Samus falls first as Nintendo SFF shapes the Battle Royale 1

The first Battle Royale largely followed expectations at the top, while Samus became the first elimination after being squeezed by the other Nintendo heavyweights. Snake finishing ahead of Mario was the main unexpected development and set up the next day's drama.

SFF: The writeup says Link and Mario SFFed Samus heavily enough to drive her into last place and eliminate her.

Link SFFs Mario out while Snake keeps surprising 1

Mario became the second elimination as Link absorbed the Nintendo support that had been shared with Samus the day before. Snake again outperformed expectations, while Sephiroth's repeated struggles to escape last place foreshadowed the next round.

SFF: The writeup says Link SFFed Mario to death, pushing Mario into last place despite his status as a traditional heavyweight.

Snake survives Sephiroth in a rallied and controversial finish 3

Snake survived Sephiroth after a dramatic late comeback attempt and another last-minute Metal Gear response. The result became the capstone of Snake's extraordinary run, while Sephiroth was remembered as the Battle Royale's major disappointment.

SFF · Rally · Cheat: The writeup says Cloud heavily SFFed Sephiroth, helping leave him vulnerable to Snake. It also describes intense late rallying and records cheating allegations around the finish, while noting that CJayC said no cheating was found.

CB2K6 Battle Royale
Link 44.6%
Link and Cloud finally end Snake's extraordinary run

With Sephiroth gone, the fourth day became a predictable Link-and-Cloud show and finally ended Snake's run. The writeup spends most of its attention celebrating how many elite opponents Snake had already survived before the two remaining giants eliminated him.

5 2566
writeup (md)
CB2K6 Battle Royale
Link 53.9%
Link dominates Cloud to close the Battle Royale

Link took control of the final Battle Royale matchup almost immediately and never gave Cloud a realistic chance to win. The writeup treats the result as another demonstration that Cloud was no longer a true threat to Link.

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.
