SC2K2 Round 1 North Duke Nukem handles Iori in a routine opener

Duke Nukem handled an obscure Iori as expected and looked set for a favorable second-round path. The writeup treats the match as routine and mainly uses it to frame Duke as the favorite against Alucard.

SC2K3 Round 1 West
Ryu 69.9%
Ryu crushes Duke and quietly warns the Dante backers

Ryu demolished Duke Nukem far more convincingly than many expected. The writeup treats the performance as an overlooked warning that the supposedly obvious Dante-Ryu result in the next round was far from settled.

SC2K4 Round 1 Midgar Cloud routs Duke despite a memorable milk-carton picture boost 1

Cloud still routed Duke Nukem, but Duke's memorable milk-carton picture gave the underdog an unusual opening burst and complicated early Link-Cloud comparisons. The writeup frames the match as the start of a contest-long contest between the two favorites' performances.

Pic: The writeup says Duke Nukem's milk-carton match picture drew humorous support, helping him take an early lead and plausibly contributing to Cloud's slight underperformance.

CB VI Round 1 Division 8
Ike 28.8%
Duke shocks Gordon while Ike nearly makes it chaotic

A supposedly weak fourpack produced one of the round's funniest matches, with Duke unexpectedly taking control while Gordon Freeman disappointed again. Ike also impressed with a strong daytime push even though he never completed the comeback.

5 3246
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 1 Division 1
Marth 29.5%
Kefka 21.5%
Duke shocks the field as Kefka collapses

A heavily debated fodder match became genuinely strange when Duke surged into contention and Kefka collapsed to the bottom. Marth eventually took first, but Duke's unexpected advancement became the match's defining surprise.

CB VIII Round 1 Heart
Charizard 64.3%
Charizard crushes Duke and ends the debate quickly

Charizard ended a surprisingly persistent pre-match debate almost immediately by crushing Duke Nukem. The writeup says Duke's weakness limits what can be learned, but Charizard still looked clearly legitimate.

7 5206
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 8
Mario 69.5%
Fawful 10.4%
Mario looks untouchable immediately before the Vivi shock

Mario produced a completely routine top-seed blowout over Duke and Fawful, giving no hint that his next match would become one of the contest's major shocks. The writeup is striking mainly in hindsight.

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.
