1995 advances with a major warning sign |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1995 advanced but looked far too weak for the overall top seed, stalling for hours against 1987 before finally separating. The writeup treats this as the point where its anticipated showdown with 2001 stopped looking competitive.

2001 keeps Blowout City rolling |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001 crushed a 2008 lineup the writeup considered legitimately solid, reinforcing how extreme the contest's round-to-round blowouts had become. The result also made the coming 2001-versus-1995 matchup look heavily tilted toward 2001.

1997 looks like a title contender against 2007 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1997's rout looked like a championship-quality performance at the time and seemed to set up a serious challenge to 1998. In hindsight, the writeup treats the result more as evidence that 2007 was unusually weak.

Picture selection costs 2000 a fair fight |
|
|
|
|
✓ |

|
The match stayed close overnight before 1996 pulled away once the morning vote arrived. The writeup considers the final result tainted by a picture policy that failed to represent 2000's strongest possible lineup.
Pic: The writeup says 2000 was effectively denied a fair chance because Pokémon GSC was omitted from its match picture while 1996 received an unusually strong set of representative games. It explicitly argues that the picture imbalance likely decided the match.

1991 survives but loses its upset case |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1991's weak performance against 2002 immediately damaged the author's upset hopes for its next match. The writeup argues that the contest's year format had made normal transitive strength comparisons almost useless.

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.

1998 demolishes 1992 and seizes the championship |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998 demolished a year centered on A Link to the Past and produced what the writeup calls the best performance of the round. The result is treated as conclusive evidence that only a major rally could stop 1998 from winning the contest.

2003 advances directly into the 1998 buzzsaw |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003 handled a matchup some had worried about and advanced without serious danger. The writeup mostly uses the result to emphasize how hopeless 2003 looked against 1998 in the next round.

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.
