Samus crushed Tifa again in a nearly identical rematch of their earlier Legends Bracket meeting. The writeup sees the repeat as unnecessary but definitive proof that Tifa was not on Samus's level.

Tifa upset Sephiroth after controlling the early hours and held on despite his later recovery. The writeup treats the result as the burial of Sephiroth's old elite status and one of Tifa's defining wins.

SFF: The writeup explicitly calls Tifa's win the first confirmed case of Reverse SFF, with the usual same-fanbase hierarchy flipping against Sephiroth.

Samus demolished Tifa and erased memories of their much closer 2006 meeting. The writeup treats the rout as proof that Tifa's excellent main-bracket run still had a clear ceiling against truly elite opposition.

Tifa beat Luigi after a close opening and pulled away without needing the rallying that had decided her Mega Man X match. The win completed one of the main bracket's toughest divisional paths.

Mega Man X and Tifa traded leads throughout one of the contest's best matches before outside support became decisive late. Tifa's final rally push erased X's last advantage and carried her through the divisional thriller.

Rally: The writeup describes organized pushes for both Mega Man X and Tifa, including subreddit and outside-site rallies. It explicitly says Tifa's broader rally sources supplied the final push that decided the match.

Tifa crushed Mewtwo in a matchup many had once imagined favoring the Pokémon character. The writeup uses the result to reject Mewtwo's rally-inflated 2013 reputation and to establish Tifa as a serious threat.

Tifa routed Geno and remained one of the few Final Fantasy VII characters still looking consistently strong. The writeup also uses the match to revisit Geno's extraordinary history of repeated contest appearances without a win.

Samus controlled the simplest divisional final, with Tifa quickly taking second in the Expert Challenge ordering and L-Block never recreating its old magic. The writeup treats the match as a rare breather in an otherwise chaotic stretch.

Tifa won comfortably while Dragonborn again looked far weaker than Skyrim's game-level popularity had suggested. Yuna's respectable third-place showing despite the Square overlap made Dragonborn's collapse look even worse.

LFF: The writeup treats Tifa and Yuna's shared Final Fantasy support as a real vote split, noting that Yuna stayed surprisingly close to Dragonborn even while Tifa was in the poll.

Tifa dominated Chun-Li and Cirno, but the match is remembered mainly for fraudulent Cirno votes being removed. The controversy did not threaten Tifa's overwhelming win.

Cheat: The writeup says fraudulent votes were removed from Cirno during the match and attributes the stuffing to a Touhou supporter, while extra notes acknowledge that the identity of the stuffer remained debatable.

Sephiroth struggled badly against Tifa in what the writeup calls his worst performance, framing the weakness as extreme anti-voting magnified by anger over Missingno's elimination. The result effectively ended confidence in Sephiroth beating Snake.

Tifa beat Big Daddy, but the writeup thought she looked oddly weak compared with her prior performance. It attributes the flat showing to backlash from Missingno supporters after Sephiroth had eliminated their favorite.

Tifa ended Gordon Freeman's run in a match the writeup viewed as predictable after Gordon nearly lost to Peach. Gordon's weak showing also undercut the significance of his recent outside-contest success.

Tifa crushed Yuri in a result the writeup considered entirely predictable. The commentary uses the blowout mainly to continue its broader argument that Tales characters are consistently over-nominated.

SFF: The writeup explicitly describes Tifa's rout of Yuri Lowell as SFF.

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.

Sephiroth and Tifa advanced as expected, but Tifa held up far better against Sephiroth than many feared. The writeup treats that resistance as an encouraging sign rather than a true upset story.

Tifa pushed Samus to the brink and briefly took control before Samus's daytime recovery secured the win. The writeup frames it as Samus's worst performance, with picture theories and rejected fraudulent votes becoming central parts of the controversy.

Cheat · Pic: The writeup treats Samus's Zero Suit picture as a plausible contributor to her severe underperformance, while rejecting it as a complete explanation. It also cites CJayC's report of large numbers of rejected cheating votes favoring Tifa.

Tifa won the division easily, but the writeup's main takeaway is that Peach had done enough during the contest to shed her old fodder reputation. The match itself offered little drama beyond confirming Tifa's comfortable superiority.

The writeup treats Tifa's easy win as obvious, then spends most of its space arguing about a hypothetical physical fight between Tifa and The Boss rather than the poll itself.

Tifa produced the first performance the writeup considered truly dominant, while Ivy and the broader Soul Calibur cast looked increasingly weak. The unusually high interest around the match picture is treated more as spectacle than as an explanation for the result.

Sonic shook off Tifa's early resistance and pulled away once his morning vote arrived. The writeup treats the match mostly as a final setup for the much less predictable Sonic-Mega Man quarterfinal.

Tifa beat Luigi, but Luigi performed far better than the writeup says most of Board 8 expected. The result is framed as another warning against overvaluing one prior match and as more evidence of Nintendo's broader 2005 rise.

Tifa's long-awaited contest debut became a rout as she performed far beyond expectations against Vyse. The writeup immediately debates whether Tifa was truly elite or whether Vyse had simply been overrated for years.
