Bowser 53.9%
Kirby 46.1%
Bowser upsets Kirby and punishes the consensus

Bowser upset the heavily favored Kirby and repeated his old head-to-head superiority despite most mid-contest predictions flipping toward Kirby. The writeup treats Bowser's broader Mario appeal and recent relevance as more durable than Kirby's apparent momentum.

CB X Round 3 Division 4
Kirby 68.3%
Kirby crushes Phoenix and becomes the new favorite

Kirby demolished Phoenix and erased the significance of Phoenix's narrow rules-assisted win over Ike. The blowout made Kirby the popular favorite over Bowser despite older evidence favoring Bowser.

Kirby 70.3%
Isaac 29.7%
Kirby SFFs Isaac in a handheld-heavy matchup 1

Kirby demolished Isaac in a matchup the writeup considers heavily distorted by shared Nintendo and handheld appeal. The blowout further strengthened Kirby's status as a division favorite.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Kirby versus Isaac an SFF match, arguing that Kirby's handheld-heavy Nintendo fanbase strongly overlaps with Golden Sun's audience.

CB X Round 1 Division 4
Kirby 74.5%
Guile 25.5%
Kirby adds another blowout to Nintendo's surge

Kirby delivered another huge Nintendo blowout while Guile never became remotely competitive. The writeup treats the result as part of the contest-wide pattern of Smash and Nintendo characters outperforming expectations.

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.
