SC2K5 Round 1 20XX
Mega Man 76.0%
Conker 24.0%
Mega Man crushes Conker but gives Sonic supporters hope

Mega Man crushed Conker but slipped below the performance the writeup wanted from him, giving new life to Sonic supporters. The result was treated mainly as an imperfect preview of their eventual divisional clash.

SC2K5 Round 2 20XX
Mega Man 64.6%
Leon overperforms as Mega Man advances without much drama

Mega Man won comfortably, but Leon performed much better than older Resident Evil comparisons suggested. The writeup treats Leon's showing as evidence that previous statistics had badly understated the series.

3 2121
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Division Final 20XX
Mega Man 68.1%
Yoshi 31.9%
Mega Man SFFs Yoshi and enters the Sonic match favored 1

Mega Man easily dispatched Yoshi and ended the divisional round. The writeup attributes Yoshi's underperformance partly to SFF and uses that result to swing the coming Sonic-Mega Man debate toward Mega Man.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Mega Man likely SFFed Yoshi because voters associate Mega Man strongly with Nintendo-era games.

4 2125
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Quarterfinal
Mega Man 50.4%
Mega Man survives Sonic after two squandered comeback chances

Sonic and Mega Man traded control in one of the contest's defining close matches, with Sonic twice appearing ready to take over before losing momentum. The writeup ultimately frames Mega Man's narrow win as another painful Sonic choke in a rivalry between nearly equal icons.

5 2127
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Semifinal
Crono 51.4%
Mega Man 48.6%
Crono edges Mega Man but fails to ease doubts about Mario

Crono beat Mega Man in a close-looking semifinal without ever facing a sustained comeback threat. The writeup argues that the narrow margin did little to suggest Crono could stop the much stronger-looking Mario in the final.

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.
