Half-Life 14.6%
Ocarina dominates while Final Fantasy IX beats Half-Life

Ocarina of Time dominated an otherwise straightforward poll, while Final Fantasy IX beat Half-Life for the second advancing position. Half-Life's failure became another example of shooters disappointing in the bracket.

GOTD Round 1 Northwest Chrono Cross restores order in an SFF-tinged 8/9 match 1

Chrono Cross delivered one of the rare first-round 8/9 results that behaved roughly as expected. The writeup mostly celebrates the absence of another bracket disaster after a long run of chaotic 8/9 matches.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Chrono Cross versus Dragon Quest VIII a JRPG SFF match, with the stronger shared-audience title suppressing the weaker one.

GOTD Round 2 Northwest Majora's Mask sets the benchmark for Pokémon GSC

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division VII Chrono Cross humiliates San Andreas and casual brackets

Chrono Cross comfortably upset San Andreas and completed a second straight demolition of casual-favored opponents. The writeup attributes the result to GTA's severe anti-voting and Chrono Cross receiving the perfect bracket path.

BGE 2K15 Round 3 Division VII Super Mario RPG keeps its miracle run alive

Super Mario RPG beat Chrono Cross comfortably and continued a run that had exceeded almost every pre-contest expectation. Chrono Cross still earned respect by keeping the result more respectable than many of Mario RPG's earlier opponents.

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.
