Pokémon vote splitting hands Snake an easy path 1

Snake advanced to the final while the two Pokémon entrants split their shared fanbase and fought over second in the Expert Challenge ordering. Pikachu ultimately beat Squirtle after the morning vote.

LFF: The writeup says Squirtle and Pikachu cannibalized each other's Pokémon support, destroying their chances of challenging Snake for first.

Squirtle topples Cloud as Leon drains support 1

Squirtle beat Cloud outright in one of the contest's coolest Noble Nine upsets, surviving Cloud's overnight recovery and pulling away again late. The writeup emphasizes that Cloud's broader Final Fantasy VII decline made the impossible-looking result suddenly believable.

LFF: The writeup says Leon's overlapping PlayStation-oriented support hurt Cloud and played an important role in opening the door for Squirtle's upset.

Squirtle destroys Dante and the DmC hype

Squirtle crushed Dante and made the pre-match Dante support look wildly misplaced, while Zidane never seriously threatened either contender. The writeup frames Dante's defeat as the inevitable result of backlash against the DmC reboot.

Squirtle makes Dante's next match look dangerous

Squirtle beat Ramza comfortably enough to make the upcoming Dante matchup look dangerous immediately. The writeup treats the result as another piece of evidence that Pokémon strength was surging across the bracket.

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.
