# Poll ▼ Contest Round Division Result Headline SFF LFF Rally Cheat Pic n

writeup (md)		 CB IX Round 2 Division 6
Pikachu 47.1%
Crono 40.4%
Magus 12.5%
 Pikachu exploits Crono-Magus SFF and eliminates Crono ✓ 1

Pikachu decisively eliminated Crono after Magus collapsed under same-series overlap. The result became one of the clearest signs that the old Noble Nine hierarchy no longer controlled the bracket.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Magus was SFFed into the ground by Crono, giving Pikachu the opening it needed.

writeup (md)		 CB VII Round 2 Division 4
Crono 32.1%
L-Block 27.7%
Amaterasu 16.3%
 L-Block advances but finally looks vulnerable

Crono and L-Block advanced in a much quieter sequel to L-Block's chaotic opening match. The defending champion looked strikingly ordinary, creating the first real sense that the repeat bid might be beatable.
3 2902
writeup (md)		 CB VI Round 2 Division 4
Crono 36.7%
Zero 32.6%
Raiden 17.3%
HK-47 13.4%
 Zero makes Crono look vulnerable before Vincent

Crono and Zero advanced as expected, but Zero stayed close enough to make Crono look vulnerable before his anticipated showdown with Vincent. Raiden also emerged as a major disappointment after failing to separate convincingly from HK-47.
4 2545
writeup (md)		 CB2K6 Round 2 Time
Crono 57.4%
Bowser 42.6%
 Crono handles Bowser but his day vote raises alarms

Crono handled Bowser without serious trouble, but his steady daytime decline stood out more than the result itself. The writeup treats the match as another warning that Crono's weak day vote would eventually cost him against stronger opposition.
5 2107
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.
6 1752
writeup (md)		 SC2K4 Round 2 Hyrule
Crono 69.8%
Magus 30.2%
 Crono crushes Magus in another severe same-series SFF match ✓ 1

Crono crushed Magus in a matchup the writeup considers another casualty of the company-based bracket. Magus briefly led with Board 8 support, but the eventual SFF blowout left no useful opportunity to test his real strength.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Magus was hit by SFF against fellow Chrono Trigger character Crono, making the lopsided result a poor measure of Magus's standalone strength.
7 1346
writeup (md)		 SC2K3 Round 2 South
Crono 78.9%
Kefka 21.1%
 Crono crushes Kefka as Square SFF becomes a major debate ✓ 1

Crono obliterated a Kefka whose first-round struggle had already ended most upset expectations. The unusually severe result sparked arguments about Square SFF and set up the heavily anticipated Mario-Crono rematch.

SFF: The writeup retrospectively treats Crono's blowout of Kefka as an SFF match, while noting that Square SFF was still disputed and poorly understood at the time.
8 977
writeup (md)		 SC2K2 Round 2 East
Crono 66.6%
Dante 33.4%
 Crono turns a hyped Dante match into a rout

Crono turned a heavily anticipated close match with Dante into an easy victory. The writeup says the result revealed how misleading their superficially similar first-round performances had been and made Crono a serious threat to Lara.

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.
