Another option would be to use a "points " system rather than elimination. Each person has to fight every other person once in a one-on-one match; the winner gets +1, the loser -1 (like timed Smash battles). Whoever has the top score at the end wins, and in the event of a tie, there's a winner-takes-all final match.
