SC2K4 Round 1 Midgar
Sephiroth 86.4%
Sephiroth obliterates Sly in a predetermined Midgar matchup

Sephiroth obliterated Sly Cooper in a match the writeup considers entirely predetermined. Its main complaint is that the company-based division reduced Sephiroth's early path to meaningless setup matches before the expected confrontation with Cloud.

SC2K4 Round 2 Midgar
Sephiroth 70.3%
Vivi 29.7%
Sephiroth advances while Vivi resists the expected Square squeeze

Sephiroth beat Vivi comfortably, but Vivi held up better than many expected against a fellow Square entrant. The writeup uses the result to argue that Square fanbases are less easily compressed than Nintendo fanbases.

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.

SC2K4 Division Final Midgar
Sephiroth 44.0%
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.

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.
