Final Fantasy IV cruises in a completely predictable match |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Final Fantasy IV and Mega Man 3 advanced in exactly the order expected, with little suspense. The result strengthened Final Fantasy IV's standing and largely ended the idea that the original Final Fantasy was clearly stronger.

Super Mario World transformed its shaky first-round image into a dominant second-round performance. Final Fantasy IV clearly beat the original Final Fantasy, while Mega Man 3 continued the series' disappointing contest.
LFF: The writeup describes substantial overlap between the two Final Fantasy entries in the field, with the split weakening the original Final Fantasy while Final Fantasy IV still secured second.

Mario 3 survives Mario World but looks vulnerable |

Mario 3 survived a sustained challenge from Mario World, but the writeup treats the narrow escape as evidence that World's relative strength had risen sharply. It also frames the result as part of a broader generational shift on GameFAQs.
SFF · LFF: The writeup says Mario 3 clearly SFFed Sonic. It also says the other older games leeched Mario World more heavily, making World's near-win over Mario 3 especially striking.

Final Fantasy IV dispatches Deus Ex without drama |
|

|
|
|
|
Final Fantasy IV turned a matchup the writeup considered completely noncompetitive into an easy rout of Deus Ex. The commentary also celebrates FFIV's durability and laments that its next draw prevented a more informative contest run.

Link to the Past wins but fuels Zelda-fatigue concerns |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Link to the Past beat Final Fantasy IV easily, but the writeup still considered the performance too ordinary for a championship favorite. The result joins Ocarina's showing as evidence of growing Zelda fatigue.

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.
