Big Boss barely survives a resurgent Crash |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Big Boss barely beat Crash in a matchup that was expected to be routine, turning a presumed blowout into another warning about Metal Gear's collapse. The writeup gives Crash substantial credit for his continuing nostalgia-driven rebound.

Crash turns Cecil Harvey Never Wins into canon |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crash decisively beat Cecil in another matchup the Final Fantasy IV protagonist had been widely expected to win. The writeup treats the result as both a Crash nostalgia boost and the formal birth of the Cecil Harvey Never Wins meme.

|
Crash nearly steals second and revives his reputation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kirby won comfortably while Crash nearly completed a morning comeback on Elizabeth for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. The writeup celebrates the loss as Crash's best contest showing in years and a major warning about BioShock Infinite's strength.

|
Crash upsets Wheatley and earns a rare contest moment |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crash finally produced another memorable contest win by upsetting Wheatley after years of mostly losing early. Tommy Vercetti's weak last-place showing is treated as further proof that Grand Theft Auto characters had collapsed.

Ryu Hayabusa wins but badly disappoints against Crash |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ryu Hayabusa beat Crash but looked far weaker than expected and even lost the morning vote. The result initially killed much of the hype for a second-round upset over Master Chief.

Round 1 |
Division 3 |
|
Samus and Nightmare advance through an uneventful opener |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus and Nightmare advanced through one of the round's least eventful matches. The writeup finds little to learn beyond Samus taking care of business and the weaker entrants remaining firmly in fodder territory.

Round 1 |
Division 3 |
|
Phoenix survives Bomberman's long comeback while Magus disappoints |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Magus took first but looked weak enough to damage any hopes of a deep run, while Phoenix Wright turned the fight for second into the real match. Bomberman mounted a long afternoon comeback, only for the heavily favored Board 8 character to hold on at the end.

|
Master Chief crushes Crash and raises his contest stock |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Master Chief crushed Crash Bandicoot and looked far more formidable than the site's usual anti-Xbox reputation suggested. The writeup focuses equally on Master Chief's rising stock and Crash's dramatic fall from former high seed to expendable fodder.

KOS-MOS upsets Crash as his contest relevance fades |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KOS-MOS decisively beat the favored Crash, confirming that his old platforming fame no longer guaranteed contest support. The writeup says the blowout made KOS-MOS look stronger than she really was while symbolizing Crash's decline.

|
Sephiroth crushes Crash and completes the Mega Man setup |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth easily eliminated the much higher-seeded Crash and left no doubt that their seeds had badly misstated their relative strength. The writeup treats the match mainly as the final setup for the anticipated Mega Man showdown.

|
Crash wins but confirms doubts about his high seed |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crash won comfortably, but the writeup saw his performance against Ulala as further evidence that his high seed reflected name recognition more than actual contest strength. Sephiroth already looked far beyond his reach.

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.
