Zelda crushes The Boss and looks near-elite |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zelda crushed The Boss and made her coming match with Squall look increasingly favorable. The writeup treats Breath of the Wild and broader Nintendo momentum as convincing explanations for Zelda's dramatic rise.

Charizard rallies past Zelda in a Pyrrhic victory |
|
✓ |
✓ |
|
|
2 |
|
Zelda repeatedly looked on the verge of beating Charizard, but Pokémon's morning strength and late outside support dragged Charizard through a final-update escape. The writeup treats the win as a major warning that Charizard had been overrated.
LFF · Rally: The writeup says Donkey Kong's presence created heavy Nintendo vote splitting that badly hurt Charizard. It also says late rallies were necessary for Charizard to erase Zelda's lead and survive.

Zelda kills the Ezio upset hype immediately |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zelda erased the pre-match upset hype almost immediately and won comfortably. Ezio's later daytime gains were respectable but never made the contest meaningfully competitive.

Mario survives Mega Man X as Mudkip's joke run fades |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Mega Man X seriously challenged Mario for first before Mario's morning surge reversed the race. Zelda narrowly escaped last place but was eliminated, while Mudkip's inability to reproduce a joke run made the match a turning point for bandwagon expectations.
SFF: The writeup characterizes the all-Nintendo field as a heavily leeched matchup and describes Zelda's elimination as another result shaped by overlapping support.

Bidoof's suspected offsite push briefly terrifies Vincent |

✓ |
|
2 |
|
Link and Vincent ultimately advanced comfortably, but Bidoof briefly turned the match into chaos by challenging Vincent early and even beating Link in the opening vote. The writeup remembers the surge as one of the contest's most surreal joke-character moments.
Rally · Cheat: The writeup attributes Bidoof's extraordinary early surge to suspected offsite rallying, especially from 4chan, and also records suspicions of vote stuffing.

Zelda crushes Terra and puts real pressure on Samus |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zelda demolished Terra far more convincingly than the old projections suggested. The writeup says the performance transformed Zelda from an obvious division favorite into a serious threat to Samus's title hopes.

Snake crushes the Zelda bandwagon in another Gauntlet dud |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snake quickly dismantled a Zelda upset bandwagon that had grown from mismatched old statistics and concern over his ugly picture. The writeup treats the match as another example of Board 8 talking itself into a close contest that never materialized.

Round 2 |
West |
|
Mega Man beats Zelda but finally looks merely mortal |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man beat Zelda without the usual overwhelming dominance associated with his early contest career. The writeup considered the result mildly disappointing while allowing that Zelda's strength may simply have been underestimated.

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.
