Tifa demolishes Mewtwo and exposes old hype |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tifa crushed Mewtwo in a matchup many had once imagined favoring the Pokémon character. The writeup uses the result to reject Mewtwo's rally-inflated 2013 reputation and to establish Tifa as a serious threat.

Mewtwo answers the fraud talk with a clean win |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mewtwo beat GLaDOS comfortably and resisted pre-match claims that his earlier deep runs had made him look stronger than he really was. The writeup treats the performance as a solid validation of his natural mid-to-high strength.

Mega Man won the bonus as Mewtwo and Pikachu split Pokémon support. Mewtwo nevertheless beat Pikachu in their internal comparison, adding another wrinkle to the series hierarchy.
SFF: The writeup says the two Pokémon entrants heavily suppressed each other, allowing Mega Man to win the bonus match comfortably.

Draven's restored rally wipes out Mewtwo's lead |
|
|
✓ |
|
|
1 |
|
Mewtwo looked ready to win while the League rally was offline, but Draven surged back the moment outside support returned. The match became one of the clearest demonstrations of how completely rally access controlled Draven's run.
Rally: The writeup says Draven's Reddit rally was briefly removed, allowing Mewtwo to build a large lead, then returned and erased that lead almost immediately.

Rally spillover helps Mewtwo crush Sonic |
|

|
Mewtwo crushed Sonic in a result made even more shocking by Sonic's failure to mount his usual daytime comeback. The win turned Mewtwo into the preferred anti-Draven hope for the remainder of the contest.
Rally: The writeup says rally spillover from the Link-Draven battle materially boosted Mewtwo, with Zen arguing that Sonic probably wins without that outside support.

Vincent's sabotaged picture becomes the match's defining controversy |

|
Mewtwo won convincingly while Phoenix unexpectedly pushed Vincent into last place. The notorious Vincent picture became one of the contest's biggest presentation controversies and overwhelmed much of the discussion.
Pic: The writeup says Vincent received an intentionally terrible Dirge of Cerberus picture and directly blames the image for worsening his performance enough that Phoenix could pass him.

Mewtwo crushes while Chester becomes a Board 8 record |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mewtwo delivered the round's largest blowout, but the writeup focuses on Board 8 mascot Chester deliberately becoming a historic futility benchmark. Chester's last-place finish is celebrated as the intended joke rather than treated as a failed campaign.

Ganondorf wins routinely but fails to build Sonic hype |
|

|
|
|
Ganondorf defeated Mewtwo in an uneventful all-Nintendo matchup and landed close to expectations. The writeup nevertheless saw the showing as too ordinary to support growing hopes of an upset over Sonic.

Cloud and Snake advanced through a deliberately uneventful quarterfinal after the drama of the prior match. The Cube's quiet exit confirmed that the inanimate-object wave had largely run out of steam.

Cloud dominated, while Mewtwo turned a seemingly unfavorable draw into one of the contest's largest surprises. Squall and Sora were left fighting each other for scraps behind the advancing pair.
SFF: The writeup says Cloud's presence created massive Square SFF against Squall and Sora, allowing outside entrant Mewtwo to capitalize and advance.

Cloud overwhelmed the field, while Mewtwo held off Midna for the other advancing position without the race ever becoming the epic duel its closeness suggested. The writeup sees Cloud's dominance as the larger statement.

|
Mewtwo erased the embarrassment of his earlier contest debut with an emphatic performance. Ness collapsed against the stronger Nintendo presence, allowing Pac-Man to advance instead.
SFF: The writeup explicitly says Mewtwo SFFed Ness badly, leaving Ness far weaker than expected and opening the second advancing spot for Pac-Man.

Ryu wins as Nintendo LFF drags Bowser down |

|
Ryu took first in a result that surprised many bracket players but made sense once Bowser's two fellow Nintendo entrants were considered. Bowser still advanced, but the writeup treats his weak showing as a serious warning for later rounds.
LFF: The writeup says Bowser was weakened by sharing Nintendo support with both Mewtwo and Toad, allowing outside entrant Ryu to take first place comfortably.
