# Poll ▼ Contest Round Division Result Headline SFF LFF Rally Cheat Pic n

writeup (md)		 CB IX Round 2 Division 6
Pikachu 47.1%
Crono 40.4%
Magus 12.5%
 Pikachu exploits Crono-Magus SFF and eliminates Crono ✓ 1

Pikachu decisively eliminated Crono after Magus collapsed under same-series overlap. The result became one of the clearest signs that the old Noble Nine hierarchy no longer controlled the bracket.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Magus was SFFed into the ground by Crono, giving Pikachu the opening it needed.

writeup (md)		 CB VI Round 2 Division 3
Mario 46.6%
Big Boss 24.9%
Magus 17.8%
 Naked Snake picture sends Big Boss past Magus ✓ 1

Mario cruised while Big Boss demolished Magus for the other advancing spot. The writeup treats the newly revealed Naked Snake picture as the defining factor that transformed expectations before the poll even began.

Pic: The writeup calls Big Boss's Naked Snake image one of the clearest picture-factor examples, saying the strong recognizable picture helped turn the matchup against Magus decisively in Big Boss's favor.
3 1752
writeup (md)		 SC2K4 Round 2 Hyrule
Crono 69.8%
Magus 30.2%
 Crono crushes Magus in another severe same-series SFF match ✓ 1

Crono crushed Magus in a matchup the writeup considers another casualty of the company-based bracket. Magus briefly led with Board 8 support, but the eventual SFF blowout left no useful opportunity to test his real strength.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Magus was hit by SFF against fellow Chrono Trigger character Crono, making the lopsided result a poor measure of Magus's standalone strength.
4 1338
writeup (md)		 SC2K3 Round 2 North
Magus 50.3%
Ganondorf 49.7%
 Magus barely survives Ganondorf after a day-long comeback battle

Magus survived a dramatic Ganondorf comeback after his early lead nearly vanished during the morning vote. The razor-thin win punctured the enormous Magus-versus-Link hype even as it produced one of the contest's most memorable close matches.

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.
