# Poll ▲ Contest Round Division Result Headline SFF LFF Rally Cheat Pic n
1 987
writeup (md)		 SC2K2 Round 2 West
Sephiroth 81.5%
 Sephiroth crushes Crash and completes the Mega Man setup

Sephiroth easily eliminated the much higher-seeded Crash and left no doubt that their seeds had badly misstated their relative strength. The writeup treats the match mainly as the final setup for the anticipated Mega Man showdown.
2 1348
writeup (md)		 SC2K3 Round 2 South
Sephiroth 82.7%
Max Payne 17.3%
 Sephiroth crushes Max Payne and completes the South's elite trio

Sephiroth demolished Max Payne in a match the writeup considered almost entirely predetermined. Its main significance was completing the path toward the long-awaited Mario-Crono-Sephiroth endgame in the South.
3 1761
writeup (md)		 SC2K4 Round 2 Midgar
Sephiroth 70.3%
Vivi 29.7%
 Sephiroth advances while Vivi resists the expected Square squeeze

Sephiroth beat Vivi comfortably, but Vivi held up better than many expected against a fellow Square entrant. The writeup uses the result to argue that Square fanbases are less easily compressed than Nintendo fanbases.
4 2007
writeup (md)		 Spring 2K5 Round 2 Jenova
Sephiroth 78.8%
Vergil 21.2%
 Sephiroth buries Vergil in a completely predetermined matchup

Sephiroth buried Vergil in a match whose result the writeup considered completely predetermined. Vergil had fulfilled his bracket role by beating Ghaleon, and this round offered no sign that Sephiroth would later encounter trouble.
5 2899
writeup (md)		 CB VI Round 2 Division 3
Sephiroth 57.1%
Wario 10.0%
 Sephiroth and Fox advance through a predictable Nintendo field

Sephiroth and Fox advanced exactly as expected in a match the writeup considers almost completely predetermined. Sephiroth nevertheless looked especially strong against a field otherwise composed entirely of Nintendo characters.
6 3291
writeup (md)		 CB VII Round 2 Division 8
Sephiroth 41.5%
Kratos 24.2%
 Sephiroth suppresses Tifa and opens the door for Kratos ✓ 1

Sephiroth took first as expected, while Kratos again benefited from a field that disadvantaged one of his stronger rivals. Tifa's elimination made the fanbase dynamics more important than the nominal matchup strength.

SFF: The writeup says Sephiroth's shared Final Fantasy support suppressed Tifa, allowing Kratos to take advantage and claim the other advancing spot.
7 3822
writeup (md)		 CB VIII Round 2 Jenova
Sephiroth 62.7%
 Vincent exposes Sephiroth's growing anti-vote problem

Sephiroth failed to suppress Vincent nearly as hard as expected, and the writeup explicitly rejects ordinary SFF as a sufficient explanation. It instead frames the result as evidence that severe anti-voting had become a structural weakness for Sephiroth and Final Fantasy VII.
8 5231
writeup (md)		 CB IX Round 2 Division 3
Sephiroth 52.0%
 Morrigan repeats her old edge over Spyro

Sephiroth won a routine rematch setting while Morrigan again finished ahead of Spyro, echoing their famous 2002 upset. The writeup finds Sephiroth's modest dominance more notable than the actual ordering.
9 7330
writeup (md)		 CB X Round 2 Division 8
Sephiroth 64.9%
 Sephiroth dismisses Captain Falcon and the decline talk

Sephiroth briefly allowed Captain Falcon an opening before settling into the expected comfortable win. The writeup treats the result as evidence that claims of Sephiroth's collapse had been exaggerated.

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.
