SC2K3 Round 2 North
Luigi 39.8%
Squall shocks Luigi and triggers a historic board meltdown 1

Squall stunned the overwhelmingly favored Luigi and immediately turned a normal match into one of Board 8's largest explosions. The upset generated extraordinary cheating accusations and permanently changed both characters' contest reputations.

Cheat: The writeup says Squall's upset of Luigi triggered cheating accusations on a scale rivaling any match in contest history, alongside mass account suicides, trolling, and other board chaos.

Spring 2K4 Round 2 32-64 Metal Gear Solid survives Tactics amid a disputed finish 1

Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy Tactics traded tiny leads throughout an exceptionally tight match before Metal Gear Solid escaped at the end. The writeup considers the finish controversial because a large site advertisement and a suspicious late vote jump left the author unwilling to treat the result as fully credible.

Cheat: The writeup calls Metal Gear Solid's late push suspicious, questions the credibility of the final result, and says the unexplained last-minute vote jump should have been investigated, while acknowledging there was no proof of cheating.

Frog 50.0%
Frog survives Master Chief in a controversial all-time classic 2

Frog survived Master Chief in an all-time classic filled with huge momentum swings and a frantic finish. The writeup celebrates the drama while also arguing that outside Halo promotion and rampant multi-voting make the true result impossible to separate cleanly from the controversy.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup says Halo sites linked to the poll during Master Chief's comeback, creating an outside rally. It also explicitly describes blatant multi-voting on both sides, especially in the final hour.

CB2K6 Round 2 Limit Peach survives Jill in a classic marred by cheating attempts 2

Peach and Jill traded control through radically different voting periods before a frantic final push left Jill just short. The writeup calls it a classic and records both heavy rallying and attempted vote-stuffing around the finish.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup quotes CJayC describing heavy rallying on both sides and attempted vote-stuffing for both Jill and Peach. It says the blocked fraudulent votes did not alter the official result, while acknowledging lingering uncertainty over whether every improper vote was caught.

CB VI Round 2 Division 4
Link 51.2%
Bidoof 13.3%
Zelda 7.8%
Bidoof's suspected offsite push briefly terrifies Vincent 2

Link and Vincent ultimately advanced comfortably, but Bidoof briefly turned the match into chaos by challenging Vincent early and even beating Link in the opening vote. The writeup remembers the surge as one of the contest's most surreal joke-character moments.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup attributes Bidoof's extraordinary early surge to suspected offsite rallying, especially from 4chan, and also records suspicions of vote stuffing.

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.
