Rivalry Final Link wins a dull final as Oracle decides perfect brackets

Mario and Bowser led briefly behind bracket voting and anti-Link sentiment, but Link and Ganondorf soon took control and won the championship. The final is remembered more for the Oracle tiebreak among perfect brackets than for competitive drama.

Rivalry Semifinal Link's semifinal rout becomes the case for retirement

Link and Ganondorf demolished Cloud and Sephiroth so badly that the writeup treats the match as final proof Link should be retired. Cloud's late recovery merely kept the final percentage from looking even worse.

Rivalry Quarterfinal Link ends the vampire run without resistance

Link and Ganondorf overwhelmed Alucard and Dracula in a quarterfinal that closely echoed old Link blowouts of midcard opposition. The result added nothing new to the writeup's view of Link as untouchable.

Rivalry Division Final South Link and Ganondorf roll through another predictable match

Link and Ganondorf crushed Mega Man and Wily in another matchup the writeup considered too predictable to analyze at length. Link's dominance remained the only real story.

Rivalry Round 2 South Link's rout renews the retirement debate

Link and Ganondorf obliterated Amaterasu and Orochi and effectively ended remaining hopes for a normal upset of Link. The match reignited the long-running argument that Link should be retired from future contests.

Rivalry Round 1 South Link dominates amid low turnout and an ugly picture

Link and Ganondorf opened with the expected rout, but the writeup again focuses on poor turnout and a widely disliked match picture. Neither issue is presented as threatening the result.

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.
