Link destroys Mega Man and all but claims favorite status |
✓ |

Link demolished Mega Man and effectively ended any remaining uncertainty about the contest favorite. The writeup attributes part of the rout to SFF but argues that Link's broader rise in strength was the more important story.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says there was a definite degree of SFF in Link's overwhelming win over Mega Man, though it argues Link's own rise mattered even more.

Link and Cloud advance while Samus surprisingly tops Sephiroth |

Link and Cloud advanced through a semifinal whose top order was never seriously in doubt. Samus nevertheless outperformed Sephiroth, providing the only notable wrinkle in an otherwise predictable heavyweight match.
SFF: The writeup says Link heavily suppressed Samus through their overlapping Nintendo support, even though Samus still performed surprisingly well relative to Sephiroth.

Link SFFs Mario in another one-sided semifinal |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
The rematch of the original character-contest final produced much the same hierarchy, with Link suppressing Mario and winning comfortably. The writeup notes that even widespread anti-Link sentiment did little to change the matchup.
SFF: The writeup invokes Link's 'King of SFF' reputation to explain why Mario again performed much worse against Link than people hoped.

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.
