On December 28th, 2015, it was announced by the GENESIS 3 staff that a seeding system would be implemented for both ''Melee'' and ''Smash 4'' singles tournaments, which would allow 64 seeded players from ''Melee'', and 32 from ''Smash 4'' to bypass the first round of pools, by floating these players further in the bracket.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/events/1045567522141549/permalink/1087977311233903/ |title=Facebook post informing the decision to seed players for both games |publisher=Facebook |accessdate=2015-31-12}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3yldq5/top_32_seeds_do_not_have_to_play_in_pools_at/ |title=Post on r/Smashbros informing the decision to seed players |publisher=Reddit |accessdate=2015-31-12}}</ref> The announcement was followed by immediate backlash from the community and many known tournament organizers, which expressed concerns regarding tournament integrity and the criteria for seeding those players.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shoryuken.com/2015/12/29/genesis-3-will-float-top-smashers-through-first-round-of-competition/ |title=GENESIS 3 Will Float Top Super Smash Bros.

==Tournament summary==
===''Melee''===
GENESIS 3, like the two GENESIS events prior, featured another {{Sm|Armada}} vs. {{Sm|Mang0}} grand finals. Mang0 arrived in grand finals following a lengthy losers' run; after losing to {{Sm|Axe}} in winners' quarters, he defeated {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|Nintendude}}, {{Sm|PPMD}}, Axe, and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} to make it to losers' side of grand finals. After a 3-1 bracket reset, Armada emerged victorious in the second set 3-1, claiming his second GENESIS title.
{{Sm|Mew2King}} was notably upset by {{Sm|SFAT}} in winners' quarters and by {{Sm|Nintendude}} in losers' round of 12, finishing 9th.

==Trivia==
* GENESIS 3 is the second tournament to surpass 1,000 entrants on more than one game, succeeding [[EVO 2015]], while preceding [[EVO 2016]].
* GENESIS and [[Apex (tournament series)|Apex]] are the only tournament series to have hosted at least one of the largest Smash tournaments for each of the four main games (excluding ''[[Project M]]'').
* GENESIS 3 took place at the same time and in the same venue as Furcon 2016.
* GENESIS 3 Melee Singles Grand Finals was a repeat of the last two editions, with {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Mango}} facing off.
** There were also several other key similarities between GENESIS 3 and the first two editions:
*** Not only did Mango and Armada face off in Grand Finals, but Mango came from Losers bracket while Armada was in Winners, as with the first two editions.
*** Mango was taken out by an Arizona player in Winners bracket ({{Sm|Axe}}), and defeated said Arizona player in a rematch in Losers bracket decisively. This is parallel to [[GENESIS 2]], where Mango was defeated in Winners by {{Sm|Taj}} and defeated him later in Losers bracket.
*** Mango defeated Hungrybox in Losers Finals to advance to Grand Finals, as with [[GENESIS]].
**** Mango also defeated Hungrybox in Losers bracket at GENESIS 2, although it was not in Losers Finals.
