# Poll ▼ Contest Round Division Result Headline SFF LFF Rally Cheat Pic n
1 1773
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 Chaos
Sora 34.1%
Samus handles Sora and reinforces her Chaos advantage

Samus dispatched Sora without drama and quickly erased the renewed optimism around Sonic. The writeup views the match as confirmation that Samus should win the division comfortably, even if Cloud remained beyond her reach.

2 1772
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 Chaos
Dante 38.0%
Sonic beats Dante as a bad picture muddies the comparison 1

Sonic beat Dante in another predictable Chaos match and briefly renewed hope that he could challenge Samus. The writeup immediately tempers that optimism by pointing to Dante's poor picture as a possible reason for Sonic's apparent overperformance.

Pic: The writeup says Dante's match picture was exceptionally poor and suggests it may explain why Sonic performed better than the old projections expected.

3 1771
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 Midgar
Sephiroth 67.7%
Auron 32.3%
Sephiroth beats Auron but loses ground to Cloud

Sephiroth beat Auron exactly as the bracket seemed designed to produce, leaving little suspense. The writeup's main takeaway is that Sephiroth looked clearly weaker than Cloud against a common opponent.

4 1770
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 Midgar Cloud dominates Squall in a predictable SFF matchup 1

Cloud easily beat Squall in a heavily shared-fanbase matchup, but the result did little to improve his standing against Link. The writeup remembers the match mainly as another predictable step toward the planned final.

SFF: The writeup explicitly frames Cloud versus Squall as a matchup with a massive amount of SFF, with Cloud dominating the fellow Final Fantasy entrant.

5 1769
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 20XX
Frog 48.6%
Snake survives Frog but suffers another damaging performance

Solid Snake survived Frog, but Frog's ability to stay competitive made Snake look like one of the contest's biggest disappointments. The writeup uses the match to criticize overly literal reliance on extrapolated standings.

6 1768
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 20XX
Mega Man 56.0%
Zero 44.0%
Mega Man beats Zero as the expected SFF barely appears

Mega Man beat Zero as expected, but Zero resisted far better than a typical same-family opponent. The writeup argues that their distinct series fanbases may explain why the anticipated SFF barely appeared and why Mega Man looked vulnerable afterward.

7 1767
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 Hyrule
Crono 53.2%
Mario 46.8%
Crono finally beats Mario in an anticlimactic revenge match

Crono finally defeated Mario after their two legendary earlier meetings, but the long-awaited rematch was anticlimactic. Crono controlled the match while the writeup framed the result as overdue revenge and the likely end of the rivalry's classic era.

8 1766
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 3 Hyrule
Link 81.7%
Yoshi 18.3%
Link overwhelms Yoshi in harsher-than-expected SFF 1

Link destroyed Yoshi in a predictable same-company matchup, but the degree of suppression surprised even people expecting SFF. The writeup treats the result as another intimidating sign of Link's championship strength.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Link versus Yoshi a straight SFF match and says the fanbase effect was even harsher than most expected, heavily suppressing Yoshi.

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.
