SC2K2 Round 1 South
Max Payne 76.2%
Max Payne cruises while looking ready for a deeper run

Max Payne dominated an obscure opponent and looked strong enough for a deep run by early-contest standards. The writeup also notes that the poll was the contest's lowest-scoring match to that point.

SC2K2 Round 2 South
Scorpion 65.4%
Max Payne 34.6%
Scorpion shocks Max Payne in a decisive upset

Scorpion demolished heavily favored Max Payne after most of the board misread their first-round blowouts. The writeup treats the result as both a major surprise and evidence that mainstream popularity did not translate cleanly to GameFAQs.

SC2K3 Round 1 South
Max Payne 54.0%
Max Payne wins as the GFNW legend takes hold

Max Payne beat Gordon Freeman in a match that looked close on paper but was never seriously in doubt. The writeup remembers it chiefly as the point where the long-running 'Gordon Freeman Never Wins' joke truly took hold.

SC2K3 Round 2 South
Sephiroth 82.7%
Max Payne 17.3%
Sephiroth crushes Max Payne and completes the South's elite trio

Sephiroth demolished Max Payne in a match the writeup considered almost entirely predetermined. Its main significance was completing the path toward the long-awaited Mario-Crono-Sephiroth endgame in the South.

SC2K4 Round 1 20XX
Max Payne 38.0%
Vercetti wins while Max Payne restores some contest credibility

Tommy Vercetti beat Max Payne, but the writeup considers Max's respectable showing the more important result. Max avoided the feared same-company collapse and strengthened his case for remaining in the field, while Vercetti looked weaker than his old hype suggested.

6 5208
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 8
Ganondorf 65.2%
Max Payne 16.8%
Guybrush finally succeeds despite removed fraudulent votes 1

Ganondorf won easily, while Guybrush finally earned a meaningful contest success by taking second in the Expert Challenge ordering over Max Payne. The removed fraudulent votes tainted the match without changing that placement.

Cheat: The writeup says fraudulent votes for Guybrush were removed during the match, while also stating that Guybrush still would have beaten Max Payne without them.

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.
