Ganondorf 52.0%
Vivi 48.0%
Ganondorf narrowly holds off a strong Vivi challenge

Ganondorf beat Vivi after an early struggle, but Vivi stayed close enough to reinforce his reputation as an unusually durable Final Fantasy character. The writeup believes Nintendo and Zelda momentum were just enough to decide the matchup.

Nintendo overlap buries Ganondorf while Samus advances 2

Samus and Vincent advanced as expected, but Ganondorf collapsed so badly that Gordon Freeman escaped last place. The writeup treats the fanbase interaction as the defining feature of an otherwise predictable divisional final.

SFF · LFF: The writeup describes Ganondorf as heavily suppressed by Samus through their shared Nintendo support. It also says Ganondorf's presence drained Samus enough to tighten her comparison with outside contender Vincent.

Pig Ganon picture helps Luigi reverse their matchup 1

Master Chief took first, while Luigi defeated Ganondorf in the fight for the other advancing spot. The writeup repeatedly points to Ganondorf's unfavorable first-appearance sprite as the decisive handicap.

Pic: The writeup says Ganondorf's ugly pig sprite hurt him badly against Luigi and likely reversed a matchup Ganondorf had previously won.

Samus advances but her weak SFF showing raises alarms 1

Samus advanced as expected, but the writeup considers her showing against Ganondorf disappointing next to Mario's destruction of Zero. Her weak SFF performance is presented as a serious warning before the coming Mario matchup.

SFF: The writeup says Samus barely managed to SFF Ganondorf, with only enough suppression to offset Ganondorf's recent Zelda-series boost.

Spring 2K5 Division Final Triforce
Ganondorf 76.6%
Robotnik's rout becomes another chapter in Sonic-series disappointment †OT 1

The writeup spends most of its time reviewing years of disappointing Sonic-series contest performances, using Robotnik's lopsided loss to Ganondorf as the latest example.

Pic: The writeup says Ganondorf dominated despite an ugly Wind Waker picture and suggests Robotnik would have looked even worse against a stronger SSBM-style Ganondorf image.

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.
