Mega Man 91.8%
Mega Man's second rout sends Sephiroth hype into overdrive

Mega Man followed his first-round destruction with another extraordinary blowout, this time against an entrant who had already won a match. The writeup remembers this as the point when he became the contest's breakout star and a credible threat to Sephiroth.

SC2K3 Round 2 West
Mega Man 60.8%
Zelda 39.2%
Mega Man beats Zelda but finally looks merely mortal

Mega Man beat Zelda without the usual overwhelming dominance associated with his early contest career. The writeup considered the result mildly disappointing while allowing that Zelda's strength may simply have been underestimated.

Mega Man 64.8%
Tidus 35.2%
Mega Man crushes Tidus and vindicates Heroic Mario

Mega Man demolished Tidus far more decisively than most of Board 8 expected, vindicating Heroic Mario's unusually confident prediction. The writeup treats Tidus's collapse as one of the contest's hardest results to explain.

SC2K5 Round 2 20XX
Mega Man 64.6%
Leon overperforms as Mega Man advances without much drama

Mega Man won comfortably, but Leon performed much better than older Resident Evil comparisons suggested. The writeup treats Leon's showing as evidence that previous statistics had badly understated the series.

Mega Man 58.0%
Ryu 42.0%
Mega Man beats Ryu while another collapse warning goes ignored

Mega Man beat Ryu, but his steady loss of ground was another warning that his old strength was fading. The writeup says people initially blamed the poor showing partly on his bad picture, only realizing later that the decline was real.

Mega Man and Yoshi cruise as Knuckles disappoints again

Mega Man and Yoshi advanced with little suspense after Knuckles's weak opening-round showing had already killed most of the debate. Knuckles again disappointed and never seriously threatened Yoshi.

Mega Man 36.5%
Tidus 22.8%
Nero 12.1%
The Cube advances again without needing any chaos

Mega Man and Weighted Companion Cube advanced in an anticlimactic match whose outcome settled almost immediately. The Cube now looked less like a volatile joke rally and more like a stable, legitimately dangerous entrant.

CB VIII Round 2 Mushroom
Mega Man 61.7%
Zack Fair 38.3%
Mega Man crushes Zack and strengthens his rebound

Mega Man exceeded expectations against a legitimate Zack and reinforced the impression that his series had returned to stronger form. The writeup treats the result as a major statement rather than a routine advancement.

CB IX Round 2 Division 9
Mega Man 56.7%
Kratos 20.2%
Mega Man cruises as Jill beats a declining Kratos

Mega Man delivered another clean top-seed performance, while Jill beat the declining Kratos for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. The writeup treats Jill's placement as an upset only by seed rather than by actual strength.

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.
