Link crushes CATS and opens the Link-Cloud comparison |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Link obliterated joke entrant CATS after an early poll glitch obscured the opening votes. The writeup's main interest is that CATS gave Link and Cloud a common opponent, immediately fueling comparisons between the two championship favorites.

Link obliterates Ganondorf in a historic SFF mismatch |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Link annihilated Ganondorf so thoroughly that the writeup treats the result as both a historic SFF extreme and a championship statement. Ganondorf's standalone strength effectively vanished against the flagship character of his own series.
SFF: The writeup calls Link's destruction of fellow Zelda character Ganondorf the largest SFF beating yet seen, arguing that Ganondorf's normal strength was almost completely suppressed by Link.

Link overwhelms Yoshi in harsher-than-expected SFF |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Link destroyed Yoshi in a predictable same-company matchup, but the degree of suppression surprised even people expecting SFF. The writeup treats the result as another intimidating sign of Link's championship strength.
SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Link versus Yoshi a straight SFF match and says the fanbase effect was even harsher than most expected, heavily suppressing Yoshi.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Link destroys Mega Man and all but claims favorite status |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Link demolished Mega Man and effectively ended any remaining uncertainty about the contest favorite. The writeup attributes part of the rout to SFF but argues that Link's broader rise in strength was the more important story.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says there was a definite degree of SFF in Link's overwhelming win over Mega Man, though it argues Link's own rise mattered even more.

Link avenges Cloud loss and wins the championship |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Link avenged his previous loss to Cloud and confirmed the strength he had shown throughout the contest. Cloud briefly threatened a comeback, but Link's daytime surge settled the championship without the picture excuses that had shadowed their earlier meeting.

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.
