writeup (md)
SC2K3 Round 1 North
KOS-MOS 62.0%
KOS-MOS upsets Crash as his contest relevance fades

KOS-MOS decisively beat the favored Crash, confirming that his old platforming fame no longer guaranteed contest support. The writeup says the blowout made KOS-MOS look stronger than she really was while symbolizing Crash's decline.

2 1743
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 1 Chaos
Ryu 62.1%
KOS-MOS 37.9%
Ryu beats KOS-MOS while Samus emerges as the bigger story

Ryu beat KOS-MOS as expected, but the writeup uses the result mainly to infer that Samus had grown much stronger than older standings indicated. That implication sharply reduced the plausibility of Sonic upsetting her later in the division.

writeup (md)
SC2K5 Round 1 Chaos
Luigi 66.0%
KOS-MOS 34.0%
Luigi routs KOS-MOS and strengthens the Nintendo boost case

Luigi demolished KOS-MOS despite projections that had the matchup much closer. The writeup treats the result as one of the clearest early examples of the contest-wide Nintendo boost and a warning that Tifa's next match might not be easy.

4 2509

CB2K6 Round 1 Triforce
KOS-MOS 65.4%
Amy Rose 34.6%
KOS-MOS beats Amy despite a late Sonic day-vote recovery

KOS-MOS beat Amy more easily than the writeup expected, helped by Amy's poor standing even among Sonic fans. Amy's strong daytime recovery was the only notable trend and foreshadowed how important that voting bloc could become later.

KOS-MOS 18.4%

KOS-MOS advances as Blizzard LFF rewrites four-way expectations 1

Mega Man took the expected first place, but the real story was KOS-MOS advancing while Diablo and Arthas split overlapping support. The writeup treats the result as the match that taught Board 8 how LFF worked in four-way polls.

LFF: The writeup says Diablo and Arthas weakened each other by sharing the same Blizzard fanbase, allowing KOS-MOS to advance despite neither Blizzard entrant being individually helpless.

6 3253
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 1 Division 3
Ganondorf 43.9%
Frog 24.2%
KOS-MOS 19.5%
Frog holds off KOS-MOS despite the picture controversy 1

Ganondorf won comfortably while Frog held off KOS-MOS without the expected daytime collapse. The delayed match picture caused controversy, but once it appeared the writeup says it did little to change the Frog-KOS-MOS race.

Pic: The writeup says the eventual match picture hurt Ganondorf while giving KOS-MOS no meaningful advantage over Frog, even though KOS-MOS supporters had expected her image to help.

7 5156
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 2
KOS-MOS 35.9%
Dunban 10.6%
Vincent wins but exposes deeper Final Fantasy VII decline

Vincent won but performed far below what his old contest strength suggested against KOS-MOS and Dunban. The writeup sees the result as another unmistakable sign that Final Fantasy VII had fallen sharply.

8 7300
writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 8
KOS-MOS 54.5%
Ellie 45.5%
KOS-MOS beats Ellie despite an outside vote push 1

KOS-MOS upset Ellie despite an outside appeal for The Last of Us fans to vote. The writeup treats the result as another case where GameFAQs' old-JRPG preferences overwhelmed the popularity of a major recent Western game.

Rally: The writeup quotes an Ellie supporter posting to The Last of Us community and explicitly asking people to visit GameFAQs and vote for her during the match.

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.
