CB X Round 2 Division 2
Pikachu 63.4%
Kratos 36.6%
Pikachu handles a newly boosted Kratos

Pikachu beat a recently boosted Kratos comfortably and continued to look like the strongest Pokémon character in the bracket. The writeup treats Kratos's God of War revival as making the win more impressive than the raw matchup first appears.

Mega Man cruises as Jill beats a declining Kratos

Mega Man delivered another clean top-seed performance, while Jill beat the declining Kratos for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. The writeup treats Jill's placement as an upset only by seed rather than by actual strength.

CB VIII Round 2 Heart
Charizard 54.5%
Kratos 45.5%
Charizard rallies past Kratos and becomes a real threat 1

Charizard turned a heavily anticipated upset attempt into a convincing breakthrough over Kratos. The result launched a serious deep-run scenario for Charizard and confirmed that his first-round strength had been meaningful.

Rally: The writeup explicitly says both Charizard and Kratos were heavily rallied, though Charizard's support proved much more effective.

CB VII Round 2 Division 8
Sephiroth 41.5%
Kratos 24.2%
Sephiroth suppresses Tifa and opens the door for Kratos 1

Sephiroth took first as expected, while Kratos again benefited from a field that disadvantaged one of his stronger rivals. Tifa's elimination made the fanbase dynamics more important than the nominal matchup strength.

SFF: The writeup says Sephiroth's shared Final Fantasy support suppressed Tifa, allowing Kratos to take advantage and claim the other advancing spot.

writeup (md)
CB VI Round 2 Division 7
Kratos 32.5%
L-Block 28.3%
Kirby 24.8%
Nintendo vote splitting turns L-Block into a real threat 1

Kratos took first, but the important result was L-Block advancing again while Kirby was weakened by Donkey Kong. The writeup marks this as the point when L-Block stopped looking like a harmless joke and became a serious contest threat.

LFF: The writeup explicitly says Donkey Kong drained Nintendo support from Kirby, costing Kirby the advancing spot and allowing L-Block to move on.

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.
