BGE 2K9 Quarterfinal Link to the Past barely survives Mario 64 1

Final Fantasy VII dominated, while A Link to the Past survived a late Mario 64 comeback by a narrow margin. The writeup also sees the result as another sign that newer voters were gradually reshaping the site's preferences.

SFF: The writeup says Final Fantasy VII SFFed Final Fantasy VI heavily, reducing FF6 to a minor factor while the real race developed between Link to the Past and Mario 64.

BGE 2K9 Division Final 1995-1997 Mario 64 survives another Chrono Trigger afternoon collapse 1

Final Fantasy VII dominated, while Chrono Trigger built a real lead on Mario 64 before collapsing again with the afternoon vote. Mario 64's late recovery ended another promising Chrono Trigger upset attempt.

LFF: The writeup says GoldenEye clearly leeched Mario 64, giving Chrono Trigger a much better chance to steal the second advancing position.

BGE 2K9 Round 2 1995-1997 Mario 64 overturns Chrono Trigger and changes the bracket 1

Chrono Trigger built an overnight lead on Mario 64, only to collapse badly once Mario's morning vote arrived. Mario 64 turned the match into a convincing win and shattered expectations for Chrono Trigger's deeper run.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Yoshi's Island was SFFed into a very weak last-place showing, with Mario 64 providing the clearest source of the overlap.

BGE 2K9 Round 1 1995-1997 Mario 64 crushes Kirby as Symphony of the Night advances 1

Super Mario 64 dominated the poll, while Symphony of the Night comfortably beat Resident Evil for the other advancing spot. Kirby Super Star collapsed badly in Mario's presence.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Super Mario 64 SFFed Kirby Super Star heavily, using Kirby's collapse to argue that Kirby's character strength does not come primarily from his games.

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.
