Link beats Mario to win the first contest |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Link comfortably defeated Mario in a final the writeup considers anticlimactic. The result established Link as GameFAQs's strongest Nintendo character and closed a first contest successful enough to guarantee more tournaments.

|
|
|

L-Block's Internet rally dethrones Link in the final |
|
|
✓ |
|
|
1 |
|
L-Block completed its improbable run by beating Link in a final dominated by an enormous Internet bandwagon. The writeup remembers the result as the ultimate joke-character triumph and the defining match of the contest.
Rally: The writeup explicitly describes the final as driven by massive rallying and broad Internet support for L-Block, which overwhelmed Link's attempted comeback.

|
Link completed his revenge tour and reclaimed the championship, but Snake supplied the final surprise by finishing ahead of Cloud. The writeup treats Snake's run as the culmination of years of gradual growth and one of the contest's defining stories.

Link beats Cloud again as bracket fatigue peaks |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Link defeated Cloud yet again, but Cloud recovered from a poor opening to make the final much more respectable than expected. The writeup's larger complaint is that Link's dominance had become so repetitive that he no longer belonged in ordinary brackets.

Link SFFs Zelda but cannot erase her breakout |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Link erased Zelda's brief opening lead and won the Legends Bracket comfortably. The writeup treats Zelda's relatively strong same-series showing as one more sign that her 2018 boost was real.
SFF: The writeup frames Link as the site's strongest SFF character and treats Zelda's ability to retain substantial support in a direct same-series match as unusually impressive resistance.

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.
