Shadow demolishes heavily favored Wario in a major surprise

Shadow demolished a heavily favored Wario in one of the board's largest first-round surprises. The writeup says Wario's poor match picture made supporters nervous beforehand, but treats Shadow's strength and Wario's failure as the main story.

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.

Sephiroth 57.1%

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.

Zack opens 2008 with an immediate bracket surprise

The opening match immediately produced a surprise, with Zack outperforming the expected Nintendo advantage and establishing himself as much stronger than many anticipated. Cecil, meanwhile, disappointed badly despite renewed Final Fantasy IV visibility.

ZackFAQs takes off behind another dominant Link win 1

Link dominated, but the match is remembered as the real beginning of ZackFAQs. Zack's convincing advancement transformed him from a promising newcomer into one of the contest's central bandwagon stories.

SFF: The writeup says Link SFFed Wario into irrelevance, leaving the meaningful race to Zack and Zidane.

Wario shuts down MINEFEAR without drama

Wario dismissed the brief MINEFEAR speculation and won comfortably, while Creeper took second in the Expert Challenge ordering. The King of All Cosmos never became a real factor.

CB IX Round 2 Division 8
Wario 21.1%
Red SFFs Wario and clears second for Wrex 1

Red dominated while Wrex took advantage of Wario's severe Nintendo overlap to claim second in the Expert Challenge ordering. The result made Wrex's first-round upset look more legitimate.

SFF: The writeup says Red SFFed Wario, allowing Wrex to pass the Nintendo character comfortably for second in the Expert Challenge ordering.

CB X Round 1 Division 2
Wario 64.6%
Monika 35.4%
Monika rallies but never seriously threatens Wario 1

Monika drew the outside support many bracketmakers feared, but Wario remained safely in control throughout. The writeup treats the failed upset as evidence that small fandom rallies were much less dangerous under the contest's anti-rally setup.

Rally: The writeup explicitly says Monika received a real Reddit and community rally, visible in the higher turnout and several stalls or small cuts, but that the push was far too weak to threaten Wario.

CB X Round 2 Division 2
Wario 61.0%
Wario ends Master Hand's joke run cleanly

Wario comfortably eliminated Master Hand after the joke and rally support some expected for the Smash boss never appeared. The writeup treats Wario's first deeper run as more a product of bracket luck than newfound strength.

CB X Round 3 Division 2
Zero 60.2%
Wario 39.8%
Zero ends Wario's lucky run without trouble

Zero comfortably ended Wario's run through a weak part of the bracket and looked exactly like the reliable upper-midcard favorite expected of him. Wario's respectable share still surprised the writeup.

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.
