Melee survives MGS2 and inspires an enduring board phrase |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Super Smash Bros. Melee beat Metal Gear Solid 2 but looked much shakier than its seed suggested. The writeup credits Metal Gear Solid 2 with being underestimated and remembers the match for inspiring the joking phrase "Ulti-Style Blowout."

Final Fantasy X and MGS2 cruise without drama |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2 advanced in a perfectly ordered match that the writeup considers almost devoid of story. Silent Hill 2 and Morrowind never threatened the top pair.

Kingdom Hearts shines while Final Fantasy X looks vulnerable |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Final Fantasy X won a crowded all-PS2 field, while Kingdom Hearts comfortably beat Metal Gear Solid 2 for second. Kingdom Hearts' strong showing and FFX's modest margin made the winner look less secure than the placement suggested.

Metal Gear Solid 2 gives no warning of what comes next |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid 2 looked solid enough against Banjo-Tooie that nothing in the first round hinted at its coming loss to Shadow of the Colossus. The writeup emphasizes how misleading the opening-round evidence turned out to be.

Shadow of the Colossus survives MGS2 in a classic |

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.

Metal Gear Solid 2 wins without looking convincing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid 2 beat Resident Evil but bled support throughout the match and continued the series' disappointing contest. The result made the coming Witcher 3 matchup look much more dangerous than expected.

MGS2 survives the Witcher rally that never happened |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid 2 narrowly beat The Witcher 3 despite widespread attempts by Witcher fans to attract outside support. The writeup stresses that the hoped-for developer rally never materialized, making the result a case study in how difficult successful rallying can be.

|

|
|
|
|
|
Resident Evil 4 beat Metal Gear Solid 2 without danger but again landed far below the strength expected of it. The result made Super Mario RPG look increasingly likely to take the division.

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.
