SC2K4 Round 1 Midgar
Vyse 60.2%
Laharl 39.8%
Vyse handles Laharl in a low-stakes cult-character matchup

Vyse beat Laharl without much difficulty in what the writeup dismisses as a matchup between two cult characters with limited broader support. Vyse's previous contest exposure and greater familiarity are presented as enough to make the result predictable.

Yoshi 73.7%
Laharl 26.3%
Yoshi handles Laharl in a routine first-round mismatch

Yoshi handled Laharl almost exactly as expected in one of the first round's least eventful matches. The writeup treats it as little more than another easy Nintendo win before Yoshi's projected meeting with Mega Man.

CB VI Round 1 Division 7
Kirby 44.4%
L-Block 30.9%
Laharl 16.9%
L-Block shocks Laharl and briefly leads Kirby in its debut

Kirby took first as expected, but L-Block immediately demolished expectations by beating Laharl for the other advancing spot and even briefly leading Kirby. The writeup remembers those opening minutes as the first astonishing sign of what L-Block would become later in the contest.

CB VII Round 1 Division 7
Dante 50.1%
Hogger 16.8%
Laharl 16.4%
Hogger's rally steals second from a collapsing Ramza 1

Dante was never threatened, but the fight behind him became a three-way scramble in which Hogger surged past Ramza and Laharl. The result became an early signature moment for Ramza's reputation as a contest choker.

Rally: The writeup explicitly says Hogger drew an Internet rally during the day, turning a deficit into a lead and ultimately denying Ramza the advancing spot.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Heart
Laharl 56.3%
Laharl finally earns his first contest win

Laharl won an otherwise low-interest matchup between two cult characters and finally earned his first contest victory. The writeup finds the structural similarity to his 2004 match with Vyse more interesting than the vote itself.

6 5182
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 5
Dante 60.1%
Laharl 25.6%
Raz 14.3%
Dante wins big but nobody trusts the blowout

Dante routed Laharl and Raz, but the writeup refused to read much into another first-round blowout because Dante had repeatedly looked strong before later choking. The entire match is framed around the coming Squirtle test.

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.
