Rivalry Round 1 West Cloud and Sephiroth fire a major warning salvo

Cloud and Sephiroth won easily, but the writeup considers their showing shockingly weak for a top pairing and immediately writes off their chances against Link. The broader explanation is growing anti-Final-Fantasy-VII voting.

Rivalry Round 2 West Cloud and Sephiroth cruise through a low-interest matchup

Cloud and Sephiroth dispatched Kratos and Zeus in a match the writeup barely considered worth analyzing. The only notable wrinkle was Cloud finally enjoying a relatively good board vote against an even more anti-voted opponent.

Rivalry Division Final West Cloud and Sephiroth expose a sharply weakened Snake

Cloud and Sephiroth unexpectedly rolled over Snake and Liquid, leaving the writeup searching among Metal Gear decline, Liquid's weakness, and possible overlap for an explanation. It treats the result mainly as evidence that Snake had fallen sharply.

Rivalry Quarterfinal Cloud and Sephiroth win but confirm their Link problem

Cloud and Sephiroth crushed Squall and Seifer by almost the same proportion as an old Final Fantasy VII-versus-VIII matchup. The writeup treats the lack of improvement as a warning that they had no chance against Link.

writeup (md)
Rivalry Semifinal Link's semifinal rout becomes the case for retirement

Link and Ganondorf demolished Cloud and Sephiroth so badly that the writeup treats the match as final proof Link should be retired. Cloud's late recovery merely kept the final percentage from looking even worse.

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.
