Xenogears beats Pokémon after a troubled poll restart

Xenogears beat Pokémon Gold and Silver after the original poll had to be restarted because of a voting bug. The writeup considers anti-Pokémon sentiment an important part of the loss while also crediting Xenogears' Square RPG appeal.

Final Fantasy VII crushes Xenogears on its expected path

Final Fantasy VII overwhelmed Xenogears in another routine step toward the expected Ocarina of Time showdown. The writeup treats the only real drama as measuring how convincingly the tournament favorite could dispatch familiar Square opposition.

Final Fantasy VIII destroys StarCraft's repeat-run hopes

Final Fantasy VIII crushed StarCraft far more decisively than many expected and established itself as a serious contender. The writeup rejects the idea that StarCraft's old rally magic would automatically translate to another deep run.

KOTOR wins while Xenogears finally shows hidden strength

KOTOR beat Xenogears in a debated matchup, but Xenogears stayed close enough to suggest it had more hidden strength than its old bad draws implied. The writeup argues that reversed seeding might even have changed the result.

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.
