SC2K2 Round 1 East
Crono 76.8%
Crono overwhelms Simon and announces himself as a threat

Some Board 8 users thought Simon's Castlevania name gave him a real chance, while Crono was still underestimated by people unfamiliar with Chrono Trigger. Crono's dominant performance instead established him as a serious threat.

CB VI Round 1 Division 4
Crono 48.2%
Raiden 20.2%
Raiden survives Sam Fisher's comeback but loses future hype

Crono took first without drama, while Raiden built a large enough cushion to survive Sam Fisher's strong daytime comeback for second. The writeup treats the finish as close on paper but never truly in danger, while Raiden's poor showing damaged his future expectations.

CB VIII Round 1 Varia Ezio advances but loses his upset hype

A brief poll glitch and name correction made the opening messy, but Ezio eventually pulled away from Simon Belmont. Even so, the writeup considers Ezio's showing poor enough to kill serious upset hype for his next match.

CB IX Round 1 Division 5
Hades 14.8%
Gordon cruises as Hades fails to threaten Simon

Gordon Freeman won comfortably, while Simon Belmont held second despite an unpopular match picture and pre-match fears of a Hades upset. The writeup treats Hades's failure as an early warning for the Kid Icarus cast.

CB X Round 1 Division 6 Smash and presentation lift Simon past Ryu Hayabusa 1

Simon Belmont upset Ryu Hayabusa after taking an early lead and resisting a long, slow comeback. The writeup credits Simon's Smash announcement and improved presentation for transforming a historically weak character into a legitimate threat.

Pic: The writeup says Simon Belmont's new Smash design was shown especially well in the match picture and treats that presentation as part of the boost that helped him beat Ryu Hayabusa.

CB X Round 2 Division 6
Geralt 52.2%
Geralt outlasts Simon in another close duel

Simon led early and kept Geralt tied for hours before Geralt took control late at night. The writeup celebrates the match as another close, entertaining step in Geralt's newcomer run.

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.
