2001 wins a fair fight against fading 1995 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1995 briefly made its matchup with 2001 look like a classic before 2001 began pulling away and never looked back. The writeup explicitly calls it a fair fight and rejects picture excuses for the result.

1997 keeps looking like a finalist |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1997 crushed 1996 and appeared almost as dominant as 1998, making a 1997-versus-1998 final feel inevitable. The writeup stresses how impressive such a blowout looked this deep in the bracket.

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 SFFs 2003 into the ground |

1998 produced another enormous late-round blowout and made 2003 look completely outclassed. The writeup treats the result as the year-contest equivalent of a dominant same-fanbase Zelda matchup.
SFF: The writeup explicitly likens 1998's rout of 2003 to a Zelda SFF beating, with Ocarina of Time effectively suppressing a Wind Waker-centered year.

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.
