SC2K5 Semifinal
Mario 57.2%
Mario handles Snake and keeps rolling toward the championship

Mario controlled Snake throughout the semifinal, although Snake earned the moral victory his fans wanted by stealing a handful of updates. The writeup sees the overall margin as further proof that Mario had risen sharply and was the clear tournament favorite.

CB2K6 Semifinal Snake handles Sonic and extends his remarkable 2006 run

After an erroneous opening poll was restarted, Snake took firm control and never let Sonic seriously threaten the result. Sonic recovered respectability during the day, but the writeup treats the win as the latest proof of Snake's remarkable 2006 surge.

CB VI Semifinal
L-Block 34.6%
Dante 15.1%
Internet attention sends L-Block charging into the final 1

L-Block's Internet momentum exploded as outside sites discovered the run, and Snake was left fighting Master Chief for the other final spot. The writeup treats this as the moment the joke had grown beyond Board 8 into a broad online bandwagon.

Rally: The writeup says outside attention from Kotaku, 4chan, Vote for the Worst and other sites expanded L-Block's support, including a visible surge after a Kotaku link.

CB VII Semifinal
Kirby 22.7%
Sephiroth 16.1%
Snake exploits the split field and beats Cloud 2

Snake converted the divided field into a surprise first-place finish, while Cloud recovered enough to secure the other final berth. Sephiroth's collapse and Kirby's early pressure made the semifinal far stranger than expected.

SFF · LFF: The writeup says Kirby SFFed Sephiroth badly, leaving Sephiroth unusually weak. It also says Sephiroth leeched enough Final Fantasy support from Cloud to keep Cloud from catching outside contender Snake.

CB VIII Semifinal Cloud survives Snake after a long semifinal deadlock

Snake spent hours trading the lead with Cloud and even stalled through Cloud's normally dominant overnight period, creating genuine upset hope. Cloud's morning strength finally broke the deadlock and ended Snake's deep run.

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.
