|
|
|
|
|

GoldenEye and Mario RPG advance as DKC2 hype collapses |
✓ |

|
1 |
|
GoldenEye and Super Mario RPG advanced from a debated fourpack, while Resident Evil 2 remained respectable but never broke through. Donkey Kong Country 2's long-running hype ended in a disappointing SFF-affected debut.
SFF: The writeup says Super Mario RPG SFFed Donkey Kong Country 2, helping reduce a heavily hyped game to a weak opening-round showing.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Final Fantasy VII again dominated strong opposition, while GoldenEye clearly beat Super Mario RPG and Mario Kart 64 for second. The writeup mainly uses the result to continue the FF7-versus-Ocarina strength comparison.

|
Super Mario RPG beats Oblivion and seizes the division |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Super Mario RPG won a heavily debated matchup with Oblivion and became the clear favorite to escape the surrounding eightpack. Its severe overnight percentage bleed is attributed to the game's historically poor European availability rather than a real comeback.

Super Mario RPG keeps its miracle run alive |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|

Ocarina ends Super Mario RPG's miracle run |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ocarina of Time demolished Super Mario RPG in a semifinal that everyone expected to be one-sided. Early spillover inflated turnout but did not create a meaningful competitive effect, and Mario RPG's miracle run ended quietly.

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.
