Auron exposes Vincent's long-term decline |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Auron comfortably beat Vincent and reinforced the writeup's view that Vincent had fallen sharply from his mid-2000s peak. Board 8 overwhelmingly expected the result despite old faith in Final Fantasy VII's intra-series strength.

Vincent's sabotaged picture becomes the match's defining controversy |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
Mewtwo won convincingly while Phoenix unexpectedly pushed Vincent into last place. The notorious Vincent picture became one of the contest's biggest presentation controversies and overwhelmed much of the discussion.
Pic: The writeup says Vincent received an intentionally terrible Dirge of Cerberus picture and directly blames the image for worsening his performance enough that Phoenix could pass him.

Vincent exposes Sephiroth's growing anti-vote problem |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth failed to suppress Vincent nearly as hard as expected, and the writeup explicitly rejects ordinary SFF as a sufficient explanation. It instead frames the result as evidence that severe anti-voting had become a structural weakness for Sephiroth and Final Fantasy VII.

Gordon shocks Scorpion and keeps the GFNW reversal going |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
Vincent advanced comfortably, while Gordon Freeman completed another major step in his reversal of the old GFNW reputation by beating Scorpion for the second spot. Falco never became a serious factor.
Pic: The writeup says Scorpion's poor match picture was not the sole reason he lost, but explicitly states that it hurt his chances against Gordon Freeman.

Bidoof's suspected offsite push briefly terrifies Vincent |
|
|
✓ |
✓ |
|
2 |
|
Link and Vincent ultimately advanced comfortably, but Bidoof briefly turned the match into chaos by challenging Vincent early and even beating Link in the opening vote. The writeup remembers the surge as one of the contest's most surreal joke-character moments.
Rally · Cheat: The writeup attributes Bidoof's extraordinary early surge to suspected offsite rallying, especially from 4chan, and also records suspicions of vote stuffing.

Sonic beats Vincent but leaves both characters with changed expectations |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic beat Vincent in a match whose final closeness overstated the actual danger, since Sonic controlled it from early on. Vincent nevertheless gained more Noble Nine breaker hype, while Sonic's own prospects against the bracket's elite took a hit.

Vincent beats Dante but loses much of his elite hype |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vincent survived Dante after an unexpectedly competitive start, but the writeup treats the result as a major correction to weeks of Vincent hype. Dante's showing is framed as a moral victory that exposed Vincent as strong but not elite.

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.
