CB2K6 Round 1 Time
Crono 74.2%
Crono cruises past Falcon but again shows a weak day vote

Crono comfortably beat Captain Falcon in his debut as a top seed. The only concern in the writeup is Crono's familiar daytime weakness, which allowed Falcon to recover substantially after the early stages.

CB VI Round 1 Division 3
Wario 22.5%
Banjo 13.1%
Fox dominates an all-Nintendo four-way through heavy SFF 1

Fox dominated an all-Nintendo field far more thoroughly than expected, while Wario eventually secured the second advancing position over Captain Falcon. The writeup treats Fox's performance as one of the contest's strongest examples of SFF.

SFF: The writeup explicitly characterizes Fox's dominant performance as Nintendo SFF and says Fox suppressed Captain Falcon more heavily than Wario.

CB VII Round 1 Division 4
Alucard 35.5%
Captain Falcon finally breaks through behind Alucard

Alucard advanced as expected, but Captain Falcon's strong showing overturned his reputation as perennial fodder and sent him through as well. Diddy Kong's failure was the sharper disappointment.

CB VIII Round 1 Midgar
Wander 28.9%
The writeup mostly rants about Wander †OT

The writeup is mostly an extended attack on Wander and Shadow of the Colossus, with Captain Falcon's easy win serving mainly as an excuse for that rant.

Alucard 36.3%
Rydia 27.7%
Alucard survives Falcon in the first true photo finish

Captain Falcon built a substantial early lead, but Alucard erased it overnight and then survived an unexpectedly weak Nintendo daytime response. The narrow finish became the contest's first true photo finish and one of its most entertaining early matches.

writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 8 Captain Falcon shuts down Richter's Smash hype

Captain Falcon beat newly Smash-boosted Richter comfortably and erased the upset hype created by Richter's recent announcement. The writeup treats Falcon's long Smash pedigree as more valuable than Richter's fresh exposure.

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.
