CB VIII Quarterfinal
Link 70.2%
Link SFFs Sonic in a crushing quarterfinal 1

Link crushed Sonic far more severely than a normal Noble Nine matchup suggested, restoring his aura of invincibility. The writeup views fanbase suppression as an important part of why the gap became so extreme.

SFF: The writeup endorses SFF as a plausible explanation for Link's unusually severe beating of Sonic, noting that Link looked invincible mainly against overlapping characters such as Luigi and Sonic.

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.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Quarterfinal Samus pushes Cloud hard before the night vote wins

Samus repeatedly fought Cloud back to even during the opening hours and came closer to the upset than their older history suggested possible. Cloud finally took control during his strongest overnight period, but the writeup regards Samus's resistance as a major statement.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Quarterfinal
Sephiroth 47.0%
Snake finally breaks Sephiroth and targets Cloud

Snake defeated Sephiroth in a matchup that had shifted from pre-contest dream upset to expected result as Sephiroth deteriorated. The writeup treats Snake's control as decisive and immediately turns attention toward whether he could beat Cloud.

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.
