BGE 2K15 Quarterfinal Melee rallies past Final Fantasy VII in a major reversal 1

Final Fantasy VII briefly led, but Melee's outside support quickly took control and turned the quarterfinal into a comfortable upset. The result reversed their old hierarchy and ended Final Fantasy's main title hopes.

Rally: The writeup says Melee's community rally engine took over after Final Fantasy VII's brief early lead and then drove the rest of the match decisively toward Melee.

Undertale 51.3%
Undertale rallies through repeated Mario 64 resistance 1

Mario 64 repeatedly fought Undertale back into a close match, but every meaningful threat triggered another surge of outside Undertale support. Undertale eventually pulled clear and continued toward the semifinal.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale's rally erased Mario 64's early lead within hours and repeatedly answered Mario whenever he briefly retook control. Simultaneous Melee rallying may also have helped Mario somewhat.

BGE 2K15 Quarterfinal Ocarina beats Link to the Past without the expected SFF

Ocarina of Time beat A Link to the Past, but failed to produce the devastating same-series suppression many expected from their old four-way comparison. Both analyses conclude that little or no meaningful SFF was visible in the current match.

BGE 2K15 Quarterfinal Super Mario RPG completes its miracle semifinal run

Super Mario RPG ended Metal Gear Solid 3's run and completed an improbable trip to the semifinals. The writeup treats the victory as the culmination of a huge nostalgia-driven bandwagon rather than a picture-driven result.

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.
