Fallout 3 delivers its first fully convincing statement |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The poll disappeared entirely for the opening hour, but the eventual match gave Fallout 3 its first clear statement against a proven contest game. The writeup treats the result as the moment serious upset talk against Fallout largely died.

Prime advances as Half-Life 2 exposes a timing problem |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metroid Prime controlled the match, while Half-Life 2's late gains suggested that a different time window might have produced a much closer result. The writeup explicitly says the heavily discussed pictures did not matter.

Brawl comes back on Melee in a divisive rivalry match |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Melee built the early lead, but Brawl's European and morning strength completed the comeback and settled the rivalry for the bracket. The writeup argues that the timing format may have mattered enough to make the result less definitive than the rivalry deserved.

Twilight Princess makes the four-way comparison look useless |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Twilight Princess overwhelmed Kingdom Hearts II far more decisively than their earlier four-way meeting had suggested. The writeup uses the result as another example of Zelda's exceptional 1v1 strength and the unreliability of four-way comparisons.

Final Fantasy X cruises through a mild Square SFF match |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
The same-series divisional final was never presented as a serious rivalry, and Final Fantasy IX was simply outclassed by Final Fantasy X. The writeup mostly uses the match to criticize how easy the division had been for FFX.
SFF: The writeup treats this as a Square SFF matchup, noting that Final Fantasy IX was suppressed by Final Fantasy X even if the effect was milder than some older Square pairings.

Portal exits with one of the contest's best runs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portal's run ended against Resident Evil 4, but the writeup still considers the showing highly respectable and much stronger than old four-way statistics would have implied. It treats Portal as one of the contest's major success stories.

Night voting ends the Shadow of the Colossus run |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid 3 ended the Shadow of the Colossus Cinderella run in a match the writeup believes was heavily shaped by being held at night. Shadow stayed close, but MGS3's overnight strength controlled the decisive portion.

Majora's Mask settles the Wind Waker debate |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Majora's Mask settled a long-running Zelda-series debate by beating Wind Waker decisively. The writeup argues the result did not require any special contest bandwagon because Majora was simply the more beloved title.

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.
