Zelda closes the gap on Mario in a strange rematch 1

Mario still beat Zelda without being seriously threatened, but the margin collapsed compared with their prior matchup. The writeup treats the shift as evidence that Mario split more badly with the surrounding field and as setup for later surprises.

LFF: The writeup says Mega Man 2 and Tetris hurt Mario's support more than Zelda's, helping narrow the Mario-Zelda gap sharply from their previous meeting.

Tetris confirms its edge over Mega Man 2

Tetris beat Mega Man 2 comfortably and was never seriously threatened after the opening moments. Mega Man 2 nevertheless held up better than its first-round showing suggested, while the writeup declines to pin the result on SFF.

Oregon Trail fades while Mega Man 2 underwhelms

The Oregon Trail briefly looked capable of becoming the contest's next joke bandwagon, but collapsed after a few hours and left Pac-Man safely in second. Mega Man 2 won easily yet looked much weaker than its pre-contest hype suggested.

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.
