Metal Gear Solid finally stops Shadow of the Colossus |

|
Metal Gear Solid survived the feared rematch with Shadow of the Colossus and never allowed another Cinderella upset to develop. The writeup treats the result as a welcome piece of redemption for an otherwise poor Metal Gear contest.

Shadow wins while rally spillover slightly helps Red Dead |

Shadow of the Colossus won comfortably and revived memories of its earlier Metal Gear upset run. Red Dead Redemption's respectable showing was helped slightly by rally spillover, but the next-round Shadow-versus-Metal-Gear debate remained intact.
Rally: The writeup says Red Dead Redemption received a small boost from the simultaneous StarCraft and Mass Effect 2 rallies, slightly improving its showing without threatening Shadow of the Colossus.

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.

Shadow of the Colossus confirms its Cinderella run |

|
|

|
|
|
Shadow of the Colossus followed its MGS2 upset by beating Metal Gear Solid 4 and turning a possible fluke into the contest's defining Cinderella run. A late MGS4 rally cut into the lead but is explicitly dismissed as meaningless.

Shadow of the Colossus survived an all-day war of attrition against Metal Gear Solid 2 and won by the narrowest margin in the contest. The writeup treats the upset as the launch of the contest's Cinderella run and one of its best matches.
Pic · Rally: The writeup calls Shadow of the Colossus's image the biggest picture disadvantage of the contest and says it would have won more easily under fairer pictures. It also explicitly describes a late Shadow of the Colossus counter-rally after MGS2 retook the lead.

Shadow of the Colossus wins without revealing its future upset |

|
|
|
Shadow of the Colossus handled The Sims comfortably despite surprisingly weak prediction support. The writeup stresses that the result still offered almost no reason to expect the major upset waiting in the next round.

Resident Evil 4 narrowly holds off Kingdom Hearts II |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Resident Evil 4 built an overnight lead and then endured a long Kingdom Hearts II day-vote challenge without ever fully losing control. The narrow win advanced RE4 but also badly weakened its case as a potential finalist.

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.
