Round 1 |

|
Cloud crushes Fox and ignites the Square-Nintendo rivalry |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A heavily hyped first Square-versus-Nintendo matchup turned into an easy Cloud win. The writeup remembers the match less for suspense than for igniting the long-running Square-Nintendo rivalry and intensifying anticipation for Mario versus Cloud.

|
CATS briefly leads Cloud and creates the CATS Army legend |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CATS briefly led Cloud at the opening, creating a memorable Board 8 spectacle before Cloud predictably destroyed him. The writeup treats the moment as the birth of the CATS Army and an early milestone in Cloud's long-running difficulty with the board vote.

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.

Round 1 |
Division 2 |
|
Cloud dominates while Ocelot comfortably beats Jill for second |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud dominated the field as expected, while Ocelot took second over Jill without ever facing serious danger. The writeup finds the result ordinary at the time but notable in retrospect because Jill would reverse the comparison a year later.

Division 6 |
|
Cloud and Midna dispatch an overmatched field |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud and Midna advanced in another first-round match the writeup regarded as essentially decided before it began. Edgeworth and Axel never generated the upset or novelty support needed to matter.

|
Cloud looks weak while Ridley exceeds expectations |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
Cloud looked unexpectedly vulnerable for much of the match, prompting concern that he had lost strength. Ridley's showing is treated as surprisingly good even after allowing for the favorable picture situation.
Pic: The writeup says Cloud received a bad picture while Ridley was finally recognizable, presenting those image conditions as part of why Cloud looked weaker than expected.

CB IX |
Round 1 |
Division 5 |
|
Cloud wins big and still looks worryingly weak |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud won the expected blowout, but the writeup still considered the performance too weak for a former top-tier character facing extreme fodder. The match becomes another warning about Final Fantasy VII's decline.

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.
