CB IX Round 1 Division 3
Kirby 46.4%
Terra shines while Peach drains Kirby's support 2

Kirby won, but Terra's performance was the surprise as she benefited from Peach draining Nintendo support from Kirby. The writeup treats Terra's Dissidia-era strength as increasingly legitimate.

LFF · Pic: The writeup says Peach LFFed Kirby, helping Terra look unusually strong against him. It also explicitly calls Kirby's simple spherical design a major picture advantage.

CB IX Round 1 Division 6
Meat Boy 23.1%
Game & Watch beats Lee despite Meat Boy vote drain 1

Mr. Game & Watch upset Lee Everett despite sharing part of his natural novelty audience with Meat Boy. The writeup treats the result as another example of recent Western-game popularity failing to translate into character-contest votes.

LFF: The writeup says Meat Boy's similar oddball appeal stole support from Game & Watch, and argues that Game & Watch would have beaten Lee much more decisively without him.

CB IX Round 1 Division 6
Pac-Man 38.8%
Steve 19.4%
Nathan Drake survives Pac-Man with help from Steve's vote drain 1

Nathan Drake survived a long, slow fight with Pac-Man, while Steve's presence is blamed for helping keep Pac-Man from completing the upset. The result stayed close enough to preserve Pac-Man's reputation as a dangerous wildcard.

LFF: The writeup says Steve stole votes from Pac-Man through similar broad casual appeal and argues that Pac-Man likely wins the matchup without Steve in the poll.

CB IX Round 1 Division 7
Bomberman 23.3%
Bomberman vote drain helps Ezio beat Tails 1

Ezio beat Tails and Bomberman after a short early challenge, with the writeup blaming some of Tails's weakness on the similar third entrant. The result also undercut attempts to revive Tails through old extrapolated statistics.

LFF: The writeup says Tails and Bomberman had overlapping appeal and that their shared support helped Ezio pull away after Tails briefly led.

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.
