Round 1 |
Midgar |
|
Cloud routs Duke despite a memorable milk-carton picture boost |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
Cloud still routed Duke Nukem, but Duke's memorable milk-carton picture gave the underdog an unusual opening burst and complicated early Link-Cloud comparisons. The writeup frames the match as the start of a contest-long contest between the two favorites' performances.
Pic: The writeup says Duke Nukem's milk-carton match picture drew humorous support, helping him take an early lead and plausibly contributing to Cloud's slight underperformance.

Round 2 |
Midgar |
|
Cloud beats Vyse but loses ground in the Link comparison |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud disposed of Vyse exactly as expected, leaving little to discuss beyond comparisons with Link. The writeup argues that merely meeting expectations was no longer enough because Link had been exceeding his own.

|
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.

Division Final |
Midgar |
|
Cloud handles Sephiroth and restores confidence before Link |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud defeated Sephiroth comfortably despite the rematch carrying at least some plausible upset intrigue. The writeup says the win restored confidence in Cloud just before the expected showdown with Link.

Semifinal |

|
Cloud ends Samus's brief resistance and reaches the final |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus briefly made the semifinal look interesting with an early lead, but Cloud quickly took control and advanced as expected. The writeup treats the rest of the match as little more than preparation for the long-planned Link final.

Final |

|
Link avenges Cloud loss and wins the championship |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Link avenged his previous loss to Cloud and confirmed the strength he had shown throughout the contest. Cloud briefly threatened a comeback, but Link's daytime surge settled the championship without the picture excuses that had shadowed their earlier meeting.

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.
