CB X Round 2 Division 4
2B 53.7%
Ness 46.3%
2B upsets Ness but still looks overseeded

2B upset the Board 8 favorite Ness and established herself as a legitimate midcard character, though the writeup still considers her badly overseeded as a top seed. The win is attributed to real strength rather than any outside intervention.

CB IX Round 2 Division 3
Big Boss 43.6%
Luigi 42.8%
Ness 13.6%
Ness vote drain helps Big Boss edge Luigi 1

Big Boss and Luigi stayed tied for hours before Metal Gear's stronger late trend finally separated them. Ness's presence is treated as the key fanbase drain that prevented Luigi from taking fuller advantage of Big Boss's weak daytime vote.

LFF: The writeup says Ness leeched Luigi's Nintendo support and made the difference in a match where Luigi and Big Boss were otherwise close in strength.

CB VIII Round 2 Jenova
Big Daddy 54.4%
Ness 45.6%
Big Daddy overcomes Ness after a close opening

Big Daddy overcame an early Ness lead and turned a close start into a comfortable advancement. The writeup highlights the striking contrast in their match picture but does not claim the image decided the result.

4 2098

SC2K5 Round 2 Mushroom
Mario 82.8%
Ness 17.2%
Mario obliterates Ness with exceptionally strong SFF 1

Mario annihilated Ness in a result the writeup treats as an extreme SFF beating. The performance strengthened Mario's championship case while making Ness's earlier upset over CJ look even stranger statistically.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Mario SFFed Ness and argues that the suppression was even stronger than prior same-fanbase results involving Ness.

5 1760
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 2 Midgar
Auron 65.0%
Ness 35.0%
Auron beats Ness in another hard-to-read Midgar result

Auron beat Ness in a result everyone expected, but Ness performed better than the old projections suggested. The writeup treats the outcome as another example of the bracket making individual strength difficult to interpret.

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.
