home people can play online and arcades can have front to front monitors like they do in a lot of Japanese arcades.

That Tekken system sounds really brilliant and should be implemented in all fighting games.
