SC2K3 Round 1 West
Raiden 17.1%
Snake routs Raiden in a severe same-series SFF match 1

Snake routed Raiden in an expected same-series mismatch. The writeup emphasizes that the result was a severe SFF beating, though Raiden retained enough support to avoid the historically extreme percentage some expected.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Raiden was heavily SFFed by fellow Metal Gear character Solid Snake, while noting that Raiden still performed better than many expected.

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.

Zero makes Crono look vulnerable before Vincent

Crono and Zero advanced as expected, but Zero stayed close enough to make Crono look vulnerable before his anticipated showdown with Vincent. Raiden also emerged as a major disappointment after failing to separate convincingly from HK-47.

CB VII Round 1 Division 7
Raiden 28.4%
Master Chief advances but loses his previous year's aura

Master Chief and Raiden advanced as expected, but Chief looked much less imposing than during his celebrated previous run. The writeup treats that decline as the match's main warning sign.

Master Chief rallies past Big Boss for second 2

Kirby advanced, but the real battle was Master Chief's comeback against Big Boss. Chief's late surge turned a long, competitive fight into another memorable rally-driven reversal.

Rally · LFF: The writeup says Master Chief's fans rallied hard enough to erase Big Boss's lead and secure advancement. It also says Raiden's near-total Metal Gear overlap drained support from Big Boss.

Raiden shuts down Waluigi's joke hopes quickly

Waluigi drew early joke support and briefly inspired another L-Block-style fantasy, but Raiden quickly took control and won comfortably. Alan Wake never threatened even the second-place Expert Challenge position.

CB IX Round 2 Division 1
Link 60.0%
Raiden 22.1%
Yoshi 17.9%
Link SFFs Yoshi as Raiden takes second 1

Link won comfortably while Raiden secured second after Yoshi faded under heavy Nintendo overlap. The writeup also treats Link's low turnout as another sign that voters were tiring of his dominance.

SFF: The writeup says Yoshi tried to resist Link's SFF but could not stay competitive, allowing Raiden to take second in the Expert Challenge ordering.

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.
