1994 punishes casual faith in 2004 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The writeup calls this the first match where casual brackets were badly burned, with 2004 inflated by World of Warcraft and other mainstream names. It treats 1994 as vastly deeper and more aligned with GameFAQs tastes.

1994 makes the 1991 debate look one-sided |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1994 comfortably beat 2011 and looked substantially stronger than 1991 had in the neighboring matchup. The writeup treats the result as confirmation that their next-round debate was already effectively settled.

Missing console pictures taint 1994's win over 1991 |
|
|

|
1991 won the opening board vote and then was steadily run over by 1994. The writeup's main story is anger that system releases were omitted from a contest supposedly about entire gaming years.
Pic: The writeup argues that excluding console launches from every match picture unfairly hurt 1991 in particular because the Super Nintendo was one of its strongest assets. It says 1994 may still have won, but the picture policy made the matchup fundamentally unfair.

1998 cruises through a predictable semifinal |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998 comfortably eliminated 1994 in a semifinal that was notable mainly for how predictable the contest had become. The writeup uses the result to compare late-round blowout records rather than to describe any real competitive drama.

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.
