SC2K4 Round 1 20XX
Mega Man 83.0%
Mega Man wins while Earthworm Jim earns affectionate praise

Mega Man comfortably defeated Earthworm Jim, though the writeup spends much of its time celebrating Jim as a welcome contest newcomer and fan favorite. It ultimately judges Mega Man's showing impressive rather than weak.

SC2K4 Round 2 20XX
Mega Man 64.8%
Tidus 35.2%
Mega Man crushes Tidus and vindicates Heroic Mario

Mega Man demolished Tidus far more decisively than most of Board 8 expected, vindicating Heroic Mario's unusually confident prediction. The writeup treats Tidus's collapse as one of the contest's hardest results to explain.

SC2K4 Round 3 20XX
Mega Man 56.0%
Zero 44.0%
Mega Man beats Zero as the expected SFF barely appears

Mega Man beat Zero as expected, but Zero resisted far better than a typical same-family opponent. The writeup argues that their distinct series fanbases may explain why the anticipated SFF barely appeared and why Mega Man looked vulnerable afterward.

writeup (md)
SC2K4 Division Final 20XX
Mega Man 57.2%
Mega Man beats Snake again as Snake's decline continues

Mega Man beat Solid Snake in a repeat of the previous year's divisional final, with the writeup treating Snake's showing as another major flop. It also mocks the persistent tendency to underestimate Mega Man in bracket predictions.

5 1778
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Semifinal
Link 67.6%
Mega Man 32.4%
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.

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.
