Spring 2K4 Round 1 128 Melee survives MGS2 and inspires an enduring board phrase

Super Smash Bros. Melee beat Metal Gear Solid 2 but looked much shakier than its seed suggested. The writeup credits Metal Gear Solid 2 with being underestimated and remembers the match for inspiring the joking phrase "Ulti-Style Blowout."

BGE 2K9 Round 1 2001-2003 Melee advances while Fire Emblem gets double-SFFed 1

Melee and Wind Waker advanced exactly as expected, but Wind Waker held up well enough to raise concerns about Melee's future ceiling. Fire Emblem collapsed under an especially hostile overlap situation.

SFF: The writeup says Fire Emblem was SFFed from two directions by Wind Waker and by Melee, the game that had helped introduce the series to many voters.

GOTD Round 1 East Melee opens with a historic blowout

Melee delivered one of the contest's largest blowouts and immediately framed the East as a coming Melee-versus-Brawl showdown. The writeup also treats the result as further evidence that rhythm games had collapsed on GameFAQs.

BGE 2K15 Round 1 Division I
Portal 32.3%
Melee handles Portal without revealing much

Melee beat Portal comfortably in an otherwise uneventful opener, with its usual early strength followed by percentage bleed. The writeup says the result gave little hint of how badly a later Chrono Trigger matchup would go.

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.
