CB IX Round 1 Division 1
Yoshi 60.0%
Solaire wins the picture battle for second 1

Yoshi won easily, while Solaire took second in the Expert Challenge ordering over Demi-Fiend. The writeup also laments Yoshi's poor bracket draw because his next match was against Link.

Pic: The writeup says the debate over second place effectively ended once the picture appeared, with Solaire's image making him look more distinctive and appropriate than Demi-Fiend.

CB IX Round 1 Division 2
Sub-Zero 49.0%
Sub-Zero's classic look helps sink Garrus 1

Sub-Zero beat Garrus in a result the writeup finds disappointing given Mass Effect's broader strength that year. Garrus still looked respectable, while Sub-Zero's showing reinforced his status as the stronger Mortal Kombat contest character.

Pic: The writeup explicitly credits Sub-Zero's classic-costume picture with helping him, saying the old look made him substantially more dangerous in the matchup.

CB IX Round 1 Division 3
Kirby 46.4%
Terra shines while Peach drains Kirby's support 2

Kirby won, but Terra's performance was the surprise as she benefited from Peach draining Nintendo support from Kirby. The writeup treats Terra's Dissidia-era strength as increasingly legitimate.

LFF · Pic: The writeup says Peach LFFed Kirby, helping Terra look unusually strong against him. It also explicitly calls Kirby's simple spherical design a major picture advantage.

CB IX Round 1 Division 6
Crono 63.0%
Missile 19.3%
A dog picture helps Missile embarrass Kerrigan †OT 1

The writeup is mostly an enormous StarCraft and Blizzard rant; the actual match is remembered for Missile unexpectedly taking second over Kerrigan behind a highly favorable cute-dog presentation.

Pic: The writeup explicitly calls Missile's cute-dog presentation the ultimate picture factor and treats it as part of why he could beat Kerrigan.

CB IX Round 1 Division 7
Catherine 39.8%
Catherine's picture edge helps her outlast Neku 1

Catherine and Neku spent hours trading tiny leads before Catherine finally pulled away late. The upset is presented as a rare fodder match where a cult following and strong presentation combined into a memorable win.

Pic: The writeup says Catherine had a huge picture advantage and later credits her visual appeal as part of why she won the close matchup.

CB IX Round 1 Division 8
Sissel 9.7%
Red combines overwhelming strength with a huge picture advantage 1

Pokémon Trainer Red crushed the field and reinforced the sense that he was one of the contest's strongest characters. Corvo took second over Sissel in the Expert Challenge ordering.

Pic: The writeup explicitly calls Red's nostalgic match picture a huge and unfair advantage, saying it packed much of the author's childhood into one image.

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.
