The Cube advances while Donkey Kong disappoints again |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weighted Companion Cube turned a heavily debated Tidus-Donkey Kong match into another joke-character success, while Tidus narrowly secured the other advancing position. Donkey Kong's failure added another chapter to his contest reputation for disappointing.

The Cube advances again without needing any chaos |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mega Man and Weighted Companion Cube advanced in an anticlimactic match whose outcome settled almost immediately. The Cube now looked less like a volatile joke rally and more like a stable, legitimately dangerous entrant.

|
Snake controlled the match, while Mega Man and Weighted Companion Cube fought for the other advancing spot. The Cube's late surge completed another inanimate-object upset and ended Mega Man's run.
Rally: The writeup explicitly says Weighted Companion Cube rallied during its fight with Mega Man, producing the decisive swing that carried the Cube into the next round.

Cloud and Snake advance as the Cube fades quietly |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud and Snake advanced through a deliberately uneventful quarterfinal after the drama of the prior match. The Cube's quiet exit confirmed that the inanimate-object wave had largely run out of steam.

The Cube demolishes an overmatched Sandal |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weighted Companion Cube overwhelmed Sandal in a deliberately silly matchup. The writeup attributes the scale of the rout more to Sandal's weakness than to any revival of the Cube's old championship-level bandwagon.

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.

Luigi extinguishes the Cube's remaining joke hype |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luigi eliminated Weighted Companion Cube without any sign of the old joke-character surge. The writeup treats the loss as further proof that the Cube was now operating on ordinary strength rather than a bandwagon.

Lenneth nearly steals second from Claptrap |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weighted Companion Cube won as expected, but Lenneth made a surprisingly credible overnight attempt to catch Claptrap for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. Borderlands' daytime strength eventually ended the comeback.

Division 9 |
|
Zero wins as Rikku retires another joke contender |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zero won easily while Rikku gradually pulled away from Weighted Companion Cube for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. Strategic Mega Man fans voting away from Zero are discussed, but the outcome was never in doubt.

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.
