CB VIII Round 1 Gear
Proto Man 27.6%
Snake wins but again looks strange against Nintendo

Snake won comfortably but again looked oddly weak against a Nintendo-associated opponent. The writeup uses the match to argue that some of Snake's newer support disappears against Nintendo characters.

CB VIII Round 2 Gear Snake shrugs off another weak board vote

Snake again started poorly with the board vote before recovering into a solid win. The writeup finds Fox a difficult measuring stick because so many of his prior losses involved Nintendo overlap.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 3 Gear
Pikachu 44.8%
Pikachu scares Snake before Snake takes control

Pikachu briefly led Snake behind a strong opening vote before Snake finally took control and pulled away. The writeup remembers the opening as entertaining but ultimately sees Snake's recovery as convincing.

CB VIII Division Final Gear Snake strengthens again and turns Sephiroth into the underdog

Snake improved again against Squall in their latest rematch and looked strong throughout. The writeup treats the result as the point where a Snake upset of Sephiroth became the dominant expectation.

CB VIII Quarterfinal
Sephiroth 47.0%
Snake finally breaks Sephiroth and targets Cloud

Snake defeated Sephiroth in a matchup that had shifted from pre-contest dream upset to expected result as Sephiroth deteriorated. The writeup treats Snake's control as decisive and immediately turns attention toward whether he could beat Cloud.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Semifinal Cloud survives Snake after a long semifinal deadlock

Snake spent hours trading the lead with Cloud and even stalled through Cloud's normally dominant overnight period, creating genuine upset hope. Cloud's morning strength finally broke the deadlock and ended Snake's deep run.

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.
