Snake opens with a statement and fuels title talk |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake delivered a dominant opening and immediately looked more dangerous than Link had in his own first-round match. The writeup treats the performance as serious evidence that Snake could contend for the contest if the bracket broke correctly.

|
Snake wins but again looks strange against Nintendo |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake won comfortably but again looked oddly weak against a Nintendo-associated opponent. The writeup uses the match to argue that some of Snake's newer support disappears against Nintendo characters.

|
Snake dominates another straightforward first-round match |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake and Vivi advanced exactly as the writeup expected, with little genuine suspense. Snake's strong showing was more notable than the order of finish and fed expectations for a major run.

Snake cruises while Nightmare advances and Vyse badly disappoints |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake took first comfortably and Nightmare secured second without much difficulty, while the hoped-for strength of Vyse's cult fanbase failed to materialize. The writeup treats Vyse as another aging RPG character whose contest relevance had faded badly.

Snake crushes Soma and hints that this run may differ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake overwhelmed Soma in a stronger opening performance than his familiar early-round fodder beatings. The writeup still notes his history of fading later, but treats the result as the first hint that this contest might be different.

Snake crushes Manny after Board 8 finally gets him in |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake predictably overwhelmed Manny, but the writeup treats Manny's appearance itself as a victory after a long Board 8 nomination campaign. Much of the discussion pushes back against claims that Snake's huge win was somehow disappointing.

Snake destroys Tanner and creates a lasting fodder benchmark |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solid Snake annihilated Tanner in a blowout the writeup treats as evidence of Tanner's exceptional weakness rather than Snake's true ceiling. The mismatch became a lasting Board 8 reference point for hopeless new entrants and entertainingly lopsided polls.

Snake routs Raiden in a severe same-series SFF match |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Snake routed Raiden in an expected same-series mismatch. The writeup emphasizes that the result was a severe SFF beating, though Raiden retained enough support to avoid the historically extreme percentage some expected.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says Raiden was heavily SFFed by fellow Metal Gear character Solid Snake, while noting that Raiden still performed better than many expected.

Snake handles Squall at the height of his popularity |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solid Snake entered as one of the contest's biggest favorites and easily handled a well-supported Squall. The writeup attributes Squall's poor showing to his weak standing at the time and explicitly describes the result as non-SFF.

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.
