CB X Round 1 Division 1
Dante 71.6%
Cuphead 28.4%
Dante opens comfortably but looks weak for the top seed

Dante won the opening matchup comfortably but failed to look as overwhelming as the writeup expected from the contest's top overall seed. Cuphead's respectable showing is treated as evidence that the indie newcomer was underseeded rather than truly dangerous.

CB IX Round 1 Division 5
Dante 60.1%
Laharl 25.6%
Raz 14.3%
Dante wins big but nobody trusts the blowout

Dante routed Laharl and Raz, but the writeup refused to read much into another first-round blowout because Dante had repeatedly looked strong before later choking. The entire match is framed around the coming Squirtle test.

CB VIII Round 1 Midgar
Dante 69.4%
Axel 30.6%
Dante strengthens his case while Kingdom Hearts slips

Dante exceeded the comparison the writeup had set using Ryu and looked clearly superior going into their anticipated meeting. Axel's weak performance also added to growing concern that Kingdom Hearts had declined.

CB VII Round 1 Division 7
Dante 50.1%
Hogger 16.8%
Laharl 16.4%
Hogger's rally steals second from a collapsing Ramza 1

Dante was never threatened, but the fight behind him became a three-way scramble in which Hogger surged past Ramza and Laharl. The result became an early signature moment for Ramza's reputation as a contest choker.

Rally: The writeup explicitly says Hogger drew an Internet rally during the day, turning a deficit into a lead and ultimately denying Ramza the advancing spot.

CB VI Round 1 Division 6
Dante 49.2%
Amaterasu 22.8%
Matt 11.5%
Amaterasu beats Little Mac and announces unexpected contest strength

Dante took the expected first place, while Amaterasu quickly settled the debated fight for second by pulling away from Little Mac. The writeup treats the result as the first strong indication that Amaterasu was much more legitimate than many voters had assumed.

CB2K6 Round 1 Patriot
Dante 65.2%
Dante handles Hayabusa and keeps the edge over Yoshi

Dante beat Ryu Hayabusa almost exactly as the writeup's prior expectations suggested. The routine result kept Dante looking steadier than Yoshi heading into their debated second-round meeting.

7 2086
writeup (md)
SC2K5 Round 1 Devil
Dante 71.5%
Terra 28.5%
Dante crushes Terra and ends the upset speculation quickly

Dante crushed Terra and quickly ended what little upset speculation had existed around the matchup. The writeup treats Terra's weakness as another example of an ensemble-cast Final Fantasy character failing to translate game popularity into contest strength.

8 1745
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 1 Chaos
Dante 80.3%
Ratchet 19.7%
Dante destroys Ratchet in another routine first-round mismatch

Dante destroyed Ratchet in another straightforward opening match, though the writeup warns against reading too much into the margin. Ratchet is grouped with the contest's other badly performing 3D platformer characters rather than treated as evidence of elite Dante strength.

9 1332

SC2K3 Round 1 West
Dante 77.7%
Dante answers Ryu's strong opener with his own rout

Dante answered Ryu's impressive opener with a dominant win over Ryo Hazuki. The result restored confidence in Dante before their second-round meeting, even though the writeup retrospectively says he had been overrated.

SC2K2 Round 1 East
Dante 70.0%
Q*Bert 30.0%
Dante handles Q*Bert and builds hype for Crono

Dante dispatched Q*Bert in a match whose main significance was setting up the next round. The writeup says the result added to heavy anticipation for what Board 8 expected to be a competitive Crono-Dante matchup.

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.
