Link 53.3%
Zack Fair 23.9%
Wario 10.6%
ZackFAQs takes off behind another dominant Link win 1

Link dominated, but the match is remembered as the real beginning of ZackFAQs. Zack's convincing advancement transformed him from a promising newcomer into one of the contest's central bandwagon stories.

SFF: The writeup says Link SFFed Wario into irrelevance, leaving the meaningful race to Zack and Zidane.

CB VIII Round 2 Mushroom
Ike 51.5%
Daytime format swings a close match toward Ike

Ike beat Zidane in a close matchup the writeup says was strongly shaped by the daytime schedule. It argues that a night match would likely have favored Zidane instead.

writeup (md)
CB IX Round 2 Division 5
Squirtle 44.1%
Dante 31.5%
Squirtle destroys Dante and the DmC hype

Squirtle crushed Dante and made the pre-match Dante support look wildly misplaced, while Zidane never seriously threatened either contender. The writeup frames Dante's defeat as the inevitable result of backlash against the DmC reboot.

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.
