CB VII Round 1 Division 6
Midna 20.4%
Cloud and Midna dispatch an overmatched field

Cloud and Midna advanced in another first-round match the writeup regarded as essentially decided before it began. Edgeworth and Axel never generated the upset or novelty support needed to matter.

Pac-Man 13.4%
Cloud dominates while Mewtwo quietly survives Midna

Cloud overwhelmed the field, while Mewtwo held off Midna for the other advancing position without the race ever becoming the epic duel its closeness suggested. The writeup sees Cloud's dominance as the larger statement.

Mewtwo 23.2%
Sora 15.7%
Cloud's Square suppression sends Mewtwo into the quarterfinals 1

Cloud dominated, while Mewtwo turned a seemingly unfavorable draw into one of the contest's largest surprises. Squall and Sora were left fighting each other for scraps behind the advancing pair.

SFF: The writeup says Cloud's presence created massive Square SFF against Squall and Sora, allowing outside entrant Mewtwo to capitalize and advance.

CB VII Quarterfinal
Mewtwo 13.3%
Cloud and Snake advance as the Cube fades quietly

Cloud and Snake advanced through a deliberately uneventful quarterfinal after the drama of the prior match. The Cube's quiet exit confirmed that the inanimate-object wave had largely run out of steam.

CB VII Semifinal
Kirby 22.7%
Sephiroth 16.1%
Snake exploits the split field and beats Cloud 2

Snake converted the divided field into a surprise first-place finish, while Cloud recovered enough to secure the other final berth. Sephiroth's collapse and Kirby's early pressure made the semifinal far stranger than expected.

SFF · LFF: The writeup says Kirby SFFed Sephiroth badly, leaving Sephiroth unusually weak. It also says Sephiroth leeched enough Final Fantasy support from Cloud to keep Cloud from catching outside contender Snake.

CB VII Final
Link 33.7%
Crono 12.2%
Link reclaims the crown while Snake completes his bandwagon run 1

Link completed his revenge tour and reclaimed the championship, but Snake supplied the final surprise by finishing ahead of Cloud. The writeup treats Snake's run as the culmination of years of gradual growth and one of the contest's defining stories.

Rally: The writeup describes Solid Snake as the contest's biggest rallied bandwagon, saying his accumulated support carried him to a shocking second-place finish in the championship.

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.
