Round 1 |

|
Donkey Kong wins but raises early strength concerns |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Donkey Kong won an obvious mismatch, but the writeup focuses on how unimpressive the performance looked for a top seed against an obscure opponent. It immediately raised doubts about his ability to challenge Mario.

Round 1 |
West |
|
Donkey Kong beats Vyse without settling the Vercetti debate |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Donkey Kong beat Vyse as expected but did not produce the overwhelming showing supporters wanted before a possible match with Tommy Vercetti. The writeup therefore left the once-unthinkable DK upset case alive without strongly endorsing it.

|
Vivi surprises Donkey Kong and makes an immediate impact |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vivi turned a supposedly close match into a decisive win over Donkey Kong, immediately establishing himself as a serious newcomer. The writeup sees the result as both evidence of Vivi's appeal and another demonstration that Donkey Kong's icon status does not translate reliably into contest strength.

|
Donkey Kong beats Sam Fisher in an uneventful matchup |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Donkey Kong beat Sam Fisher in a match the writeup repeatedly calls dull. DK started above expectations but gradually gave enough back that the result offered little confidence about his next round.

|
Kratos wins as Nintendo LFF weakens Donkey Kong and Marth |
|
✓ |
|
|
|
1 |
|
Kratos took first in a result that surprised many casual brackets but looked straightforward to the writeup. Donkey Kong still advanced, though sharing Nintendo support with Marth made an already difficult matchup much worse for him.
LFF: The writeup says Donkey Kong and Marth drained each other's Nintendo support, making outsider Kratos's first-place finish effectively inevitable.

|
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.

|
Vivi repeats his old Donkey Kong win almost exactly |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vivi and Donkey Kong essentially replayed their 2004 matchup, with almost no change in the underlying result. The writeup treats the uncanny repetition as more notable than the match itself.

Donkey Kong crushes Lightning as Falco gets SFFed |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Donkey Kong unexpectedly made a supposedly debatable match trivial and punished the heavily disliked Lightning. Falco collapsed under the Nintendo overlap and finished well behind both.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says Falco was SFFed in the Nintendo-heavy match, leaving him far weaker than Donkey Kong.

CB X |
Round 1 |
Division 1 |
|
Donkey Kong wins the battle of legendary chokers |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Donkey Kong demolished Tidus in a matchup built around two characters with long reputations for choking. The writeup attributes the result to Donkey Kong's renewed relevance, broader Nintendo momentum and Tidus's continued decline.

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.
