|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man produced an unprecedented blowout that immediately elevated him from a respected entrant to one of the contest's major threats. Attention quickly shifted to whether he could reproduce that dominance against Sephiroth.

Mega Man crushes Resetti yet somehow disappoints expectations |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man annihilated Mr. Resetti, yet the writeup remembers the performance as a strange disappointment because expectations after 2002 were even more extreme. The match closed a first round full of upsets and inflated newcomer hype.

Mega Man wins while Earthworm Jim earns affectionate praise |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man comfortably defeated Earthworm Jim, though the writeup spends much of its time celebrating Jim as a welcome contest newcomer and fan favorite. It ultimately judges Mega Man's showing impressive rather than weak.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man crushed Conker but slipped below the performance the writeup wanted from him, giving new life to Sonic supporters. The result was treated mainly as an imperfect preview of their eventual divisional clash.

Mega Man beats Axel while showing an early warning sign |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man beat Axel, but his strong early showing steadily deteriorated once the morning and daytime votes arrived. The writeup treats the decline as an overlooked warning of the much larger collapse that would become obvious later.

KOS-MOS advances as Blizzard LFF rewrites four-way expectations |
|
✓ |
|
|
|
1 |
|
Mega Man took the expected first place, but the real story was KOS-MOS advancing while Diablo and Arthas split overlapping support. The writeup treats the result as the match that taught Board 8 how LFF worked in four-way polls.
LFF: The writeup says Diablo and Arthas weakened each other by sharing the same Blizzard fanbase, allowing KOS-MOS to advance despite neither Blizzard entrant being individually helpless.

Mega Man and Nero cruise through a predictable fourpack |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man and Nero advanced in a match the writeup considered almost completely predetermined. The only real takeaway was how little the Brawl-backed Nintendo fodder could do.

Mega Man continues a strong series-wide rebound |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Mega Man handled Cid comfortably and continued a broader rebound for the Mega Man cast. The writeup uses the result to argue that Mega Man had returned close to his old contest strength.

|

|
Mega Man weathered Magikarp's pre-planned push and then dominated, while Geno was crushed into last. The result became the first major test of Mega Man against the contest's Pokémon rally threat.
Rally: The writeup says Magikarp entered the match with a pre-planned rally and briefly stayed even with Mega Man before the favorite pulled away.

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.
