Zelda crushed Metroid in the expected division final and produced another extreme Nintendo SFF result. The writeup treats the match as the latest entry in a long pattern of Samus and Metroid collapsing against stronger Nintendo opposition.

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.
