SC2K5 Round 1 Flood
Kefka 48.9%
Kefka and Vercetti classic erupts into a cheating scandal 1

Kefka and Vercetti produced a long, volatile comeback battle that became one of the contest's biggest Board 8 explosions. The drama was ultimately overshadowed by confirmed and alleged vote-stuffing on both sides, turning a classic close match into a major cheating controversy.

Cheat: The writeup documents extensive vote-stuffing and exploit use around both entrants, including votes removed by CJayC and admitted multi-voting by several users. It treats cheating as central to the match's final hours and aftermath.

BSE2K6 Round 1 Mushroom
Warcraft 50.4%
Warcraft rallies past GTA as vote stuffing hits the losing side 2

Warcraft upset GTA in a close match dominated by outside-site campaigning, especially from the World of Warcraft community. The aftermath also confirmed vote stuffing, mostly for GTA, but the writeup stresses that Warcraft still won fairly without those fraudulent votes deciding the result.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup says both sides rallied heavily, with World of Warcraft forum traffic giving Warcraft the decisive outside push. It also quotes CJayC confirming egregious vote stuffing, overwhelmingly for GTA, while stating that the fraudulent votes were insufficient to change Warcraft's legitimate win.

CB2K6 Round 1 Spazer
Kairi 52.1%
Kairi survives Claire before the Kingdom Hearts day vote erupts 1

Kairi and Claire traded control through sharply different voting periods before Kingdom Hearts' daytime strength turned the late match decisively toward Kairi. The writeup also records a vote-stuffing allegation involving a Claire supporter.

Cheat: The writeup says Smurf bragged about vote-stuffing for Claire and was banned during the match, while noting that whether he actually altered any votes remained unknown.

CB VI Round 1 Division 5
Alucard 27.8%
Ness 25.4%
Liquid steals first from Alucard in a controversial photo finish 2

Alucard erased Liquid Snake's large daytime lead and briefly moved ahead at the very end, only for Liquid to snatch first on the final update. Because both characters advanced anyway, the writeup says the historic photo finish carried less consequence than a one-on-one result would have.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup describes a last-minute Metal Gear rally after Alucard completed his comeback and records complaints that cheating or vote-stuffing may have influenced the razor-thin finish.

6 3789
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Jenova
Missingno 50.3%
Crono 49.7%
Missingno rallies past Crono in the contest's defining upset 2

The writeup calls this the contest's defining match: Missingno built a bandwagon-backed lead, Crono mounted multiple comebacks, and the glitch character repeatedly fought them off. The upset ended the Noble Nine's unbeaten 1v1 streak against outsiders and became the centerpiece of the contest.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup repeatedly says Missingno was sustained by organized bandwagon rallying. It also records attempted cheating from both fanbases, while explicitly concluding that those attempts did not invalidate Missingno's win.

CB IX Round 1 Division 7
Chun-Li 26.7%
Cirno 11.4%
Tifa dominates while Cirno vote stuffing is removed 1

Tifa dominated Chun-Li and Cirno, but the match is remembered mainly for fraudulent Cirno votes being removed. The controversy did not threaten Tifa's overwhelming win.

Cheat: The writeup says fraudulent votes were removed from Cirno during the match and attributes the stuffing to a Touhou supporter, while extra notes acknowledge that the identity of the stuffer remained debatable.

CB IX Round 1 Division 8
Vivi 62.2%
Vivi wins as Marisa vote stuffing disrupts the poll 1

Vivi won comfortably over Adam Jensen and Marisa, but the match was repeatedly disrupted by fraudulent votes for Marisa being removed. The writeup treats the cheating as the main story before Vivi's later breakout.

Cheat: The writeup says fraudulent Marisa votes were removed both during and after the poll, with the site administrator explicitly announcing the vote stuffing while the match was live.

CB IX Round 1 Division 8
Ganondorf 65.2%
Max Payne 16.8%
Guybrush finally succeeds despite removed fraudulent votes 1

Ganondorf won easily, while Guybrush finally earned a meaningful contest success by taking second in the Expert Challenge ordering over Max Payne. The removed fraudulent votes tainted the match without changing that placement.

Cheat: The writeup says fraudulent votes for Guybrush were removed during the match, while also stating that Guybrush still would have beaten Max Payne without them.

CB IX Round 1 Division 8
Missingno 40.6%
Tidus 40.5%
Banjo 18.9%
Missingno barely survives Tidus amid rallying and vote stuffing 2

Tidus erased a large early deficit, took the lead, and nearly completed one of the contest's biggest upsets before Missingno recovered in the final stretch. The cheating revelation immediately spoiled what had looked like a heroic Tidus near-win.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup reports a small Reddit rush for Missingno in the final hour. It also quotes SBAllen saying anti-bot measures caught vote stuffing at roughly a two-to-one ratio favoring Tidus.

What this is

Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags (SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the match.
