CB X Round 3 Division 7
Luigi 69.6%
Luigi SFFs Tails and ends his surprise run 1

Luigi demolished Tails in the biggest blowout of the round and ended Tails's surprise run. The writeup treats the result as another example of the Mario side dominating Sonic-family characters under overlapping fanbases.

SFF: Tsunami explicitly calls Luigi versus Tails an SFF matchup and argues that Mario-family strength suppresses the Sonic-side character in this cross-franchise Nintendo-adjacent rivalry.

CB X Round 2 Division 7 Tails upsets Master Chief and reaches Round Three

Tails upset Master Chief and controlled the match from early on, turning a fan-favorite gamble into one of the writeup's most satisfying picks. The result also continued Master Chief's long contest decline.

CB X Round 1 Division 7 Tails upsets Nathan Drake and punishes the consensus

Tails upset Nathan Drake after most casual and expert predictions had favored the Uncharted protagonist. The writeup celebrates the result as both a fan-favorite victory and another failure of recent Western characters to translate into contest strength.

CB IX Round 1 Division 7
Bomberman 23.3%
Bomberman vote drain helps Ezio beat Tails 1

Ezio beat Tails and Bomberman after a short early challenge, with the writeup blaming some of Tails's weakness on the similar third entrant. The result also undercut attempts to revive Tails through old extrapolated statistics.

LFF: The writeup says Tails and Bomberman had overlapping appeal and that their shared support helped Ezio pull away after Tails briefly led.

CB VIII Round 1 Heart
Kratos 61.0%
Kratos beats Tails but loses his favorite status

Kratos defeated Tails but looked badly underwhelming for a highly seeded character, especially because his usual daytime strength never appeared. The showing made Charizard look much more dangerous for the next round.

CB VII Round 1 Division 5
Tidus 31.7%
The Cube advances while Donkey Kong disappoints again

Weighted Companion Cube turned a heavily debated Tidus-Donkey Kong match into another joke-character success, while Tidus narrowly secured the other advancing position. Donkey Kong's failure added another chapter to his contest reputation for disappointing.

CB VI Round 1 Division 4
Zelda 29.9%
The Boss 15.8%
Vincent crushes Zelda while a close third-place fight goes unnoticed

Vincent quickly turned the anticipated contest with Zelda into a comfortable first-place finish, while Zelda safely advanced with him. The writeup notes that the genuinely close Tails-The Boss fight for third mattered little because neither advancing spot was threatened.

SC2K4 Round 2 Chaos
Dante 57.4%
Dante dispatches Tails in a routine second-round win

Dante eliminated Tails in a match the writeup considered completely predictable and largely uninteresting. Its only real distinction was finally carrying Dante beyond the second round.

SC2K4 Round 1 Chaos Tails upsets Viewtiful Joe and finally earns a win

Tails upset heavily favored Viewtiful Joe and finally earned his first contest win. The writeup says earlier results had begun to expose Tails as underestimated, but the reversal still destroyed many expectations and became a notable prediction upset.

SC2K3 Round 1 East
Auron 64.5%
Auron debuts by comfortably dispatching a favored Tails

Auron comfortably beat Tails despite substantial board sentiment that favored the Sonic character. The writeup remembers the match as Auron's strong contest debut and an early indication that Tidus's unpopularity did not extend to him.

SC2K2 Round 1 North
Alucard 54.3%
Alucard surprises Tails and begins building a contest reputation

Alucard's victory surprised most of Board 8 even though the broader bracket predictions were nearly split. Tails cut into the percentage at times, but the writeup says Alucard controlled the match throughout and turned an apparent fluke into the start of a real contest reputation.

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.
