SC2K3 Round 1 North
Isaac 24.7%
Samus wins easily but misses the expected Nintendo blowout

Samus easily beat Isaac, yet the writeup considered the margin disappointing because people expected a much harsher same-company blowout. Isaac's resistance became an enduring puzzle while Samus-over-Link speculation continued anyway.

Pikachu 36.6%

Isaac 17.6%
Serge 13.9%
Pikachu routs Tidus and accelerates Pokémon's contest resurgence

Pikachu beat Tidus far more easily than years of Pokémon contest weakness had led people to expect. The writeup debates several possible explanations for Tidus's underperformance but ultimately treats the match as another major step in Pokémon's rise to legitimate contest strength.

CB VII Round 1 Division 1
Altair 43.1%
Lucario 22.2%
Isaac 20.9%
Altair dominates his debut while Lucario barely survives

Altair dominated his contest debut while Lucario barely held off Isaac for the second advancing spot. The writeup regards Lucario as one of the contest's biggest disappointments given Pokémon's strength and his prominent Smash appearance.

CB VIII Round 1 Heart
Isaac 68.8%
Isaac finally gets his long-awaited first win

Isaac overwhelmed Professor Layton in a match with virtually no competitive suspense. The important storyline was that Isaac finally earned his first contest win after seven years of appearances.

CB VIII Round 2 Heart
L-Block 60.5%
Isaac 39.5%
L-Block advances on bracket luck rather than old strength

L-Block beat Isaac in an almost motionless match, but the writeup argues that the former champion had become much weaker and was surviving mainly through favorable bracket placement. A mistaken Isaac picture was corrected but is not said to have affected the vote.

writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 4 Snake opens with a statement and fuels title talk

Snake delivered a dominant opening and immediately looked more dangerous than Link had in his own first-round match. The writeup treats the performance as serious evidence that Snake could contend for the contest if the bracket broke correctly.

7 7268
writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 4
Isaac 64.6%
Isaac cleanly enforces the fodder line

Isaac comfortably dispatched a Board 8-backed newcomer and reinforced his role as a reliable dividing line between fodder and real midcarders. The writeup treats Estelle's appearance itself as the bigger community achievement.

8 7317
writeup (md)
CB X Round 2 Division 4
Kirby 70.3%
Isaac 29.7%
Kirby SFFs Isaac in a handheld-heavy matchup 1

Kirby demolished Isaac in a matchup the writeup considers heavily distorted by shared Nintendo and handheld appeal. The blowout further strengthened Kirby's status as a division favorite.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Kirby versus Isaac an SFF match, arguing that Kirby's handheld-heavy Nintendo fanbase strongly overlaps with Golden Sun's audience.

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.
