|
|

Link remained untouchable, while Zack made a dramatic but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to steal the other advancing spot from Mario. The loss ended one of the contest's most popular bandwagon runs.

Link and Sephiroth advanced as expected, but Mario held up better against Link than many anticipated. The writeup treats Link's diminished dominance as the first meaningful encouragement for people hoping Cloud could beat him later.

Mario crushes Samus and blows up the old statistical consensus |

|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Mario demolished Samus in the contest's most heavily debated quarterfinal and invalidated the old statistical case for a Samus win. The writeup later apologizes for its original hostility, but still treats the result as a decisive SFF showcase of Mario's 2005 strength.
SFF: The writeup repeatedly describes Mario's victory as an enormous SFF beating that overwhelmed Samus despite pre-match statistical expectations favoring 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.
