writeup (md)
SC2K5 Round 1 Zebes
Frog 51.7%
Riku 48.3%
Frog survives Riku but sees his old reputation collapse

Frog survived Riku, but Riku's sustained pressure convinced the writeup that Frog's celebrated 2004 strength had been badly overstated. Instead of reinforcing Frog's reputation, the close win turned him into one of the contest's biggest statistical question marks.

CB2K6 Round 1 Patriot
Yoshi 55.2%
Riku 44.8%
Yoshi beats Riku but loses confidence before facing Dante

Yoshi beat Riku in a seeding upset but steadily lost ground after a blistering start. The writeup treats Riku's resistance as a moral victory and as a warning that Yoshi's coming match with Dante had become much less comfortable.

CB VI Round 1 Division 7
Riku 27.2%
Roxas 17.7%
Haseo 9.3%
Ryu overwhelms the split Kingdom Hearts field †OT

Much of the writeup is an extended aside explaining who Haseo is; its match discussion emphasizes Ryu Hayabusa unexpectedly overpowering the split Kingdom Hearts field and making his later rematch with Riku look settled.

writeup (md)
CB VI Round 2 Division 7
Riku 19.4%
Nightmare 13.9%
Riku reverses the Ryu result as four-way logic breaks again

Snake advanced easily, while Riku reversed his opening-round loss to Ryu Hayabusa and took the other spot. The writeup treats the reversal as another example of how unreliable direct comparisons could become in the four-way format.

writeup (md)
CB VI Division Final Division 7
L-Block 28.6%
Kratos 20.9%
Riku 18.0%
L-Block nearly challenges Snake and becomes an elite threat

Snake eventually won, but L-Block dominated the opening and advanced with ease over Kratos and Riku. The writeup marks this as the first match where the joke entrant looked capable of threatening the contest's established elite directly.

6 3270
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 1 Division 7
Riku 27.4%
Leon and Riku advance through a routine opener

Leon and Riku advanced in the expected order, with none of the feared choke or upset scenarios materializing. The writeup treats it as another largely forgettable first-round result.

7 3289
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 2 Division 7
Dante 33.9%
Riku 22.2%
Hogger 13.1%
Dante and Leon restore order after a lively start

Dante and Leon advanced in the same order their prior meetings suggested, despite a brief burst of early excitement. Riku and Hogger never developed the upset or bandwagon threat some had imagined.

8 3772
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Midgar
Riku 62.3%
Riku advances cleanly with no warning signs

Riku handled Ramza without major difficulty, though not as comfortably as some expected. The writeup sees the performance as perfectly respectable and gives no warning of Riku's later upset.

9 3815
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 2 Midgar
Riku 47.5%
Captain Falcon validates himself as Kingdom Hearts slips

Captain Falcon finally received a clean 1v1 opportunity after years of bad Nintendo-heavy draws and used it to beat Riku convincingly. The writeup treats the result as both Falcon validation and another sign of Kingdom Hearts decline.

writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 9
Charizard 59.2%
Riku 30.2%
Nier 10.7%
Charizard closes Round One with a PokéFEAR rout

Charizard demolished Riku and Nier to close Round One and push PokéFEAR even higher. The writeup treats the match as both a Charizard statement and a fitting end to an overlong opening round.

11 7281
writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 6
Bayonetta 64.4%
Riku 35.6%
Bayonetta obliterates Riku and reveals a massive boost

Bayonetta demolished Riku in a matchup many had expected to be close or even favor Kingdom Hearts. The writeup treats the result as one of the contest's largest apparent boosts, driven by Bayonetta's Nintendo and Smash relevance.

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.
