writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 1
Ganondorf 78.6%
Ganondorf opens with a huge Zelda-era statement

Ganondorf crushed Neku far more severely than expected and immediately looked like the division favorite. The writeup treats the result as an early sign that Zelda, Switch and Smash hype would dominate the contest.

2 7303
writeup (md)
CB X Round 2 Division 1
Ganondorf 58.9%
Chun-Li 41.1%
Ganondorf wins but badly damages his division case

Ganondorf beat Chun-Li but looked far weaker than expected for a character many had viewed as a likely division winner. The writeup treats the poor performance as a major warning, while explicitly dismissing earlier complaints about his sprite picture.

3 7334
writeup (md)
CB X Round 3 Division 1
Ganondorf 56.4%
Dante 43.6%
Ganondorf exposes Dante as an unworthy top seed

Ganondorf comfortably eliminated the contest's top overall seed Dante in a match that barely moved. The writeup treats the loss as proof Dante was badly overseeded rather than evidence of a close divisional race.

4 7350
writeup (md)
CB X Division Final Division 1
Ganondorf 52.0%
Vivi 48.0%
Ganondorf narrowly holds off a strong Vivi challenge

Ganondorf beat Vivi after an early struggle, but Vivi stayed close enough to reinforce his reputation as an unusually durable Final Fantasy character. The writeup believes Nintendo and Zelda momentum were just enough to decide the matchup.

5 7358
writeup (md)
CB X Legends
Link 79.6%
Ganondorf 20.4%
Link SFFs Ganondorf in the Legends opener 1

Link opened the Legends Bracket by crushing Ganondorf, though the margin was less extreme than their famous older matchup. The writeup treats the result as heavily distorted by Zelda-series overlap rather than a clean measure of Ganondorf's strength.

SFF: The writeup treats Link's domination of Ganondorf as a clear SFF result, noting that Ganondorf is much stronger than the raw margin suggests and that Zelda resists Link's SFF better.

6 7366
writeup (md)
CB X Redemption
Mega Man 60.0%
Ganondorf 40.0%
Mega Man routs Ganondorf and rejects the sprite excuse

Mega Man routed Ganondorf in the losers bracket and made the pre-match expectations look far too conservative. The writeup spends much of its analysis rejecting claims that Ganondorf's sprite picture caused the poor result.

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.
