writeup (md)
SC2K3 Round 1 West
Zelda 62.3%
Zelda dispatches Lara as her former star power fades

Zelda decisively beat a Lara Croft whose reputation had already fallen sharply from her former top-seed status. The writeup frames the loss as another sign of Lara's rapid decline while Zelda benefited from intense contemporary Zelda enthusiasm.

writeup (md)
SC2K5 Round 1 Gear
Zelda 59.6%
Vivi 40.4%
Zelda crushes Vivi and undercuts the statistical case against her

Zelda turned a heavily debated matchup into an easy win, badly undercutting the statistical case for Vivi. The writeup interprets the result as evidence of both Zelda's growth and the wider Nintendo boost that was becoming a major contest storyline.

writeup (md)
CB2K6 Round 1 Triforce
Zelda 86.1%
Zelda destroys Carmen and launches a serious Samus upset bandwagon

Zelda demolished Carmen Sandiego in what the writeup calls one of the contest's most dominant performances. The showing immediately fueled a serious bandwagon that Zelda might threaten Samus later in the bracket.

writeup (md)
CB VI Round 1 Division 4
Zelda 29.9%
The Boss 15.8%
Vincent crushes Zelda while a close third-place fight goes unnoticed

Vincent quickly turned the anticipated contest with Zelda into a comfortable first-place finish, while Zelda safely advanced with him. The writeup notes that the genuinely close Tails-The Boss fight for third mattered little because neither advancing spot was threatened.

5 3250
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 1 Division 2
Mario 40.5%
Zelda 24.6%
Zelda resists Mario and ends Knuckles's opening-round streak

Mario won as expected, but Zelda resisted the feared fanbase suppression and comfortably held the second advancing spot over Knuckles. The writeup treats the result as another blow to Sonic Team's standing and a strong performance for Zelda.

6 3768
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Varia
Zelda 70.7%
Zelda advances despite a mild underperformance

Zelda advanced comfortably but looked weaker than the writeup expected, while Travis benefited from recent No More Heroes visibility. The result did little to alter Zelda's projected path.

7 5221
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 9
Zelda 61.6%
Sackboy 11.2%
Zelda rebounds by crushing two Western mascots

Zelda crushed two Western franchise mascots and looked far healthier than she had in 2010. John Marston took second in the Expert Challenge ordering without ever threatening the winner.

8 7273
writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 5
Zelda 75.3%
Zelda destroys Ezio and seizes the division

Zelda crushed Ezio far more severely than in their earlier contest meeting and effectively ended debate about the division's natural favorite. The writeup treats the performance as another major Zelda and Nintendo statement.

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.
