Sandbag survives Samus SFF to take second |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Samus dominated as expected, but Sandbag still beat Isaac Clarke for second in the Expert Challenge ordering despite Nintendo overlap. The writeup treats that as another sign of Sandbag's unusually durable joke support.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says Sandbag was SFFed by Samus, making Sandbag's second-place Expert Challenge finish more impressive.

Samus opens her run with a dominant rout |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus overwhelmed Prince of Persia from the opening vote and never gave the match any suspense. The writeup treats the dominant start as the beginning of an especially strong run for Samus.

|
Samus and Nightmare advance through an uneventful opener |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus and Nightmare advanced through one of the round's least eventful matches. The writeup finds little to learn beyond Samus taking care of business and the weaker entrants remaining firmly in fodder territory.

Frog survives Axel after a huge comeback and late rally |
|
|
✓ |
|
|
1 |
|
Frog built a large early cushion, lost it to Axel's powerful daytime comeback, and then recovered in the final stretch. The writeup treats the late Board 8 rally as decisive in Frog reclaiming the advancing spot.
Rally: The writeup describes Board 8 and other supporters openly rallying for Frog during the final stretch, with the late surge overturning Axel's comeback and restoring Frog to second place.

|
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 Yuri and strengthens her championship case |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Samus crushes Lara and reveals a dramatic strength surge |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus demolished former top seed Lara Croft far more decisively than the writeup expected, turning an obvious win into a major statement about Samus's rising strength. Lara's showing is framed as another step in a steep decline from her early contest status.

|
Samus wins easily but misses the expected Nintendo blowout |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus easily beat Isaac, yet the writeup considered the margin disappointing because people expected a much harsher same-company blowout. Isaac's resistance became an enduring puzzle while Samus-over-Link speculation continued anyway.

|
Samus handles Ken and looks ready for Ryu |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus beat Ken in a routine match that mainly served as a measuring stick for an expected meeting with Ryu. The writeup says her performance made her look well prepared for that matchup.

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.
