GOTD Semifinal Majora's Mask rallies through an all-time semifinal classic 1

Final Fantasy X controlled much of the first half, Majora's Mask mounted a huge daytime comeback, and FFX nearly answered again late. The writeup calls it the best match of the contest and a throwback to the site's classic close-match era.

Rally: The writeup says Majora's Mask was rallied more heavily and that its fans pushed harder during the decisive stages of the close semifinal.

GOTD Quarterfinal Final Fantasy X destroys the Resident Evil 4 upset hype

Final Fantasy X erased the pre-match Resident Evil 4 upset hype almost immediately and produced the writeup's strongest championship-looking performance of its run. RE4 is treated as a major disappointment for failing to make the match competitive.

GOTD Division Final South Final Fantasy X cruises through a mild Square SFF match 1

The same-series divisional final was never presented as a serious rivalry, and Final Fantasy IX was simply outclassed by Final Fantasy X. The writeup mostly uses the match to criticize how easy the division had been for FFX.

SFF: The writeup treats this as a Square SFF matchup, noting that Final Fantasy IX was suppressed by Final Fantasy X even if the effect was milder than some older Square pairings.

GOTD Division Semifinal South Final Fantasy X survives another ugly performance

Final Fantasy X beat Golden Sun but looked embarrassingly weak early in a matchup where the writeup expected major same-genre suppression. Its overnight recovery helped, yet the result reinforced the view that FFX had declined substantially since 2004.

GOTD Round 2 South Final Fantasy X finally delivers a clean blowout

Final Fantasy X delivered one of its few clean performances of the contest by overwhelming Borderlands and holding steady throughout the match. The writeup still regards the result as an exception rather than proof that FFX had fully returned to old form.

GOTD Round 1 South Final Fantasy X wins but looks vulnerable

Final Fantasy X recovered from a weak opening but still looked less imposing than a potential contest champion was expected to look. The writeup treats the early struggle as the first clear sign that FFX was vulnerable.

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.
