SC2K5 Round 1 Flood
Crono 76.7%
Zidane 23.3%
Crono calmly dispatches Zidane after the previous day's chaos

Crono easily dispatched Zidane in a remarkably steady poll after the chaos of Kefka-Vercetti. The writeup mainly wonders whether shared Square support suppressed Zidane, without reaching a firm conclusion.

writeup (md)
SC2K5 Round 2 Flood
Crono 70.8%
Crono dispatches Vercetti and confirms his elite standing

Crono easily disposed of Vercetti in a quiet follow-up to the chaos required for Vercetti to reach him. The writeup treats the match mainly as confirmation that Crono still belonged among the contest's elite characters.

3 2118
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Division Final Flood
Crono 61.3%
Crono wins while Master Chief's day vote raises fresh doubts

Crono won comfortably, but Master Chief's powerful daytime recovery made the result look less convincing than expected. The writeup treats Chief as unusually non-transitive and questions whether Crono still looked capable of winning the tournament.

4 2124
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Quarterfinal
Crono 55.4%
Crono advances as Vincent creates another statistical puzzle 1

Crono won without serious danger, but Vincent performed far better than comparable projections suggested and then held an unusually stable share for most of the match. The writeup treats the overperformance as a puzzle involving either reverse SFF or an Advent Children boost.

SFF: The writeup presents reverse SFF between newer and older Square fandom as one plausible reason Vincent performed unusually well against Crono, while also considering Advent Children as an alternative explanation.

writeup (md)
SC2K5 Semifinal
Crono 51.4%
Mega Man 48.6%
Crono edges Mega Man but fails to ease doubts about Mario

Crono beat Mega Man in a close-looking semifinal without ever facing a sustained comeback threat. The writeup argues that the narrow margin did little to suggest Crono could stop the much stronger-looking Mario in the final.

6 2128
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Final
Mario 53.9%
Crono 46.1%
Mario beats Crono and completes his dominant 2005 championship run

Mario ended the latest chapter of his Crono rivalry with a convincing championship win, reversing the previous year's result without another dramatic finish. The writeup treats the entire contest as a showcase of Mario's enormous 2005 rise.

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.
