Contra exposes Phantasy Star's inflated seed with ease |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contra comfortably beat an overseeded Phantasy Star in a matchup that had attracted substantial pre-match debate. The writeup treats the result as evidence that the nomination system inflated weaker-system seeds and that franchise recognition did little for Phantasy Star itself.

Final Fantasy handles Contra and keeps Mario pressure alive |

|
|
|
Final Fantasy handled Contra convincingly and continued to look stronger than its place in the bracket suggested. The writeup emphasizes how much faith bracketmakers placed in the Final Fantasy name and builds anticipation for its meeting with Mario 3.

Zelda crushes Metroid while Contra fails to capitalize |

|
Zelda dominated as expected, and Metroid still advanced despite taking a severe fanbase hit. Contra's failure to capitalize became the larger surprise and began a recurring pattern of disappointing shooter performances.
SFF: The writeup says Zelda heavily SFFed Metroid, while also entertaining the possibility that Contra suffered some Nintendo-related overlap of its own.

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.
