Crono upsets Snake and carries his Cinderella run onward |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Mega Man handles Snake and earns his Sephiroth rematch |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man beat Snake in a steady match that produced little drama but finally sent him back to Sephiroth for a rematch of their near-upset from 2002. The writeup treats the coming Final Four as far more interesting than the match itself.

Mega Man beats Snake again as Snake's decline continues |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man beat Solid Snake in a repeat of the previous year's divisional final, with the writeup treating Snake's showing as another major flop. It also mocks the persistent tendency to underestimate Mega Man in bracket predictions.

Snake destroys Sora and reasserts himself as an elite threat |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Snake demolished Sora after entering the match somewhat underestimated. The writeup sees the result as both a statement of Snake's true strength and an example of a broader fanbase-overlap effect working against Sora.
SFF: The writeup rejects a simple PlayStation 2 explanation but argues that a broader form of SFF hurt Sora badly against Solid Snake.

|
|
|

L-Block nearly challenges Snake and becomes an elite threat |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Snake cruises as GLaDOS barely survives Kefka |
|
|
|
|
|
|

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.
