The Boss handles Celes and punctures another Final Fantasy hype job |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Boss beat Celes comfortably after a pre-match debate the writeup considered badly overhyped. Much of the analysis argues that Final Fantasy VI's ensemble cast had repeatedly failed to translate the game's popularity into strong character results.

Tifa wins easily while the writeup turns to fight hypotheticals †OT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The writeup treats Tifa's easy win as obvious, then spends most of its space arguing about a hypothetical physical fight between Tifa and The Boss rather than the poll itself.

|
Vincent crushes Zelda while a close third-place fight goes unnoticed |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vincent quickly turned the anticipated contest with Zelda into a comfortable first-place finish, while Zelda safely advanced with him. The writeup notes that the genuinely close Tails-The Boss fight for third mattered little because neither advancing spot was threatened.

The Boss quietly upsets Nathan Drake |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Boss took an early lead over Nathan Drake and held a remarkably stable advantage for nearly the entire match. Drake's Uncharted 2 boost made him respectable, but not strong enough to avoid the upset.

Hyrule |
|
The Cube advances but its old bandwagon is gone |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weighted Companion Cube beat The Boss but looked ordinary doing so, which the writeup takes as proof that another major joke-character bandwagon was not developing. The match also illustrates how much harder 1v1s are for novelty entrants.

Division 2 |
|
The Boss wins as Heavy finishes last again |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Boss won and Chrom took second without either position being seriously threatened, while Heavy finished last yet again. The writeup treats the result as another reminder that Team Fortress characters had never translated their popularity into contest strength.

Sub-Zero outlasts The Boss in a strange trend battle |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bowser won as expected, but The Boss and Sub-Zero spent most of the match almost perfectly tied for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. Sub-Zero unexpectedly won the evening trend and finally pulled away.

|
The Boss ends Metal Sonic's community-backed run |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Boss beat Metal Sonic after a community nomination effort unexpectedly turned the Sonic side into a respectable opponent. The writeup gives most of the credit to the Board 8 campaign that got Metal Sonic into the bracket at all.

Division 5 |
|
Zelda crushes The Boss and looks near-elite |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zelda crushed The Boss and made her coming match with Squall look increasingly favorable. The writeup treats Breath of the Wild and broader Nintendo momentum as convincing explanations for Zelda's dramatic rise.

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.
