Mario 40.5%
Zelda 24.6%
Zelda resists Mario and ends Knuckles's opening-round streak

Mario won as expected, but Zelda resisted the feared fanbase suppression and comfortably held the second advancing spot over Knuckles. The writeup treats the result as another blow to Sonic Team's standing and a strong performance for Zelda.

Mario survives Mega Man X as Mudkip's joke run fades 1

Mega Man X seriously challenged Mario for first before Mario's morning surge reversed the race. Zelda narrowly escaped last place but was eliminated, while Mudkip's inability to reproduce a joke run made the match a turning point for bandwagon expectations.

SFF: The writeup characterizes the all-Nintendo field as a heavily leeched matchup and describes Zelda's elimination as another result shaped by overlapping support.

Mario 32.7%
Luigi 15.9%
Mario suppresses Luigi while Mega Man X advances 1

Mario and Mega Man X advanced after an early fight that briefly made another Mario upset look possible. Luigi's collapse under Mario's presence removed the feared family interference and left Liquid out as well.

SFF: The writeup says Mario directly SFFed Luigi, leaving his brother far weaker than his standalone strength and clearing the way for Mega Man X to advance.

Zack Fair 20.8%
Mario survives ZackFAQs under Link's crushing shadow 1

Link remained untouchable, while Zack made a dramatic but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to steal the other advancing spot from Mario. The loss ended one of the contest's most popular bandwagon runs.

SFF: The writeup says Link SFFed both Mario and Mega Man X, with Mega Man X falling to a distant position after initially challenging Mario.

CB VII Semifinal
Link 38.4%
Crono 25.3%

Nintendo vote drain carries Crono past Mario into the final 1

Link took the expected first position, while Crono finally reached a true contest final by reversing his old rivalry with Mario. The writeup frames it as the payoff to Crono's long redemption arc.

LFF: The writeup says Link and Samus drained Nintendo support from Mario, allowing outside entrant Crono to beat Mario comfortably for the other final berth.

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.
