Spring 2K4 Round 1 16 Mario RPG wins a toss-up and triggers lasting board outrage

Super Mario RPG recovered from an early Street Fighter II push and won a genuine toss-up. The lasting story in the writeup is the unusually persistent board outrage afterward, which turned the loss into a long-running community joke.

BGE 2K9 Round 1 1989-1991 Sonic routs Street Fighter II in a major surprise

Sonic defeated Street Fighter II far more easily than the consensus expected, while Castlevania III briefly made the bottom of the poll interesting. The writeup reads the result as another sign that fighting games simply lacked GameFAQs strength.

BGE 2K9 Round 2 1989-1991 Mario 3 suppresses Sonic, but Sonic still advances 1

Mario 3 dominated the field, while Sonic recovered from an overnight Street Fighter II lead and used its strong day vote to secure second. The match reinforced both Mario-Sonic overlap and Street Fighter's limited strength.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Super Mario Bros. 3 SFFed Sonic, though Street Fighter II still could not take advantage enough to advance.

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.
