Auron cruises past Big Boss as the Ganondorf matchup looms 1

Auron cruised past Big Boss in what the writeup treats mostly as a preview of Auron's coming match with Ganondorf. Big Boss's poor picture is singled out as a reason not to read too much into the size of the win.

Pic: The writeup argues that Big Boss's unrecognizable cartoon-style picture hurt him and that a recognizable Naked Snake image would have performed better against Auron.

Mario SFFs Pac-Man and hands Big Boss an easy advance 1

Mario dominated as expected, but his suppression of Pac-Man made Big Boss's second-place finish much easier than many anticipated. The writeup treats Pac-Man's shared old-school appeal with Mario as the key reason the debated advancing spot became one-sided.

SFF: The writeup says Mario was an especially disastrous matchup for Pac-Man because of their overlapping old-school appeal and describes Pac-Man as being SFFed to death.

Big Boss stuns Kirby in a massive opening-round upset 1

Big Boss delivered a result the writeup remembers as almost unimaginable at the time, beating a heavily favored Kirby outright. The upset immediately turned Big Boss into one of the contest's biggest talking points.

LFF: The writeup says Jinjo and Lucas hurt Kirby by splitting Nintendo support, though it also stresses that this alone cannot explain the scale of Big Boss's upset.

Big Boss becomes Metal Gear's first-round bright spot

Big Boss crushed Miles Edgeworth and became the only Metal Gear character the writeup thought looked genuinely good in the opening round. The dominant win briefly restored some pride to the series.

CB IX Round 1 Division 3
Big Boss 74.9%
Peacock 11.6%
Big Boss dominates as Viridian surprises Peacock

Big Boss dominated while Captain Viridian unexpectedly took second in the Expert Challenge ordering over Peacock. The writeup treats the lower-place upset as a minor curiosity beside Big Boss's overwhelming showing.

CB X Round 1 Division 3
Big Boss 56.7%
Ridley 43.3%
Big Boss withstands Ridley's Smash boost

Big Boss beat a Smash-boosted Ridley comfortably, though Ridley performed well enough to show clear improvement. The writeup frames the result as a rare case where an established non-Nintendo character resisted the contest's Nintendo surge.

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.
