writeup (md)
SC2K5 Round 1 Gear Snake crushes Manny after Board 8 finally gets him in

Snake predictably overwhelmed Manny, but the writeup treats Manny's appearance itself as a victory after a long Board 8 nomination campaign. Much of the discussion pushes back against claims that Snake's huge win was somehow disappointing.

SC2K5 Round 2 Gear
Zelda 45.6%
Snake crushes the Zelda bandwagon in another Gauntlet dud

Snake quickly dismantled a Zelda upset bandwagon that had grown from mismatched old statistics and concern over his ugly picture. The writeup treats the match as another example of Board 8 talking itself into a close contest that never materialized.

SC2K5 Division Final Gear
Sora 34.7%
Snake destroys Sora and reasserts himself as an elite threat 1

Snake demolished Sora after entering the match somewhat underestimated. The writeup sees the result as both a statement of Snake's true strength and an example of a broader fanbase-overlap effect working against Sora.

SFF: The writeup rejects a simple PlayStation 2 explanation but argues that a broader form of SFF hurt Sora badly against Solid Snake.

4 2123
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Quarterfinal
Bowser 49.4%
Snake survives Bowser's comeback despite another poor match picture 1

Snake built a large lead before Bowser mounted a long afternoon comeback that fell just short. The writeup considers the close win a major validation for Snake and argues that his poor match picture made the result look closer than it otherwise would have.

Pic: The writeup argues that Snake's hard-to-recognize sprite hurt him while Bowser had a clear, recognizable picture, and says Snake likely wins by more with a fairer image.

5 2126
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Semifinal
Mario 57.2%
Mario handles Snake and keeps rolling toward the championship

Mario controlled Snake throughout the semifinal, although Snake earned the moral victory his fans wanted by stealing a handful of updates. The writeup sees the overall margin as further proof that Mario had risen sharply and was the clear tournament favorite.

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.
