1 1328
writeup (md)
SC2K3 Round 1 South
Sephiroth 82.0%
Raziel 18.0%
Sephiroth crushes Raziel as the Oracle Challenge is born

Sephiroth crushed Raziel exactly as expected and remained one of the division's dominant favorites. The writeup's lasting historical note is that a perfect percentage prediction around this match helped inspire the Oracle Challenge.

2 1348

SC2K3 Round 2 South
Sephiroth 82.7%
Max Payne 17.3%
Sephiroth crushes Max Payne and completes the South's elite trio

Sephiroth demolished Max Payne in a match the writeup considered almost entirely predetermined. Its main significance was completing the path toward the long-awaited Mario-Crono-Sephiroth endgame in the South.

3 1358
writeup (md)
SC2K3 Round 3 South
Sephiroth 72.3%
Alucard 27.7%
Sephiroth handles Alucard while attention remains on Mario-Crono

Sephiroth dispatched Alucard in a match largely ignored because it followed the Mario-Crono controversy. The writeup mainly uses the result to strengthen Sephiroth's case before facing Mario in the divisional final.

4 1363
writeup (md)
SC2K3 Division Final South
Sephiroth 61.6%
Mario 38.4%
Sephiroth demolishes Mario and crystallizes the Kingdom Hearts Factor

Sephiroth unexpectedly demolished Mario in what had been expected to resemble the previous year's Mario-Cloud classic. The result became the writeup's clearest evidence yet for a broad Kingdom Hearts-era boost to several Square characters.

5 1366
writeup (md)
SC2K3 Semifinal
Sephiroth 61.2%
Mega Man 38.8%
Sephiroth routs Mega Man and strengthens the Kingdom Hearts case

Sephiroth dominated Mega Man in a rematch that had been nearly even one year earlier. The writeup treats the dramatic swing as some of the strongest evidence for the Kingdom Hearts Factor before the all-FF7 championship match.

6 1367
writeup (md)
SC2K3 Final
Sephiroth 48.1%
Cloud beats Sephiroth to complete his championship run 1

Cloud recovered from Sephiroth's early lead and won a final that the writeup says was less competitive than the ending suggested. It frames the result as the culmination of Cloud's strengthened post-Kingdom Hearts standing and likely same-fanbase suppression of Sephiroth.

SFF: The writeup says SFF likely had the most to do with Cloud beating fellow Final Fantasy VII character Sephiroth, and treats their later rematch as confirmation that Sephiroth was suppressed here.

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.
