Round 1 |

|
Samus handles Nidoran without settling any strength debates |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus opened the contest with an easy win over joke entrant Nidoran F, whose nomination had been heavily rallied before the bracket began. The writeup rejects the idea that Samus's less-than-absurd dominance revealed anything meaningful about her strength.

|
Samus crushes Ada while Resident Evil momentum stalls |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus disposed of Ada in another expected win, but the writeup considers Ada's performance disappointing after Resident Evil's recent momentum. It mentions possible overlap as one explanation but explicitly leaves the cause unresolved.

Samus cruises through Rikku with no hint of trouble ahead |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus finished an entirely predictable run through her division by beating Rikku without danger. The writeup emphasizes how little the match hinted at the severe trouble Samus would encounter immediately afterward.

Samus survives Tifa amid picture theories and rejected cheating votes |
|

|
Tifa pushed Samus to the brink and briefly took control before Samus's daytime recovery secured the win. The writeup frames it as Samus's worst performance, with picture theories and rejected fraudulent votes becoming central parts of the controversy.
Cheat · Pic: The writeup treats Samus's Zero Suit picture as a plausible contributor to her severe underperformance, while rejecting it as a complete explanation. It also cites CJayC's report of large numbers of rejected cheating votes favoring Tifa.

Samus beats Zelda despite a likely reverse-SFF drag |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Samus beat Zelda in a steady semifinal that never became as dramatic as the preceding quarterfinals. The writeup nevertheless sees Zelda's unusually strong showing as evidence that shared Nintendo support suppressed Samus to some degree.
SFF: The writeup says Zelda probably reverse-SFFed Samus substantially, though not nearly enough to threaten Samus's victory.

Samus beats Snake for the title after a competitive start |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake kept the championship close early, but Samus broke away once the morning vote arrived and finished the contest on top. The writeup still treats Snake as the spiritual star of the tournament, with his extraordinary run continuing into the Battle Royale.

Samus falls first as Nintendo SFF shapes the Battle Royale |
✓ |

|

|

|
The first Battle Royale largely followed expectations at the top, while Samus became the first elimination after being squeezed by the other Nintendo heavyweights. Snake finishing ahead of Mario was the main unexpected development and set up the next day's drama.
SFF: The writeup says Link and Mario SFFed Samus heavily enough to drive her into last place and eliminate her.

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.
