Spring 2K4 Round 1 8
Duck Hunt 49.9%
Donkey Kong barely survives Duck Hunt's huge comeback

Donkey Kong built what looked like a safe lead before Duck Hunt spent most of the day mounting a relentless comeback. The writeup says Donkey Kong escaped largely because time and bracket support ran out on Duck Hunt, making the match an early contest classic.

Spring 2K4 Round 2 8 Zelda demolishes Donkey Kong and deepens series dominance

The Legend of Zelda flattened Donkey Kong and extended the series' unbeaten, dominant start. The writeup portrays Donkey Kong as an especially unreliable Nintendo property and says the result made an all-Zelda late bracket feel increasingly plausible.

BGE 2K9 Round 1 1972-1988
Tetris 53.6%
Donkey Kong survives Punch-Out as Tetris dominates 1

The first 2009 match centered on Donkey Kong versus Punch-Out for the second advancing spot. Donkey Kong survived an early scare and a reputation for choking to pull away, while Tetris dominated the field.

SFF: The writeup says Tetris imposed old-school overlap on Space Invaders and likely hurt Donkey Kong as well, though Donkey Kong was still strong enough to beat Punch-Out.

BGE 2K9 Round 2 1972-1988
Tetris 39.5%
Pac-Man 16.1%
Tetris confirms its edge over Mega Man 2

Tetris beat Mega Man 2 comfortably and was never seriously threatened after the opening moments. Mega Man 2 nevertheless held up better than its first-round showing suggested, while the writeup declines to pin the result on SFF.

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.
