GOTD 2 Round 1 Division 3
Tekken 7 17.0%
Smash Ultimate opens with a fighting-game rout

Smash Ultimate annihilated Tekken 7 and looked every bit like the division's overwhelming favorite. Much of the writeup uses the result to celebrate Smash's dominance over traditional fighting-game expectations.

GOTD 2 Round 2 Division 3 Smash Ultimate SFFs A Link Between Worlds 1

Smash Ultimate crushed A Link Between Worlds in a badly drawn same-audience matchup. The writeup treats the loss as unusually harsh for a Zelda game but heavily distorted by Nintendo overlap.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Smash Ultimate versus A Link Between Worlds a standard SFF match and says the Zelda game was likely suppressed heavily by the stronger Nintendo title.

GOTD 2 Round 3 Division 3 Smash wins while Odyssey keeps looking stronger

Smash Ultimate crushed Spider-Man in a predictable divisional semifinal, but once again looked less dominant than Super Mario Odyssey. The comparison further fueled upset talk for their coming head-to-head match.

GOTD 2 Division Final Division 3 Smash reverse-SFFs Odyssey and restores the hierarchy 1

Smash Ultimate beat Super Mario Odyssey despite Odyssey looking stronger in every prior round. The writeup treats the result as a hierarchy-driven same-fanbase matchup, with reverse SFF offered as the main explanation for the reversal.

SFF: Ulti explicitly argues that Smash Ultimate reverse-SFFed Super Mario Odyssey, while the broader writeup also treats Nintendo hierarchy and same-fanbase effects as central to why Smash won more comfortably than expected.

GOTD 2 Quarterfinal Smash ends Xenoblade's surprise run comfortably

Smash Ultimate comfortably ended Xenoblade's surprise run and advanced to the semifinal. Although some observers called the result SFF, the writeup explicitly questions whether meaningful suppression occurred and emphasizes Xenoblade's bandwagon instead.

writeup (md)
GOTD 2 Semifinal Breath of the Wild SFFs Smash in the semifinal 1

Breath of the Wild demolished Smash Ultimate in a semifinal and continued its run of overwhelming late-round victories. Even accounting for heavy Nintendo SFF, the writeup treats the performance as extraordinary.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Breath of the Wild versus Smash Ultimate a bad case of SFF, with Zelda's place atop the Nintendo hierarchy suppressing Smash.

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.
