BGE 2K9 Round 1 1989-1991 Battletoads rallies but Mario World and Final Fantasy cruise 1

Super Mario World and Final Fantasy advanced without real drama, while Battletoads became notable mainly for a highly visible 4chan push. Prince of Persia produced one of the contest's weakest performances.

Rally: The writeup explicitly describes a pre-planned 4chan rally for Battletoads. It says the push inflated Battletoads' total but never came close to threatening the advancing games.

BGE 2K15 Round 1 Division III Animal Crossing surges on Undertale rally spillover 1

Super Mario World began with an enormous rout, but Animal Crossing suddenly gained ground once Undertale's outside rally flooded the simultaneous polls. The result stayed a blowout, yet the spillover showed how dramatically shared traffic could distort percentages.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale rally spillover strongly boosted Animal Crossing late in the match, producing unusual cuts against Super Mario World.

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division III Rally spillover boosts Mario World before the Undertale showdown 1

Super Mario World was already controlling Final Fantasy VIII before rally spillover made the margin substantially larger. The result fueled enormous anticipation for Mario World's coming encounter with Undertale.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale's simultaneous rally traffic heavily favored Super Mario World, inflating an already comfortable win over Final Fantasy VIII.

Undertale rallies past Super Mario World and survives controversy 1

Super Mario World built the expected early advantage, but Undertale's rally started earlier than in prior rounds and eventually overwhelmed it. The match also produced a major cheating scare that the writeup says was unsupported.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale's expanding social-media rallies steadily erased Super Mario World's lead and eventually carried Undertale comfortably ahead. Cheating accusations are explicitly rejected by the administrator.

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.
