Mario opens the first contest with an easy win |
|
|
|
|
|
|

The first contest match was treated as a predetermined Mario win, with the real question being how dominant he would look. The writeup also stresses the unusual joke-vote and early-contest atmosphere surrounding the result.

Mario opens the South with a routine SFF blowout |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Mario opened the heavily anticipated South Division by crushing Olimar. The writeup treats the result as a routine SFF blowout that revealed little about how Mario would fare against the division's elite opposition.
SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Mario's victory over fellow Nintendo entrant Olimar a mundane SFF beating and says SFF was in full swing during the match.

Mario finally delivers a convincing non-Nintendo opening blowout |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mario finally delivered the kind of overwhelming first-round performance the writeup had long expected from him against a non-Nintendo opponent. The result is used to reassess earlier supposedly weak Mario showings as evidence that those opponents were stronger than believed.

Mario opens the contest with an emphatic win over Joanna |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mario opened the contest with the expected blowout, and the writeup mainly watches turnout and whether the result strengthened his case as the favorite. It also notes the Gamespot banner and the unusual ability to keep voting after the poll had technically ended.

Mario SFFs Pac-Man and hands Big Boss an easy advance |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Mario dominated as expected, but his suppression of Pac-Man made Big Boss's second-place finish much easier than many anticipated. The writeup treats Pac-Man's shared old-school appeal with Mario as the key reason the debated advancing spot became one-sided.
SFF: The writeup says Mario was an especially disastrous matchup for Pac-Man because of their overlapping old-school appeal and describes Pac-Man as being SFFed to death.

|
|
|
|
|

Division 8 |
|
Mario looks untouchable immediately before the Vivi shock |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mario produced a completely routine top-seed blowout over Duke and Fawful, giving no hint that his next match would become one of the contest's major shocks. The writeup is striking mainly in hindsight.

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.
