CB VIII Semifinal
Link 64.6%
Mario 35.4%
Link SFFs Mario in another one-sided semifinal 1

The rematch of the original character-contest final produced much the same hierarchy, with Link suppressing Mario and winning comfortably. The writeup notes that even widespread anti-Link sentiment did little to change the matchup.

SFF: The writeup invokes Link's 'King of SFF' reputation to explain why Mario again performed much worse against Link than people hoped.

CB VIII Quarterfinal
Mario 53.6%
Charizard 46.4%
Charizard loses to Mario but completes Pokémon's breakout

Charizard's bandwagon could not seriously threaten Mario, but the Pokémon star still performed well enough to complete a remarkable contest run. The writeup treats the loss as further proof that Pokémon had become one of the site's strongest franchises.

CB VIII Division Final Mushroom
Mario 58.4%
Mega Man 41.6%
Mario stops Mega Man's comeback to elite form

Mega Man's excellent run made the divisional final look more interesting than it had pre-contest, but Mario still won as expected. The writeup treats the result as another example of Mario resisting would-be upsets regardless of surrounding form.

CB VIII Round 3 Mushroom
Mario 74.1%
Ike 25.9%
Mario buries Ike with total Nintendo SFF 1

Mario crushed Ike in a result the writeup considered inevitable once they met. The scale of the Nintendo suppression made the matchup effectively noncompetitive.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Mario's win over fellow Nintendo entrant Ike a total SFF beating.

CB VIII Round 2 Mushroom
Mario 63.2%
Big Boss 36.8%
Another Mario-Big Boss rematch exposes four-way volatility

Mario and Big Boss produced yet another rematch, and the writeup uses their history mainly to illustrate how unstable four-way extrapolations can be. The match itself adds little new beyond that comparison.

6 3746
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Mushroom
Mario 81.0%
Mario buries Falco with overwhelming Nintendo SFF 1

Mario overwhelmed Falco and delivered one of the rare extreme blowouts of the contest. The writeup treats the result as a straightforward display of Mario's fanbase dominance.

SFF: The writeup says Mario dropped an SFF nuke on fellow Nintendo entrant Falco, producing one of the contest's largest blowouts.

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.
