Sonic 2 advances but adds to Sonic's warning signs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic 2 and Mortal Kombat II advanced in the expected order, leaving little actual drama. Secret of Mana looked respectable, but Sonic's modest winning performance reinforced the view that the Sonic games were weaker than expected.

Link's Awakening scare exposes Final Fantasy VI's decline |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Final Fantasy VI won a perfectly ordered match, but Link's Awakening staying even with it in the opening minutes badly damaged FF6's elite reputation. The writeup treats those few minutes as more important than the eventual easy finish.

Sonic 2 wins big with a small rally boost |

|
Sonic 2 was already winning decisively before the simultaneous rally traffic arrived, then gained a few more points from spillover. The writeup treats the underlying result as a genuine old-games victory rather than a rally-created upset.
Rally: The writeup says Undertale rally spillover modestly favored Sonic 2 over Uncharted 2, making an already comfortable Sonic win somewhat larger.

Rally spillover amplifies Pokémon's already dominant Sonic rout |

|
Pokémon RBY was already routing Sonic 2 before Undertale rally spillover pushed the result even higher. The underlying blowout made Pokémon look like a true title contender even after separating out the outside traffic.
Rally: The writeup says Undertale's simultaneous rally traffic spilled into the Pokémon poll and further boosted Pokémon RBY beyond an already dominant natural performance.

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.
