Samus and Ganondorf provide a quiet rest break

Nintendo overlap buries Ganondorf while Samus advances 2

Samus and Vincent advanced as expected, but Ganondorf collapsed so badly that Gordon Freeman escaped last place. The writeup treats the fanbase interaction as the defining feature of an otherwise predictable divisional final.

SFF · LFF: The writeup describes Ganondorf as heavily suppressed by Samus through their shared Nintendo support. It also says Ganondorf's presence drained Samus enough to tighten her comparison with outside contender Vincent.

Board 8 rallies Crono through his long-awaited redemption 1

The writeup treats Crono versus Vincent as the emotional centerpiece of the contest, built on years of Crono near-misses and frustration. Crono's late comeback finally reversed their previous result and completed the redemption story.

Rally: The writeup says Board 8 rallied intensely for Crono late in the match, turning the final fight with Vincent into a successful comeback for the advancing spot.

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.
