Symphony survives Perfect Dark but weakens its GoldenEye case |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symphony of the Night beat Perfect Dark after a matchup surrounded by elaborate pre-match strength theories. A long poll freeze interrupted the action, and Perfect Dark's late resistance left the writeup convinced that Castlevania had little chance against GoldenEye next.

GoldenEye beats Castlevania and settles the overhyped triangle |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GoldenEye comfortably beat Symphony of the Night and ended the elaborate pre-match debate over that portion of the bracket. The writeup says Castlevania's earlier struggle with Perfect Dark had already revealed the mismatch and confirms GoldenEye as the clearly stronger property.

Mario 64 crushes Kirby as Symphony of the Night advances |
✓ |

|
|
|
1 |
|
Super Mario 64 dominated the poll, while Symphony of the Night comfortably beat Resident Evil for the other advancing spot. Kirby Super Star collapsed badly in Mario's presence.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says Super Mario 64 SFFed Kirby Super Star heavily, using Kirby's collapse to argue that Kirby's character strength does not come primarily from his games.

Mario 64 overturns Chrono Trigger and changes the bracket |

|
Chrono Trigger built an overnight lead on Mario 64, only to collapse badly once Mario's morning vote arrived. Mario 64 turned the match into a convincing win and shattered expectations for Chrono Trigger's deeper run.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says Yoshi's Island was SFFed into a very weak last-place showing, with Mario 64 providing the clearest source of the overlap.

|
|
|
|
|

Symphony of the Night dismisses the Banjo hype |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symphony of the Night handled Banjo-Kazooie comfortably despite some pre-match upset buzz. The writeup treats the result as another demonstration of how much internet respect the Castlevania classic had accumulated.

Symphony ends Donkey Kong Country 2's Cinderella run |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symphony of the Night decisively ended Donkey Kong Country 2's surprise run once the low seed finally met a proven heavyweight. The writeup still considers DKC2's overall contest a major success.

Ocarina routs Symphony but still looks a step slow |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ocarina of Time routed Symphony of the Night in the divisional final, but still looked weaker than historical comparisons suggested. The writeup explicitly says rally spillover had virtually no effect here.

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.
