Goofs and Issues:
- SC2K3 match Mario vs. Crono II started early, and also finished late because Mario was in the middle of a comeback at the normal finish.
- SpC2K4 match Xenogears vs. Pokemon was restarted and run again the next day, because initially only registered users could vote.
- SpC2K4 match Vice City vs. KotOR ran for two days because the site was experiencing difficulties.
- SC2K4 match Ryu vs. Jill was run twice, because initially the match picture often showed Sora/HK-47 instead due to a glitch.
Trivia
- After Link won CBV, a bonus Board 8-only poll was created in a sticky topic, Link vs. Jay Solano. Jay Solano won.
