CB VIII Round 1 Jenova
Sephiroth 71.8%
Marth 28.2%
Sephiroth opens with an immediate warning sign

Sephiroth's opening performance looked weak compared with Snake's, which immediately raised concern about his path through the contest. The writeup views this as the first clear warning that Sephiroth was in trouble.

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.

3 3840
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 3 Jenova
Sephiroth 52.9%
Missingno 47.1%
Missingno's planned rally collapses against Sephiroth 1

Missingno built the expected early lead through bandwagon support, but Sephiroth erased it decisively once the night vote arrived. The writeup treats the loss as the end of Missingno's remarkable run and as fuel for even more anti-Sephiroth sentiment.

Rally: The writeup says Missingno's rallying was organized in advance and powered a substantial early lead, though the push was nowhere near enough to survive Sephiroth's overnight strength.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Division Final Jenova
Sephiroth 56.2%
Tifa exposes Sephiroth's anti-vote collapse

Sephiroth struggled badly against Tifa in what the writeup calls his worst performance, framing the weakness as extreme anti-voting magnified by anger over Missingno's elimination. The result effectively ended confidence in Sephiroth beating Snake.

5 3853
writeup (md)
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.

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.
