CB IX Round 2 Division 7
Catherine 16.8%
Samus stays steady while Catherine validates herself

Samus overwhelmed Knuckles and Catherine and remained one of the few Noble Nine characters consistently meeting expectations. Catherine's respectable share is treated as proof that her first-round upset was not pure luck.

CB VIII Round 2 Varia Samus crushes Jill and raises Cloud upset talk

Samus overwhelmed Jill early and still finished with a strong enough performance to make a potential upset of Cloud feel plausible. The writeup treats this as the start of an especially impressive Samus run.

CB VII Round 2 Division 3
Ganondorf 24.6%
Frog 19.9%
Nightmare 15.2%
Samus and Ganondorf provide a quiet rest break

Samus and Ganondorf advanced through what the writeup openly calls a rest-break match. Frog's old upset magic never appeared, and the result remained straightforward throughout.

CB VI Round 2 Division 1
Scorpion 24.0%
Frog 17.5%
Midna 12.6%
Samus dominates while Scorpion advances past a weakened Midna 1

Samus dominated while Scorpion comfortably secured the other advancing spot. Midna's earlier weakness and the Nintendo vote drain from Samus left her with little realistic path forward.

LFF: The writeup says Samus drained Nintendo support from Midna, worsening Midna's position against the outside contenders.

CB2K6 Round 2 Spazer
Ada Wong 20.2%
Samus crushes Ada while Resident Evil momentum stalls

Samus disposed of Ada in another expected win, but the writeup considers Ada's performance disappointing after Resident Evil's recent momentum. It mentions possible overlap as one explanation but explicitly leaves the cause unresolved.

SC2K5 Round 2 Zebes
Samus 70.1%
Frog 29.9%
Samus demolishes Frog and shatters his old contest mystique

Samus demolished Frog and erased the mystique built by Frog's string of close 2004 matches. The writeup treats the rout as another sign that Frog had been badly overrated and as strong evidence that Samus remained a championship threat.

SC2K4 Round 2 Chaos Samus crushes Fisher and takes command of Chaos

Samus annihilated Sam Fisher so thoroughly that early voters briefly suspected a broken poll. The writeup treats the blowout as confirmation that Samus was surging and had become the clear favorite to take the Chaos division.

SC2K3 Round 2 North
KOS-MOS 30.3%
Samus ends KOS-MOS hype with a decisive win

Samus decisively ended the brief KOS-MOS hype created by her first-round upset of Crash. The writeup saw the win as a partial recovery from Samus's disappointing opener and as evidence that Squall was unlikely to upset her next.

SC2K2 Round 2 West
Ryu 42.2%
Samus brushes aside the Ryu upset case

Ryu was a fashionable upset pick before the contest, but Samus controlled their match from the start. The result confirmed that her earlier win over Ken was not misleading and sent her toward an expected meeting with Sonic.

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.
